Why don't you use your photograph as an avatar

[Neve]

Hahaha this is true, you're really cute!

Awww! Thanks!

i dont know how to make my picture that small!

 

[MacFall]

Because I hate the way I look and I only put my picture in my profile as a compromise to get some people to stop pestering me about it.

If I posted a picture of myself, my inbox would be flooded with e-dates within an hour.

Beauty must be such a burden

I'm Ross Geller !

 

[PetLuv]

I think I'm rather unattractive and that would influence how people treat me. And that would also influence how people listened. And I wouldn't get the friendly emails from people. And people would be offended that someone who looked like me would talk to someone like them. And I don't want to be identified by people in the real world. I've had enough of haters and I don't need them to put together their real world dislike of me with the further dislike of my thoughts here. And I think it says something about a guy who really likes Rocky Horror, so I use the more familiar lips icon that are actually remniscent of my own full lips. And no, I don't really look good in drag. Well, actually, I might, but I don't think CF wants me to use my Rocky drag picture as an avatar. Thanks.

Because of the symbolism my avatar has, it expresses my username and my identity quite well.

I Bless The Rains Down In Aaaaaaaaaafricaaaaaaaaaa

Edit: Darn filter. That was funnier in all caps.

Who said that I'm not using my photograph as my avatar?

 

[Guy Incognito]

I know I answered earlier, but here's one more;

I find this funnier.

Wanna see what I look like? hit up my profile, or when I spam the crap outta the 'share a pic' thread

 

[lunalotte1188]

I like to retain some anonymity. This place is different from Facebook. I prefer to use nature pics, or fandom pics.

 

[Amber.ly]

Because it would make the point of the profile picture redundant.

And I love my avatar. Seriously, if I could, I would hang it as art in my house.

 

[Keri]

Our of curiosity, how come so few people here use their photgraph as their avatar? I think I am the only one I have come across who uses their photograph as an avatar.

Is there something I am missing here?

I can't remember if I even have an avatar right now. I guess this post will inform.
I think I have at one point, but if I do decide to put a photo up now, it's usually as a profile picture or briefly on the photo thread.

Because the general populace cannot handle the eyeball-melting beauty that is me.

Or because I feel like it's nobody's daggone business who I am behind the screen.

Probably the second one.

Besides, my avatar rules the entire cosmos with its hilarity.
