Should I change my avatar and signature thingies to something a little more grown-up?

How do people perceive me by them?
Do y'all think I'm childish?
And why do I keep getting perverts come into myspace and places assuming I'm a kid fit for grooming just coz all my pages are teddy bears, lovehearts, rose petals etc?
Do I need to pretend I'm a proper grown-up and post yucky grown-up stuff?
