What is an acceptable desktop for a man? (Or due to responses, what does a REAL man have?)

1. public computer stick with default background or an all black screen
2. private computer use whatever you damn well please, i use a picture of a girl which may or may not be viewed as pornographic(you would be dead wrong if you thought so)
3.Is this computer in your familiys living room or your bedroom? that's a massive distinction between public/private computer for me.

I am a huge fan of Delta Goodrem, one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard and she just so happens to be quite beautiful herself
I change my desktop backgrounds... well, never, and there have never been any women on them, scantily clad or otherwise, so I'm not exactly the best person to ask about the propriety or lack thereof in the selection of such images. Basically I'm just replying now to say "Yay Delta Goodrem!", because she is awesome and I don't often run into folks who have even heard of her.

You can't really go wrong with 40K backgrounds though!

Wait wait wait - animated gifs work as backgrounds?! Seriously? Don't mess with me here! lol
Yeah, I used to have one of a tiny ant crawling on the screen, it was awesome, people used to come and pick at my screen trying to get it.

I've got that picture, except it's an AT-AT, not a cat.
I used to have this as my background:
and I've had this for a while but I might change it soon.
I just stole all three of this pictures from you... thanks! I've been needing a new background, and these are awesome hehe...

on a side note, this is what my desktop was (or at least, just a few minutes ago)

Edit: Manly? Maybe. Nerdy? Most definitely.

Current PS3 wallpaper of Medusa Gorgon from the Soul Eater series. Not much to it as it's a direct screen capture of her from the anime.

Look how pretty it is!
I'm with you on that one.

I'm a forgiving, easy-going type, though, so I wouldn't object much to someone using
this variation on it:

Any hope of a picture of Emma Watson on Megan Fox?

I tend to use video game characters as my background...
Now that I think of it, most of them are robots...
Weird...






This is my most used background, however. Mostly because it's one of my favorite villains from one of the greatest comic series in the history of mankind.

I usually pay no mind to things like sexualization. Its not a "thing" to me. If I wanted sexy ladies on my desktop, I'd put them there. Forget what your mates, your mom, your dad, your grand-ma, your boss (ok, maybe you should listen to him/her), or your lifelong rival have to say. Put what you want to up there.

I used to have that Vanille background on everything and got teased for it by a guy whos desktop background is a picture of Kenpachi Zaraki with his shirt off............. but I think I win that argument.

Current desktop for me is this at the moment, simply because its cool. Anyone who disagrees can "Urusai, Urusai, Urusai!"

My sister actually made it, and I really liked it, so I use it.
You keep your icons on the right? Heathen!
Is that a bad thing? Just took a little getting used to, but I don't really go on my desktop to access programs anyway. All the ones I need are pinned to my start menu.

Used to have a wallpaper of the RuneScape map.

Now I just switched back to the default wallpaper because I got bored of the game.

This is what I've been using for years. It has to be my background, at this point. Anything else feels... wrong.


Tyshea (of deviantart) is awesome.
