    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). :D:D

    I would use my real photo for my avatar if I ever find the right angle for my face to be at least presentable :D

    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.

    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)

    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."
