What Does That User Look Like?

You look at a lineup of 10 computer generated images, pick the one that most probably looks most like 8th of 7 (Or some other HBer)
  (+3, -1)
(+3, -1)
  [vote for,
against]

Then there's 10 more starting with the one you last picked, pick from that lineup the one that looks more like who you're imagining, then again, and again.

After about 5 or 6 rounds, that's the image of that person you had in your head without even knowing it.

We could all post who we think the others look like but there'd probably be some hurt feelings. I'd just make everybody beautiful to keep the peace.

This obviously could be used for other imagined visages as well, might be some kind of experiment in perception you could do with it.

This guy says he can't get a date. https://nypost.com/...-as-a-doppelganger/

See what this site says you look like. https://www.starbyface.com/
From a picture of me in my teens it said I looked like Meg Ryan or Charlize Theron. (24% match) I'm a guy. Thanks for calling me a girl Starbyface. Made up for it by saying I current look like somebody much better looking than me so guess it evens out. [doctorremulac3, Oct 04 2023]

Famous "Pitts". https://en.wikipedi...wiki/Pitt_(surname)
There have to be a few Brad Pitts out there who aren't THE Brad Pitt. I'd be curious to see the typical day of the most unattractive of the Brad Pitts. Basically how many times he gets called ugly in a week. [doctorremulac3, Oct 07 2023]

       I already know that 8th looked like roadkill dressed up as an SS commander. I’m sure I have a pic somewhere. I definitely have a pic of max disguised as a vicar posting a large brown envelope addressed to the Nobel prize committee.

       lol!

       I purposefully tried not to ever picture any halfbaker in my head. The one's I have met were then a pleasant surprise rather than some other emotion I didn't need to experience.   

       I have not down-voted a posting in a very long time. That fishbone's not mine.   

       You're all beautiful... in an ambiguous cerebral sort of way, that I don't have appropriate words for, in a Schrodinger kind of scenario.   

       <shrugs>   

       I doubt I'm alone.   

       Some of you could be from other planets as far as I know. Why would I want to picture you?
The body we inhabit is meh. Luck of the draw.
  

       //in an ambiguous cerebral sort of way// - I misread that as "ambiguous cereal" and thought you might be referring to muesli, which was confusing as I don't know anyone who looks a lot like muesli

       Having met a few both irl and in Zoom and FB, they're twice as mysterious as before.

       I don’t think about it much. I can’t even remember what I’m supposed to look like. “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of that other thing.”

       // I can’t even remember what I’m supposed to look like //   

       People have told me I look like Dustin Hoffman. I really don't see it myself, except maybe in some of his roles. Watch the movie "Stranger Than Fiction" - his character may look only a little bit like me, but his speech and mannerisms are dead on.   

       Or I could have just made that up.

       Ra1n man.   

       Definitely.

       I look like Brad Pit.
Voice, Oct 04 2023
  

       Just occurred to me, Brad is a reasonably common name, there are probably a lot of last named Pits out there.   

       So what if you were named Brad by your parents Joe and Caren Pit before the other Brad got famous?   

       How do you use a dating site? #stupidthingstoworryabout
doctorremulac3, Oct 04 2023
  

       See what the algorithm says you look like. I got called a girl from a pic of me in my teens. See if it messes with you too.
doctorremulac3, Oct 04 2023
  

       But you are a girl aren't you?   

       I knew a man who had the same name as an attractive film star. His partner got more ribbing than he did.   

       I also knew of a man called Donald Duck. The family tradition was to give the firstborn son the same name as the father and so yes the young lad was also called Donald.   

       I suppose it's good when you're applying for a job and they try to look you up online to see what inappropriate or embarrassing things you have done. Better then to be called Kevin Bacon than to be called Athelred Crighton-Montague.

       //But you are a girl aren't you?//   

       Well if I am I’m a lesbian with one hell of a clitoris.
doctorremulac3, Oct 04 2023
  

       Jackson Rathbone or Lee Evans.
RayfordSteele, Oct 05 2023
  

       How about an algorithm that generates an image of you based on your ideas history? Wait, that's probably already happening with all the recent "AI" tools in use.
normzone, Oct 05 2023
  

       //what if you were named Brad by your parents Joe and Caren Pit before the other Brad got famous? // I don't know anyone famous named Brad Pit. You're thinking of Pitt.
Voice, Oct 06 2023
  

       Starbyface sez I look like Adam Sandler or Prince Charles. What a ripoff. Someone should tell them.
minoradjustments, Oct 06 2023
  

       //You're thinking of Pitt//   

       The Elder or the Younger? Or perhaps the great Victoria Midwinter Pitt?
pertinax, Oct 06 2023
  

       I get Charlize Theron a lot, but I don't really see it.
tatterdemalion, Oct 09 2023
  

       That site sucks. I tried twice with two separate pics and both times it said I look Like David Cross.
I look nothing like that dude... and I never blue myself.
  

       Someone should try uploading a picture of David Cross and see if it says he looks like [2_Fries].
a1, Oct 10 2023
  

       So... a website for celebrities to see what ordinary folks they look like?   

       He would not find me a match.   

       Here's what it returns for me:
