Are the Yahoo Avatars stereotyped and/or superficial?

They are neither. There are literally tens of thousands of different combinations of features, skin, hair, clothes, backgrounds, etc.. to choose from. If someone has a stereotypical or superficial avatar it's because they made it that way, not Yahoo!.

Are you offended by the fact that yahoo doesn't offer any fat people avatars? Do you feel like you are forced to misrepresent yourself?

Because it's not a dating site! I'm just here for entertainment and answers/advice. So, I don't really care what everyone looks like. Plus, the 'cartoon faces' are cool! ;0)

why is your avatar so sadd?

What exactly do you mean by casual. I do like that the por* aspect bothers you. Did you ever think to gt rid of the angry look on your avatars face and maybe then you will meet someone.

I don't, not enough options seems a lot of avatars look too similar. The one I made for myself I could not get it to remotely resemble me. I will stick to my cat pics.

I would say may avatar represents how i wish i looked, but not how i would really want myself to be.  As i'm attracted to that picture, i chose it :)

Well, not exactly.  If you look just like your avatar, that means that you look like a plastic doll.  I am not into that type....

i've always wondered this and they usually go along with great with the sarcastic answers.\ni often wonder if they change the facial expressions to match the answers they provide.\nsome peoples avatars look just plain crazy and creepy

I think the greatest consideration is the question posed. You really don't need an "attractive avatar".

In Yahoo-land...perhaps people with such beliefs are seen as boring boogers. Abuse. Disrespect and Maturity is obviously more 'sexy'.

Yes.....I hadn't thought about it, but yes, I do.\n\nI have a better feeling toward the attractive avatars than toward the ones with evil or sour looking ones. And, it's sorta the same in real life, too.

I tried to make my avatar look as much like me as possible, but my hair is much longer. I am not pretending. If you go and read my Q & A on my profile, thats pretty much my feelings, character and personality. Why pretend? My pic or name is not posted. So therefore, a person can really feel comfortable in being there true self. Well....at least i will.
