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

Pittcity, I was laughing to myself , that it came across as a backhanded compliment and I was trying to be nice grin.
I won't describe how I thought you looked, as I would be digging myself into an even deeper hole!?

It is indeed difficult to put a "tone" into the written word.

Big hugs Marydoll xx

I am, of course, tall slim and devastatingly attractive! When I go out I have to hide in shops or I am beating them off with sticks (oh sorry - that's the debt collectors!)

I have developed a very clever disguise as a short, overweight 70 year old woman

This thread is hilarious in parts, a most amusing read. Some members seem to aspire to 'a modest and retiring personality' as being the ideal. This is their choice but they must bear in mind some of us also aspire to have a 'confident and opinionated' one. I know which I find the most interesting people. I have worked all my life to achieve a high level of confidence which sadly to say still eludes me and lack of confidence has led me down many a wrong path leading to disasterous life choices. If only........ So yes I admire people with Chutzpah and to say outright they do not like women who are catty and gossip and for the said type of people to then come out and be catty and gossip and prove her point is downright hilarious grin grin grin GN refects real life, a mixed bag of people smile And for GabriellaG54 to state she is not very good looking and blow the theory out of the water that it is only the 'Beautiful' people who are entitled to wear the 'Self Confident' badge just adds to her strength. cupcake To me the most useful qualities to get on in life are kindness, determination and self confidence. If you have those you can do ANYTHING.

What an interesting thread and peoples descriptions of themselves are often way off how I pictured them!

Daddima Mon 27-May-19 12:26:13

Didn’t the original poster ask if we pictured other posters? Most of the replies are describing themselves, rather than others.

paddyann Mon 27-May-19 13:13:27

I try not to picture people ,I had an awful let down years ago.We had a client who I dealt with by phone an donly the drivers ever saw him.He had the most amazing voice ,so when he said he would pick his prints up all the women in the studio were keen to see if his looks were even half as good as his voice .Sadly the man who sounded like a cross between"Anton Meyer" in Holby and Sean Connery turned out to be a wee fat baldy guy with acne ...lol.What a letdown

Beckett ?

Daddima yes, that’s true, but actually it might be better if we were not to speculate about the looks of GN posters as it could lead to some unpleasant comments.
Better to keep things light and amusing.

Well as I started the thread I am a short arse 5/1 inch and 8 stone.

I had great arms until Dec last year when I saw cellulite one morning which is very annoying! I fake tan them so they look better. Fake tan covers so many flaws. grin

I was told I have anatomically perfect clavicles by a doctor! I mean I ask you if only it was perfect legs. grin

Blond not by nature and green eyes.

You all sound bloody amazing and I so agree with the confidence comments.

lemongrove Mon 27-May-19 23:15:16

Just as I pictured you Mycat including the perfect clavicles
?

lemongrove Mon 27-May-19 23:25:46

I am 5ft something, used to be blond by nature and now by
Hairdresser, am 60 something, have neat hands and feet ( it’s the rest that isn’t so good)? and I will get back to you about my clavicles after my next GP appointment.
I love fake tan for arms too, and tbh for legs.
I have greeny blue eyes and fair skin.
I seem to end up wearing shades of blue so have challenged
myself to stop buying that colour.I laugh a lot ( explains the crows feet.)

That was sarcasm writ large and you are correct.
I say what I mean and vice versa and not afraid to set out my stall besides which, I like talking and the men I've met liked listening and reading the letters I write...proper letters on nice paper in tissue-lined envelopes.
It surprised me that quite a number of men like women who can have interesting conversation about a wide variety of interests and are somewhat quirky in their outlook...not needy and clingy and I'm very forgiving too.
I'm not fussed about forgotten birthdays or receiving flowers or forgotten phone calls as they, to me, are unimportant things.
I was an interesting, undemanding, confident date...with no benefits.

I have to say the cartoon GabriellaG54 posted is much as I imagined her - perhaps not quite so down in the mouth but certainly very 'no nonsense' grin

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 08:29:09

Lemongrove

grin what about you? I see you as tallish, slim, athletic looking dark, blue eyes, good cook as you have fruit in you name grin sporty and very sociable??? And maybe a practical joker? grin

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 08:30:46

OMG!! Sorry just seem the rest of your post

Oh we sound similar!! How funny wink

Elvive Tue 28-May-19 09:06:12

Women can be so catty and gossipy which I find unappealing

I look like shit. I am a size 18, wear leggings and a top from Bon Marche. I drink pints and smoke. Oh and my hair is greasy and plastered to my head.

BradfordLass72 Tue 28-May-19 09:26:48

All you need (or want) to know about me.

lemongrove Tue 28-May-19 09:42:56

You look like a very sociable sort BFDL if you lived nearer we could have a good chat, you also radiate confidence.smile

MyCat
Well, you got two things right....I’m a good cook and sociable, but as for the rest! grin

lemongrove Tue 28-May-19 09:44:29

Elvive.........this is supposed to be a light and enjoyable thread, why spoil it with your heavy sarcasm?

MawBroonsback Tue 28-May-19 09:53:44

Rosecarmel -Flintstone? ?

Buffybee Tue 28-May-19 10:05:37

You look just as I've imagined you, from your occasional descriptions, BradfordLass.
Lovely face.
A straight talking, down to earth Yorkshire Lass!
I'm from over't Hill, ? Lancashire Lass.
