Do you draw conclusions about what a person might look/act like in real life because of their avatar?

I sometimes do this. When I read a comment that Cain has posted, I always picture a sexy chicka that goes with it. When I read items Irene has posted, for some reason, I always picture her at her computer smoking a cigarette. I have no idea why, I don't even know if she smokes.

I have no idea what to picture when it comes to Bill, since he's changing his avatar all the time. When Kate would post, I would always picture an angry older woman with short hair. Gambler, I picture a happy-go-lucky guy that always has a smile on his face.

I'll post more as I think of them.

Depends on the avatar and i picture Bill as being 80 years old yes this 80 year old Bill and i picture Romkey as being Bill's brother and Aquawolfy she is 20 years old

Bill i see him as being 80 years old and smoking cigars and you Moviesnob i would guess your about 25 years old and
very shy

Not at all.................... For example, Iseult only has avatars of books, but you could not derive from this, that she is such a hottie!!!.........

This was kinda my point, like I said about Iseult......Looking at your avatar (I am guessing its your dog?) maybe fun-loving, affectionate? and again who could guess your such a hottie too?

Gambler, I picture a happy-go-lucky guy that always has a smile on his face. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,actually thats not far from the truth *smile*

I don't feel I'm very shy. I just don't talk a lot on the Internet, as I don't usually have very strong opinions on things, and I don't usually like to add to conversations if I don't feel I have something worthwhile to say.

Yeah it's my dog, but I need to update it, he's not a puppy anymore.

I'm actually deriving my opinion of you from your posts and such - if I did it from your avatar I would think a corporate man that makes lots of money, or a mafia dude! :D

Yup.

No I don't.

Sometimes.

totally

Not really, I only get a vague idea about what I might act like because of my avatar. Lately I've been...

never mind.

But a really good survey you created and i do not blame you for not talking a whole lot on the internet you take care!!

It depends on the avatar


It also helps to get to know the user behind the avatar, sometimes I think people do attempt to project their personality out in the form of an avatar. Take me for example I have a avatar of a dog, alot of things could be read into that, (I am a dog!) but really my avatar is my way of keeping my daughter alive in my life and mind. KC (or Casey was how it was spelled) was my pet for thirteen years and my constant companion. So my avatar reflects me in a indirect way but I can see how it reflects me because I want to be thought of as a big old friendly puppy dog, playful, faithful, loyal, with just enough mischief to keep things interesting.

Sometimes...it depends on the avatar.

Not at all, if one could, then people might have assumed that I am a Hispanic lady with big boobs (until just recently when I changed it to the silhouetted soldier).

Ha! ......... or a Gambler?

No.

Yeah, I have a resounding image of BIll as a giant doughnut sitting at a PC.

And I want to eat him.

Hi! ...but, are you aware that I'm 80 years old?

Yeah, especially if it's an avatar of them. Otherwise I might just get ideas about them..like interests and hobbies..

Yes, her words and personality are as sexy as her avatar. Take for instance my avatar currently....I hope no one actually thinks this is me.I look more like Ren or Stimpy.
Sometimes I do imagine their avatar reflects them physically, don't know why.

I've been fooled

If the avatar has their picture, then yes.

Is the avatar a picture of themselves? (I have one like that on AnswerBag.) If not, no. Until I've seen the person for myself, their face is a blank with a question mark. It is not in my nature to assume.
