Got this idea from the Canadian News thread.

Thought it would be fun to post what you think other posters look like. You can say whether they are accurate or not. You don't have to give a description of yourself if you are uncomfortable with that. Or, you can have several people give their answer and then respond on who was right.
Just something to have fun with.

I know from my name, many though Nat was short for Natalie, and that I was a women.

Wrong!

For Netwit I thought

"In my minds eye, I picture you Netwit as having shortish dark hair, not too tall, and fierce ( fierce in the good sense ) looking eyes and a quick smile."

I have been dying my hair for years so I'm probably grey. But it's dyed to my youthful dark blonde/light brown. I'm 5' 4". 113 pounds. My eyes are as blue as the Manitoba sky, hehe. As to whether my eyes are fierce or not, I suppose that depends on what someone has done

I remember something along these lines with the topic being BruSan. If I recall correctly several of us had a picture of a giant, hairy army guy, and he described himself as very different. I don't recall which actor he compared himself to.

I imagine you as being athletic, around 5' 10", smart haircut with grey at the temples, probably naturally brown hair, and blue eyes.

I imagined Acajack as being 5' 9" or so, stylish in a Montreal way. Low key demeanor, and wears glasses and looks very intellectual. Maybe with a bit of an absent-minded professor air. At least I think his kids might say so. Definitely not a lumberjack! 5 o'clock shadow, no beard. Brown hair and eyes.

I'm' 5'11, was more athletic a few years ago. Used to run 12k 3 times a week, plus the gym 3 times a week.
I am trying to get back into running, but I'm doing longer walks first. I'm buying a new bike this year, so I can get out and enjoy that.

My hair was a medium to light blonde, in my youth. There is a bit of that left, buy a light grey has certainly taken over, and yes, especially at the temples.

My eyes are green, but some say they change depending on the light? Some say green, some say blue/grey.

You did pretty good!

You guys should use Dall-E or Stable Diffusion to generate pictures of each other if you really want to get into it.

I think Canadian posters have square hands. (As per South Park)

For the record, I don't have a lumberjack look! I do wear glasses and have been told more than once that I have a bit of a casual, artsy lawyer look. Clean cut for sure, with a five o'clock shadow on occasion.

I only wear collared shirts in everyday life, except for working in the yard or doing exercise. Same goes for running shoes - never when out and and about. Always dress shoes or dressy boots. Sneakers only in very specific circumstances. No caps or anything on my head, unless I am going to be outside in the cold for a very long time.

Hopefully people are less disappointed now!

About as I expected. I was imagining someone fit and strong but still feminine!
