What do you envision other ATers to look like?

Just reading Platinum's thread about how his weight has changed. How do you imagine certain ATer's looking?

I always imagine Skoorb to be heavier than he is. I've seen his pics and he's a pretty good-looking, well-built guy but for some reason some of the caustic humor of his posts make me imagine him as heavier, though not overweight.

I always think of Geekbabe as that tall, willowy type, on the border of being angular but not quite hitting that point, just staying slender.

TommyVercetti I see as a kinda short, fairly muscled guy. Which proves that perception of looks doesn't connect to liking for me, since I don't like him much (probably in reaction to the mocking Christian persona he had for a while.)

I imagine sully (yllus) to be about average height, average-to-good build, clean-shaven, with a good smile.

I think of Dezign as having a petite body (shorter than she is, judging by her pics), a swaying way of walking, and a menacing scowl when she chooses to use it.


None of my imaginings are meant to be derogatory in any way. Just what comes to mind when reading people's posts.

I imagine Skoorb to be a pretty quiet guy in person but wacky once he's relaxed and/or not quite sober.

HotChic, I know you'll be normal to meet in person. Good times. :) You rock.

Mill would be a pretty funny guy, almost as boisterous in person as he is online.

I get to meet eakers in a week and one day so I'll let you know how that goes. :)

I thought your imagings of some notable ATers proved to be the stuff of fantasies. ;)

No no no, physically! I should put that in the title. :)

Well, get your hand off your beef puppet when you're fantasizing about me!

Oops. Okay, I can do this. I've seen pictures but I know what you're talking about. Formulate an image based on the words. It's good to get away from the all-logic world of comp sci for a while...

- HotChic is a quiet, graceful and petite young woman with a delicate build. If I had never seen a picture I would have guessed a brunette with glasses who tends to draw back into the background and watch others as much as she would participate.

- Skoorb would be a lot the same way, quiet but with a ready smile. Again, opens up when he feels comfortable or is less than sober - as opposed to the HotChic in my mind who would politely drink only Cokes.

- RossMAN is tough. If I had to guess...late twenties or early thirties, behind a desk a lot of the time but in pretty good shape. Typical investment banker type guy you see wearing a suit to work.

- Mill would be a slightly heavier more muscled guy who feels comfortable making casual conversation with anyone.

- justint/tnitsuj looks like a cop, nuff said.

Complaint: There just aren't enough really notable posters on AT anymore to do this. Damn you bland bastards.

Mill, hm? I can see him either as being pretty tall and pretty skinny or, as you said, slightly more muscled (hence his readiness to pick fights ;))

Ross? Early thirties, not overweight but about 6'1" and not "worked" or highly muscled. Susan I see as probably 5'5" to 5'7", made up of nice, normal curves, not really thin but definitely good-looking.

Oh, and MrsSkoorb has rosy cheeks, a read smile, is a tad shorter, and prettily-built, cute curves, dark (brown or black) hair.

luvly is tall, 6'+ and angular/thin, almost awkward in her build, with a stony stare, a haughty look, and an odd way of standing (like most models, hm?)

Every time I have met someone I have talked to on the phone or chatted with, they have never been what I expected. Personality yes but physically no.

I do resemble my avatar, a Walmart rent-a-cop, :p j/k

I am 6' and Susan is I dunno how tall (they use the metric system in Australia). I'd guess 5'4" but she is nice and curvy :D
