avatars to use for your profile pics

[Aunt Marg]

Aunt marge..no-one is upset about anyone's avatar people can post what they like ..a simple question was asked as to why people want to post a picture of another person as their avatar , why pretend to be someone else? .. it just seems strange ...

Well, we can't have that, and I for surely do not want to be labeled as "strange", so until I find an appropriate alternative, I'll go without.

I appreciate you bringing this to light, Holly.

Oh for goodness sake...it was a simple question..why do people want to use the face of someone else as their avatar?... it required a simple answer..

I've had the same one since I got here. I'm too lazy to change it.

Yes use more cats instead.

Or cartoons.

 

[Judycat]

Anyone can use whatever avatar they want. I'm comfortable using the incorrigible cat knowing full well I don't look like that, yet still somehow, it is the real me.

Yep. I don't care to have my own face staring back at me from posts I make, so I prefer whimsy. Plus I'm usually "dishin' it out."

Avatars are fine but I prefer to select my own.

My avatar has meaning for me and is the only one I've ever used on the internet.

If I wanted to use the face of another person it would be Shelley Winters as Nana Mary on Roseanne.

I get to know people by their avatar and hate to see them change.

 

[MarciKS]

don't worry about it. not posting anymore avatars.

 

[PopsnTuff]

Nice pics Marci but I dont think most of em would fit in the profile pic frame on this site, just sayin......

 

[Liberty]

Whew...so glad that's not an issue for moi!

 

[MarciKS]

like i said...it doesn't matter anymore. u all got your way.

 

[HazyDavey]

.. no worries here.

I change my avatar so often, I don't even remember all the objects, flowers, animals, people and cartoons I've posted as my avatar.

I have put my own picture on here, and that's the one I like the least! .... I don't care to look at myself when I'm on the forum.
If I forget what I look like, I can always look in the mirror.

I like to change my avatar every once in awhile and frankly I get bored was seeing some people have the same Avatar all the time but that's my personal opinion no offense.

I don't like to post my own picture because like someone else said I don't like to look at myself when I'm around the forum. But I have posted my picture few times and that's how I found out I don't like to look at it.

There was a time when I was going to post an avatar of David Bowie though but then I decided not to.

 

[hellomimi]

I never understand why people use faces of other people as their avatars...seriously, I don't... ! No need for anyone to use their own face if they don't want to of course , but why use a total strangers face ?..I'm genuinely perplexed

I concur but to each his/her own. I used a recent selfie for a short time but decided to revert to my original one.

I'm with you, Holly. I am me, take it or leave it.

What you see is what you get.

Lol! Most people don’t like looking at themselves all the time but some people do. To each their own. They’re not hurting anyone but I’m with you. I’ve added my real photo a couple of times but get tired of seeing myself.

 

[Lewkat]

I don’t think people who have a personal diary expect everyone to agree with them either. I’ve got a food transitioning in diary stuff mainly to let others know that I wasn’t trying to educate or persuade anyone to change

I'd get tired of myself as well if all I did was stare at my avatar. I frankly don't even pay that much attention to it.

Unfortunately I couldn’t help but see myself every time I posted something. lol. It wasn’t out of wanting to see myself. Then again I don’t take a lot of pictures of myself to have that many to choose from. Your avatar I have to blow up in order for me to see since I’m on an iPhone. Like I said though, to each their own. People are allowed to post whatever and whomever they want in their avatar and it’s none of anyone’s business.

What made you change your mind on a David Bowie, avatar, Ruth?
