What professions would you assume some flutherites have from their profile pictures?

Asked by Pandora (32210points) April 17th, 2013

This is merely for fun. I just finished making a statement about @Etpro profile picture. He always looked like a author or boat captain to me.

Please this is simply for fun, so don’t be offensive to anyone, and don’t put down what their profession is if you know it.

If you can’t say anything nice, than don’t say it, unless you know it just to be too extremely funny in an innocent way. Like a rich butterfly collector and you know it doesn’t match their personality.

I just want to perform a little experiment to see if most people jump to the same idea about a person because of their picture.
To be fair, I even will post my picture for today only.

I’m thinking that @Mama_Cakes ^^^ is a window cleaner. You just can’t quite see the squeegee there.

Mama_Cakes's avatar

Ding, ding, ding! Correct. ;)

thorninmud's avatar

I knew it!

thorninmud's avatar

And yes, I am a prick.

Pandora's avatar

Sorry, I’m having problems sizing the photo to pick out. I’m not that skilled in these type of things.

:(

Take your time.

Pandora's avatar

There I go. Sorry, it’s a bit grainy. All my pictures were too large to download and so I had to crop this one and change it to a gif to make it acceptable. This one is about a year old. I did have a more recent one with my hair short but I tend to take lots of photos with my eyes close when I laugh or smile.

Mama_Cakes's avatar

A mystery writer. :)

janbb's avatar

Here I am. Now – what am I?

(But shouldn’t this be in Meta?)

Mama_Cakes's avatar

An adorable penguin loving Jerseyite.

KNOWITALL's avatar

Loe seeing all the pretty faces ladies!!! I don’t guess professions though, I can’t tell much by a face only.

Pandora's avatar

@janbb A romantic english novelist who lives in a country cottage. :)
@Mama_Cakes Professional window dresser.
@KNOWITALL High schooler studying design.
@Dutchess_III If you are on the left, a country singer, on the right, Episcopalian Female Priest.

janbb's avatar

@Pandora From your mouth to G-d’s ears!

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Pandora Now I love you. A 40 year old with no kids (thus no wrinkles) – lol, work at a huge radio station group for 10+ years.

I was going to say @janbb looks like a psychiatrist.

Mama_Cakes's avatar

@janbb At first, I thought that you had your head resting on a conga drum. :)

Pandora's avatar

@KNOWITALL It must be small town living. LOL, You really do look like you could still be in school. I had to look at your photo again.. Do you get carded at bars?

Pandora's avatar

@janbb Ha, I was close. Just read your profile. LOL

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Pandora Eh, not really, small town everybody knows me. That summer day last year I had almost no make-up on (as usual outside of work), and I think the bangs helped the ‘youthful’ look. When I have make-up on, and a business suit I look closer to my age. Thanks though.

janbb's avatar

@Pandora yes – very.

Pandora's avatar

@Dutchess_III Not yet.
@Mama_Cakes I wish but I do love mystery’s. They are my drug of choice. I’m much better at unraveling a mystery than I would be at making one.

Judi's avatar

Darn. I’m on my iPhone and can’t see the pictures well. I wish they got big when you clicked on them.

yankeetooter's avatar

I guess mine must be Master Onion Slicer…lol!

Pandora's avatar

@Judi Is one of the Wives of Atlanta.
Judi you are the girl right? I never remember who is what sex and names are never a sure bet about sex these days.
Oh, no hurry. Wait till you get home.

Mama_Cakes's avatar

I agree, Dutchess looks like a country singer.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Ya’ll crazy! I look like a Hooker in Church!

Mama_Cakes's avatar

@KNOWITALL Looks like a down-to-earth chick I’d like to hang out with.

Mama_Cakes's avatar

Bahahaha!!!

Mama_Cakes's avatar

@Dutchess_III Honestly, first impression from that picture? I thinner Dolly Parton. You have her smile.

Dutchess_III's avatar

LOLL! And not her original boobs, thank goodness! And DEFINITELY not her voice. O_o
O_o <before and after boobs.>

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Mama_Cakes With a booty like that, we could cause some trouble..lol

dxs's avatar

I’d say my profession is not very noteworthy.

Pandora's avatar

@Dutchess_III A hooker wouldn’t wear that much clothing, well unless she was meeting up with the minister afterwards. LOL

Pandora's avatar

@dxs, Oh we aren’t guessing what their real professions are. Just guessing. So far I am a mystery writer and a gramma. Neither I’m afraid. But it is amusing. They are two things I would love to be.

dxs's avatar

@Pandora It was a very lame pun in reference to my current profile picture.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I got it @dxs! :)

Well, I was in church. Didn’t meet the minister tho.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

<——I’m obviously a lawyer.

@dxs is a famous musician.
@Dutchess_III is a porn star.

filmfann's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate Is a meter maid.

@Dutchess_III is a concert promoter for Dolly Pardon

talljasperman's avatar

~Is unemployed a profession then that’s me.

Plucky's avatar

I’m obviously a cat person.

Pandora's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate is Frankenstein’s first experiment on his dead cat.
@filmfann is a genius 8 year old.
@talljasperman Is a barber
@Plucky Works as an animal trainer in a two bit circus. No elephants just dogs and cats doing acts.

nofurbelowsbatgirl's avatar

I am a geneologist. I just figured out I am Justin Biebers cousin twice removed on my mothers fathers side and that jesus is my real father, and fluther and many jellys are like my children but actually my fathers (Jesus/God) children, and that’s where it’s gets confusing..lol.

Just a few,

@Pandora you are related to the Osmonds!
@WillWorkForChocolate has a Belgium background.
@Plucky is related to Jane Goodall.
@KNOWITALL is related to Mother Teresa.

:)

DominicX's avatar

The problem is that the small avatars are so small that I often mistake them for pictures of things they are not. I always thought @nofurbelowsbatgirl had rainbow feathers, but now I see they’re flower petals :P

Does my picture scream phone-answering desk jockey? And no, it’s not my “profession”, just a part-time job. Hopefully it will someday indicate Professor of Linguistics :P

augustlan's avatar

Here I am. Of course, everyone already knows what I do, but I wanna’ play, too!

@Pandora You do look a little like an Osmond! I’m going to say you work in banking, though.

Berserker's avatar

@mazinger88 is, obviously, awesome. That’s his profession. Being awesome.

Ok there are just way too bloody many… lol. I shall stop now :P

augustlan's avatar

Based on @Plucky‘s adorable dog, she must be a fairy godmother or some other wonderful creature.

Pandora's avatar

@nofurbelowsbatgirl and @augustlan , What I wouldn’t give to have those teeth or money! LOL It’s been a long time since I’ve been an Osmond.
@Plucky, I so can see that looking at the photo I put up. I did want a more recent photo but in most of my recent photos, I either have sunglasses or you can’t see my eyes because I close my eyes a lot when I smile. (I’ve got to stop that someday) I do love all your guesses though.
@DominicX, :( I’m sorry you actually look too unrealistically sweet, so my mind automatically jumped to serial killer.
Without your picture, I always thought you had black hair and lived in one of those old fashioned moble home that look like a large tin can from the 50’s, and you lived out somewhere in the desert, listening to sounds from space during the night and went to school during the day. While living off of cold can food and beer.

@AshLeigh Unemployed song writer hippie, living in some strangers attic.
@augustlan Wizard
@augustlan, I actually did work as a banker once. :)

rooeytoo's avatar

I’m late but here I am!!!

The one that always befuddles me is @ragingloli, not so much her pic but the name. For the longest time I thought it was an Italian dinner of some sort!

Pandora's avatar

@rooeytoo Before your picture, I always thought, circus trainer or puppeteer, because of the name. Now, with your picure I see circus trainer may not be far off.

Plucky's avatar

Ooo @AshLeigh does look like an out of work hippy musician.
@rooeytoo An outback wildlife rescue um rescuer..uh person.

Pandora's avatar

I just replace my photo with a more recent one to test the Osmond theory

Judi's avatar

I’ve never even WATCHED real housewives. I need to post a pic in tie dyed or something. I’ve moved to Oregon. I’m back to my hippie roots.
@rooeytoo, I always said rangoli in my head for some reason when I saw @ragingloli. It wasn’t until last week that I figured it out.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Plucky Avon? hahahahaha, I don’t even like make-up. I’ve been in radio for over a decade.

AshLeigh's avatar

Gee, thanks guys! XD

Dutchess_III's avatar

A PORN STAR @WillWorkForChocolate??? O. M. G.
You just gonna have to take my word for it….I don’t sing! Actually, that picture was taken in church at the baptisim of my first grandson. o_O

@WillWorkForChocolate looks like a cat whose foot just got run over by a 12 ton lorry.

@Pandora Yes. Donny Osmond to be exact No…wait…I loved Donny Osmond, but he DOES have a sister. So yes, you look like an Osmond.

@KNOWITALL Looks like she’s peering out the door at a stranger, saying “I have a gun and I might know how to use it!”

Pandora's avatar

@Dutchess_III If you click on @AshLeigh photo you will see her profile picture is different from the one here.
Donny Osmond, uuhh, thanks, I think! I must be the relative they don’t speak about. LOL
Sorry if I make any grammer mistakes today. I’m all drugged up on antihistamines right now. The trees are killing me slowly.

DominicX's avatar

@Pandora ”:( I’m sorry you actually look too unrealistically sweet, so my mind automatically jumped to serial killer.”

Well, I choose to take that as a compliment. :)

As for living in the desert, that’ll always be the dream ;)

livelaughlove21's avatar

@DominicX‘s picture makes me think of a banker, but only because the picture in the avatar resembles a guy I work with at a bank.

I think I’m bad at this game…

dxs's avatar

I see @DominicX as a swimmer. It looks like a natatorium in the background.

Pandora's avatar

@dxs, That actually is a good one for him. I can see that as well. Swimmer by day and killer by night. LOL

Pandora's avatar

Ah, I see @WillWorkForChocolate has put up her actual photo. First thing that came to mind was realtor.
@livelaughlove21 Female, Diamond heiress, Guy, military officer or gardeners son. :)

livelaughlove21's avatar

@Pandora I wish I was a diamond heiress, or looked like one. :) A lot of people think my husband is military. I guess it’s the hair.
