Be honest - would you be put off by a female ‘Colin Hunt’?

When I was 12 and just started high school I developed a ‘Colin Hunt’ - think ‘not 3 bad’ ,

“im mad me” and comedy Disney tie!

well I wasn’t literally wearing a comedy Disney tie especially at school etc but I was wearing one in a figurative sense iyswim.

I developed this persona to compensate for being introverted and having low self esteem in primary school.

I was very very unpopular- I was a fat, spotty female Colin Hunt!

So I just want to know - what would you honestly think of this type of character? What would you think projecting this kind of persona would say about a person in a broader sense ?

I am trying to visualise - do you mean a young Su Pollard type?
