YOUR AVATaR PICTURES?

Question

Do you guys put pictures on your avatar to try to resemble your real features or just pick randamly? Just curious to know what people look like...LOL
I'm not talking about the people that have flags or pics of their favourite soccer players etc.
I know this isn't the right catagory but most of the people I know live in the 2006 Fifa World Cup!

Hey crazy_one ....that's me on my avatar...you like???

Answer 1

Yes, my avatar looks a lot like me, haha! I have dark hair and olive skin, and the same length hair. It's as close as it can resemble me! And yes, it is nice to see all us World Cup fans have made a community!

Hahaha, you know I love your avatar, Juventina! I'm crazy for Gigi! Best-looking avatar I have seen : )

Answer 2

There aren't a lot of facial features to choose from on Yahoo! Avatars, so my avatar actually doesn't look like me at all... and you can't separately choose the eyes, nose, and mouth, either. So, I tried to make it resemble my features, but the reality is that I haven't had much success. That's still okay, though, for the sake of Internet privacy. =D

Answer 3

lol I thought about asking the same question today!!!!
Well yeah it does look like me... I have green eyes, long brown hair,same colored skin lol... my avatar resembles me a lot : p
I was going to put the Italian flag... then I'm like oh whatever I put that flag everywhere already when I get a chance hehe

But honestly, your avatar pic is pretty sexy although Cannavaro's pic would have been far more sexier haha

Answer 4

Hi Juventina!!!

Yeah, my avatar is close enough -- except for the cat ears and whiskers ;-) But I'm known as "Catwoman" in college because most of my art projects gravitate towards cats, so I thought that it wouldn't be "me" without that feline touch.
I do have big green eyes and long brown layered hair. I actually have bangs, but the long hair with bangs on Yahoo Avatars reveals your actual ears, and I couldn't have two sets of ears -- a human one and a feline one! So I opted for the long hair without bangs to hide the human ears. Meow!

Does your avatar - not Gigi, the one you had before - actually look like you?

Answer 5

I tried to get as close as possible. i'm sure once I get around to it I'll use an actual picture. My hair is auburn though and my eyes change colors constantly.

You know, it's kinda nice how the WC part of answers has developed its own little community

Answer 6

My yahoo avatar almost looks like me..
but in other forums or chat room i never put my picture.. it's always a picture related to football or rock..

Answer 7

I picked one to look like me, but I know several people that choose something totally different either because they choose what they wished they looked like or because they think if they pick an avatar like them they think they will be "recognised".

(Mine would look just like me if I could change the nose.)

Answer 8

i sorta look like my avatar. I have the same shape face, sorta the hair color little more auburn than red though, i have green eyes. But i have freckles

Answer 9

;) Myself, I believe what makes the BEST avatar is when the individual achieves a fairly-good in-depth self-portrait: I honestly worked HARD to CHOOSE the best options where mine WOULD be! :D

[I am honestly even MORE blue in my DL pic.]

Mine turned out to be an internal self-portrait combined with an external one--it looks like the sum of my self: philosophical, medical, all components considered, an image of the inadequately-breathing dead, a way of being honest with myself in regard to my overall health picture, a coping mechanism in its way [just like my nick, I think they make a good match]. ;)

I think that is the BEST way to reflect one's overall look, if one does in fact capture the WHOLE of one's *look*--looking outside AND INSIDE, the honest facts of their lives.

In that sense, I believe my avatar is a declaration that I am at peace with myself, my life, my fate, which is a gift I would wish for anyone on the path to happiness. :)


I think overall the avatar system is fun, light-hearted, and I actually appreciate the somewhat entertaining way to express my more macabre reality. ;)

I mean, where else can you find such a *cute* way to visually express that I have lost my ever-lovin' mind than that pic showing me there holding my head after it's gone and rolled off? ;)

I also appreciate that it gives ALL users the chance to sort through what they value, how they perceive themselves, how they wish to appear vs how they DO actually appear...what they hope to see in the mirror vs reality...whether they like ALL their components...whether they like THEMSELVES...key factors brought to light by your excellent question--THANKS! :D
