Small-Scale Question Sunday for June 9, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I tend to assume internet strangers asking romantic advice will never be above average in looks, no matter how much cosmetics, gym time, fashion upgrading, etc.

The Motte is, of course, peopled entirely by beautiful sophisticates with impeccable taste.

Not to hijack, but, with apologies to all the aphantasia folks, I am always visualizing, and have clearish mental images of most Mottizens (probably inaccurate, spooky if they were accurate.)

Tag the motteizeans with beards, let’s see how accurate you are.

Full beards or scruffy Hollywood shadow meant to drive the women wild?

Full beards, goatees, moustaches, etc, but none of that scruff. Something a teenaged boy can’t grow.

I imagine @2rafa has one of those long full beards and the flappy Orthodox side locks. How close am I? I keed!

Since you mentioned beards, I'll tag you, @hydroacetylene. Also you're probably not as blonde as you used to be, North of 30, big boned, some kind of engineer maybe, not unaccustomed to physical labor when necessary. You live in a suburb of Dallas, which is hot as a motherfuck, although you're not native (I would guess New Orleans originally.) You never mention your wife so probably not married or maybe just very discreet, upstanding Catholic dude that you are. Speak passable Spanish and French, maybe some German, maybe some Dutch. All of the above could be wrong. I do this to everybody btw. It's a bad habit.

Close, very close, but not quite there.

At least about me; I suppose it’s possible that 2rafa has a hormone disorder, but not what I’d expect.

I actually envision her as a petite, long-haired 20 something who types on a laptop wearing those bluelight reduction glasses, wearing print t shirts of Vassar or wherever that she would never wear in public.

I don't blame you for remaining vague. But it's clever misdirection if I was spot on and you just want to remain mysterious.

Edit: I was right about your beard though yes?
