Apologies if this topic has already been talked about....
But.. Does it annoy anyone else that guys use girls pictures as their profile pictures? I don't mean CD.. Although some of those have caught me out as well.. Straight males using girls pictures.. Is it just to get more profile views? Whatever the reason I wish they wouldn't.. Anyway rant over...
nope, doesnt matter to me at all. I dont use myself as my avatar, and I see no reason why someone else should have to either. I choose something that represents me, and if what represents you is a give in strawberry short cake pants? who am I to judge. I see people that post because its something they like, they want they love or wish to have.
I'm not saying they should use themselves... Just wish they wouldn't use a girl as their profile pic..
I administrate a social site that requires everyone to use their real photo as their avatar, but its a closed site on a private server which makes it safer for members to do that. Its taken me awhile to get used to the avatars here not even remotely equaling the profilee (usually!)
Fair point.. Nothing wrong with your pic.. It's the ones who pretend to be the girls on their profile pic.. Or lead us to believe they are the girls in their profile pic.. E.g cutting off their heads and showing their boobs etc..
I don't know why guys would use a woman as an avatar, but like Dirty_D said, whatever, doesn't bother me and I don't judge or agonise over it.

Anything is better than the red anonymous avatar.
Other than that it doesn't bother me. I have male and female friends. Gay, lesbian, heterosexual, bisexual, crossdresser and bi curious as friends. It's the person that counts not the avatar.
I don't get it...but I don't judge, either. I just feel sorry for those poor guys/girls who get fooled into thinking that they're talking to a gender that they aren't. My avatar isn't me...but I'm a guy and my avatar is a guy.

It doesn't bother me...or annoy me...I don't even question it.
I use pictures I like as my avatar. Others do the same.
Sometimes it's for attention. Sometimes it's because they feel like it. It's no big deal.
If we're speaking in terms of preference, I'd rather befriend a guy with a female as his avatar than someone with an obviously fake avatar saying things like, 'My avatar is me.'
But that's just me.

Doesn't bother me or annoy me, I always read the profiles of members fully before contacting or friending anyway.
The only thing similar that DOES annoy me is when male or female use a photo which blatantly is NOT them and then write in the caption 'me doing ...' Or 'me in the bath' for example. No, it's not you! It's a copy/paste from a website you dick! lol.
As for guys using female pics or people using pics that just aren't them (but not trying to pass them off as them) doesn't bother me at all
Edit - basically what Dani said above, just read her post!
What I see on Lush is that it is a place for people to play, to fantasize, to chat, to write, to do what they like and often times it is an escape from their normal day to day life. I think if you come into this site knowing that you never really know if who you are talking to is who they appear to be, and enjoy it for what it is, then your expectations are not overblown. If people are looking to hook up with others here for a real relationship, then they need to do some investigation before jumping from fantasy to reality!
I don't post my face here because I am showing other parts, and I am older and have a fairly conservative family. As the Lush site is a place that I can safely write and talk about my inner desires and dreams, the last thing I want is to see pictures of me posted around and my family or close friends reading my stories. This is where I let my inner beast go wild!
For all I know, everyone I chat or befriend here is a 70 year old guy in prison. Or, they could be 15 year old horny kids. Or, they could be exactly who they say they are. I think you can figure things out pretty quickly when you chat with people. For me, I love meeting all kinds and chatting about many different things.
Enjoy the site for what it is, or even for what you think it is!
I really don't get it and it shits me to no end serious why
Doesn't bother me, and people can identify however they want. But if it's just a straight guy using a pic of a hot girl, it is confusing. I don't think they realize everyone assumes they are a girl when they do that.
But I once used a picture of the moon, when I first joined, and quite a few people thought I was a girl, so who knows?
Not being interested in anything remotely sexual (with other people) I don't care

My profile is for both my wife and I to enjoy. As such, I currently have my wife's photo as my avatar and occasionally swap it with one of my own as the mood suits. In the interest of discretion, i wont show our faces.
The only time I have a problem is if it's a man pretending to be a woman using a woman's photo.
What about those loons who use Japanese monsters as avatars, when they are CLEARLY not Japanese monsters, because Japanese monsters don't have opposable thumbs and thus can't type?
