Many people change some aspect of themselves in their fantasies—their looks, personality, and so on. Here's why.
. However, I found that different people change themselves in very different ways and that the types of changes people make seem to say something important about them. However, they also say something about our culture.
While most of us appear in our own fantasies, most of us see at least a somewhat different version of ourselves than exists in reality. A majority reported having changed their body type or shape, their genital appearance, their personality, and/or their sexual role . Nearly half also reported having changed their age, becoming either a younger or older version of the self. For specific numbers, see the figure below.
For example, self-identified women were more likely to change their bodies than were self-identified men. However, gay and bisexual men were more likely than heterosexual men to change their bodies. When it came to age, men across the board were more likely to fantasize about themselves at a younger age, while women were more likely to fantasize about a future version of themselves. One of the most sizable differences I saw was that a majority of heterosexual men had fantasized about being young again, while only about one-third of heterosexual women said the same.
