The perfect avatar

Such a difficult one to answer as we don't really know each other well outside of the forum, some avatars are really good and some are really disturbing, I never use to have one up until a year or two back but thought I'd like to include one, the Flintstones was one of my favourite cartoons as a child so decided on using Fred as my avatar, he bears no reflection to myself btw
 
Isn't you Avatar Hagar the Horrible's wife? I allways loved that cartoon strip. Also reminds me of the Monty Python spam sketch.

You can't beat a good Viking.
Yes it's true! I have bent my frying pan giving Mr Scandi what for!
My avatar is indeed Helga the horrible!
 

I like him. Fred, that is.

Avatar selection is a weird one, isn't it?
We choose our own avatars, usually before we even start posting.
And they have SUCH an influence on how we are perceived. At least, they influence how I perceive people.
AND we never really understand how others see us... I'm loving Ms Rabbit, but would I have picked her?
Never in a million years...
 

Your new avatar is good Brunneria
 
But admit it! Aren't you having fun?!
 
Aww disappointing!
 
Well @Spiker we need to change yours because every time I look at your avatar I see the look on your face as you stab another needle in. Very disconcerting for all!

I don't "see" anything. I just "hear" Father Jack (aka @Spiker ) yell those words.

Actually, that might just be the voices in my head.
 
Well hello boys...
(Remember the wonder bra adverts?)
This new ID is going to take some getting used to!

You might have to find a low carb recipe for carrot cake now.
 

I'm glad you picked Jessica (Felicity is too )

You are spot on about perception by others, some avatars I like, others I don't and some are just plain neutral . I think most go for neutral initially, then reveal their true selves as confidence grows I started with an avatar photo of a cat of mine (He Who Must Be Obeyed), then switched to my current one because I love the T shirt logo But no doubt I'll get bored and go into disguise at some point

Signy
 




huh? *shrug* lol
 
i like this avatar, i feel it suggests no one should listen to a word i say, therefore giving me freedom to talk nonsense lol which is perfect
 

Hi, just seen this flagged up..
I glad you considered mine capturing my essence.. In reality the pic was taken while I was technically at "work" a. Few months back at a biker rally in Oxford.. Lol

@Heathenlass I'm glad you enlightened me about the tee shirt... I've actually been wondering if that was you wearing it...?

@Spiker s is just quality.. Don't ever change it!
