Icons Vs. People behind them

Powermad147 · (#1 (**permalink**))

Peoples icons always have a large affect on the way I see the person. Thats why I always make sure I know what feeling my icon gives off ^^. I feel like my icon has an air of understanding and timid kindness, which I hope resembles me as a person in some way. But sometimes these things clash. MMM is an understanding and helpful guy, but in his pick he isn't smiling, and agaisnt my better judgement thats always made me see him in a more aggresive light. Just like with ML, her old icon gave off a playful sort of look, and the new one is more calm and subtle, and I feel like I'm seeing two different people. I don't quite understand why it changes things so much for me, but it does. Does anyone else see things this way?

You do know that the guy in MMM's icon isnt him xD

I know ^_^. But just like everything else, the image still affects me...It's because its the only thing I've ever known him as. In other words, if his first image I had seen was a big, cuddly teady bear, I would think of MMM in a totally different way =P.

Oh okay, cause most people think his icon is a picture of him xD

Well, I dont think too much about people's icons. I just think of them as pictures >_>

You really think he looks agressive???? well to me his Icon makes him more like a dad figure, then peace it together he sounds like an old man. ^_^

I thought about changing it, but then it would be kinda like getting plastic surgery...

He's not exactly NOT smiling... but I don't think it looks aggressive.

i kinda agree with powermad, i judge ppl from their pic.
