Avatar Is Of You?

I've experienced over the years on other forums that by posting my real pic it attracted too many scammers for whatever reason....posting a seasonal avatar solved that problem once and for all :)

Also wondering if avatars of famous figures are allowed here....will have to look up the rules again :)

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?

No thanks

I already have that vision

I think it’s nice to put a face to the name, the avatar photos I’ve used have all been taken within the last 18 months but, after a recent upset on another site, I’ve decided not to anymore
 

A friend had her picture copied from a forum and used in an advertising
campaign for something unsavoury, I can't remember exactly what was
advertised, but I do remember how upset she was.

Yes you can, RadishRose for example uses Joanna Lumley .. and others have used Celebrities too...
 
What's goin' on with your hair in your new avatar Ken ?.....kinda looks like you stuck your finger in a wall socket or just peed on a electric fence.

I don't have a pic of myself and don't know how to upload any pictures anyways
I asked Matrix,he found perfect avatar for my screen name,since I love movies,going to see them Sue
 
I like to know what the people I'm interacting with look like, so I always appreciate a pic of them as their avatar.

I've had the experience of meeting up with someone on a dating site (in a public place of course!) and not recognizing him because his real life face was so completely different than the one he posted in his profile. While I was more focused on the kind of person he was than what he looked like, it still felt at the least disingenuous and at the worst just outright dishonest, which gave an insight into his personality heretofore unrevealed in the many conversations we'd had before we met. Too, he was about 100 pounds heavier than his profile photo as well as it being about 15 years out of date. No wonder I didn't recognize hi! He recognized me instantly though, because my photo was current and very representative of the way I looked.

I think it very much depends on what site you're on as to how representative..or not..you want your avatar pic to be. On a dating forum I think it's important that it be current. Here? Like I said, I like to see the real you, but it doesn't actually make any difference to the way I'm going to interact with you. :) Because *I* like to see *you,* I try and do unto others by posting a current picture of myself for you to look at. :)

Actually, I think you're a good looking guy in a rugged way. Your looks remind me of Ernest Hemingway and your writing style of Walt Whitman. And you're self deprecating lots of times, which I find charming and makes you sound honest and down to earth.

Well hot damn, if I had known I could have had my very own sugar daddy, I might have done things a bit differently!

Thanks for the compliment Gary!

Just a side note about my pics. My avatar pic is from May of 2017 and the other pic I posted of me in a suit and tie in the taproom thread is from Dec 2011. The reason I used an older pic was that's all I had.
