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?












Wow those are some fapulous pics ^_^

It seems like each one was created to scare off single women better than the last one.
Nail, Head, Hammer, my friend. xD

Forget women, I'd be wary of the guy too :p But that's cause I'm not into that sort of thing (Anime etc)

Photoshop e-peen on each anime girl and voila! Futanari! Guaranteed to scare off any guy or girl, or my name isn't Reginald T. Scrufflebottom!
I doubt thats your name anyways.

I'd definitely feel somewhat insufficient, if the woman of my dreams had half-naked, muscular oiled male models as her desktop wallpaper.

Well, to each their own, but I doubt you're going to score any points with most girls from those pictures.
I personally prefer something a bit more neutral as my desktop picture, but I'm also the kind of person who keeps my porn stash hidden under several layers of misleadingly named directories and folders, even though I have a password on my computer and my girlfriend knows I have porn on it.
Anything relating to my sexual interests will usually be under wraps, that doesn't really concern the rest of the world.
Of course, its debatable whether these pics relate to your sexual interests or not. But insist they don't and be called a liar for it ;)

Really? On the internet? This? I mean, compared to some of the fucked up shit this place has in the basement (That is, the internet, not the Escapist specifically) this looks like Whinnie the Freakin' Pooh.
Uhmm... please clarify?

You live a very sheltered life, don't you?

If the girl likes anime, these are cool, if not, you need a better girl.
And here you are, necroing a months old thread.
I didn't, the person before me did, I just went along.
You use a lot of excuses, don't you?
I post based off of the latest posts section. I don't go looking to necro threads.

Nice way of skipping around the original question, btw.
You really want me to answer that, don't you?

Oh my God, look over there! A bear!

I can understand how these might be taking the wrong way. Unless the girl is an anime fan, you'll probably come off a pervy loser to most girls

Why, sure.

Let's see....Off the top of my head?

2 Chicks, 1 Cup, the Offended Page of Encyclopedia Dramatica, most animated "hentai" pornography, especially those involving strange creatures, tentacles, and any combination thereof, (as far as I'm concerned) anything involving furries, (from what I've heard) almost anything involving 4chan, animated "fan-fiction" porn (The Simpsons, Harry Potter, most Disney movies...You know what? Let's just change that to "Rule 34", which states that anything can be made into porn. No exceptions.) and Fred.

I think making a point with your desktop that you don't care about your desktop and are using the computer merely as a tool would be what to expect from a real man.

After all, there's more important shit.

Yes, but even I understand the importance of the first impression. If I needed to say, borrow a book later on, having a generally good impression of me circulating around would be much help there.

Depends where you want your icons (if any/much) you want to put them. None of them are any good for a wallpaper not because it's anime but becasue theres no part of the screen clear for your icons. If I had to choose from those I would take one of the first two for the icons in the top middle or top left.

I don't know how to take a picture of my desktop to show that Icon placement is not an issue, but it isn't.

why does everyone think this is so odd? It's more normal than the stuff i'm into...

Then again, my wallpaper's just this...
which says more about me being a fan of the character than a fan of the character's body.

Also, I could never really understand why so many people pick girls in Bikinis as their desktops, wouldn't that be rather....distracting?
