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

yep! thanks for the wake up call. i was procrastinating choosing an avatar.  i thought it (grey creepy) was just generic, but it's downright scary.  even this :) is better than that.  i will choose another picture immediately if not sooner.

....ooooooookkkkkk what does that have to do with a question. Yes ur avatar is kinda cute but....why are you bragging about looking like a girl?

I agree!  I am older too, and I've noticed the same thing.  HOWEVER, I'm not sure I'd choose the avatar with the wrinkles!  haha  I do wish they would give more choices on the faces.  There are lots and lots of choices on backgrounds and clothing, etc, but not enough on our actual looks.\n\nI guess you could upload your own picture, but I'm a little more private than that.

There is one chubby or "beer-bellied" male avatar.\n\nI think having some showing signs of age would be great - younger looking ones (even children) and older folks as well.\n\nWe live in a superficial world... why not a superficial internet? It's disgusting really. You know, a lot of people spend their time wishing they were thinner or had perfect skin/hair/etc. Now, that they can be that "perfect image" we want them to look realistic. Go figure.

They put up fat avatars? It's jsut that I haven't gone for a while and haven't explored what they offer

hahaha i've wondered that myself.... I think most of them are just pictures they found....since some people feel more liberated online then they do in the real world... the ones that yahoo lets you create are more closest to what we look like...you know... my avatar is close to me...except I'm not constantly smiling...

By trial and error, hon. You can change everything about it all the time! Just click on your avatar, and have fun mixing and matching to your liking!

I too find the range of avatars rather inadequate, using this one you see on the left since I started Y/A until now without giving any thought to it. Are they kids? Apart from their avatars, you also can figure out from the ways they word their answers to your questions. Adios.

Its make sense if they feel as though they are a man why not express them self that way in all ways possible, especially if they cant in their life right now, they can use the avatar as who they want to be, a lot of people do this, make their avatar look how they wish, with longer hair, different color eyes and hair, and everything, its just a different gender is the most obvious.

It's a new fad that has recently come out. It's or should I say THEY are calling themselves METRO-SEXUAL. I guess they are saying they are NOT gay. They are straight, BUT they want to being feministic as well. BUT they want to remain manly. LOL. Personally I don't see it, But hey who am I to say.

Not a clue. But your avatar is ace.

Go to avatars.yahoo.com, sign in, then click Preferences in the top right corner. One of the options there is to change the gender.
