I'm a criminal justice major. If I'm a police officer one day, I don't want my pic to pop up on this site. It's wrong that it could affect my job, but women have it much harder working in a male-dominated field if they project their sexuality.

Mine is Yuno because she's my spirit animal <3 it's my favorite piece of fanart, hands down. I don't need any family members to find me on here, so I won't be using my own likeness any time soon.

I am in mine. I change mine frequently, usually when I get a good EF lingerie pic I use that

Mine's a tiger I got off a google image search for "tiger avatar", they're pretty much my favorite animals ever so it seemed appropriate.
Eventually I plan on changing it to a picture of me or one I took though.

it's my face, but i'm not proud of my looks at all. quite the opposite, honestly. I just don't care whether people see what I look like or not.

Mine is of me and my husband. I don't mind people seeing what I look like.

Mine is an icon I made. I have thought about changing it, but someone here posted on my wall how much he loved it, and that I should not change it, so I have kept it

If I were a cartoon character, yes. It'd totally be me. I'm basically a big happy purple monster

I guess theres that fear that someone I know in real life would see the image and know that I go on this site.

Yep that spunky looking redhead is definitely my picture

I don't mind people seeing my picture on sites as an avatar usually, and it makes it easier to distinguish my profile out of others with avatars that they got from the stock photos, because you can easily mix people up if they have the same picture!
