What do You look like?

I look like a scout from Elemental

I look like my landsmann arnie. well, not really, but there is a funny terminator posing pic.

Nice Avatar Shadowhal. I loved Babylon 5 during the Shadow War.

Come on people, post some pics! Have some balls. Don't be scared

I look ugly and don't want to scare anyone...

You're not the only person.

This is my real picture for sure.

There's just too much people that could use picture on the net. Nothing is really private on the net and I prefer to stay "old cat" than my real name. You avoid stereotypes ... Imagine i'm asian .. or fat .. or androgyne .. or with a big scar all over the face or .. etc. You wouldn't listen to what I say as closely as if I'm just "vieuxchat". Just remember that what's on the net could be copied, re-used, used against you in some years, etc. In France, where I live, a newspaper kind of made a biography of citizen with just what was on the net (facebook, i'm looking at you). That was frightening .. they know almost anything of his life.

Another little story ? Someone got a job interview .. and the bosses showed him a picture taken from the net where he was showing his ass ... things like that shouldn't ever happen, but everyone should be carreful with what they're "giving" on internet.

There's IRL meetings to let people know each other better

I agree vieuxchat you make a good point of course. I'm not asking anyone to share private information. I'll never give my real name out. Everyone here and on the web in general only know me as Raven Xavier. As for Rl meetings. One of my old UO shards used to have a "get together" every couple of years, usually a picnic. It was always a fun time.

@ Polynomial: it's nice to see I'm not the only one.

UO shards, haha I used to play UO religiously, I loved that game, I still have it installed.

This is how I look. Well, I cut my hair, so not quite.

well. i prefer to have my identity hidden when on the internet. you know.. you just can't trust anybody easily on the net.

May I ask what is wrong with being Asian?

I'm actually Richard Dean-Anderson.



This pictures a little old, sorry.

I LOOK LIKE THIS

Hey that's awesome. Can I have your autograph and Amanda Tapping's phone number?

Old from college-ish days.

Looking pissed and hungover in my pink bathroom, with pink towel!

Sure thing

I can't help you wih the phone number though, we don't speak much anymore. There was some.... unpleasantness.

I look like Hugh Laurie...rofl... I wish...why would you care...

I like to create characters in RPGs that look like me. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. My housemate used to often comment that the character looked like me, if he walked in on me gaming. But now he's aware of what I'm doing

It depends where you live. In some countries, looking as an asian will change the way people talk to you.

Sadly we have stereotypes for a reason, because more often then not they are true. I'm not saying they're right, and there are Always exceptions. Stereotypes are Not always true. Thinking they are will only make you ignorant. Here's a example.

In the area of Florida where I live a lot of Indians (from India not Native Americans) own convenience stores. Saying that Indians Always own convenience stores would be a stereotype. A lot of Indians who Migrate to the United States go into Medicine as well. One of my Doctors I go to is named Baharat Patel. He's Indian. His wife is a doctor in pediatrics as is his daughter. He went into Digestive Health. When you look in our local phone book you find 3 doctor Patels. In this particular example saying Indians go into medicine is just as accurate as saying Indians always own convenience stores. Saying they are all doctors doesn't sound as funny as saying they all own convenience stores though, now does it?

Smart people look beyond stereotypes and understand that in reality they could only be used as a vague outline at best to see cultural similarities.

and here I thought I was the only person who did that

Nah my Aion and Wow characters look like me as well

There my Avatar is my picture now, and my real name is Ash,

and this is my cat Merlin.

Something like that

I look just like Will Smith. See the resemblance?
