Do people's avatars make a difference to how you see them?

I think variety is a good thing, I love to see all the different avatars on MFP. I change mine from time to time and I guess others do too. Don't think it makes a ha'peth of difference whether it's a photo of yourself or a cartoon. Vive la difference!0

I have a body-shot avatar because I finally reached a 'normal' BMI and I'm trying to see myself as others might and not as the chubby woman I've always been. Getting rid of that fat mentality is hard!
I take others' avatars as an indication of their personality. I love seeing all the fun, whimsical choices people make and I have friended people just because their avatar appealed to me.
This is me and I expect everyone else to put a photo of themselves as well.
:laugh: They don't have an ounces setting!!0 -
I definitely dont judge based on what people look like, but I do like the recognition of knowing whose on the board. Mine is a pic of me. I was feeling wicked hot that day, so i used it. Give me a week or two, and it will probably be a kitty picture
i realize you probably feel super wicked hot the day you take that pic, but i already got a warning for typing the word, nevermind showing a pic.0 -
When I friend someone, I like to know what they really look like. I don't care for the people who ONLY have pictures of random people or things up...I'd rather you at least have ONE picture of yourself! After I know what you look like, doesn't matter what body type, race, or creed, they can put a picture of the Easter bunny up for all I care.
I like my friends list to be personal, and to match a name with a face! :flowerforyou:0 -
Makes no difference to me which picture people choose to have up!0

I actually like real pictures and I enjoy watching my friends slim down, bulk up etc... as they accomplish their goals!!! It's inspiring and it helps me continue to feel motivated as well.0

I don't have any problems with people's avatars, it says something about who they are.
I am always looking for new friends, feel free to add me0 -
Doesn't matter to me as long as they are not extremely offensive :happy:0

I think yes,
but I do have my normal avatar tattooed on my chest .... a Grim reaper, and the avatar my wife was using when we met tattooed next 2 it. lol,,,,a She-devil.0 -
I get used to someone's avatar- if its a graphic that I come to associate with them or their face or its just a fun different pic for a couple days- thats cool- i dont care- its fun to switch things up. But when someone has zero pictures of themselves... it can hinder me from attempting to get to know them, because they already put a wall between us. shrug. just my humble-pinion.0

Not so much in how I see them - but almost certainly in how I respond. No picture at all makes it difficult for me to want to respond, things other than the person tend to make me respond more slowly. But a picture of the person will almost always get a response - I don't care what the weight or anything else is, I guess I just like seeing who I'm talking to!0

I like looking at people's real pictures. I'm a horse girl, so if, say, someone has a picture of a horse in their pic, I'll generally add them. There are people I just look at their pic and go "Wow. You look great!" And send a friend request so I can hear about what they're doing to keep lookin so good! And the people who aren't skinny, I'm right there with em-I'll add them too so I have another person who appreciates the effort of trying to slim down. What can I say, I like most people?0
