Do you judge people the least little bit by their avatar? Be honest!:)

Who would judge me on this avi? I think it's modest, understated and representative of my buoyant boobs. I mean mood.

I think avatars have replace our physical self (ie how we look) in the virtual world. It is hard to NOT let physical things influence what we think of people in the real world, and it is hard to do the same with avatars here.

But I think it is easier to dissociate avatars from a person, than looks from a person.

So my answer is that I try really hard not to, but a clever avatar does make me think that a person must be clever!

My Avatar I made myself. It is made from a cropped portion of a picture of my cat Tipper. I call this one ether General Tipper, because he reminds me of Old Ike in it, or The Godkitty.... Because he looks like he's got attitude....
