Do Avatars Govern Our Perceptions Of Posters?

[methylatedghosts]

I've wondered before what impression my avatar makes. I haven't changed it the whole time I've been on here

your name doesn't happen to be Dinsdale Piranha does it?

No, I'm a figment of Dinsdale's imagination, apparently.

Man after my own heart. ..I've never changed mine either.

 

[Draupadi]

Well mine mostly brought attention of the Indians here. So yes it does affect our thoughts to a certain extent.

 

[Zardoz]

Mine has been known to frighten. Why would a giant flying stone idol head do that I wonder?

 

[Smart_Guy]

What other avatars create a strong impression about the poster?

Hmm... I wonder!

*looking at me own avatar*

 

[Madhuri]

I have to admit that a person's avatar does influence my initial impression of them.
I'm definitely curious to know if my avatar has influenced people's impression of me. I bet you all think I'm incredibly good looking, mysterious and magical. You would be right, of course

I knew it

 

[Matemkar]

Well, I don't think it does.

Speaking of avatars, sometimes I think of changing my avatar, because people may judge Islamic Revolution and its leader; Sayyid Ali Khamenei mistakenly because of my endless mistakes. Yet, I don't change it because I want someone that I love, in my avatar. Do you think I should change it?

Eeek!

Do you think I should change it?

...,... No....... you should not change it.
I use pictures of our little dog in my avatar, albeit with additions ( ) ...... simply because she makes me laugh. If any members think that I'm a pushover 'cos she's so small........ then they meet the other me....

And very dainty...in a Downton Abbey kind'a way.

I never change my theme. But I did notice that with the latest one, no one will shake me hand anymore.

She is interesting, but Google suggests your image is a 'Chinese goddess'. Its a good thing you have 'Bhagavad Gita' marked in your religion slot, because otherwise I would presume a different religion.

Wouldn't you be more worried about people judging you mistakingly because of the Islamic revolution and its leader's endless mistakes?

Sometimes I find that out of the clear blue, a poster is angry with me...even when I'm on me best behavior. And then I look at me avatar, which is variously an angry Scottish janitor shaking his fist, brandishing a hoe or shovel, or with his arm down a terlit. Does this mislead some from me normally soft & fluffy personality?

What other avatars create a strong impression about the poster?

''terlit'' haha.
I think so. It is hard not to. But yours is funny I think, not aggressive. We show something of ourselves, do you not think?

 

[Robert.Evans]

What does mine say about me?

Quite! She does not look real to me, but the hair is enticing... and she seems to keep birds. Pehaps she has a petshop... that's nice

 

[BSM1]

What does mine say about me?

You're a real doll.

 

[Draka]

And what of those who use a pic of themselves as their avie? As I am doing now and have done before at times and others do as well? Does that "say anything" about a person, or "it just is"?
