Made it to the local news! Could you tell me how I look?

I've always wondered what people think of me if they saw me just getting on with my day. The local newspaper did exactly that, now could you MNs tell me what would you think of me? I'm the one on the phone.

I would think that you are younger and a lot cooler than me, zjushing off to uni or a cool job in advertising or the like!

I would think you have a fab outfit and you are the sort of person that wouldn’t talk to me. Trendy!

How’s that for a whole load of assumptions? You look fab OP

PawPatrolMakesMeDrink · 06/08/2020 10:11

Honestly? You just look like an an average person in the street. I wouldn’t have any assumptions about you.

Crankley · 06/08/2020 10:17

You look like a woman walking down the road looking at her mobile phone.

Fressia123 · 06/08/2020 10:19

What about my build? Looking average is good enough for me TBH although I do work I. Music publishing @AGirlHasNoShame

How on earth would you get all that?!

You look entirely average honestly OP, good for committing a crime I’d say.

EarringsandLipstick · 06/08/2020 10:24

@Fressia123 you're just one person in a crowd; saying this gently, no-one is going to notice you.

I'm sure if I saw you properly, in person, I'd think all kinds of good things about you.

But this is honestly an odd question.

Tadpolesandfroglets · 06/08/2020 10:26

I can’t even see you properly! How to tell? Confused

NetballHoop · 06/08/2020 10:26

I'm worried that you're getting wet. Others have their umbrellas up.

TimeTruthandHearts · 06/08/2020 10:26

Until I put my glasses on, I thought you were a fella packing Blush

But now I see its just a shadow!

Hellofromcornwall · 06/08/2020 10:27

Love Truro

dontgobaconmyheart · 06/08/2020 10:28

Slightly strange thread OP. These posts where people put their photos up essentially wanting to know if they're attractive/look younger than they are/whether they look slim always worry me a bit. I can't see what positives there are to be had out of it. People pander online as much as real life in efforts to be encouraging and do a good deed, or not look rude- it isn't as though it's a more reliable way to get honesty. Equally a lot of people online and on MN seem to get a kick out of being blunt in a way I'm sure they aren't in 'real' life or nobody would bother speaking to them.

I really wouldn't think anything of the photo, you just look like any normal build normally dressed person out and about. I'd keep an eye on that posture when using the phone perhaps though. I'm sure we're all going to end up in a bad way looking down at them so often.

I thought this too Grin
Hellofromcornwall · 06/08/2020 10:30

And I think you look alright @Fressia123 Smile your jeans look very River Island but I don’t know why.

Was it on Cornwall Live? Surprised they aren’t reporting overcrowding in Truro 😆

TwentyViginti · 06/08/2020 10:30

I really like that photo. Rain, a lot of colours, and nice looking street. I enjoy snapshots and paintings of busy towns/cities.

Fressia123 · 06/08/2020 10:30

I get your point @dontgobaconmyheart but at the same time all of those photos are usually posed, this one isn't which to me makes it more interesting. I also get the posture thing.

jillandhersprite · 06/08/2020 10:31

From that shot at that distance I wouldn't think anything. Nothing stands out to be odd and it's not close enough to notice detail like your skin, your hair, style and crispness of clothes. Plus as a static shot you don't see how you move or hold yourself...

Hiccupiscal · 06/08/2020 10:31

Trendy... but nothing stands out about you I would notice. Just another face in the crowd.
(All meant in the nicest possible way)

Fressia123 · 06/08/2020 10:33

@Hellofromcornwall that's what the article was about lol. The jeans are roxy

titchy · 06/08/2020 10:34

I'd think absolutely nothing from the photo. Nada. Not interesting. Dull. Street scene. However I have far too many thoughts on the sort of person who then posts said photo on SM and asks the world: 'what do you think of me...' Wink

Hellofromcornwall · 06/08/2020 10:36

@Fressia123 oh my days are you joking?? They’re such imbeciles!! I hate Cornwall Live. Always trying to get people to fall out.

At the moment it’s all Cornish vs tourists. So embarrassing!!

LoopyLlama · 06/08/2020 10:41

You look quite young but a normal average type ofperson. You woukdnt stand out to me for any negative

BarefootHippieChick · 06/08/2020 10:43

I'm more interested in the couple at the front with the pushchair, she looks grumpy as fuck and he looks like he's wishing he'd remembered his raincoat.

SouthernFashionista · 06/08/2020 10:43
Hmm
MoreListeningLessChatting · 06/08/2020 10:46

I'm too busy to wonder too much about other people.

I assume you are the woman (wearing jeans? I don't think anyone else is on phone) walking down the street looking at her phone.

I would think if she walked towards me/us I probably have to jump out of your way with my children since you might not see anyone else since looking at phone. Otherwise, no I wouldn't particularly take anything from the photo.

Fressia123 · 06/08/2020 10:49

Lol @BarefootHippieChick I can confirm they're both men.
