I dont know if something is wrong with me, but I have never been able to recognise anyone on the internet in real life. confused

Is it easier to recognise women more than men?cool

From the ones that I've met in person, I would say not at all.

what's the point of asking or answering such questions?
I think IF CS charged some money for posting polls, the quality would increase..

Hello Lonely 1,

Let me tell you that it is more easier to know men than women.Because the men dont do make up.But however Women do different make up.Therefore the women can be seen different than the picture which you see them at.

If you ask my opinion , I can remember a person if he or she just same at the photo which I saw.Unless nobody can remember.And it is nearly impossible to know if the person different than the photo which you saw...

I may have seen one of the other NH posters at a gas station but even if I'd been sure I would have not risked letting them know my secret identity.

Don't worry dear, I would not have been able to recognise you either. It is not easy to recognise someone with no eyes and nose. Of course that is your choice.bouquet

Anyway, by your post I think you recognise them about 25-50%, which means they may have been the wrong person. I myself am sometimes sure I know who the person online is, but I would never chance to go up to them and say anything.

In conclusion, most people who show their face online will usually not be recognised in person if we saw them on the street, because we would have to be 100% sure before saying it is actually them.

At least you know that they are looking/single. I dont think they would be offended if you went up and said "Hi, I saw your pic on CS. You are gorgeous."cool
