Tall? Blonde? Borg implants? Are you Seven of Nine?

That’s all right. You tell good stories. You’re entertaining and we feel like we know you.

It doesn’t matter to me how you look. All of you on the board are faceless anyway. What matters is what you say and that is always interesting.

Most of us know you through your posts.  
What, in your opening paragraph, makes you less beautiful?

We don’t care either. The beauty within you shines through like a beacon in the night.

The world is a much better place with you here.

I agree. Who here tells ALL? Isn’t that why we’re all kind of anonymous? You have no need to fret!

So, you’re telling us that you don’t really look like the cap of a beer bottle?  
The horror! The horror!

When it comes to appearances, I am not in a position to cast stones.  
(Which doesn’t necessarily stop me. But I am aware that I shouldn’t.)

Since we are being anonymous. I should let you know that I was a stunt double for Paul Newman and Robert Redford. They are shorter than me but we made it work.

Truth is at 62 yo, I’m starting to look like Deputy Dog. Gravity is a harsh mistress.

But the good thing is at 62, I don’t care. That’s a wonderful bonus about getting older. Doesn’t matter and certainly doesn’t define me. All we can do is our best.

Yeah, but you’re loved, and that eclipses pretty much everything else under the sun. You’ve always been one my favorite Dopers!! 💓

All I’ve ever wanted was love, to be loved, to love. I has the love to give.  
I’m overwhelmed by it some days.

In this world of images, beautiful faces. Celebrities with over the top looks it’s hard to navigate.

Luckily I live in dump-truck Arkansas.  
It could always be worse.

I don’t care what you post here, thanks to the anonymity of the internet and your profile picture, I think you look like this…

Yeah, I know, the OTHER German beer.

Besides, we are not some superficial rabble of social media users chasing “likes” - this is the SDMB, where we value content and character above all else - this is why you are such a good fit here. 🙂

On the Dope, hot or not, we are all reduced to pixelated words on a screen. We are valued for the content of our brains (or not.) I think that’s one reason I find this place so compelling as opposed to Facebook or other social media. There’s no curated image to be generated here. We’re just here to talk.

It sounds like your accident really did a number on your self-esteem. I can understand why. And I’m not saying you’re wrong about people staring at you, but there have been studies in which people were made to believe they had a distracting prosthetic scar on their face, even though they didn’t, and the participants interpreted all kinds of negative social attention due to their scars, even though in reality they appeared perfectly normal.

I’m glad you finally found the ability to share and talk about this. You matter.

Sorry, Beck, I’m here for your stories. I’m not always caught up, and it’s always a treasure to get more stories.

At some point, most of us learn to concentrate on the inside, because that’s real.
