What is your default human like?
I realized the other day that although I am female, when I hear something like "Someone was in the house" with no more cues, I automatically think of a man. A white man around my age, to be more specific. I am wondering if other people have a default "someone" in their minds and if it is their own sex, gender, age... etc.

What is your default human like?

1. I've never given it any thought.
I guess since my mother (retired) lives with me, and knocks about the house at all hours, I just assume it is her.

:shrug:

I don't have a default human!

No images come into my mind when I say your phrase to myself....

Weird, huh?

Oh, well...

3. Always a woman
Milky white complexion , with straight hair , blacker than the blackest tar, with hazel green eyes and an oval face with elvish ears . Very mischievous yet harmless .

Maybe in another lifetime.

4. Hmph, I do too
White guy about ten years old than me.

Unless it's in a criminal context. Then I think of a slim young man in baggy dark clothing with a hood.

5. A pissed off punky teenager.
Who plays loud music and throws things.
