I think many are being too quick to dismiss just how much you can learn from an avatar. It can tell you a person's political affiliations, their sense of humour, what they do for a living, and much more. My avatar is of H.E.L.P.eR. from the Venture Bros., and that can tell you about my sense of humour and you can get a pretty good idea of other things I may like/dislike. My previous avatar demonstrated a taste for irony and nostalgia, and before that Canadian literature and graphic novels.

Sometimes I consider changing my avatar to be about something I have no idea about, like a character from a television show I've never heard of.
 
Well I do, a little too often, use avatars to realize who I'm talking to. I'm getting better at paying attention to names, but sometimes I can't.

I like those who have avatars that relate to the Usernames... Like Dr. Q, who almost always has a 'Q' somewhere in his avatar. I used just used my symbol, my symbol on a roadway, like it was painted there, a M-21 (Michigan Highway) sign, my School's Seal, my School's Abstract Mascot, some animated GIF I can't even remember, and now I useTōshirō Hutsugaya squad 10 Captain of the 13 Court Guard Squads from Bleach. He was also a child prodigy, somewhat like me, although his skill was with a sword, and mine was with computers.

I've had a few over the years, but at the moment, the Knight fits the best.

These are the others -

My legs are shaved and I am a guy but they are not that shiny. I do not go that "far". :p

Fixed.



There's also a possibility that rdowns wears women's panties. (Damn he has nice legs...)

Seriously though, I mean I've seen a fair share of shaven legs, sorry kabunaru all of them women :p, But shiny like that no.. It looks like a polished mannequin.
 
You are a football player or you really like football.

actually, I don't play, more of a lax/soccer/ski guy. I do however, love to watch football and devin hester is just the man. I really like the genius avatar though. I wish I had thought of that.
 
I hope we all still will be friends at the end of this discussion. :D

You are all great people and I wish I could meet all of you.
 
I try not to judge anyone by their avatar, but it's hard for those with political ones.
 
Or, they are freshly shaven, and the bright light of the flash makes it look shiny. :rolleyes:

Even then! Well then again I don't go looking for freshly shaven legs to take a picture of...

I have seen some guys with shaved legs. It is not that uncommon.

I am not saying they are weird, just I find it uncommon especially with the group of friends I have. None of them are body builders or anything like that so they don't shave their legs lol
