Do you think of DUers looking like their avatars?
I do. For instance, when I think if JohnKleeb, I think of Dennis Kucinich.

So, my question is, do I risk having people think of me looking like John Lennon because of my avatar? Not that that would be bad, necessarily. I'm just curious...:eyes:

Maybe I should just dye my hair blonde ;).

21. Dude, you don't look a thing like him
You might think like him, but internet communication works in strange ways, people attach faces to other people they've never seen before.

31. Nope, I'm still thinking that the last photo you posted
makes you look distinctly like Tobey McGuire. And that's maybe not such a bad thing.

But if you really want to try the blonde thing, do it while you're still quite young. That way if it looks weird you can still reclaim some residual cool based on it's being trendy. If you try that stuff when you're 50, you'd better be a rock star or you're just going to look like an arse.

3. sometimes
I kinda wish the admins would allow custom avs, but it's understandable that they don't.

FTR, I look nothing like Amelia Earhart, and I don't photograph in sepia tones.

17. No
and I don't look like Spongebob. A lot of times when I make a post, I look at Spongebob and then read what I wrote and think I really should change my avatar. Maybe that's why I don't get many replies - no one takes me seroiusly. But I like Spongebob.
