Oh lots and I've heard most of them to my face. Looks like he lives in a cave, under a bridge or in a swamp and probably eats children or collects tolls, because obviously I'm either a troll or an ogre. I've literally been called a monster to my face but then was told that I've got a great personality. In high school a kid in my class asked if I could speak or if I just grunt and growl, others laughed at that. I've been asked what horror movie I was from. That's to name a few.

So basically I'm assigned some very negative personality traits just by my face alone, as much as people say "it's about confidence or a good personality", it's really not. Its about looks 100%, it's always less than average looking guys to just the ugliest guys (like me) who get told it's about confidence. Good looking guys never get told it's about confidence because they don't need it, I worked with a guy who told me if he wasn't as good looking as he was, he probably wouldn't ever get a date because he has no confidence in walking up to females but as good looking as he was he didn't need to because females were always flirting with him, he would get 5 to 10 phone numbers a shift, without doing much of anything. The one time I asked a girl for her phone number and only for work purposes she thought I was doing it for a personal gain and I ended up not wanting her number in the end.

Well one morning at like 3 AM I walked into a Walgreens to grab a few things. There were like 5 MMA professional fighters/trainers drunk and arguing about fighting and being really loud and rowdy in the store. When I walked in it just seemed like they were having a good time with the guys. I went up to the register to pay like "how’s it going” and the clerk nervously ask, are those your friends? He was crapping his pants thinking they might get violent and he was hoping I was their leader so I could calm them down and get them out of the store. All he had to go on was my looks and my deep voice. So that’s what one person thought of me. He asked me if I thought he should call the cops, I was like "Nah, they're just having fun, relax..."

I’d wear some shit like this. But i would never disrespect 3 brand by wearing them together like this. Its either all Nike, all Jordan, all Adidas, all Abercrombie, all Ralph Lauren, all Tommy Hilfiger, etc. I put no effort into my appearance at least 360 days a year. I just give no fcks. Never stopped me from gettin play nor makin bank

Every negative personality trait you can, to someone who is unattractive and fat; basically your Homer Simpson moveset:

- Smoker (tobacco)
- Stoner/pothead/loser (marijuana)
- Extremely stupid/dumb
- Glutton who spends every day at McDonalds and KFC
- Extremely unhealthy lifestyle (like fried donuts and drinking bacon grease)
- Into sports, especially BS like basketball and football
- Morally dubious but not a criminal (gambling, pirating, bootlegging, etc)
- Gassy
- Lazy
- An excuse maker to get out of doing work
- Sex obsessed/has an OnlyFans/a simp
- Works some sh*tty worthless job for lazy people (like parking lot attendant, mall cop in a chair in front of the entrance, or something at the airport)

And so on. Not a single one of these is true, except the last one, which I used to work years ago, as a security guard, but I wasn't too lazy about it.

I think they would peg a few basics down. I’m geeky. I got glasses, I usually wear some nerdy clothes, print shirts with some science fiction fantasy reference or cartoon reference. I LOOK like a nerd or geek more than I used to (that’s saying something).

They would probably assume more scientific intelligence or interest than I feel I have.

If they picked up on detail, I’m left handed, probably a writer or artist (signature smudgy hand most times). This is usually based on where name tags go (as well as the sometimes inky hands). But people are not usually that detail oriented.

Maybe they’d guess type B personality. I seem pretty calm. I’m playful. I think they’d figure that out pretty quickly.

That’s my guess, anyway.

Interesting how a lot of the traits people mention are negative.

Serious, observant (both true); more conservative/innocent than I actually am, and difficult to guess my age, depending on what I'm wearing/how I style myself.

Basic white girl lol… or maybe people assume I’m goth, I don't know. I usually cover up my tattoos in public and wear a mask which hides my piercings, so I look pretty boring with that all hidden. But I also only wear black.

All the wrong ones... believe me. I'm quiet so I try to go outside of my comfort zone so I'm not mistaken for being snobbish. I've been told my size makes me intimidating but I'm soft like cookie dough.
