If everybody looked the same, how would you make yourself stand out?

Question

Let's say all the men look like one person, and all the women look like one person... How would you, among all the clones out there, make yourself different?

Answer 1

Act differently. Since everyone would look the same, they'd all have the same mindset---act like everybody else since we all look the same.

Answer 2

I would have my unique facial expressions and body language.i.e the way I walk , talk, etc.

Even if we looked the same,Each person would still have a unique personality and that makes us able to differentiate (sp?) each other. That's why ppl are able to tell between identical twins if they know them well enough. this is Because they each have special a character and personality.

so i think that even if we looked the same each person would still be uniqe! ;)

Answer 3

I would assume that we would revert to other methods of finding differences.  You say that everyone would look the same.  I would guess, then, that differences would be more apparent in the timber of our voices - - - which would be a very nice way to stand out.

Also, given human nature to use clothing, I'm certain that clothing would be a certain method of standing out.  Or simply communicating who the heck is who!

Other artificial methods of standing out in a crowd of lookalikes would be to use perfumes or to specialize in certain talents so that you would be useful and therefore in demand.

High-tech answers to this question might come in the form of flashing lights worn by community members.  I thought this answer was way out-there until I looked at a three-year-old's shoes!  A simple method of color, rhythm, and number of flashes could be devised to tell one another apart.

To really stand out, I'd just have to use some people-skills.  If I'm the leader, and everyone looks to me for answers, then everyone is looking at me!!  Yeah for attention!

Answer 4

The act of recognizing a face is actually quite complex, even now we basically all look the same 2 eyes 1 nose 1 mouth, there is a specialized section of our brain used to tell one another apart. People who have dementia or have had brain damage from an accident and damaged that part of their brain have trouble recognizing people. If we were all idetntical, our brain would adjust and find ways to tell each other apart, like parents of twins can tell their children apart.

Answer 5

that would suck...but anyways...i'd probably change my hair..tan or do something to make my self look diff...dress differently maybe.

Answer 6

Stand up, let yourself be seen, and show the world what your made of!  Appearance is irrelevant if you truly want to make your mark in life.

Answer 7

I prefer to stay the same. The odd one out is always the one gets taken or destroyed or killed, don't you think so? Being one among the many of the same look, it is a good camouflage esp when enemies or predators are around.

Answer 8

I would get plastic surgery, and tattoos, I would dye my hair. But then I wouldn't look normal so would people think I was ugly?

Answer 9

surely by the way you dress?

Answer 10

i'd walk around with my fly open.
