Do you picture fellow members?

Post by scanman » Mon Aug 22, 2011 9:53 am

Done this on other forums I have been on and it can be fun to find out how other members imagine each other if they have never actually met. (sorry if it has already been done/asked here in the past).

Do you picture fellow members based on their user name, or any other part of their profile such as their avatar?

Say if a user was called "Humpty Dumpty" would you picture them as short, fat and bald? :lol:

Have you pictured someone on here, then met them then discovered they are the opposite gender, look different, are older, are younger or etc than you imagined?

Yes - if they have a picture of a person on their avatar; ie. Goose's avatar of Goose from Top Gun. So i imagine that he really does look like Goose!

Lets hope Goose does not use the same reasoning to picture what you look like :lol:

Yes, don't tell him but 'Spirit of Kitty Hawk' always posts very mature, thought out comments and I met him without realising as he is just a youny whipper snapper!

So..............

How do you picture me?????
Using info available: Scanman, did have an avatar of a RAFAT Hawk, changed this to a Seaking, and then to my current one (prior to Saturday, so unconnected with the weekends sad news), and the bit saying I have 8 years of RAF service behind me etc.

Be kind, we may meet in the future :lol:

My Mrs thinks so, trouble is, as you point out, the real Goose didn't have a beer belly or a receding hair line! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've met him and still picture him as Goose.

The likeness isn't totally ridiculous though...

Having actually seen a photo of Goose, he does look a little like Goose from the film, just with a bald patch :P

Here's one then - stick your own username into the search bar at the top of the page and find out if any other FCers have been talking about you behind your back! :Wow:
