I so far have used a real picture of myself, and a recent one. I'm a real person, and that is what I show. I guess everyone has their quirks. For my upbringing and age, I feel more comfortable showing my face than anything else. If I find someone I want to talk with, I have pics stashed. Man, that generation gap is widening. Gonna have to work on that!!!

My avatar is me. However, in this age of everything on the Internet is forever, I would never post a picture that could be linked back to and identified as me. My job precludes being honest and open about this part of my life. Perhaps it is a sign of my age, but when I see people with actual face pictures as their avatar, it make me cringe. Not because the picture is unattractive or bad, but because that picture is out there forever. One never knows what the future will bring. Always keep your options open. Protect yourself!

I had never considered not using a real foto, but I decided to delete my foto because I got tired of being asked if it was really me.

My avatar is me too, not of my face of course, I would never do that, since I want to keep this side of me a secret. I've also been accused that the pictures are not me, and this is coming from people you can tell, are the fakes ones. All my Image Gallery pics are me. I do appreciate honest people, even though they don't show their face ;)

Some dudes on lush copy members personal pics so they can track them down on facebook. Because they're intirgued or obsessed and want to find out more / stalk them.

In that case, Lucy is your best movie to date, excluding any movie where you wore that outfit and you are the top celebrity I'd love to fuck.

I have to agree with this.. I know when I went through a law suite and things that were on face book come back to bite me in the ass. The took my comp from me and went through my entire hard drive.. So what was said, protect yourself,she is right... It will bite you!

The ugly mug to your left is my very own I'm afraid! It's a bit battered now, but the smile is genuine, if a tad 'simple'! If anyone from the 'real world' sees it on here I'm not that bothered, but I can fully understand those whose personal circumstances would make such exposure a total disaster. It's a matter of individual choice after all!

I would have never felt as strongly as I do now if I had not went trough 4 yrs of hell in a law suite that almost ruined my case. So now I am very protective. But like Norm says to each his own..(and Norm nothing wrong with your face,your a very nice looking man!)!

Thank you to all for the sound suggestion for caution, and protection. Wise words should never fall on deaf ears.

Thanks SD! The 'shop window' (ie the avi) is often less interesting than getting to know the person behind it!

My AV is me. As most people on here, (I think), I wouldn't like my personal friends/family to find me on here, but if they do, they would have to get over it. I'm a bit too old to worry too much about it, - "When I am old I shall wear purple", - and all that. And anyway, I would want to know what THEY were doing on here?

Why I'm here at all? Just check my profile......

There was a time I would not have considered being on Lush and recognizable.

Then I found out most people that are important to me already new who I am.

Business clients all told me they cared if I could do the job or not. My personal life was of little consequence.

So what you see is what you get.

I had mine up for awhile (I'm the OP of this question) and enjoyed the novelty. But after awhile I pulled back and hid behind David Foster Wallace again. Which might be a more accurate portrayal of me than my real pic (except I'm not nearly as talented).

I've realized I don't care to much if I were found out on Lush. Work wouldn't care. My friends would enjoy the stories. In fact, I've told two friends (though not the name of the site), and my therapist! They all approved. Including my therapist.

In my prior Lush life I had an AV made from an actual photo of myself... it wouldn't be right to simply resurrect it... so I'm thinking about an upgraded version... smile

I've used my real pics as avatars for over a year now, and no dire consequences have befallen me, so I'll continue to do so.

DRUM ROLL....I Cant wait to see it.

I don't use my own pics as an avatar but I do always use ones similar to me.

People can see me if I friend them or them me but I personally wouldn't use my own pic as an avatar but then if I was as pretty as Bethany above me maybe I would

Edit Damn MrNiceguy you pipped me to my post.

I use my own pic for the avatar, there's a few more on my profile but there is a mix lol my husband takes and uploads the pis for me as I'm completely crap at technology! Haven't a clue what to do lol no full facial ones though wouldn't want to scare ppl! I'm an ample womn and not everyone likes that , so if you dont like my avatar pic , no worries, you can just pass me by lol at least you get a rough idea of what I look like?

Mysteria I love looking at that bum of yours lol it's sooo mesmerising! Xx
