Like the title says, what are people's first impression of you.

I'll start. Most people when they first see me think I'm going to be a gym douche, dick, mean, or just ready to fight

Reality is I'm a nerdy, dorky guy that likes to joke around and just happens to also like to lift weights.
I can understand why I get the first impression though cause I have a horrible resting B facenj7bdyebzrec.jpg

    Apparently people find me intimidating...not sure why. My dad got the same reaction and we're really not intimidating at all

    I'm not really sure what kind of first impression someone would have of me. I am a bit shy if it's in person, so they might think that I'm quiet.

    I’m glad we get to know the inner you

    I have it on good and recent authority that I'm intimidating AF. This from my 17 year old daughter on behalf of her friends.

    So I scare young women, that's the takeaway. Half a step from pedophile. :|

    In real life I am quietly pervered

    I am so annoyed I mistyped perverted and I've missed my window to correct myself

    Pervered is like revered in pervert society.

    It's not just them. Like most of the people I meet at work have this opinion: dead serious, can't get a read on him except that he gives nothing away. Then they hang with me for a few hours and it's 180* the opposite: super laid back and chill, completely transparent and open.

    Which also can be a useful set of traits as a serial killer, I admit.

    I can handle being a revered perv

    Also, congratulations. You made me laugh again.

    So is revered perv a fancy way of saying ruler of all pervs? 🤔 It should come with a crown and a suggestive scepter

    Depends what costume I put on. I have one that leaves absolutely no impression at all. I call it the invisible middle-aged white woman costume.

    I’ve been told I’m intimidating and look superficial. Snobby, bitchy. But I’m actually completely opposite. I don’t like drama and I just like to have a good time. If there’s drama I exit myself from the situation almost immediately. I’m a grown *kitten* woman I don’t have time for that. I like everyone until they give me a valid reason not too. I’m extremely empathetic and pick up on other’s energies very easily. And just the reality of the situation is I’m just a kid at heart. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    You took the words out of my mouth. Although, I'm not a kid at heart, I'm an old soul who wants to be in bed by 8.

    I've been told I come across as not intimidating at all; weak, perhaps spineless, with just a *sneeze* of lime

    I have no idea. But I think it’s amazing that people know what others’ first impressions are of them. Interesting that you’ve been told.

    I have no idea what people's first impression of me is, I don't really care. I do get weird looks at times because I'm covered in tattoos.

    As to what kind of person I am? I'm shy if I don't know you, I match energies. Once I'm comfortable with someone I open up easily.

    I also forgot to add that even at 41 years old, if I go somewhere with my mother and there's a opportunity to make a dirty joke, she tells me before to not say a word😅

    I can't speak for everyone, but it's come up in conversation with a few people I became friends with.

    My mother used to be so forthright and a little bit bawdy and I think I need to remind her. It’s for her own good
