is your avatar a mask or an alter ego?

My avatar represents how I'd like to look. Blue spiky hair, soft eyes with a ton of eyeliner, it's a look I wish I could pull off.

Yep, that sounds like the avatar I would be using right now.\n\nThey also need to have a PMS avatar, complete with a butcher knife, a pint of Ben & Jerry's, a big zit, and a pair of fat pants.

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.

This Avatar is an uncanny likeness of myself. Trust me, I wouldn't make me look like this on purpose.

Avatars are used in forums or sites like this just to have a small illustration to go next to the person's name. That way the responses seem more familiar.

Well I wouldn't say its my avatar. But yes, it's easier to ask questions here rather than in real life.

Cheeky Monkey, dear, your avatar is filled with excitement and such mischevious difference, its dying to be copied or even toyed with.  Look at the attention you gather from being one of the elite, just by those wanting to be you!  We don't always get that in life, so enjoy it!  You're admired, loved, wanted, and copied!  What more could you ask for! :)

Is that a real picture of yourself?

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!.
