Cato 160314 Report post Posted April 23, 2011 Choosing an avatar can be a challenge, to get the right tone, to present yourself in the right way for that all-important first impression. Fun and playful, but serious too, in a way. A kind of summing-up statement. There are many brilliant avatars on here, but today I saw one that really caught my eye, so I thought I'd start a thread to discuss what we like about avatars, how we choose them, what they tell us. Here's the one that got me thinking. It shouldn't surprise anyone who's read my posts: Sweetshay, (avatar) thong of the day. Megforfun has a whole series of great avatars, too, and has started an album to display them. I think that's a great idea. Any thoughts on avatars?

wellie 652 Report post Posted April 24, 2011 Shay's Avatar is one of the best. It certainly grabs the viewer's and draws him to her and her message. There are others' I like. Megforfun has a whole variety of them. (I suspect we will see Meg dressed in some hockey jerseys pretty soon). Megan's Touch has some attention grabbing and alluring Avatars. You are right Cato, the Avatar is a great way to create a first impression. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MightyPen 67414 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 Mine is Jayne Cobb from the shortlived TV series Firefly. Wearing, of course, the goofy knitted hat he got from his mom. I picked it to celebrate the TV show, which I still mourn a little, and to embrace the silliness. "Shiny!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 Mine, photo of fishing from a boat (no not me), because fishing is my hobby It's also why I don't like the term hobbying when referring to seeing ladies, fishing is a hobby, how can you compare the two I also have had, and it's in my profile page and signature, a cartoon, "The Happy Fisherman" which is a fisherman getting a blowjob from a fish while fishing, kinda seems an appropriate avatar for a fisherman who has a profile on a escort site, not to mention it shows my offbeat sense of humour And the other avatar I've used is a picture of John Malkovich, only because more than a few ladies say I look like him Don't see it myself, but never argue with a lady RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrrnice2 157005 Report post Posted May 20, 2011 For the longest time my avatar consisted of the generic question mark, and after a period of time it became just normal and I did not even think of it. I then received a PM from a friend who suggested that I might like too improve upon it, and I began to look around. Thanks to Samantha Evans for the little nudge. Voila. I did find it on a general avatar library, so it is not totally unique by any means, At the moment I really like it, and for those who know me there can be a lot of symbolic interpretation built into it.

Winnipegcub 21293 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 Well my avatar wasn't any great stroke of genius. After I picked my name I went searching for pics. The one I have seemed to fit what I felt about myself. I must say though I have gotten lots of great compliments from ladies on 'just how cute he is', which often starts a great dialogue...and some of the ladies do have great avatars which just draws you into the profile. I must say Sweetshay has avatar selection down to an art. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gentleman11 10508 Report post Posted May 25, 2011 Anytime we can encourage a lovely person like you Nicki to provide new pictures is a great opportunity so please carry through with the thought! If if a new avatar means new pics then you might as well go out and get a new purse to complete this and the purse thread....lol G11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PistolPete 61421 Report post Posted May 25, 2011 I do like mine, and I will not change it it reveals a bit about myself which is being sensual,sexual and love I do love erotic play.

wellie 652 Report post Posted June 8, 2011 Chanel, Is that not a clit in your avatar. According to cerb rules you are not supposed to show genitals. I am surprised that the mod has not taken it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
