    (for those interested, this thread was split from this other discussion

    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.

    ^ 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    ...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.

    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.
