Should I put my picture as my avatar?

If you're putting your picture on, can I get your piggybank avatar? :3 Haha (: Kidding. Well, if people are willing to post all their personal information onto Social Platforms like Facebook, along with their phone numbers and workplaces, then I guess it wouldn't be too bad if you put yours on too (: Think: Safety in numbers :3

I actually really like it when I see that someone has themselves as their avatar. I have a personal preference for that as it does make it feel like you are talking to someone, rather than something. I sort of cheated when I first joined and got a picture of an anime character's face so it was sort of personal, just not me lol. I am thinking I will change it to me sometime if I can find a half decent picture of myself that won't scare off other members lol. But yea, if you are thinking it would be a good idea to put a piccy of yourself up, then I fully approve :) Maybe you could do it on a trial basis, try it for a week and if seeing yourself on mylot is a little too strange then change it back. You don't have to keep it when you have changed it if you don't want to lol. All the best and happy mylotting, Dranz

Hi anime! I don't know what to tell you! I think that is a decision that only you can make! I don't have a camera so I can't put any pictures up! If I didn my avatar would be a picture of my two cats! I probably would have a picture of me in my photo collection, well at least one! But, I can't tell you if it is an ok thing to do or not! I really don't know! I'm not sure if I would feel safe or not if I was a younger person. Too many weird things happen with online stuff so I don't want to be the one to say yes or no!

Sure why not. Hehe. I you afraid someone used your picture for bad thing you can edit your picture a bit or take from angle that not show your full face. Just like mine.

It depends on you, for me i prefer not to show my own picture. Well, as you can see most of us here in mylot, doesn't have an avatar showing their own picture.. But if you want still to post it, there's no need to worry. Mylot is a great site and i know they will not use it for bad purposes.. Good Luck and Happy Mylotting!...

Ya,don't be worried about that ,you see ,I am not beautiful ,I still expose myself for all of you .I don't care about that ,I just want to let my friends know more about me .So ,don't be afraid,come on.

Thats not wrong..hering this from a american women is really exhausting...i though that americans were bold people and not like Indians..Only in India women really make a big thing to display their picture to the website they are in and if they do also their face would not be that visible..its totally safe to have your photo as display image since websites like these are foolproof that they dont allow other sites to take your picture that easily... Happy Mylotting...

Why not. I don't see anything wrong with that. My first avatar when I just sign up was my picture with the ostrich bird. And I just changed it with this. And have no idea for another replacement.

Hey, its your avatar space, do what you will. If you do use your face, good for you. I don't think it'll be too bad on here. I'm not one to use mine especially since I've preferred my avatars way more (plus they look better anyways ;p)

hi anime i personnaly do not like to use my own image as avatar ... i prefer to be the invisible one ... I am too personal in my discussions, i am myself here, i say what i feel and do not change or retract my opinion to suit anyone ... I am totally a different person in my real life, as i have learned to pretend dumb and keep my mouth shut in order to retain "peace" in my life ... I do not want people, especially my family or friends to know who i am Furthermore, my avatar defines my personality , beautiful flower, smells good, transperent, black and white cheers

What should you be worried about animegirl? It is proper that you show your picture to mylot members unless you are not truthful and sincere. If you are not doing anything bad, you should not be afraid that other users will see your face.

Hi animegirl, I would definitely advise against it. There are over one hundred and eighty thousand users registered to this site, many of them inactive but still with access, and from that large quantity of people you should consider what percentage of them are likely to be loopy loops. Personally I like to see a members picture up there, but think on the whole it's a safer option for the men.

Sure why not.when I put picture and I put my favorite picture of me.I think that you should think too much,others don't know it is who .

Thats a better if you use your picture.If you think you dont want to show urself then make some effects to your pic and then upload Like your current pic..nothing understanding...hehe..;)

I use my picture as my avatar because I feel comfortable with it. However, I don't give out any traceable personal information which could give the 'loopy loops' as Thea calls them clues to my exact location. I like to see a picture of someone rather than an icon, as it makes the person you are talking to seem real. However, in the long run it's what you post that really speaks volumes about you and the sort of person you are, not your avatar or picture. Just do what you feel comfortable with.
