I say this because I don't. I wouldn't be able to match the avi/username to picture in PYP.

But someone already knew that I was black. Which I find odd because I'm not exactly a regular poster, I have a white woman in my avi and I've only posted in PYP twice now.

HBU?

Yes, I have a very, very detailed image of what I assume are the Nicki stans.

not really tbh. i still haven't even remembered well most of usernames, i mean i usually identify them with avatars so when someone changes it, it takes me a while to figure out who is that . it isn't like that with all the members though.

I already know what a lot of members look like.

Yes and that's why I don't want to know how the members really look...because no one can live up to the image you have in your head.

I usually picture by their avi

So you don't look like P!nk?

But does anyone know what you look like?

You have high expectations? Why?

Same

Yes. I guess what people look like based on who they stan for, their avi, and how they write.

I guess there's that option too

I wasn't talking about myself

I don't have high expectations and I don't wanna sound superficial.
IMO it's just natural that you imagine people you don't know looking better than they actually do.

I guess so. I used to think that way until I realized that 90% of the active members on ATRL are male

Kind of. It's complicated. When I know what somebody looks like, it completely changes my image and I don't really think about it much. But when I don't know what somebody looks like, my mind creates an image of what they might look like. It's really weird. I think most people are like that, though. I mean, I don't sit here all day, fantasizing and thinking about ATRL members, but still.

My mental images are comprised of different bits of information I know about people. If the person is overweight/skinny, black/white, tall/short, etc. And sometimes different images I associate with the person (whether it's a gif, avatar; anything along those lines). I'm usually wrong about people, though.

I know this is weird butI always expect people to look like thier avi and I'm always shocked when in PYP and they don't.

Me too, especially when it's an artist/celebrity I'm not familiar with.

For the longest time, I thought Ace was Meg Ryan and/or Goldie Hawn because this was his avatar.
