For years I was the only guy around here willing to throw my face all over the forum. I realize that for some guys, it's just more of a preference to have a funny or a sexy avatar and it's not always about remaining anonymous, but I'm noticing a lot of the new forum users are starting to sport images of themselves. Awesome! It's not about accountability or honesty, but it's good to see a lot more dudes willing to put themselves out there like that. Good form! lol.

I like people to see who they're talking to. Anonymity isn't me.

Well,the truth is,I came here to get to know people,and to let people get to know me...Can't really do that (in my opinion)if I hide myself. Mind you that is my opinion of myself and not of anyone else here. I have yet to see anyone I couldn't get along with. And for me to be as comfortable as I am here is saying something....I'm not even this comfortable on Facebook or Twitter....

I just used a picture that was on my phone to be honest. And I saw that most people that I had seen talking used their picture so I did as well.

Good for you, man.

I'm not saying everybody is trying to rip off of me.
It wasn't my idea first.
I'm just trying to send out a little respect.

Again with the ol' addage: to each their own.
I'm just glad that I'm not only one of three who decide to be public.
That 'odd man out' thing kinda sucks.

i never understood the hang up about real avatars. its more fun to find a picture that defines you. yes, i could too photoshop something of personal interest, but i never found it that important. does anyone here really need to see a picture of me?

Come on man, get off the pipe...there have been plenty here before you..maybe not so vocal, but...you're certainly not the first! :shrug

I like you, in a "you're a guy on a forum i couldn't give a fuck about" kinda way. Amuse me, if i want to know what you look like, I'll check your profile gallery.

Damn, Jericho. Read the topic replies. I'm already a little uneasy about the way I titled this post because it does make it sound like I think I'm Mr. Originality. I know that isn't the case. I know you don't give a fuck. I know it doesn't matter either way and there's not a single damn thing anyone here could consider better about using a personal picture over any image.

I just didn't think through the topic title as well as I should have.
I admit that. Maybe I shouldn't have posted it to begin with and rather simply kept it to myself because I certainly didn't mean to ruffle your jimmies, sir.

Tatiana, I will mourn the previous avatar for a long time; it was undoubtebly one of the cutest butt ever! Gave me a sense that reality is at the very least sometimes much better than any fantasy. ;)

I realize that for some guys, it's just more of a preference to have a funny or a sexy avatar and it's not always about remaining anonymous, but I'm noticing a lot of the new forum users are starting to sport images of themselves.

I think it shows a person who is self assured about themselves,
which is attractive a character.
Also you avatar is quite cool and imaginative.
So a double thumbs up in my view.

I don't think it has a damn thing to do with being self assured, with all due respect. I think it has to do with dudes hoping to get laid....dudes being dudes if you will.

There may be other considerations you're not aware of. Think about it. This ain't facebook baby. :dancing:



I like Grim's avatar as well, but that's his personal preferrence to post it.

i see your POV and while I don't agree with the self-assured comment, I don't think most guys here think they will get laid with a chick on this forum.

i think people like to THINK they are self-assured and want to appear so, in some cases, and therefore they post a pic to show, "hey, i'm self-assured so i'll post a pic"
