No. My observation is that people either put the best or the latest.

I just picked the one which showed off my face the best and most clearly. It's not like I have much to choose from at the moment.

This is true!  And what most of have been saying.

I don't like the red hairdo, but that doesn't make it bad.  Just means I don't care for it.

I am so tempted to point out the people, but I wont. I don't think anyone here but maybe three or four people read what I actually wrote. Their not styles I don't like. I don't really like goth fetish stuff, for instance, but that's not what I'm talking about at all. just bad, that's it. Other people have sometimes even left comments saying the same things but mostly it's the lack of comments when the rest of their stuff is greatly praised that I don't understand. That's it. I just don't understand. that's all I'm saying. we should share honestly and openly to help others even when it's hard to hear.

Don't take this personal...

Shut off your computer. Take a walk in the park. Read a good book. Call some relatives and tell them how much you love them. Rent some good movies, and gorge yourself on some sausage pizza...

Posting on MM just isn't working for you today...

There's always tomorrow...

LOL.  You were encouraged to be honest and you were!  smile

sounds really good, I honestly didn't mean to piss anyone off. Just commenting. I thought we could maybe discuss something other than short models or escorts, I guess not.

We read it, but you are not hearing almost all of us.  You just don't like the responses. NO ONE cares about the avatars.  There are a LOT of things in life you will never understand and that is because no 2 people think alike.  YOU may not understand it but the person who chose that particular avatar DID.  So what if it is 'crappy'?  It isn't my port!!!  Yours, either.  I am concerned with my own, no one else's.

Either way, it's still a matter of personal perspective.

I guess I don't understand because I like people being concerned with the wellness of my port and my success. I am doing what I would like to be done for me.

Ok, you're not hearing it.... what's good for you or looks best for you, doesn't exactly translate to other people.

I don't think your avatar is your best shot.

Different opinions.

And other people may think the same way.  You cannot presume to know how everyone else thinks.  YOU think your pics are good and post them.  So do THEY! Those same people you are ragging on  may think your avatar looks like shit, too.

Don't bother.... I just don't think she will listen unless someone says, "Of course, I know exactly what you mean, their avatars look horrible."

It's that agree with me all the time attitude that just doesn't fit into reality.

I think regardless of the avatar a model chooses she or he should have a proper head-shot somewhere in their port. Too many have shots with crazy makeup and special photo shop effects which is fine, but a clear head-shot or portrait is important so people could see what you look like.

Just tell everyone who you were talking about,
and I'm sure everyone will side with you.

No, please don't. For your own sake! Trust me on this.
