Should I change my avatar???

I think I will change my avatar, I just wanted to get an opinion on it before I did. I'm glad you think I look so young, you add another 10 years on that and you got my age lol. I think a lot of this has to do with me looking a lot like my sperm donor (doesn't deserve to be called dad) The couple of times we have stood together, we looked like twins.

Now that you mention it, I look like both parents. It just depends on which I am around. I think I look more like my sperm donor unfortunately, but when I go out with my mom, everyone thinks that I am her sister. By the way, I love the "L" Avatar pic. I missed DeathNote this week *Sniff* I think the replay is tonight though so I will see it then.

it is odd that girls can look so much like their male parentals. I look so much like my dad (and I'm a girl) that I can walk through his old neighbourhood on my own (and I didn't grow up there) and people will ask me if I'm his daughter :-S

I guess I didn't realize that. I have the full blown pic staring at me each time I come in here, I forget the only one who sees that pic is me. You can see the ponytail around my right shoulder, but the pic you guys see is so small, maybe all you are seeing is the slicked part up top. This isn't the only place I have had someone mistake me for a man. I train people in internet marketing over yahoo messenger, where I have the same pic. Its a little bigger there, but one of my trainees kept calling me a dude. Its a little embarrasing.

Thank you for the vote of confidence, but I have already changed the avatar. Like I said before, I went through school being called all sorts of names (my awkward stage lasted from Kindergarten til about 10th grade) And being mistaken as a man just brought back bad memories. I think I will stick with this one for a while.

BTW You don't have to change it just because they don't know you or for other's sake, change it because you love doing it!;)

Yeah, that was when I was using the Sailor Moon pic. And I guess that, despite my thinking, most people don't try to figure out names.

I guess some people have a habit of calling us dudes(guys anyways more so)But they should understand how would they like us to call them mam or dudette ,Etc.?

Now what would be the point of that? I tell you, some people in this world are just crazy.

I can't help but smile in all my pictures. I even smile in my ID Photos. My hair was an absolute mess because I started to curl it, then got lazy, so it didn't want to lay right. But I still beamed the lady at the BMV a big one for my pic. I don't know, its just habit. Even though I wanted to be serious in this new Avatar pic, I'm still smirking a little.

I already changed it. Maybe I should have waited. But I changed it because I was tired of being called out of my gender. The previous pic didn't show my hair as well, just the slick part, which could have been mistaken for a short hair cut.

lol...and I was wondering why you posted another pic which was the same! My bad! I didn't even think that you would have changed it before I responded (so much for my ego!) Anyways, this is a nice pic!

Thanks for looking out for me Art, but I don't think I am interesting enough to stalk. I don't mind showing my real face. I have been on national TV before, so this is nothing.

I don't see it either, but you posted this after I finally went ahead and changed my avatar anyway. I took this the same day that I took the other one, its just a different pose. They should be able to recognize me, and if they don't, they should remember the name.

I understand that, but it gets tiresome to be called out of your gender over and over, you know?

I know and it is upsetting.You should get it right through this posting.Some people should see it now.I wish you the best of luck.I can not understand why they could not see it for their self.

A lot of my friends here at Mylot said the same thing, even before I changed my avatar. There really were only a few that thought I was a guy before I changed my pic, but I still didn't like the idea that people thought it. I went ahead and changed it.

Alamode just said the same thing. I guess people are just ready to make money here, and not really get the full benefit of a forum like MyLot. Oh well, it will be slow going for them, which is the ironic part.

Hehehe,alot thought i was a small short plump girl and kind of wild with my avatar i first had which was a small witchy girl,kind of like ruby gloom,hahaha!!!Same big eyes and same striped leggings,until one day i showed my picture,alot got shocked,hahahahaha!!!Hey,even before you did not have a picture of yourself,i got a feeling that you were a girl.People should read more into the responses that you put,it does not sound like its a guy responding at all in your responses.;) Peanutjar:)

I guess they don't think you are a male here, because they can see the lipstick. I don't know why you would be called a male with such feminine pics elsewhere, but I am glad it doesn't bother you. For me it took me back to a place that I didn't want to go again. I changed my pic yesterday because of that.

Thank you so much. I think the majority of people here read the discussions, but they don't pay attention to what is really being said. They are only here to make money, and they are missing the real beauty of mylot sadly.

He only wears it onstage, I swear!LOL! I have always known that you were a woman, not from the avatar as much as from your discussions... don't people read those? Its very apparent that you're female. Thats a nice pic, by the way!

That is a good way of putting it. I mean, I hope everyone changes their clothes at least once in a while lol.

I am shocked! Brave man got on a plane?!? Knowing him he was probably well inebriated (to keep it nice) before he got on. And you say that you don't never get told anything. I had to hear about his grandma on the internet lol.

You made a whole new comment for that Lol, you have to hit the reply button under the conversation to continue it. But I haven't been wearing anything in my head lately, except the boo-diggity-whoa-oh-oh lol B gon get it though. Can't keep sneaking off down south like that without telling people.

his grand mother had a heart attah. he went to see about her. shes ok. i think he will be back tonight. guess what b flew down! he got on a plan!!!

I changed my avatar before you posted to this discussion. Its just another pose I took the same day, this one shows my ponytail more than the other, which I think was the problem.

A couple people said the same thing before. I didn't think of the profile page at first, but when it was mentioned, I was like, uhh, duh!!!

Maybe I should have waited to change my avatar until I was finished with this discussion. The one I had before was from the front, where you couldn't see the length of my ponytail. I went ahead and changed it because people calling me a guy takes me back to school, where I was ridiculed constantly. I really don't like thinking about it, so I changed the avatar.

I am glad everyone thinks I am so young. When I do finally hit 40 I will look all of 20 lol.

I know its silly for me to be worried about what people who I will never talk to in person think about. Like I have said several times in this discussion, I was ridiculed a lot in school, and I let these people get to me because of it. I went ahead and changed the photo to another I had taken that same day, so I wouldn't get any more of those comments. I guess I took the easy way out /embarrassed. Oh, and yeah, I did get a little chuckle out of your post when I first saw it.

Thank you! I like this one better too. I guess it was like you said, bad angle. I liked the smile in the other one, but it caused so much confusion that I went ahead and changed it. Hopefully there is no mistake now!
