Well, I don't even use a picture of myself either. As you can see, I have an airplane which exemplifies my passion for travel. I've only changed it once and that was from one airplane image to this one currently in use.

I have used a cartoon as my avatar, mainly to show my fun side! I really don't take a good photo - hence why I don't use a picture of myself. But its nice to see pictures of who you're speaking to!!!! :0)

Most people including me are not so self-confident, they dislike the way they look, have complexes and dont like to much to make pics of themselves.Another reason is that i prefer my look dont to impact the way people accept me.

I feel that, blankly putting own picture as the avatar, is of no use and does not tell much about a person, except ones phisical looks, which really has no value in a forum of this sort. Instead, if we can put someting which speaks about my interests, it will help the other members to know and understand me better. SO I have kept a picture of a sea beach. I like to go to a place of this sort, for my vacation. I love the seaside.

yea you are right ,this is not a dating site,so our looks does not make any sense here.we all come here to earn some bucks,and there is no harm if we can express our wish by the avatar

Well, it is entirely up to the individual to choose their own avatar. I think using your own picture as an avatar is not a problem. The only problem, maybe, if you dont like how you look.

ok,but i think you can try your own picture too,cuse here we all come for earning and to know each other,i do not think here such people come who would criticize you for how do you look.
