This isn't meant to be a troll thread, as I am legitimately curious here and have always wondered why guys do this. I see guys not only on this forum but almost every other forum I go to have some random model as a signature or maybe even a "sexy" avatar/GIF file and I'm just wondering why? I mean we get it, you're a heterosexual male, so are the majority of us here, so what's the purpose of it all? One sports forum I go to actually decided to ban all "babe" sigs and avatars because it was getting so out of control.

Because we like looking at them, I guess.

Some are just attracted or are fans of said babe.
Man, the day FAN puts a ban on babe sigs/avatars is the day this whole forum would revolt and burn FAN to the ground.
And I'll stand back and watch the whole thing unfold while laughing maniacally.

Even though I really don't get why guys do it being a red blooded male it doesn't bother me so it did seem a bit unnecessary to take it that far and ban the things. |

I keep signatures turned off. They are big, take up space, and it makes it look bad if I happen to be on here at work and there's a bunch of ladies on the screen.

Not so much the sigs making me look bad, so much as they take up a lot of space and make pages load slower. |

I had to turn sigs off because of it. It's bad though because I had to start taking avatars off too. I miss the pictures, but so much naked lady isn't acceptable in public when I'm on my computer.

I guess the same reason we women have men on ours. ;D
It doesn't bother me in the least. If it makes the guys happy, I say go nuts (just don't make them too big)!

I must admit, I find them irritating. It makes it harder to browse the forum in public, and honestly? If I want to see naked/near-naked women, there are better options available on the internet than people's signatures.

I was trying to spread the leotard/one piece swimsuit love to other men, and I thought if other women saw my sig, it would urge them to wear them more.
This was a serious answer.

Yup I personally hate going through here in public with the "babes" in little clothing. Thought I don't think banning them will be smart either. |

I'll add that I don't have a problem with them being allowed. I wish i could see all of them. Maybe I'll start another profile for public use.
How about Kindghidorah? Is that name taken?

If it makes you feel better, my signature is always Pittsburgh area sports related.

The OP doesn't even HAVE an avatar or a sig. He doesn't understand the struggle of those who do! he's obviously out of touch and must be cast out of the forum to preserve it's ideologies.

Because I want to. Though I have been sig free for awhile now and must admit its quite liberating. I could see me going avatar free, as well.

It can be really irritating. We get it, you watch guys pretend fight in their underwear and you're not gay. You ain't in high school, don't have to prove nothing.
