Eh, just a small still-photo (of many woofers!), cropped, converted to black-&-white in a basic photo program, then messed around with the exposure settings.Originally Posted by jayme357
Was just curious/bored, having some fun, and being a bit creative.
Actually not even much of a fan of the original (which is why I messed with it a bit).
Regardless? Thanks a bunch!
But remember: It's just a still-pic.
*Sooooo* many more things involved when attempting to pass, in-person.
Back in my hey-day? I'd say with some confidence that I passed a few times -- with men, that is.
But with a GG? No way, never. They've got the Spidey senses, don'tcha know!
The best one can hope for with them, as a CD'er, anyway, is to get the non-verbal "I'm no dummy... But, great job, hon!" Official Nod of GG Approval. You'll know it when you get it. Good stuff.
Anyway...
The way I see it?
"Blending" is simply not being noticed on a conscious level. They may catch a glimpse from the corner of their eye, or whatever, but don't really give it a second thought.
"Passing," on the other hand, *is* being noticed -- and more important, they think you're a legit GG.
Of course, that's only at a cursory level. Because this can definitely ramp up exponentially from there... For example, someone studying your every move for whatever reason -- or even actually holding a conversation or sharing a moment with you! :confused2:
Ladies, read again what Cheryl T wrote.
Please don't go down that "passing" rabbit-hole -- not worth it, trust me.
Settle for blending, instead... And much better yet, simply "belonging & being accepted." Can't go wrong with that!
