You and Your Avatar

My picture is the same one that Time Magazine used when they voted me Sexiest Man Alive 2016. I like the picture so I use it. And no, ladies, that's not Brad Pitt. It's really me, and I'm getting real sick and tired of answering that question.

I wish there was a follow button on here, because every time I come across one of your posts I'm laughing, thanks for being one of the cool people here I've never met

It suits me perfectly. I'm a casual dresser but like to add a bit of sex appeal to my step. My personality is laid back. I like to tackle life with a positive outlook. I do enjoy people watching...sitting on a ledge or a step and just wondering as people walk by what are they thinking. Are they on this site too..

Find something that you like, and go with it. No fuss, just that simple.

I think it conveys my playfulness mixed with a touch of sexy (kind of how I am in real life too!) along with playing on my screen name.

I have to be honest with you ….. I think your avatar is really hot and for me, it’s unforgettable. Is it possible to have a crush on someone’s avatar? I may have said too much here…..

I miss my old AV. I was under a different name, and I love bananas. This? Speaks for itself. My profile is me.

Thanks for the reply, I don’t entirely understand it. Can you help me with that? I believe I saw the sign at a rally.

I like cats, vibrant colors, abstract art, and playing the guitar is one of the great loves of my life. This is my 2nd AV, and I was kinda looking for something along those lines, and as soon as I saw this, it was undeniable.

Really like the avatar, now that I understand how it is reflective of you. I’m intrigued to know if you ever considered a semi-clothed pic of yourself? I see a lot of that here. On the flipside, like you, I’m trying to figure out how to make an avatar that reflects multiple facets of who I am. Then again, does the avatar work when there isn’t an explanation?

I’ll take a crush anyway I can get it

I've had a few over the years but stuck with this one. It's from an old Absinthe poster. Fits my attitude too. So I keep it.

Thanks for the reply AF. Honestly, I don’t quite understand how your avatar relates to your attitude, please share if you want.

For a long time I only had cartoons of tinkerbell and then this pic got taken for a game of truyhnor dare. I liked it and a friend convinced me to post it.
It wasn’t as scary as I thought to put it up and I’ve shared a few other pics here and there.
I change it up from time to time but Tolyk really likes this one and if I can make him happy with something so simple I will every time

It’s a very nice and tasteful pic, is it you? It actually is a bit inspiring for me. Muchas Gracias!

I am not a fan of cockatar avatars, I think my avatar mocks them adequately and my name is Richard.

Like LostGirlTink, I don’t think an avatar needs to be blatantly salacious. I mean, I’m fine with that, but I don’t know that it’s necessary. Yours is pretty clear to me and I respect that. It isn’t hard to figure out and it also says to me that you’re lighthearted and find humor in all this stuff that goes on here. I respect that.

My avatar is usually me and just showing a little bit of me.

 

[tnh_06]

It shows a side of me and I guess a part of me that I could never show in my real life. It also goes with my personality because I am probably a bit of a dick.

 

[Asian_Flower]

My AV says so many things about me, but I will keep that to myself.

 

[TalkToMeInSB]

I'm a sailor and I love women. I found the image years ago and loved it. A free spirited woman expressing herself unabashedly on a sailboat. Funny thing is, I found the image years before meeting her, but the silhouette looks very much like my girlfriend!

 

[Karabare]

I've always appreciated this painting "The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli. She's lovely and round, the colors are amazing and the Italian renaissance was a fantastic period in time. I had an art teacher compare me to Venus once, I'm chubbier, but our colorings are similar.
I never change my AV, but when you choose one choose it because it speaks to you or makes you smile or shocks people.

 

[inkandiridiumnibs]

My AV is a reminder if a very good time in my life, when everything was falling down around me, I got to be part of something bigger. To reach out and touch a couple of lives and come back feeling like I made a difference.

In my search for my own Avatar, I thought it would be good to hear from all of you about yours.

- What does it mean to you? -

I "might" have a problem.

- What made you pick it? -

I change my avatar more often than I probably should. But I guess to answer your question, I must have been subconsciously feeling very philosophical that day. The agony of having too many choices makes me late to everywhere. Trying to decide what pair of shoes to wear is sort of like trying to please everyone all the time - it's never easy and often impossible. I guess it says, welcome to my world.

- Does it have a secret meaning? -

No. Well, yes.

- Does it have the affect on others you intended? -

Yes. Surprisingly it does. At least compared to some of the other avatars I've chosen in the past. I think most women can relate and most men seem to too in one way or another (their wives probably have a closet full of shoes too). Also, I never knew how many guys really and truly had secret shoe and foot fetishes until I joined Lit. I started looking around in the RW and realized that they're everywhere! So, the pervs seem to like it too (which is fine by me btw)

- Is it part of your online personality? -

Yes.

- What is it about your Avatar that you think makes it a really good Avatar? -

You've made me realize it's a cry for help.

- What do others misconstrue about your Avatar? -

They think I spend a ton of money on shoes. Wait, what does "misconstrue" mean?

 

[numeniusa]

Mine's always me, and it's usually a pic I think makes me look good, let's be honest I change it fairly regularly. Currently it's upside-down to signify that I am enjoying my trip Down Under

Like many I try to protect my anonymity here, but I like having a sort of 'realness' in my AV, something which reflects the side of me which Lit brings out and enables me to express.

 

[CamronsInsider]

For a while I had a cartoon pic of a loose cannon, the name came from the description of me by an old but good friend. Now I show a little of me and my particular kink to make sure no-one gets the wrong impression... change it occasionally when I remember how to sort small files out

Your avatar made me smile. I like the pic a lot too. Thank you for sharing!

Love bindings of all varieties and hands are my favourite part of the body to tease and be tease.

I appreciate your post and that your avatar is very clear to me. The ideas and inspirations I have had might not be as clear as yours. You have a cool photo.

Only AV picture I've ever had. I think I had close to 1,000 posts to my name and still hadn't posted a picture. My best friend, here on Lit, suggested that I choose something. I mentioned that I wasn't really interested in looking for anything and she said she'd make me one. This was it and I've kept it ever since. It's fun and playful so it represents me well and it's got something to do with my job. It's also something Chica made me so it stays, for her.

And I know I have replied to your post on one of the “say something about the avatar above you” threads. Yours has a youthful feel to it, I like that.

OP, if you are really putting it out there for our consideration, please, no Cocktars.

I really and genuinely seeking thoughts of others, I’m not doing this like it’s some sort of game. I’ve definitely concluded that I’m not taking a naked picture of myself. Not that I was planning to, but I completely get it. I feel that being somewhat clothed and leaving some mystery to it all is way more erotic than just letting it all hang out.

Always chasing but never catching. lol

I had been using the same av for years and years - of a flower I took a picture of in Kauai. Then someone told me it was time to retire that picture. So, I wanted to choose a picture of me - without scaring anyone. So I chose the current av.

It was taken by my son while in Typhoon Lagoon at Disney World's water park. I had gone to Disney World with either my son or daughter (or both) about every other year and we got good at understanding where we wanted to hang out the most. Typhoon Lagoon was the place we usually chose as our, "Go To" spot each vacation.

While there, I started getting my kids to try crazy things while in the wave pool and would use a disposable underwater camera for taking pictures of their antics. When I had them try things, my daughter started realizing that OTHER kids would listen in to my instructions and would try them as well - so we "organized" a little bit. At one point we had over 20 kids doing the same thing at the same time in the pool.

This picture represents the fun I had with my kids - without scaring any of the adults in this room with my looks...

This was me finishing my 8th Spartan race (2nd in two days) from July of last year. I decided to do a jumping dab because my son told me that dabbing was so 2016... I mostly did it to embarrass him (I flossed across the finish line the day before) I couldn't believe how well it turned out considering I usually hate all my race photos... Those socks were white when I started

You have done something very artistic here, you have truly made an avatar that is reflective of the fun you bring to your posting. I assume the photo is really you and if so, I respect you for it. Most folks don’t put their faces up here, I don’t think I will.

It suits me perfectly. I'm a casual dresser but like to add a bit of sex appeal to my step. My personality is laid back. I like to tackle life with a positive outlook. I do enjoy people watching...sitting on a ledge or a step and just wondering as people walk by what are they thinking. Are they on this site too..

I get all that from your avatar. Love the pic (especially the shoes!). Thanks for your reply!

I think it conveys my playfulness mixed with a touch of sexy (kind of how I am in real life too!) along with playing on my screen name. I’ll take a crush anyway I can get it

Ok, so I already replied …… so, you’re accepting the crush?

My avatar is usually me and just showing a little bit of me.

I like the photo, makes me think you’re very relaxed and easy going.

It shows a side of me and I guess a part of me that I could never show in my real life. It also goes with my personality because I am probably a bit of a dick.

I have to admit, from one guy to another, I can totally understand the desire to put up this kind of photo. I’m wondering if you feel that it gets more response than you might otherwise get.

My AV says so many things about me, but I will keep that to myself.

No, please share. It certainly is provocative and personally, I have a thing for garters. Don’t be shy – nothing about your avatar suggests that you’re shy. Can you share a little bit?

I like your face


I first had a black and white lip bite avatar that I really liked but wasn’t me

Then I switched it to my lips but only cos i had a pic that made them look like

I’ve had my body, my ass and a range of different lingerie profiles that sometimes made it to av but they’ve been more short term, my favourite combo was lip av and butt profile so it looked like kiss my ass (cos I’m easily amused)

And I haven’t been here in a while so I’m currently empty

 

[THROBBS]

I made the COCKTAR! one I have used for years, because it is perfect, but recentlyish made this one as a feeble sort of "protest"

FACT: All of May's AVs are exquisite.
