It's like everyone here has a kid

the age spread of this site is surprising

The appeal of keyboards transcends age categories.

I don't. I have an orangutan.

Lol! Who's ginger? You or the mum ?

Neither! My Mum and two sisters were originally ginger but grown out. Same with her sister.

like i said, nothing wrong with mature young people here, I wish i had cool **** like this when i was 12 years younger, coolest stuff i had was inherited stuff like a flatbed scanner (oh my!), a 400Mhz iMac (so powerful!), and an old nikon 35mm camera and b&w trix film so i could develop in my bathroom (so hipster!).

I remember when our family got its first color TV.

I also remember the first car we got with seat belts.
Cognitive distortions are patterns of thought, typically automatic and unconscious, that cause an inaccurate, negative view of situations, people, and/or events. These include things like jumping to conclusions; black-and-white thinking; negative mental filtering; overgeneralizing; mindreading (incorrectly believing we know what others are thinking, what their motives are); and emotional reasoning (believing that if we are feeling something, or if what we are thinking is associated with a strong emotion, it must be true).

If you look closely at that girl on the bike, which I did at first 'chest area"

she is not an avid exerciser at all.. You see that her shoulders/waist/legs are quite plump for the average cyclist, she also has alot of makeup covering up unsmooth facial tone, the "bumps" are probably cystic acne... only in people who overload on refined carbohydrates..

People wear what they wanna wear. The world would be a **** place if everybody dressed like the average Joe.

Agreed. No point in asking people to post a picture if themselves, then be all like "I can not believe what he is wearing". I mean, this is not the sex and the city forum is it? Besides, there are people on this forum from all over the world and with different backgrounds. Chances are we are going to differ in how we look and what we wear. Thank god for that.

I will go with this picture, since the way I dress will for sure draw some anti-hipster fire

I think many people on a keyboard forum "actually look like this"

so. that's not nice.. but... the guy in the picture isn't actually ugly, he's just got some health issues.

His facial shape and proportions aren't terrible


here is what "I" look like

I am also an avid cyclist. You should see me in my cycling kit if you want to see something really silly. I just enjoy all kinds of sports and will try anything once. Don't really worry or think too much about what I need to wear to do them.

But to be honest, I would march around in a top hat and cape if it was socially acceptable.

Kinda funny how I tried to avoid any negative comments by not putting a picture up of me in my normal clothes, yet it somehow backfired.
