Use of MisLeading Images. What is your opinion? NovaTx?

Whispers's Avatar
I can admit to being interested in the face behind a Provider that does not post Face Pictures. I think most are.

So I noticed that Novatx recently changed her Avatar and a Face with a similar Hair Style is now her Avatar.

Now I am not as up on Media Figures and did not recognize the face and I think the avg Joe would male the assumption that it was her.

And it is not...

So what do YOU think about similar ads..... where pics are used and people led to believe one thing and later find it is not accurate....

In another thread Novatx seemed to take a stance against misleading pics or at least understanding the concept....

So she should have her pix photoshopped or something?
I'm sure many guys appreciate her honesty. Originally Posted by Novatx

Come on seriously? That's not me it's Lady Gaga. Anyone knows that
Members are allowed to use any image that doesn't violate the image posting standards as avatars (be it misleading or not).
Also, before this, i had Jodi Arias' photo as my avatar. Does that mean that I was being misleading?

We are allowed to have any photo as our avatar, doesn't have to be us! As long as it's not in the showcase. And most who know me know that I do not and will not ever post a face pic here. There are many providers who choose to use alternative avatars (and I'm not calling anyone out).

So what? I'm a big Lady Gaga fan.

I'm new to the forums....

I understand that you are ALLOWED to mislead people with other pics. Not a practice I personally agree with.....

before I asked the question I asked a couple of others what they thought and their assumption was along the same as mine.....

What is the avg age of your clients?

I am sure MANY older men around here have the same image in their mind I have in mine when they hear "Lady GaGa".... Outlandish, gaudy outfits, over sized glasses..... blonde mostly.....

I think it is fairer to say that more will assume that you are the girl pictured than will know that is a picture of Lady GaGa.....

At my age teenagers are 20 years in my past...... Through a strange twist of fate I do have a 5yo at home and if you were using a picture of ANY of the dragons from the How to Train your Dragon series I would have been on it.

It's a relevant question though.....

Some people fail to do proper research and assume far too many things. An avatar is just a window into your personality. A showcase is a portfolio of what you really look like. I'm quite sure whispers looks nothing like a pink and green race car. I may look like a monkey though.

If there are no face pics in the showcase, why would a provider show it in the avatar?

Does it *really* matter?

But an online definition says,

1.
Hindu Mythology . the descent of a deity to the earth in an incarnate form or some manifest shape; the incarnation of a god.
2.
an embodiment or personification, as of a principle, attitude, or view of life.
3.
Digital Technology. a graphical image that represents a person, as on the Internet.


I have no doubt that some who have met her would say she is a godess
She definitely the embodiment and personification of principal and full of attitude ( double )

Now you have argument with the digital visual representation of a person. *BUT* she choses certain characteristics of such that show a slice of herself.

I won't bring up rodent cells and such from further descriptors since the first three fit what is being addressed.

IMO, you don't have an argument according to the online definition I found.

I don't think she is misleading anything.

From the way you sound to *me*, you seem to want the women on this board to expose who they are by showing themselves. Isn't that against one of the guidelines of keeping members safe?

Maybe both of us need to learn how to get a grip of the english language and use it to better convey what we mean.

Ok... That's all you needed to say....

Many women expose themselves..... I was not suggesting she do so nor condoning that she does not..... It's her choice...... Personally I won't book with a lady that does not provide a face pic.... That is my choice.....

The thread is not about those choices....

I think you understand me fine and simply choose to try to spin things in a different direction and have not learned yet how futile the attempts are....

.Thanks for playing though Precious..... You serve a purpose for me and I need you to know you are appreciated....

"just enough"?

Than my last sentence is one we need to take more to heart.

Especially since I used a literal definition to compare against. My only fault on that would be that I didn't use the OED version, the definitive source of the English language.

And... no, thank you. You served a purpose for the members of this community.
How you assume people to understand things without giving sufficient body and weight to things.

I'll reiterate that the use of my last sentence in the first reply to this thread should be done by all.

So Whispers, you're telling me that you're a pink race car with a number 7 on it?? I don't see how you're able to type so much crap if you don't have any hands or fingers....
