My Background

Some time ago, someone came into my room to borrow a textbook. While in my room, they commented on my background. "That's kind of cool, but don't you think girls would find that kind of weird?"

Admittingly, women don't spend a whole lot of time in my room (in my 2 years at college, women have come into my room a total of 4 times, for no more than 10 minutes each, usually to borrow something or to find out the details/advice on a homework assignment), but it got me to thinking; when they have come in, my laptop is usually close or asleep. Now I'm not one to go and close my laptop when someone is coming, but it got me to thinking; if a woman saw my background(s), what kind of impression could that create?

So, being the most forum I know of (and the one where I'm certain nothing too....odd will happen), I figured I'd ask here. There isn't anything NSFW here, but you might get a few odd looks depending on workplace/home sensibilities. Also, I'll only put up the ones that I think might get questioned; since I doubt Bad Company 2 or Crysis backgrounds would get more than an "Oh, its a guy thing".

And before you ask, I use Windows 7, so thats why there are multiple images.

So what do you think?

It seems like each one was created to scare off single women better than the last one.

Yeah if women saw that they'd probably not think "Oh it's a guy thing." Something more along the lines of "What a perv."

I must say that made me laugh. Also it is pretty much what I would say too.

One and 3 you could get away with. 2 also but all the witch blade ones yeah no. Not happening those creep me out in the weird clothing choice. Don't get me wrong i can respect you for it and i understand fetishes but that is just odd.

The Love Hina WP, is probably the most girly of the bunch, and the one I like most...Probably because, I have something similar on MY background.

From a girls perspective. I don't mind. My on and off again boyfriend has similar backgrounds on his laptop and I'll sit there and watch them rotate through. My backgrounds on my computer are usually just photos I've taken though sometimes I'll throw in an anime picture til I get bored of it. It really depends on the girl.

Edit: Also, I am so stealing some of those backgrounds once I get back home on my computer.

There are no better words to describe my thoughts on the backgrounds.
Although, I have to say, most guys I know would find that a bit weird too, but that just might be because we have different friend-groups.

I can definitely see those being taken the wrong way. Maybe something more wholesome, like... a waterfall.

Alright, since you've had the strongest response so far, I must ask you; why?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's because of all the scantily clad, busty, cartoons. Just a guess.
