Hubbers Don't Be Shy Show Us Your Real Pic
Ok, here it is.
I think it was Bud Light, basically it was the cheapest
We're in college we gotta party cheap. I'm not a big drinker though, I enjoyed dancing and watching everyone in their falling off Togas.

Tell you how to do post pictures here?
Do you REALLY think I'm that stupid
Hmmm I think I have an idea who you are mystery hubber
well at least your other hubber account
Thanks Tony
I am glad we share a passion as our Hubworld too.I would say, well said lady. When it comes to 'ladies', people normally cannot associate beauty with brains; if they see you are pretty they will only come visit you for you pic, swarm your inbox with obnoxious emails of undying love, and never read what you write. On the other hand if you are not 'too good to look' that might actually be a plus point! So, considering the general mindset, I too would agree with you - I am WAY TOO MUCH happy with my half-me-half-dark-side avatar
.Not to turn this post into a big "social statement" thing, but it isn't even just the "beauty/brains thing". It's all kinds of things for women. Women have to often be "just the right level of professional looking", which often means not having a "softer" face, not having a girlish look, not having a "softer" hair-do, not looking "too casual", not looking "too old", not looking "too heavy" or "too delicate and fragile", and generally (often) not looking "too-any-number-of-things" for one reason or another. Some women who have "just the right level of professional looking", or at least a look that doesn't mean they aren't taken seriously, may not know how bad it can be. There are so many stereotypes, and there's so much tendency for people to expect women to fit stereotypical images; an awful lot of women can struggle with being taken seriously. On top of that, who any one individual takes more seriously can be different, and there's no way for one woman to fit all the stereotypes in order to be taken seriously by, at least, most people. (Which is why is I see my Earth picture as a good idea.
)
Whether someone looks like, say, Betty White, Sally Field, Doris Roberts, Audrey Hepburn, Valerie Bertinelli, or Jessica Simpson - there's a really good chance they'll be people who won't take them seriously.You've noticed that the fine hair can be a problem too, eh? I've made my share of people regret not taking me seriously too; but since I don't work in a generally adversarial environment (like the court system), that degree of "letting someone have it" can come across as "impolite", to say the least.
If I resort to a sufficient degree of "letting someone have it" that's going to be the end of the relationship.My daughter is very blonde, very good looking, and very smart.
She sometimes lets people think that she is dumb.
I'm sure you've played that game many times as well
(Yes, and you too, BP)
Cheers, Eric G.There is actually no connection with looks and intelligence.
No not at all I do as well.
I'm actually a fraggle.

I do think people will generally take someone seriously based on whether the writing seems to call for it; and, for me, when I'm at a company, working; and people know me and my work, I'm generally always taken seriously. Still, for my whole life I've pretty much had to struggle with "half the world" thinking I'm "a little girl" (even when - in their head - they have to know I'm not, especially now that I'm way, way, beyond by twenties; and at this point certainly have some signs of aging). On the one hand, maybe I benefit because people think I'm so "fragile" I'll cry for any number of reasons
. On the other hand, it's horrible because I'm not "some little flower". I've known several other women who have a similar problem. It can get so bad it's just sickening and absurd.
To be honest, I'd like to stick my photo on here and "show the world that someone who looks like I do thinks the way my writing indicates I think" (with logic, reason, and even a sense of humor); but I've pretty much learned that the minute my face and words show up at the same time, any number of problems can arise (at least if the words don't fit the image, which they usually don't). I hope you can see that I see the humor in it, but it's really, really, bad. Nobody who doesn't have to deal with it would have any idea how horrendously bad it get. (I can't even think of any actresses or politicians who have the problem to the degree people like I have it. You know why? Job discrimination!
This is me, with Isaac, about a year ago.
Below, t'is also me, and my other half
Way cute.
So intimately tied together...A beautiful couple!

I don't need a room to give a special man a great tribute that he deserves. He has inspired so many lives here and wanted everyone to share in it.
It looks as if he thinks you deserve a similar tribute - which is very nice, and I'm guessing, well deserved too. Not being from England, and instead being from New England, our idea of a compliment is, "Jim? He's ok." I think it's either a matter of living in the high-speed, high-tech, belt; or else having our roots with the Puritans. In any case, nice to see that you both enjoy a special friendship.
Hahah. Thanks heaps LG.
Back of your head, an arm, a leg, an ear, a cheek, another cheek, various wobbly bits - that's about half I should think
Sounds like a shopping list for Hannibal Lecter!
I reckon you could photoshop something like that up in no time :-)
And sorry, I'm not walking on any planks. I'm afraid of heights.
Wow. Unbelievable. What a revelation. Are you SURE that this is true ??Yup you look pretty good and I think you are intelligent as well
Then look at Robert Frost or Sai Baba- so handsome and such intelligence.Looks can be deceiving.
I don't think that Blondepoet would fit into a 2x2 photo.
- I should have stayed anonymously away from this thread; but - as always (knocks self in the head) - I felt the need to call attention to the "plight" of women who struggle to be taken seriously.
Actually, after thinking about the picture thing, I can see how it could, in a way, be kind of liberating (and friendlier seeming) to show one's own face. Maybe if I ever have a "good hair day" I'll take my chances with a real picture (or maybe I could really surprise people and show up with a hat, a clown wig, a nose-and-glasses, and fake beard). - \Brenda Scullyposted 14 years ago0

I understand--that's why I preferred not to show my self. Years of having assumptions made based on what you look like makes a writer want to remain anonymous. Like for my writing first, please--then I'll show my face without hesitation
I agree with you. Even in office if one dresses too feminine then few folks don't tend to take them seriously. And in online forums like this it really doesn't matter when all we(at least most of us) are here for writing. I would say if this is a online dating site then having an appropriate picture, profile (location, age and all) becomes mandatory. But otherwise it is left up to the individual whatever he deems fit to portray. I know some folks like to put a face to the person they are interacting but on general writing places like this one should be used to all kinds of folks (with there own reasons for having there own picture or not).
PS: My picture is of an Indian Actress of whom I vaguely resembleCompletely agree, but I have to be careful what I say to a married woman
Thanks LG for making me feel better already
PS: Sufi you can say anything to your sister
Now I have the image of Greek God Adonis for Sufi (Which I can't get rid of?). Although I am sure many men wouldn't consider that a "problem".
Alas - it is something that I have to live with. Could be worse - some of the statues I have seen have had it broken off. Brings tears to the eyes just thinking about it
Too right - it is a curse. Every time I leave my house, I have to fight through hordes of hysterical admiring women. Still, we all have our crosses to bear.
CW - Adonis is nothing in comparison. The Gods truly cursed me when they gave me ravishing looks. HonestSo true: One man's bread is another man's poison (don't worry your alter ego of British queen may help to ward of some women)
LOL - Only at the weekends
Thanks Jamie (I need all the good vibes coming my way)
I always thought that pic of you Sufidreamer was you I am shattered.
My missus is wondering why I am sitting here blushing
I like this thread, BP - compliments from two pretty girls in one night.
Very good for the ego
I must visit more often.
