ORIGINAL: tazzygirl And, in the case of my ex, the photos were staged. Gotta love the assumptions running rampant based upon a single photograph. But, there are enough armchair psychologists who seem to know the inner workings of a mind they have never met. You do bring up a good point, Tazzy. There is that books shouldn't be judged by their covers idea, and it has some validity, of course. Who knows...perhaps he's not really a slob. Perhaps he's just testing your slob snobbery by playing one on tv. I'm not going to put my money on the likeliness such snapshots are part of such a grandiose and paranoid psyche exercise, however, and I doubt others would too—which only serves to question the wisdom of such a test in the first place. The same can be said of sloppy writing when sending a message to a prospective Master or Mistress for the first time. In the end we do judge photographs, voices, words and other such artifacts of a person presented online. They may not always be accurate, but we are ultimately responsible for how we choose to represent ourselves, and users are justified in questioning the logic behind those choices.
