What if you had to put your real picture as your Avatar....would you be here? email this discussion to a friend?

I have noticed that most people don't put there real picture up when posting on the internet and I imagine it's for anonymity or because we don't like our own snapshots of ourselves. But what if by some fluke the internet gods decided that you had to show your real photo or say whenever you got logged on; it took your picture for the day....would you log on as much? At all?!
I think I'd end up spending an hour every day trying for some semblance of someone that wouldn't scare small children....how about you?

lol I would not be here if that was a condition for mylotting. I chose my avatar as I dont find myself photogenic at all and the avatar tells a lot about myself, that I am a cat person and that this is even a snapshot of a feline friend I made myself.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

There cat looks like a sweety! I love cats...and dogs...I am using a friends avatar right now...support and all.
I don't know if I would or not...maybe not on a "bad hair day" hehehe...


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

Sorry, it's too early in the morn here. I meant to say Your, not there....oh well...


myLot reputation of 97/100. book1962 (9195)   ranked 509 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

hi and I need my third coffee of the day, its almost 3 pm here and I am getting sort of sleepy over here too now.
I wish that was my cat in real life but we cant have one right now.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

It is about 7:30 in the morning here and I have not been sleeping well...I hope you can get a great cat soon....life without cats is so boring....

yes i would log on just as much as i do now. i don't look all that great in the morning but, i have a lot of friends online i talk to everyday. plus looks shouldn't matter. i would just be prepared in case they decided to take my pic.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

I imagine Mary Kay and other cosmetic companies would see a bigger sales jump than now...he he!.....

I do have a picture of me as my avatar but I don't think I would enjoy having one taking each time I logged on daily. Somemornings I am on here in my dressing gown half asleep before I've evn had my two morning cups of tea and that pic would be a reall scary on too! LOL. I would definately not log much if this was the case. Ellie:D


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

I really love your avatar Ellie, It shows your shining,smiling face! Thanks for sharing!


myLot reputation of 86/100. ellie333 (3767)   ranked 424 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

Aaah Thanks, Shiny happy people having fun LOL. Ellie:D

No I would not be here as I don't put pictures of myself or my family on the internet I absolutely refuse to put pictues of my kids on the internet I just don't feel it is safe.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

Luvs,
That is a very good point! I guess I'm not that afraid of the people out there as I am of seeing my mug every time I log in!

Although it may come to that someday, there is a real issue with stalkers and nut cases in general.

The internet is renown for the perception of anonymity and to have to put your likeness on it would pretty much destroy any semblances of privacy.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

That's true....but who would want to take the time to stalk a middle aged, overweight,graying,loudmouth such as myself?! he!he!he!

Well I use my pic and well I like cameras so id have no issues with my picture on any site. It would be fun if they took your pic each time you logged on. Id look like crap most times as i log on after I first wake up.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

You know Minnie,
If I looked half as good as you do in a picture I would probably show it too! I like your avatar and I wouldn't change a thing...


myLot reputation of 98/100. minnie_98214 (3744)   ranked 446 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

Thank you so much. Its one of my favorite modeling photos and I love it. I had so much makeup after that shoot though I felt like a street walker after I left lol.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

Your too funny Minnie,
I love the picture of you...it's a great shot and if it was me I would have it hanging on my wall....thanks for responding!

I've got myself up as an avatar, but you made another point here; if it snapped a picture of me to post when I signed in, I'd be here a LOT less, 'cause usually when I sign on I haven't had my coffee yet or anything, and NO ONE deserves to have to look at me like that!w00t


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

Good point! I think a lot of us like that fact. We aren't too thrilled about scaring small children and old ladies this early in the morning! Mostly me!

myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

I actually love your pic girl...and I love your handle too...very original and not wishy washy at all!

i think that would be scary - but my avatar IS me - well my face anyway - i used to know a pretty good photoshop guru...
i use my real me in some places, i don't mind - but if it were required? DANG RIGHT i'd mind - i like to have a choice.
and some people MAY have need or just want more anonymity - it would stink not being able to have that!
picture of the day for log-in? no way - i am barely presentable when i leave for work, let alone when i get things on-line first thing at home! that WOULD require therapy for viewers - and all those poor people at the dating sites?? WOW
i actually like that we have to read between the lines a little and really get to know someone without seeing them right away.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

I think your avatar is one of the most interesting ones I have come across! I wouldn't change a thing!

rotflmao:)) what a scary concept LMAO i suppose I would but it would sure put a cramp in my posting before along with my coffee before I get dressed LMAO. Or for us that Post naked, wow that would put a whole different spin in the word cyber.... LMAO It would be shower dress and makeup before coffee.... eee gads not sure I like that much.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (867)   ranked 34 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

I think we have had this conversation before Angel...I told you that I love your avatar when I asked in a discussion why you pick the avatar that you do. I think the originality of it is what is so cool about it and I would never change it if I was you...


myLot reputation of 90/100. Angelwhispers (4405)   ranked 510 out of 4,456 in internet  3 months ago

yes Hornswaggled lets just hope I do not ever have to duck intot he bath before I can sit and talk to you:))))
