This is obviously lighthearted!

Do posters picture other posters?

I see gonegirl as very slim, energetic, blond, busy, athletic and a good cook!grin

I see Maryeliza as a size 12/14 a reader and with a very wide social circle who does voluntary work.

I see urmstrongrsn as quite tall and slim, likes a night out, loud and cheeky but very soft heated.

grin feel free to add posters wink

Haha sharon not quite right you’re right on the smart but casual clothes mostly But long chestnut hair couldn’t be farthest from the truth I have short choppy silver blonde. I used to be 5’7 now 5’5, longish slim legs, size 14 so not too fattish and you’re sort of right on light make up but it goes on straight out the shower whether I m going out or staying in Like my earrings especially ethnic type Never use any beauty things like creams, never needed to pluck eyebrows or shave legs ( the blond bit) so I m ready for the day in about 10 mins Fairly low maintenance
Thank you Nannylovesshoing x

Well here I really am. Doing a reading at the People's Friend 150th celebration event recently. I like this pic as you can't see my (fat) face!

Oldandverygrey Thu 23-May-19 17:38:29

My daughter says I resemble Margaret Thatcher in her later years!

crazyH Thu 23-May-19 17:43:50

I can't see your face, but I can see you are tall and I wish I were as tall as you ....

Im very unremarkable. Averagey and frumpy. Kinda by design, I like to fly under the radar..

I'm certainly not pretty but I must be attractive to some degreehmm as I had a huge number of b/fs before I married and was engaged 3 times.
I appealed to both sexes as, in my 40s and 50s I was propositioned by 3 different women. One, a woman who had inherited a farm called The Limes, somewhere around Wolverhampton, another who was the Parisian guest of an English Duke and his wife (we met at dinner) and the last was a young Asian actress for whom I was clarifying some legal issues.
Unfortunately for them, I have no interest in women...other than as friends and even then, I have many more male friends than female ones.
Women can be so catty and gossipy which I find unappealing.

Gonegirl Thu 23-May-19 19:21:14

" engaged 3 times" GG? how long did it take each of them to...?

Oh, never mind.

I suppose most know what my head/face look like from my "Brave the Shave" for MacMillan last year!

NanKate Thu 23-May-19 19:42:05

I’m 5ft 2ish but say 5ft 3ins. Have been size 18/20 but am now size 12/14.

My blonde hair is really grey ?

Size 6 feet and two bunions.

I’m known to wear a lot of purple and always a necklace or pendant. I have stacks of them predominantly bought from charity shops.

GabriellaG54 Thu 23-May-19 20:01:33

Wow! That's some weight loss NanKate. Congratulations. ???

GabriellaG54 Thu 23-May-19 20:03:18

Yes...I do have a sense of humour Gonegirl.
grin

BlueBelle Thu 23-May-19 21:02:27

After a write up like that I wonder why on earth women would seem catty Gabriella ???

GabriellaG54 Thu 23-May-19 21:05:47

Sorry BlueBelle that comment is over my head. confused

rosecarmel Thu 23-May-19 21:22:46

I have that "thing", too -- appealing to both sexes- I think it's due to having "somewhat" of an androgynous look/appearance-

Despite cat fights, and what everyone truly looks like, I picture everyone being kind -- even Mawbroon .. smile

DanniRae Thu 23-May-19 21:55:08

Well someone doesn't suffer from self doubt, do they? hmm

callgirl1 Thu 23-May-19 22:03:32

I keep waiting for MawB to reply re the stew and dumplings, lol!
I`m short, fat, grey with a few leftover brown bits, and need a walking stick, my romantic liaisons are still what they`ve always been...……...dreams!

mcem Thu 23-May-19 22:20:32

Self doubt danni? That's for inferior beings!
A classic example of the old Scottish saying "She thinks she's Erchie!"
(Don't ask!!!!!)

At least you can never be let down in dreams...
I watched an enjoyable film last night on iPlayer starring Pierce Brosnan. 'Love Is All You Need'.
6Not my usual cuppa but the scenery was good.
Subtitled from Swedish. I like subtitled films - more interesting IMO.
It gets removed in 90 minutes if you want to see it. smile

Do you have a problem with opinionated, self confident women mcem because you seem very bitter and scathing when no-one has given you cause to be so, not in this thread anyway.
I would look in the mirror and ask yourself why you need to castigate others who actually, in a non-narcissistic manner, like themselves.
I can't be superior as I'm from Liverpool and shop at Primark (among other stores)
That alone tells you that many women from Liverpool have oodles of confidence and I'm certainly not remotely pretty.
Maybe it's just that you'll never have my chutzpah.
Never mind.
If it pleases you to constantly find fault with me (which you always do with your snidey remarks) then go ahead, have fun. Small things amuse empty minds.

MawBroonsback Thu 23-May-19 22:51:06

I wouldn’t hold your breath rosecarmel -the Scots (and the Broons) don’t suffer fools gladly.

Day6 Thu 23-May-19 23:12:40

I have a bit of a problem with this picturing people malarkey.

For a start I don't see any of us as 'old'. So many posters are witty, funny well read, kind, capable, wise etc and I can only imagine lots of lively women I'd probably enjoy chatting and laughing with over a cuppa.

Going on the news and politics threads more often than anywhere else I suppose (fool that I am) I have a picture in my head of some of the Grans I may be at loggerheads with. grin They are all very strident, upright and slightly imperious. I expect they are all doctor's receptionists - or leaders of WI groups, circa 1950, or failing that, storm troopers. grin

I jest.

Me? I am a dead ringer for a young Sophia Loren. Not.

MawBroonsback Thu 23-May-19 23:25:40

BTW, does your iPad/computer/phone not have what we call “full stops”, and you I imagine “periods” rosecarmel ?

mcem Thu 23-May-19 23:27:57

I don't castigate others.
On GN I have encountered only one poster who is unfailingly unsympathetic, greedy, snobbish and self-important. Who claims a position of superiority along with the right to correct grammar and spelling mistakes despite the fact that she frequently makes those same mistakes.
These are traits I wholeheartedly dislike and am well aware that I am not alone in that.
(I'd also dispute the use of the term "non-narcissistic" in this context.).
I have outlined certain characteristics I dislike, while I tend not to dislike people.
However, if the cap fits............
