One of the most common social media abbreviations you’ll come across while texting is “WYLL” which means “What You Look Like.” As the meaning implies, anyone who sends you a “WYLL” text wants to know what you look like and the obvious response should be a picture of yourself. But don’t do that, at least not until you’ve read this piece on my top suggestions for funny replies to “WYLL.”
It is not every time you do what’s expected. Let me add some humor to your social media interactions. Shall we?
Gollum from the Lord of the Rings
‘Gollum from the Lord of the Rings’ is a funny way to reply to someone who texts you “WYLL.” If the person hasn’t seen Gollum, you can tell them to use a Google search. Your response mustn’t be Gollum though. You can use any maniacal, ugly movie character like Lillith, Jabba the Hutt, or Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean.
I’d Have To Look In The Mirror To Be Sure
You can also use a response like ‘I’d have to look in the mirror to be sure’ when responding to a person’s inquiry about what you look like. It is like saying you’ve forgotten what you look like and would need to recall by looking in the mirror.
- I can’t remember anymore, let me look in the mirror.
- Give me a moment to remember, would you?
You May Need To See For Yourself
Another playful way you can answer a “WYLL” inquiry is to say “You may need to see for yourself.” Depending on your interest in the person, you could use this line to flirt with the person. Your delivery would determine how the person sees your answer. For other ideas, see the following:
- The only way you can know is if you come to see for yourself.
- You wouldn’t be able to tell.
Like Someone Who’s Going To Leave You On Read For The Next 48 Hours
This is what someone told my friend one time when he asked a lady he just added on Snapchat what she looked like. Unfortunately for him, she meant what she said. If you want, you can use this response just to get them talking and if they play their cards well, you may just realize that they are worth keeping.
I Don’t Have A Physical Form
‘I don’t have a physical form’ is spooky but who says there can’t be fun in spookiness? Use this response when you are trying to show some weirdness and get your new friend feeling awkward about the conversation.
- Don’t tell anyone, but I really do not have a physical form.
- To know what I look like, you’ll need to wait until the full moon.
It Is Hard To Say Because My Face Takes Different Forms Depending On My Mood
I know that this response will resonate with the ladies more. Telling a new guy that your look depends on the mood you are in is a good way to respond to their “WYLL” message. If they probe further, you can outline some funny things that make your face change.
- My face depends on whether I am hungry or full.
- I am a shapeshifter depending on my mood.
A Patterned Night Sky
Want to sound funny but poetic, you can reply to “WYLL” with a message like “A patterned night sky.” If you have freckles on your face, this is an absolute recommendation. When they ask you what you mean by that, you can go ahead to share a picture of your beautiful, freckled face.
I Don’t Know. Probably Like An 18-Year-Old
You can also act like you don’t know what they mean and use this response to answer them. Acting ignorant but letting them have an idea of how young you are or how old you might be. This response can also come in handy when the person is asking you what you look like because of something you both discussed.
Is That Some Sort Of Military Code Name? What Does It Stand For?
Asking them if “WYLL” is a military code name is another hilarious response you can adopt. They are going to be thrown aback by what they may deem your ignorance and if they take it too far, you can call them to order before notifying them of your decision to send them your picture or not. To play safe, you may follow your question with a ‘LOL’ or laughing emojis.
- Why are we using military code names? Lol.
- I don’t belong to the military and I have no idea what this abbreviation means. 😂😂
The Last Person Who Saw Me Turned into a Pillar of Chocolate
Drawing inspiration from the Biblical account of Lot’s wife turning into a pillar of salt for trying to look back, you can issue a warning to the person who’s asking you “WYLL” by saying “The last person who saw me turned into a pillar of chocolate.” There are other ways you can phrase your response. Let’s look at some of them:
- I must warn you. The last person who saw me went dumb instantly.
- Do you want to go blind?
Someone That’ll Block You Pretty Soon
I’d have said you should use this response like this when replying to “WYLL” but the individual asking may not see the joke in it. To play safe since you are only trying to be amusing, you should add a laughing emoji to your message.
- If you must know, I look like someone who’s about to lose your number if you continue pestering me. Hahaha.
- What do I look like? One of the girls that have blocked you on socials. Lol.
Snapchat Lets Y’all Forget How To Spell Cause What Is WYLL?
This is another funny way to respond to “WYLL.” There’s no arguing that trying to abbreviate everything makes spelling a problem at times. So, when someone asks you “WYLL,” your response could be:
- Lol. It is funny how y’all become so comfortable with abbreviations you forget how to spell.
- 😂😂 I bet you can’t spell your name the way you are always abbreviating.
Dead Gorgeous. Someone Your Girlfriend Wishes You Never Met
Yes. You can pique their interest by saying “I am someone your girlfriend prays every night that you never meet. Sadly, here you are. 😂😂” This response is both funny and flirty and a lot of times it is going to get guys. So, you better not use it when you are not willing to go down that route.
You Are A Speedster, Yeah? Cause How Did We Get To What I Look Like?
This response can be used to acknowledge that you both are going too fast and should take your feet off the gas. There are times when you meet someone and because of how fast both of you are going, they are already asking to know what you look like. That’s where a response like this comes in handy.
- You must be the Flash. How did we get here? Lol.
- Hold your horses, mister. That was too fast. 😂😂
Show Me What You Look Like First. If You Are Good Enough, You Might Get Your Chance To See What I Look Like
Another good-humored and witty reply to “WYLL” would be to ask them to show you what they look like first. The idea is that if they look good enough, they stand a chance to see what you also look like. If they agree to the deal, you can further crack them up by saying, “You look good but didn’t quite hit the average. So, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow.😂😂”
Your Worst Nightmare
I love this response so much especially because there are a lot of emojis that can go with it. You talk about being funny and spooky, this is just the response to use. Interestingly, they would want to see what this worst nightmare looks like and if you are texting at ungodly hours of the night, you can navigate into more bizarre conversations.
The Demon That Steals Your Socks Just To Piss You Off. Wanna See What It Looks Like?
Everyone knows the demon that steals their socks but has no idea what it looks like. You can use this to respond to a “WYLL” text. If they say they want to see what the demon looks like, instead of sharing a picture of yourself, ask them to look under their beds or inside their wardrobes.
So You Can Unfriend Me? Nah.
This is one response to “WYLL” that every guy should try at least once. When a girl tells you to show her what you look like, you can pretend like you are projecting your insecurity by saying “I can’t risk showing you what I look like so I don’t get blocked.” She’s going to find you funny and urge you to send your picture.
I Guess This Is Where I Write A 450-word Essay Explaining What I Look Like, Right?
Nobody expects you to explain what you look like when they ask you “WYLL.” They just want to see a picture of you. This is why replying with “I guess this is where I write a 450-word essay explaining what I look like, right?” would be funny and unexpected. Check out other responses to use:
- Where do I begin in narrating what I look like?
- It all began some 20-something years ago.
I Have To Be Sure You Aren’t A Hitman Trying To Confirm Your Target
When someone you just met asks you what you look like, you can play the I-need-to-be-sure-you-weren’t-sent-after-me card. You can be like “Why exactly?” then proceed to say “So you can call the people who sent you that you’ve found the target. Not happening.” This is an absolute try if you want to crack the questioner up and share a laugh if they decide to play along.
- I don’t know whether you were hired to take me out. You never can tell.
- Am I a target? Were you sent to kill me? What secret organization do you belong to? 😂😂
Before You Go
There’s no need to have boring conversations. Even if the person you are texting is boring, nothing prevents you from being “the life of the interaction.” I believe these funny replies to “WYLL” will make sure that you add excitement and fun to your social media conversations when you want to.
