Fair enough, but how does using two white bears stand up, when a picture of a person doesn't ? I'm sure people wouldn't give a monkeys hoot if your avatar showed David Beckham. (might complain a bit though )

It all goes way way back to the heady days of 606 this.
And I'm not the kind of person that lets things go easily.

I must confess that I don't look anything like my avatar Yendi Phillips (wrong gender, for starters). I once thought I looked a little like El-Hadji Diouf but now I realise that I look like my Dad.

Why have they got avatars on this site? They obviously cause a lot of trouble for some users. Just because some one has a picture of a famous person doesn't mean they are trying to be someone else. If Jane had a picture of Mickey Mouse would you have a problem with that?
I am not a fat kid with a blue lunchbox (I got a new shiny red one last week), and the slogan on my t-shirt isn't strictly true (I don't go on dates)

Like i said bud, it all dates back to long ago when a particular poster used to use random pictures of Ukrainian soft-porn models and say it was them. (it wasn't)
so it's a long standing forum curiosity when someone has a picture and says its them.
obviously i don't think everyone is their avatar, I'm not retarded and i couldn't care less what people have, but it does perk my interest when someone pretends to be the oposite sex on a forum, with a full backstory and randomly acquired picture from a motorbike forum.

Why does something like that perk your interest? Are you weird?

No, I just wonder about the person who is sitting behind the keyboard doing it.
I think people study it, Psychology.
I'm not weird at all, but the person doing that might be.

Might it not just be something that is simply done in fun?
Eddie Izzard wears dresses - and he's funny -
Paul O'Grady used to play a drag character - Lily Savage -
And Brendan O'Carroll plays the 'mammy' in Mrs Browns Boys -
I just see Natasha as a 'character' just as I see the three above as no more than characters - if there really is anything deeper in meaning to it - then I'm either too blind to see it or it simply does not bother me.

It's not hurting anyone, and i've said why i've mentioned it. I find it a bit odd thats all, it's just an opinion.
clearly I'm on the wrong side of the fence so to speak. I'm not trying to spoil anyones fun, and I'm sorry if i have.

It's a forum and it's good (imo) that people can speak out and question things - it is not being done in a nasty way or anything.
I think it will be a bad day if people don't speak out for fear of upsetting the status quo (as in 'the current view' rather than the band!).
I know of other forums where people feel intimidated to speak against the crowd - we certainly don't want that ever to be the case on here.
Hipster’s view is valid and he need not apologise for making it to anyone.

Was it an adult dating site? I'm guessing you met this Ukranian pornstar and she turned out to be a (male) Ukranian shot putter.

When I first joined BA, in my naivety I posted a pic of myself. Wast too long in taking it down. I have been told by 2 seperate guys that without my glasses on I look like Davina McCall. Im not a big fan of hers but to be honest these guys had beer goggles that would have given Magoo's a fun for their money!
I probably look like Mrs Brown
