Why isn't your avatar a pic of you?

Those whom I wish to know what I look like know what I look like, usually because they've had dealings with me in person.

Under no circumstances will I ever post my pic here, because what if a friend or a prospective employer sees it?

Also, in case I get into a flame war with anybody here, I don't want some poster making nasty comments about my looks etc.

For those reasons, I'm never posting my picture here.

I'm going to have to call bravo sierra on some of these excuses,
though I will admit that some of them are incredibly creative.
Have some of y'all thought about writing fiction as you have
great imaginations.

I have actually already earned money due to my writing "skills"

anywa ys, back to the topic: I have posted my damn nose-ear-eyes-mouth-hair-carrying device AKA face on here, its no big deal. I just think an avatar of Henry Kissinger staring at some busty blondes rack is way funnier than my unspectacular face.

oh, and some might think: "hey, if I use my face on my avatar, there will be some ts-ladies on here who I would like to score with thinking I am a "chaser"

Because posting a picture of myself here -- or anywhere on the internet -- is akin to leaving your car keys in the ignition of your car while parked in the hood. One never knows where it will end up, what it might be involved in, or what will become of it. There are enough posters here who know what I look like anyway.

... I have traveled the country to meet up with fellow posters from political sites who share the same points of view, and I doubt I knew what 95 percent of them looked like before we met in person. Not posting one's picture is par for the course on most sites, be they political or porn related. There's just no need for it.

No It aint mee on my avatar. But I found one who is real close.
I know many of you dont like it but its meant to symbolise mee and my personality.

An avatar can be representative of you without actually being a picture of you. But I see why some people might not want to post pictures online in general. I just recently found someone using one of my drawings as their avatar lol I guess I should be flattered.

As for my reason, I hate taking pictures. There are barely any pictures on my Myspace. Though if someone were so inclined to find out what I looked like they could just ask. Or stalk me on myspace lol. I generally only make it a point to send a picture to someone I see myself making an effort to get to know better.
