Why do Women often Post Sexy-looking Avatars?

Whilst you may have a point I believe the girls I've been liaising with to be real and themselves, they've also posted different pictures of themselves, clearly they could be using another girls profile of facebook or something, but that would be some highly involved deception.

 

What does that have to do with anything

 

Correction, cartoon mutt, making it clearly OK.

 

Fuck now I know why @IGY uses a cartoon owl.

 

I can't speak for men, although there are MANY men here who have pictures of themself, so that last paragraph isn't even relevant. The ratio is different because there are a lot more men here, in general, than women.

But I can answer that first question, at least for myself. When I came back here, I reconnected with an old friend @Lazarus Shuttlesworth, and when I saw that he had himself in his thumbnail I was super proud of him, because I think that's a big step, to be open about who you really are here. So that's part of why I chose a picture of myself rather than some other thumbnail. I'm not ashamed of who I am, what I look like, my problems, etc. Why shouldn't I be allowed to have a picture of myself? Men are allowed to have pictures of themselves, or pictures of other famous men, and many of them are very attractive. I don't see the women here complaining about being triggered. You need to learn how to see a picture of a woman and not freak out.

 

I guess women have bigger balls than men, then, since we're more likely to own up to our identity on this site. But no, let's just assume all they want is attention. There's clearly no other possible reason why a PERSON (not just woman, person) might want to have a photo of themselves as their avatar.

 

@Buzz Lightyear WOW did you just say that.

 

What exactly is shameless, because she happens to be attractive >.< CassTeaElle has many struggles in her life, she's an inspiration if you ask me.

 

I can't tell if this is some kind of backhanded insult, but it is indeed a picture of me. I'm pretty sick of even having to say that, like I'm some deceptive weirdo who used some other girls picture instead of a picture of a flower or something.

Honestly, I couldn't even stomach through half of these comments. The assuumtions and judgements made in this thread are so offensive, far more so than a picture of a woman. Honestly, not gonna lie, I'm super disappointed in my pal Tweeby for half the stuff that was said here. You all are treating women like they're some kind of disgusting creature with only possibly ill intentions. Some of the "possible reasons" you boys have come up with are so ridiculous and outlandish and terrible, and those are seriously the first things that came to mind, when asking yourself why a woman might want a picture of herself on here? You should be ashamed of yourselves, honestly. Do you really think that little of women that you can't think if a single reason to give then the benefit of the doubt and NOT assume that they're all a bunch of attention seeking whores?

 

I do apologise for some of the stuff I implied, I know a lot of the girls here are experiencing ongoing struggles which shouldn't be taken lightly or made fun off.

 

And guess what boys, I haven't gotten any attention from my photo. I've had a few people inbox message me in a way that makes it pretty clear they're only doing that because I'm a woman, and I haven't responded to them. I've very happily married to a great man who makes me feel beautiful everyday. I don't need attention from boys on a porn addiction site.

And even if I did want to feel good about myself by getting a compliment or two, so freaking what. It's not like my boobs are on display or I'm changing my picture every day to keep fishing for compliments. Women are here... they have faces that they might want to put on their avatars. Get over it. If you want to live in a bubble and ever see a woman's picture, good luck with that.
