Do you pre-judge new folks here?

WG840,

When there is no evidence at all, I think that I assume about like you do. Any hint probably gets overreacted to.

Call me biased, but I think that that is normal (since I do it).

I also frequently remind myself that I don't know.

Just curious.

Naw...

Not usually..
Maybe every once in a while..

Some might appear as..

As for myself.. I'm sure I vary.. Probably
depends what time of day it is..
If it's real early in the morning I might look
like this..

Then later on at night when I'm all tuckered
out I probably look like this..

So no... I really don't care how many posts
someone has.. I don't have too many myself..
The first thing I notice is whether one is a
horses *** or not.. If not, no problems..
If so... Then I visualize this..

Generally, I give everyone the benefit of a doubt until someone calls me "dude"...or "bro" I hate it when someone calls me "Bro" especially when it is some young gansta in an orange jumpsuit that can't understand why the DA is making suck a big deal since it was only 6 rocks-and the guy he sold it to shoulda said up front that he was under cover "5-0"-cause that makes it entrapment.

I like that guy from arkansas in the secound to last picture.
What do you have in a room with 32 guys all from arkansas?



Answer: A full set of teeth!

 

[Firehouse]

What is that? It has a mustache.

That item above sitting in the 17 ft travel trailer? If you dont know, I dont want to look!

Well before I retired the people who worked for me occasionally called me Festus. They claimed that I resembled him somewhat. I don't think so even though I have had a beard for 38 years. See avatar

I think this post belongs in the Jack, Jim and Evan thread.

I met Festus one day at the Kansas City Fat Stock
show many a moon ago.
He was a hoot. I hear he was nothing like that in
real life though.
Kinda like Minnie Pearl was nothing like Minnie
in real life...

Won't it be great if her her name were Dixie...

It is very hard sometimes to know who a person really is based on how they present themselves in their posts. I get surprised a lot when people post pictures of themselves.

WG840

Is this how you picture me?

Or like this?

the second one.

Really, I look like this:

 

[Wheelgunner840]

I think that I am not being real clear in my question.

I am not saying that my first impression is a negative one, just that I always picture a new member as being young. I was wondering also if all y'all conjure up a picture in your mind of what a person might look like when you have never met that person, and have only a few posts to go by.

Kinda hard to explain what I am talking about. I'll get back to you later when I have had a few drinks!

Can't slip nothing past you!

 

[animalmother]

No. We were all new at some point.

 

[badam0112]

Sometimes I visualize this.

Others like this

And sometimes I leave thinking this.

Yeah, I am a heavy day dreamer and visualise a lot what somebody I never met looks like on just a few facts. Oddly, I never am far off, if we ever meet! I have always been a people watcher. Even did it for a liveing! I am entertained just sitting on the bench at walmart studying people while the wife shops.
I like to look at old people and figure how they used to look, and at young ones and visualise how they are going to look.
I try to figure out their occupations, or many times what they done to go to prision.
Here, I like watching the poligamists too.
