Our term to define was solipsistic introjection. Solipsistic introjection is your perception of what someone else looks like, sounds like, acts like based on the information you have received from them.
For instance, as we graphically designed in our definition, a male is sitting behind his computer, chatting on the website Omegle talking to a complete stranger. Without seeing her picture or hearing her voice, he is making calculations in his head (possibly without even realizing it) of who the person is on the other end of the conversation. He may envision that he is talking to a young, thin, attractive, high-pitched speaking blonde when in reality, she (or he!) may be none of those things.
