OblivionRider 50 Posted June 22, 2011 I don't know about any of you, but when I'm on a forum, I start to get to know people by their avatars. Like I'll see someone with Kairi in their avatar, and assume that they're a girl. Then they change it to Luke Skywalker or someone and I get thrown for a loop. Especially when you're on a thread with the same person a lot (such as roleplaying). Anyone else feel the same? 2 Aqua7KH and lizzie1238 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khoathkeeper13 429 Posted June 23, 2011 funny that this thread was made right when I changed my avatar Yeah it's the same with me, if someone changes their avatar I shortly think they are a new member until I notice their user name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OblivionRider 50 Posted June 23, 2011 so whats my first impression since ive got a male and a female in mine? I dunno, but I think of you as a ... I can't make out such a small picture. I think you believe in romance, but the black border makes me think guy. Then again, the purple sways me towards the girl side... What am I turning into, a fortune teller?

yayitsdre 4 Posted June 23, 2011 That's how I used to go about it. But, since it wasn't the most reliable, if you will, I'd go to their profile or something. x] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FireStorm 162 23 Posted June 23, 2011 I just have characters and people I like, and since guys usually seem to be horribly annoying in animes/games/whatever else, I always have a female as my avi, I'm manly like that. Look at my signature to see how manly I am Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oishii 3,987 Posted June 23, 2011 Hmmm, I don't really judge people by their avi's but it's usually how I recognize people. It's because I'm horrible with names. An avi is almost like your face on the internet. When people I know change avi's, I will start treating them like strangers I'm horrible like that. 1 lizzie1238 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lizzie1238 538 Posted June 7, 2012 I recognize people by their avatar. If they change it, I get so confused! My avatar is usually a male game character that I like (such as Zack Fair right now), but since my name has lizzie in it, I don't think it makes people think I'm a guy.
