The avatars by way of photographs or pictures appearing in your profile page... male or female ..does it show who you really are ?As for me . My avatar is a copied version of a figure from my photo file..it has nothing to do with my physiognomy..I'm rather slim ,dark, short with a receding headline. . Maybe I would post my real photograph some time later.

My avatar is a photo I took some years ago and it shows the springtime in May here in the northern part of the world.
I think most people choose their avatar because they like the picture and maybe it shows something of their personality.
We can always post more photos into our profile.

Mine is for real, me, husband and grandbaby. I need to dress in Garden Gerty's clothes and post a picture of her. My husband still has the generic green guy as his avatar, and he is nothing generic at all. I have a good pic of him I will post as soon as I learn how to download from my new camera.

Hey that would be a good idea, maybe everyone could put up their true photos over a period of a week so we can get to see each other as we really are, but would everyone be honest enough to do that, some would still like to retain a bit of mystery about themselves.

Well, that is just a good picture of you. It does not look like it is a real picutre of a real person. You are allowed to pretty much have anything you want as an avatar.

I doubt if anyone thinks my dog (my avatar) is sitting typing this response.

You should put up your real picture. I only have a picture of flowers on here. But, I do have family photos on my web page. I may add my real picture on here soon, if I can find a good enough one of me. LOL I never like pictures of myself.

As of now, my avatar is obviously not me, since I haven't uploaded any yet. Good thing you thought of this discussion. If I were to upload one, it would definitely be me. However, since I'm still new here, I really don't know how to upload one yet. If possible, could you kindly inform me how to upload my own avatar? Thanks in advance, sukumar!
