I think it's cool, but I doesn't really capture who we really are.  This avatar I have is the closest I was able to get.  And yet, I don't look like it at all.  \n\nBut it's fun to play arond with, at the least.

Stuff has been shipped late.\n\nOnline dating sucks. I've only met weirdos with social problems.

Yeah they still exist just not on the internet.(Not for dating anyway), Find something like a community theater to join or a function where a lot of people attend, Church fitness club Ymca the list goes on and on. The best way to meet people is to be around people. Check on volunteer work things like that. A Cancer walkathon or something where you can walk and talk and help someone at the same time. Decent Men and women are out there but you have to make yourself available.\n\nGood Luck!!

Try going to downloads.com and do a search for "Avatar". You will be able to download free trials of software that will allow you to make your own avatars. Good luck!

Avotar options that look like me are not available.  I tried to get as close as i can, but many things are still incorrect.  Of course some folks could be masquerading.  it might be a fun way to try out being a different race or gender.  Hard to do in real life.  Easy to do in avatar.

The original definition of avatar as "the manifestation of a Hindu deity in human or superhuman or animal form" has changed to "pictorial representation of a participant in a three-dimensional chat environment... chosen by the user...may look like a bird, a fish, or some other colorful character" according to a modern hi-tech dictionary.\n\nBut that is all encyclopedic, you don't want to get that as an answer, do you?\nI think that we _need_ to have some visual human reference, because of the growing importance of virtual spaces in all our comunications these days. I don't know about other users here, but I don't like to chat for long times with a person that I've never _seen_ or _heard_ in person (I chat every night, but mostly with people I know). Therefore the new meaning of 'avatar' seems like a good loan from the original sense, because they work as our own "manifestations". Your choice of avatar reflects at least some part of you, and sometimes it's the only thing that others will see. \nSo you see avatars are important to me, but that doesn't mean they won't change as I do.\n------\nSorry for the loooong answer!

Type "Avatar" in the Yahoo Search box, or Search Web and click on it.  It should (will, I hope) give you several (information) listings for Avatar there.  \nI had a difficult time when I first did it and don't remember the exact steps I took, but it can be done.\nSorry I can't be more explicit,...good luck!\n \nWhen I tried Yahoo HELP questions search I didn't get ANY help.  It doesn't seem to be a very good system, it didn't\nanswer my question.

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...

A resounding YES! The reason we haven't met them is quite obvious, really. The incidents of life as we know it are so far apart that it would take more time for them to reach us or for us to reach them than any given life form in the universe has. In other words, we will all die and all trace of our existance will be long gone by the time any other beings got here. Take it from an alien!

uuuumm...cause they're lame...I judge your avatar a 9...\n\n\nThere are more closed/narrow minded people on the planet than not...people just suck!

There are still plenty of people who meet the traditional way.  It's just that for some of us, the net gives us a bigger pool to choose from.  If you search 2 continents, you have a better chance of finding someone who has many interests in common with you than if you search one city.  It's up to the user to exercise common sense and judgment in getting together with people they meet through the internet.

The avatars come out of Yahoo! Messenger whose target audience just happens to be teen-young adult. If the older demographic increases enough, I'm sure they'll add older avatars since the demand would be high enough.

http://avatars.yahoo.com/\nThey started about a half a year ago, I am pretty sure. Enjoy!
