Interesting observation, given that several men on this forum have avatars of younger men or celebrities too.
Remember when the forum used the other software, and we had default avatars? I used the Eva Habermann avatar, because I thought it conveyed sympathetic understanding and interest in a conversation. Unlike many here, I am very open about my avatar and even explain it on my profile.
I didn't choose it from the very limited selection of avatars simply because Eva Habermann was younger than I was. I am proud of my age. I am one of the very few women here who does NOT dye her hair and knock herself out trying to look younger than she is.
I have tried numerous times to change my avatar, but the pleas that result from male members of the forum touch my heart so I always return to Eva.
But since you object, how about this avatar?
