I think they may have left avatars the way they are because of simple cost analysis of changing it versus the demand. There may also be a contractual binding to the present avatar system. Although you may spend your time and creativity making your yahoo avatar unfortunately you do not own it.\n\nI agree that the present avatars are limited and full figured avatars would be fun. It would be simple enough to ad larger formatted clothing or even fleshy accessories to the existing system for extra curves. I just now thought it up, :)\n\nThe true meaning of avatar isn't dependant on shape but rather on style. If you feel that a plus sized avatar is needed you might want to add it as a suggestion for yahoo. http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/avatar/cgi_feedback on the #4 selection click on (suggestion / feedback -avatars)

size doesn't matter (with in reason), they must be cute (i think everyone is in their own way), natural looking make-up            (not to thick), they would have to smile alot, to make it alot easier i like a girl that looks normal and natural

cool, you look very pretty then, avatars are supposed to be physical features of who you are, especially facial features and hair wise

As actresses and models get thinner and thinner, the media always comments on how wonderful they look. Our youth thinks that the thinner they become, the better they will look too. What our young girls are unaware of is how many of these actresses and models have eating disorders, are airbrushed to look perfect, and are not always healthy. \nFinally, last month during Fashion Week in Europe, models were sent home for being too thin. I think that sent a great message.

To assume that every girl who is labled as a "computer geek" is necessarily different than any other girl would be inaccurate.\nNo two avatars are alike, and one may differ from the rest.\nNever know, maybe your avatar is the one sought after...

Because their avatar isn't really making a question or answering anything. They can be known by what they want; I think...as long as it's not vulgar.

I know what you mean. I feel the same way. The outfits for girls are getting smaller and smaller, and so are they. It just doesn't seem right, the world makes it seem like a certain type is beautiful, but in reality beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Thanks for the 2 points. I feel like you know me.

I love that the guys that have answered this question all have really happy faces on their avatars.\nBut anyway, I agree that it's unattractive. Maybe they're just trying to look tough.

thats true! its quite funny that they wear clothes like that! its not just that only slim people should wear tights and over weight shouldnt, but its just that tight clothes are for people who have good figures! even very thin girls shouldnt wear something overly tight or revealing! that can make them look even more skinny!

I don't think it looks ugly, I like it.  However I am curious about how you get an avatar.

Oh, trust me, with your pretty face your figure doesn't matter much. I mean, everyone has problems. People who are big breasted want to look smaller, people who are small breasted want to look bigger. In the end, it just matters how you emphasize your features.

I don't know. I was wondering about that one day. It could be taken offensively by the wrong person one day.  I am not big but I am also not the toothpick my avatar is. They should make all sizes.\n\n\nOr maybe they are trying to make us all equals, no discrimination on size.\n\nInteresting question though, good one to think about.

That isnt based on how pretty it looks or anything like that! Usually it is based on chance, a computer picks a number and selects it. Nobody spends hour pouring over all the Avatars everybody submits. Dont worry urs will get picked someday!

It is made up by the fact that models are mostly skinny and most of them have eating disorders.  Nothing against skinny people, just something made up.

well my avatar is basically me but for most people im sure its not even close because they dont offer fat avatars or really ugly ones, any guy who approches you because of your avatar is a loser.

I have a theory that western society is presenting the ideal female as essentially a feminine looking boy with large breasts and fat lips. The top models have figures that look like a skinny 14 year old boy who has had breast and lip implants. It's sexist in a sense -- or maybe I should say bisexist? Younger men seem to be becoming more comfortable with the "effeminate boy" sex object than with real women.
