I like it when people use their actual photos for avatars. It makes the person seem more real, or something. Sometimes I use my real photo, sometimes I use a picture of a buffalo. Sometimes I do both (like now).
so the sexy Both is good, I like variety. I like using my photography which 99.54% of the time does not include my face so
I would use my real photo for my avatar if I ever find the right angle for my face to be at least presentable
I saw this thread so i thought i would update my avatar with a pic of me . I do agree that you feel more trusting when dealing with someone when you can see their face, it's more personal.
here's the specific keystrokes I took after seeing a pic of you: ctrl+++++++++++ (in FF(3) that zooms to about 400% ))
Is there something I can buy from you? Doesn't really matter what. Anything. Seriously. Maybe you and Vera can go in together and offer some sort of special package. I'll pay double.
I could see myself being "sucked in" to agreeing to a deal more easily by someone with a pic of themselves I consider good looking (like the one maddiseo has) Sad... but I doubt many, if any, of us can avoid being influenced by our own prejuduces based on appearance. (think I might find a hot babe pic for myself after typing that! LOL)
and now you are photographing gerbils?? I didn't know you could do that! Thanks And you wonder why some girls hesitate to show their pictures around here...
I will use my real photo as my avatar, once I hit up 3K posts, but right now i like my Devilish avatar.
I prefer to use my name 'Deluxdon' avatar (currently in my profile picture) Don't want to add my real photo as i am very handsome and good looking guy (Don't get excite DP gals ) DON.
Yea I agree, but I've gotten used to it myself and have switched to using that photo (mine) for the other forums/ social sites I frequent. It just feels more "genuine."
