Should I change?




I am considering changing my image. Well, just my profile picture actually. I could use a little help with that. You see, I have never been good with decisions like this. So, here are my current choices...












They are: Desperado Doug, Brilliant Idea, and Innocent Me.

Or, I can keep the one I have which I like to call Old Fart.

Old fart is cool. but trim the beard to a short goatee and update the glasses and you will be a chick magnet. That's my opinion, hope I didn't offend.

pacehi, Douglas.

I don't like old pictures for display pictures, but I sometimes will use my childhood photos. But not for long periods.

I say, get a recent photo but don't make your face completely visible, like get a side-view, or catch the glare off a pair of 3-D glasses. ;)

I say Innocent Me if you really want a choice.

Michael.

Have you got an x-ray? That would be good.

Otherwise, you can't go wrong with a big hat and a beard. Look at Santa.

The image is only one aspect of the person--of course a nice hat is always a plus.

Personally? I REALLY like the kid photo. It conveys a spirit of optimism and immediately makes one smile.

Ok, a nice range of thoughts and input. Maybe I will rotate my mug shots on an random basis...

Douglas, you are too funny. I keep changin mine and was going to say rotate them. Once again, you beat me to my own idea!

Douglas said...

Alan - I am hiding in a deep, unused, crevice of your brain.

MPH - Faye says I am not allowed to be a "chick magnet". At my age it would be more like an "old hen magnet", anyway.

Linda - I have given up aging, it just adds wrinkles and bags under my eyes (though I seemed to have them in "Innocent Me").

Douglas, keep the old fart, don't trim the beard it attracts the wrong sort of girls. I have much better success with a full beard.
