I find it interesting that many people choose avatars with a different gender than themselves. Often this is paired with a user name that could be either male or female.

I generally assume someone is the same gender as their avatar, if their avatar has an obvious gender, but I am often wrong.

My av, looks like the dude is hanging from a tentacle by the divine mercy of the alien overlord.

Actually I've always thought of having a gorgeous female av but I changed my mind when I created a too feminine dark elf character on world of warcraft that got hit on by every second dork. I decided best to stay true to the male persona.

Naked psychedelic ladies with guns for the win!

Or something....

Frankly, I just like looking at a man. I'm a girl but I don't like broadcasting it all the time.

I think she is wearing panties. There is an ever-so-slight panty-line indentation on her butt, which, incidentally, must mean she does not have a butt so tight you can bounce quarters off it.

Well, quarters really are the measure of a psychedelic profile woman's firmness quotient. I think you may be settling for second best.

I am Polybius. I may have existed, I may not have existed. I give people amnesia, night terrors, and insomnia. Sometimes, I get people to kill themselves. The love to play me, they have to play me. You have to play me. Press start...

I think the fact that mine changes quite often says more about me than any one of the avatars I've used.

It's like buying a new car. I could never buy a brand new one, because the agony of choice as to which colour to have? Ugh! I'd never be able to pick one because I'd know that regardless of what I picked, I'd hate it in a month's time and really be mad at myself for choosing it. But if I get a second-hand one, colour is irrelevant - I'm only concerned about the performance and condition of the thing, the colour is a mere accident. And I can easily just accept whatever colour I end up with by accident.

If there was a rule that I had to have one, and I couldn't change it, then I reckon the one I'm likely to feel out of touch with the least often would be the ol' Q one :)

Actually no, it'd be Masaaki Sakai (aka Monkey), if not for the fact that JJJ got to him before me and now everyone totally thought I was him when I used a totally different Monkey avatar for a while. Even though Monkey is like the poster-character for ENTP's and I've been his like, number one fan since I was about six! :mad:

I don't have an avatar so as to draw attention to myself - as I am the only one.

Or is it that the Bible warns against graven images - so I limit myself to text.

But really - and here I instinctively put my hand to my chest to protect my heart - I want someone to give me or make me an avatar. i don't care who or what it is - as long as you give it to me.

This is not so silly as you gave me, quite freely, my personality type, INTJ, and two posters called Victor - so why not an avatar?

I decided to change my avatar.
Ronald McDonald shows my love for corporations and greasy fast food. :D
But I'm not fat, I promise.. Ronald McDonald isn't fat either.
