You look a whole lot different than your pic

Ever go to a seminar and see a speaker that you've followed on Twitter or have seen in the forums only to be shocked that they look nothing like their picture?

I'm not talking about Avatars of smoking monkeys or something, I mean a real picture of them, but when they were thin or young or both. I guess that's one way to be sure never to get bugged in public

  • I do not!

    And, why am I getting this feeling of deja vu, like I've read this thread before?

    • Me too! It's deja vu all over again.

  • I think I look the same but I'm a couple years older now and I might just not want to admit that you could tell. My caricature definitely makes me look a few years younger. lol

    So, what sparked this thread? No examples??

    Cheers

  • My picture is 1 year old - my old picture is about 7 years old.

    I have lost weight (15 lbs) and look much better now without the stress of a job outside my home.

    However my pictures continue to be the ugliest possible pictures - I have 100 all in different poses and one is worse than the other. I used the least bad I can find.

    The camera hates me, the lighting hates me, the wind even hates me.

    So I can honestly say if someone sees me in person I will look much better than my pictures.

    ... but yeh - I think it is disingenuous to have a decades old picture to represent yourself - I don't think they do it because their groupies would hound them. I think they do it because they know they looked better when they were younger (didn't we all).

    Pretending to be young brain-cell wise is also probably best for business, however I have gotten a hell of a lot smarter now that I grew up so don't understand the reasoning there.

    I am quite sure you look just like that gorgeous Marine in your avatar, hahaha?
