I Should Have Been James Bond

Published on September 30, 2006 By MasonM In Blogging

I guess I just have one of those extremely average faces. All of my life I have been told how I look like so and so, someone's cousin or someone's friend or whatever. If I were keeping a list of all of the people I have been told that I resemble or am the "spitting image" of it would contain hundreds of names.

One forum I post at, a shaving forum, has a thread that is basically a "post your pic" type thing. I did. Someone told me I should be a spy because I have one of those faces that I look like several people they have worked with and a description of me would be useless to anyone trying to track me down.

It must be true because I've heard this stuff all of my life.

When I look in the mirror I just see me. To me I don't resemble anyone else at all. But maybe that's the point. I have one of those really ordinary looking faces. Nothing special or noteable.

Maybe that's why I have an easy time making acquaintences in bars and truckstops. Perhaps that's why I was always good at customer relations and sales. I have one of those very mundane faces that reminds people of someone they know and like? I always thought it was my personality and superior people skills, but maybe it was just my ordinary face.

Could be. I can live with that.

Well, if I ever do anything to warrant a wanted poster it should make things interesting anyway. All of those hundreds of people I supposedly look like will be getting hauled into jail

I have a distinct face...so, I'm no good as one of the "average" folk. And I could really use a shave...it's been about a month....

You should commit one crime just to test that theory.

I am the same way. People always think they used to work with me, went to high school with me etc. Maybe I could be like Sydney Bristow on Alias.

Not to ignore the rest of the post, but am I the only one curious about the shaving forum? What's that all about, MM?

But I would shy away from Zoo's suggestion! besides, all the women seem to love your face.

It's exactly what it sounds like. A forum about shaving, razors, blades, creams, etc... It's a wet shaving forum (old fashioned brush, water, and cream/soap).
