That's happened to me as well

I've been referred to as 'he' several times.

Well thanks! I was pleasantly surprised that it turned out that well seeing as how I don't ever use sun flare. Someone told me I looked smug though, which kind of makes me sad because...that's just....my face...

lol

You look smug because you're thinking, "I'm nailing the hell out of this and making sun flare my little bit(h." So don't feel bad, it couldn't be helped, really.

"manly mannerisms" :mrgreen:

I've been accused of this in the past even by people who know me in real life. Not of 'mannerisms' but...I like cars, I watch football and hockey, I hate weddings and showers and I don't fawn over brides or children, I argue like a man, and I also drink like a man (sweet fruit cocktails are lame! Give me a whiskey straight up, please), I am not afraid of snakes or mice.

On the other hand, I do like a lot of chick flicks (not super sappy ones, though), I scream when I see a bug, I cry at ASPCA commercials, I love to cook and knit, and I can always find the jar of mustard in the fridge when a man can't

You sound pretty cool in my book. Just be you.

I love weddings, but only because there is a reception to follow! Oh, and cute girls in nice dresses is always a plus.

For the record, anyone who doesn't cry at pictures of big, watery (sometimes one) eyed, sad looking puppies while Sarah McLachlan is playing in the background has no soul.

Really don't like taking photos of myself for two reasons. One, because the idea of the 'selfie' drives me insane. If I get one more Snapchat of a girl with bangs over one eye, staring up at her stupid phone with unrealistically pursed lips while she stands awkwardly in a bathroom, I might throw my phone under a septa bus. The other is because I wouldn't consider myself photogenic. But I figure with actual camera equipment and the non-bathroom/mirror environment, I believe it no longer qualifies as a 'selfie' and like most people here, I like knowing who I'm talking to so it's only fair I do the same.

When I'm in a picture, I take one of two roads. The awkward and silly guy or the pissed off, 'I might punch you in the face for taking this picture' guy. Guess which one I chose here...
