Ok, this is a long leap 7 years into the future, and this is not at all what I pictured! I only found out your age about six months ago and was just telling someone that, before that, I had always envisioned you as a late middle-aged man wearing long:sleeved, button-down sweaters and tweed pants, smoking a pipe, and teaching dead languages. Dark, clean-shaven, glasses. There was another thread describing members' own ethnicities, and you asked if anyone wanted to guess yours! No one would! There's clearly an interesting story there too lol.

If you were 6'5"" at 15, how tall are you now??!!

The short answer is "too tall!" :p

I am 6'8 atm, or 2.032 meters for our rest of the world friends.

Well, I'm a pretty open book, so anyone who knows me should have the age and gender down pat. But what do you think I look like?;)

You're not allowed, TinoPup!

Wow, you are just skimming under doorframes without having to duck! Have to say I always loved tall men but have never even met one of your height!o_O

I've managed to root out the photograph I alluded to above of Thylo taken in 2016 :p

 
Oh, my, I have never used this phrase, but your face must be in the dictionary beside the definition of a "face mothers would love"! You could be a Botticelli Cherub, well, were it not for your height! It's funny, because I always envisioned you always having a disgruntled expression, and this couldn't be more the opposite.

I've always pictured you with a man bun, but with hair just touching the shoulder, worn down, it would be pretty awesome with a beret! I love walrus mustaches, but they only seem to work on very heavy-set men, as a thin man would be overwhelmed by it to look at. Now, I imagine it's always overwhelming to eat with one of those!

My hair is waist-length, but I wear it in a plait and would never wear it in a man-bun. My beard is chest-length and I rarely plait it.

Below is a more recent photo of me than the one earlier in the thread. This one was taken in Burma in 2014, as I entered a long-abandoned temple.

No one? You may be surprised. I'm 5' 7" and relatively thin, relative really only to younger days when I was very, very thin. I'm often wearing heels so appear a good bit taller. I have bright green eyes that occasionally evoke my parents and suddenly turn blue. The surprise may be that I'm very often compared to Rogue for the huge white streak in my thick, straight below-shoulder:-length chestnut-ish hair.. When I wear shortish sleeveless dresses in the summer, which is always, I have about 33" of long visible orthopedic and joint-replacement scars visible that I wear like a badge of honor. People who seem distressed by them amuse me. At the beginning of a semester, I have to point them all out and provide a kind of tour explaining each one, or students would stare all semester and never hear a thing I say. I have another 12" or so that aren't visible.;)

PS. I speak of it on here so freely that I forgot to add that I'm 58.

Are you sure the scars aren't from being vivisected to find the source of your mutant powers? :P

To be quite honest I actually imagine you as a shorter and younger version of Thylo :p as you remind me a little of what he was like when he first joined the site.

If this is what Mr. Thylo looks like then I'm afraid people will have to keep guessing because beyond skin color, I do not fit this form.
