Avatar Is Of You?

Wonder why it is that there are those that will use an old photo of themselves as an Avatar, instead of a current one? Because we all looked better years ago? Just wondering.

Sort of like where someone does an online profile for a dating website and puts on a photo of themselves that is some 10, 20 or even 30 years old. The profile doesn't match the photo and men or women will wonder........"what the heck?"

Then there are those of us that don't have a picture of ourselves as an Avatar, like myself.
 

Possibly because it’s THEIR avatar and THEIR pictures to do what THEY want and NONE of anyone else’s business.

Why do you always make posts and threads comparing yourself to others ?
And why do you always try and make yourself sound and look better than others even though you aren’t?
 
Who cares...that avatar is ME...it's not a photo of me when I was young either ... I was in my late 50's when it was taken.. and I'm only in my early 60's now. Not everyone wants a photo identifying themselves on a public forum , for many reasons... everyone's prerogative to post whatever picture they like or not... some choose celebrities, some choose art, some nothing at all...
 
And some of us don't use photos of ourselves because we have been unable to upload them! My photos all seem to be too big, and I don't really feel like bothering to downsize. Anyway, I like my seasonal avatars, the sun in summertime and the cute little penguin in winter.

It could be that it's a favorite picture of themselves and the one they want to share with people.

Same with a dating site although that may be considered false advertising if the picture is many years younger.

I bet if you had an avatar of yourself you would look like a classic rocker.

LOL...no he doesn't.... sorry Cody for giving your secrets away.. :playful:
 
I don't like to use my own (current) photo because I like my privacy, in person and on the internet. We get a choice here and choices are GREAT! What is YOUR reason for not having your pic as an avatar, you didn't say?
 
With me it is a safety precaution.
If I happen to upset the wrong person I don't want to be tracked down over the net because then my family members might be targeted because of my activities. I keep a low profile on Facebook and Twitter as well as other forums that I frequent.

Sorry, but (LOL) I am better! Anyway, I’m just have a curiosity thing about me.
Don’t take my Thread SO personally!!
 
Well, golly folks, I was just asking! Geeesh!
I don’t use a photo of me, because I don’t want anyone to see just how GOOD LOOKING I am at 69 years old. Wow, love that!!

Understand???? 🤠

I understand and appreciate that

OK, serious…for just a minute;
I post my mug as my avatar

Why?

1) I could care less about personal security

2) I’ve scared wimin and small children most my adult life
(folks have actually stopped talking and have said, ‘don’t be angry’…when I’m just listening intently)

3) I don’t think I’m a good looking guy…..but…in the latter years of this life, I try real hard to come across as a likable person…and if so….I’m good with that

The beard covers scars I don't wish to even see myself

Alright, I'm done bein' serious

I'm not allowed to post my picture because I am on the Witness protection program !LOL Honestly I am a private and .I only occasionally put in a picture of myself.
 
Sorry, but the only photo of me that I’d do as an Avitar would be me in my Darth Vader costume with my Vader helmet on.

Want that?
