Why are the avatars good looking?

Avatars are a way of building our alter egos, a reflection of how we would like to see our selves.  Not many people can really see them selves for who they truly are and enjoy the escapism that an online personality and image provides.  \n\nIt’s a virtual guarantee that people you meet here will be different in real life.

The pictures are nicer, but the avatars are better than the square box smiley face, but then, the avatars are quite limited on choices.  My picture represents my personality...yes, I am quite squirrelly.

Gee whiz...let's think about whether or not a "chubby" avatar would be popular seeing as it doesn't seem to be socially acceptable to be chubby either. I wouldn't want a "fat" one, but chubby would be really cute.

Most people probably look a little like their avatars, like I have brown hair and brown eyes, but that's about it .It would be sad, because I personally think my avatar looks really b*tchy and evil.

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.

Ya know, I think people's avatar does affect some people's answers.  It's natural to go by looks and answer accordingly. The other day someone asked a "black person" question and he had a black avatar and I thought, how different would these answers be if the avatar was white?  People just assume that what they see is a replica of what they are answering.   ? Is that what you meant?  That was a very good statement/question. It gives people something to think about, before their little fingers hit the keyboard.

They are all good in their own way.  It really depends on the personality and overall look.
