Reading about ethnicity, a question comes to my mind:

Do you pick some avatar that is more or less like you (in the look i mean)? Or just something you like no matter its very different from your real RL look?

none of them look like me

I have some cute little animal ones I do not look like that in RL

the human ones much cuter than I am in RL

why do I not wish to do an avi that looks like me?

I see me each and every day, I like to look at something or someone else when I play

Going far with my curiosity:

-Is you avatar "younger" than you?
-Same sex?
-Better body shape?
-Same skin color?
-Same eye color?
-Same ethnicity?
-Same "sexy" level?

hahaha...nobody would make a skin that ugly for it to look like me
Actually I managed to find one similar to how I was when I was 25ish, the only difference
is my avi has blonde hair, which I always wanted in RL buy couldnt be arsed to go and have the roots done every couple of weeks ....and the damn avis feet have to be so tiny to fit any shoes, Im 5ft 13 RL and have feet in proportion

At first, this av was built very closely to spec.

Over time, she's gotten sexier in her looks, taller to fit poseballs better, and has had some enhancements that make her different, such as the eyes - me, only better. :)

-Is you avatar "younger" than you?

Um... I'm 36 in RL and have been told I could pass for a 30-something in SL.

-Same sex?

Yes

-Betther body shape?

Yes

-Same skin color?

A little more tan.

-Same eye color?

Yes

-Same ethnicity?

Close enough to find it reasonble.

-Same "sexy" level?

I'm far sexier in real life... ;-)

can't tell - I suppose so...yes.

-Same sex?
yes - male

-Better body shape?
yes, but not by much - Just taller

-Same skin color?
not a chance - I may be pale, but I'm not that pale.

-Same eye color?
pretty much...green is good for me.

-Same ethnicity?
Impossible to say...my RL ears are not that fuzzy, and the tail is gone.

-Same "sexy" level?
No, I will not be your boyfriend...well...not yet...keep trying...

Yes, my avi looks just like me. I'm 7ft 4in, have all my hair (and lots of it) and teeth, and if I wish I can have a huge erection 24/7.

-Is you avatar "younger" than you? - naw
-Same sex? - yes
-Better body shape? - well...duh lol I doubt most people have a perfect body, since I dont in RL, I darn well was going to in SL. However, I did find that she does have my facial features and looks like me, just a better body. What I wouldnt pay for that shape RL, but I cant find any shape stores in my town :(
-Same skin color? - yes
-Same eye color? - no
-Same ethnicity? - yes
-Same "sexy" level? -...sexy is not just about how you look, but how you act. Since I act the same in SL (most of the time, granted) as RL, thats a yes.

My original avitar (tweaked and skinned) was fashioned to look similar--not identical--to my RL counter-part.

Now, however, I don't think I could look like my avatar for another 50 years or more.

Is you avatar "younger" than you?

- Never really thought about her age...I'm 36 in RL, but people generally guess much younger, so I don't think there's a huge discrepancy appearance-wise.

Same sex?

-Yes

Better body shape?

-Oh hell yeah! lol She's also a good 10" taller than I am. :eek:

Same skin color?

-Similar; I'm uber pale in RL and that can be difficult to find in SL.

Same eye color?

-Related theme...they're light greenish-blue in RL and bright aqua in SL. I don't have the elliptical pupils in RL, though. :p

Same ethnicity?

-Yuppers

Same "sexy" level?

-Doubtful, but I suppose it depends on who you ask.


Hair color is completely different. Also, I do have a few somewhat feline qualities in RL, which is why Ann is Neko. =^.^=

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

DaQbet has close to the same facial features as I do in RL. His chin and nose I think are a little more pronounced, and his hair is longer and lighter then mine.
Younger then me…yeah he’s like just seven months old.
Sex…as often as I can get it…LOL…errr oh, yes same sex
Better body…yep he goes to the cyber gym more then I do
Skin color…same
Eye color…same
Ethnicity…same…redneck with a credit card
Oh I’m all sorts of sexy

My AV is me in my mid 20's instead of crowding 40 like I am in RL. Hair color, eye color, skin coloration ,the 5 o'clock shadow, and the build are what I had 16 years ago. I have worn a mustache for 20 years in RL, too bad all the SL facial hair looks like crap.

I wonder if there's a business opportunity there.... prim facial hair? OMG I would LOVE for handlebar moustaches or those long swoopy cavalry/cowboy moustaches to make a comeback. I swear, I'd log in as my male alt everyday if I could have a prim swooshy moustache.

I'm boring. My alts are far more different....

-Is you avatar "younger" than you?
No, same age. 35 next week and looks like 20. Seriously.

-Same sex?

Yes.

-Better body shape?


Slightly smaller big butt and thighs, apart from that, same height.

-Same skin color?

Yes
-Same eye color?

Mostly, but I experiment with these the same way as i do with contacts in RL. AND I wear glasses in SL, too, just like in RL.

-Same ethnicity?
Yes.
-Same "sexy" level?

Whatever that may be. I don't run around in micro skirts in SL or RL, or have me boobs hanging out.

With hair colour, it's usually red as in RL, or black, or black and blue, or just blue. All colours that I like and have had at one point in RL.

Yep, just like me, although I wear my hair a bit shorter in RL (it's tough to find a good crewcut in SL).

The only real difference is my height. Because of the bug in SL, I look more "normal" at 7'2" in SL, representing my RL 6'2". I'm thinking of cutting that down to an SL 7' even.

My mustache is bushy, think Sam Elliott or Tom Selleck (no I do not look as good as either of them). But for the most part SL mustaches lean towards 70's porn star.

I am trying to make my avatar look like me, so same age, sex, body shape, skin color, eye color, and ethnicity. She does have _much_ better hair. IRL, I cut mine myself. She's also got more interesting clothes and better shoes. Actually, I think I've accidentally made her look like JK Rowling.

Actually, I thought Elliott and Selleck's mustaches look like 1970s porn star mustaches. sorry
