The choice of an avatar is a serious issue.
It is a statement to the world about how you wish to be perceived.
...tell us a little about yourself.
Do you want it to reflect your stated profession?
Do you want newbies to have to wonder what it is you do?
Perhaps it could reflect your stated hammock clothing preference? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eH_XyqbidOM/Sw2DOFU2kHI/AAAAAAAABzE/6eYr9svmxdc/s1600/banana.jpg
many people choose a favorite pet.
others choose something related to their board name (for example, Mamacita's is a female, spanish advertising icon)
...we need some more to go on. -
Or you can just put an actual picture of yourself. Like me.

^ There appears to be a strange red glare appearing over that first image...perhaps they didn't get the flash right or something. 8-[
-
whoops, didn't notice that until you mentioned it. Aforementioned "first image" deleted.
I'd really like some more input from KWAC before we go on.
...to many images of cops, good and bad out there. Chief Wigum of the Simpsons is too predictable. -
I do like the telly savalas, very much. KOJAK BABY!!
or Magnum PI?
or a little Sledge Hammer??!! Pleeesz!!!

Chief O'Hara in the original Batman TV show allows us to stay with NYC as a location.

How about one of those snazzy Cushmans with "Intercepter III" engines?
those are hot.
Are you good friends with Paraderest? You could be Andy....

here's a crown without a king

how about a chess reference?
little known professional wrestler?
you gotta help us out.... we need some direction -
-
Aww don't be so obvious, the Victor thing was funny because it didn't take itself too seriously. He needs a more covert image.
-
come on baby, give in to the porn stash of serpico!

Hah, Mama....I just figured I'd post a few that weren't making fun. Got bored of looking for more tv/film characters. These are just a bit more anonymous and/or abstract than the ones I just posted above. Sorta.

This is getting interesting and I thought no one even checks out this Board
-
hmmm, he's reading, but still not giving us much direction
religous?
rap?
wildlife? ...a lion, king of the jungle
renn fair?

how about this guy? ...he is getting a crown, but lacked one before this
Elvis "the king" is always a favorite among the older women...
are you an old guy?
Re: the prior conversation.
Is this how women experience you?

In this version, you are less scary. Some women go fo the happy and furry kinda kings.

you could at least use this one around Halloween.
...hey, maybe you could change your avatar every season, kinda like how they decorate Tom's on Washington?
someone else's turn.... -
I think I know why he wasn't spotted spotting everyone out on midnight rides...
-
...sometimes marginalized groups find it empowering to embrace the terms used derisively to describe them, and make them their own. (Ex. the gay movement's successful ownership and redefinition of the word "queer").
It would also utilize one of my favorite posts of KWAC's, which was something along the lines of : "How is it that you are pissing in public, and I'm the one getting called a pig?"
Using this school of thought, this would be sort of abstract, yet give him a cuddly and soft image. ...helping him with his stated goal of scoring with the ladies.
It might not be enough to overcome the hammock problem. -
whynot....or one with teeth, perhaps
-
Ponch from CHiPS!

Mamacita always has a thing for the spanish guys.
Clearly it is time for the women of the board to weigh in...
First some background:
Longtime poster KWAC believes that his current Victor avatar may be partly to blame for his ongoing singleness. However, he does seem to have some understanding (albeit limited) that his ongoing preference for wearing a "hammock sling" may be an inhibiting factor in effectively sending out the message that he prefers women.
Which of the above avatar's do you think would help him out with his image problem the most? Do you have another avatar idea that you think might help?
....with our help, he could become as hot as the guys on Em's thread.
