When we spend time dressing our avatars, are we really regressing to our childhoods of dolls & action figures?

Question

Some of us don't use avatars......those who don't: do you dress specially for your online photos (which would, basically, be the same thing)?

Answer 1

NO!!!!! wtf??? do you do that???

Answer 2

I have seen some who undress for their avatars, but fortunately they don't last long. LMAO.

Then there are people like me who pock an avatar that reflects their character.

Answer 3

You say that like it's a bad thing, ha hah.  But since I don't use an avatar, I confess, yes, it's my online photo.  I must be all of 3 pixels high in that photo.

Answer 4

Yes I think we are, yet it's some boredom relief.

Answer 5

Not everyone spends much time dressing their avatar. Me, I only did it because I really, really, really hate the anonymous grey head that is the default symbol.

But, hey, you might have something with your theory. I still haven't figured out why guys that say they're straight get female avatars.

Answer 6

It's not a bad thing to regress from time to time.  After all don't we all need to play & be expressive?
