i only joined jub after a really traumatic exp around 5 months ago tottaly new
and naive. A well meaning more exp jubber gave me a word of warning not to use a real picture of myself and he did give what i thought were really valid and atleast a couple of times scary points so i picked an avatar that was not me.
Then i dont know how it happened i got chatting to a guy online and because of the time difference i would set my alarm fot 3am avary night and we would just talk about so many things this went on night after night and how it happened when i think it was the last thing on both our minds i dont know but that dreaded phrase starting to develop feelings for each other kicked in like a bitch. So i sent him my real photo because i had come to trust this lovely guy. The message he sent me back was fuck off you lied to me.idont want to have no avatar up but i still dont want to put up my own picture. Does anyone have any advice as i feel that because of my stupidity i lost the friendship and maybe more of an amazing man,thanx.medic1
 
Just pick an avatar of something that isn't a person. Let's just say very few people think that's me to the left there. :)

thanx fof such a quick response do you know of any sites where i could pick something sorry not the best when it comes to comps. Again thanx m8
 
Yeah!! just use an avatar of an orange if you want. But using a pic of someone that is not you is just silly.
google images of stuff you like or that have a meaning for you. Or even a funny picture,
 
Not offhand, but it's not too hard to make your own. Let me walk you through one. It actually takes longer to list the steps than to actually do, so don't freak out too much. Besides, it's kind of fun. :) Let's say you like sailboats, and you'd like to have a sailboat as your avatar.

1. Go to Google.com.
2. Click on the word "images" near the upper left corner.
3. Type the word "sailboat" in the space provided, and hit enter.
4. On the left side of the screen, look for the word "icon". Click on that.
5. This will bring up a bunch of pictures of sailboats that are the size of avatars. Scroll through and find one you like.
6. When you find one you like, right click on it, and choose "Save Image As". Save it somewhere on your computer where you can find it easily.
7. Now, anytime you're asked to pick an avatar, choose "Browse", and choose that saved picture.

Let me know if you can make that work.

well as long as you didn't say or pretend the person in the avatar is you, this is kinda a dick move from said person.
but also shows their true colors .. after all you were "just" talking without ever having met .. it seems he was in love with your image .. time to move on :) as long as you didn't lead him on or lied to him, you are not the stupid person.
 
hey there corny thank you for your message we have spoke before when my lover of years was killed in Afghanistan. You were very kind and your words did help and here you are again ,thanx my friend. Adam
 
Lex as you can see it worked like a dream thanx for all your kindness and help take care. Adam
 
it's quite simple just avoid using another man as your avatar, and if you want to make it clear is not you if another person asks. As someone said before if you never lied about it, the other person is the one who the stupid word fits better. I do use a picture of my own but that doesn't mean everybody does, it's just silly to assume a person's avatar may be him/herself.
