My avatar is as manly as I am, since it is me.

...

So it's not very manly, then.

All the popular people have manly avatars, and if the cool people do it, it must be right!

So have I given in to this piece of peer pressure correctly, or sould I find dome other way to emulate my peers? Smoking perhaps?

your from yorkshire I'm sure they wont stand for any of that nampby pamby nonsense up there. Go on I dare you to leave the house in a dress. Go on go on!

So wearing a dress will make me a man?

Great! I'm off to Marks and Sparks to buy one right now!

We have several male members that use female avatars. To be honest it is does freak me out when a person I'm conversing with is the opposite sex of what I was envisioning them to be. This isn’t a problem with you or Corrina because of your first names will let others know you are a male or conversely female. However If I'm honest when I discovered that Cam was a male, (back when he had a Black Canary avatar) I was a bit startled and for no discernable reason freaked out a bit. Your poll question is too awkwardly phrased to answer honestly so I’m going to vote that you should put on a dress and be done with it because I think it’s a funny image.

It throws me alittle when I think I'm replying to a girl but I find out it's a guy and vice versa. I typically don't talk to men and the same way and sometimes I wish I had known the real gender of a poster because certain things I would or would've have said to them. But I look at the avatars and usually tend to think the poster is the same gender of the pic without really thinking about unless they use a male or female name.

It took me almost a year to realize people were assuming I was a guy. I still feel guilty (misleading) somehow. Although it's funny sometimes too.

Any man that can parade around shamelessly as a cute, little girl is obviously VERY secure in his manhood and therefore, manly. Mm, smell that testosterone. :D

And take it from Muimi, she has more testosterone than anybody else at CBR!

That's not just any old cute, little girl. That's a Japanese cute, little girl!

Does that make me extra manly?

Unless stated otherwise, either by an obvious name or outright saying it, I always assume the poster is male. You have to assume something so that seems as good as anything plus, especially on forums like those of comic books and video games, it's true more often than not. If corrected I start using the terms "she" "her" and so forth with that poster. I'm not sure what I'll do if a poster tells me they're a male to female transsexual. :p

Only if you've actually seen all of the Azumanga Daioh TV show and/or manga/comic strips.

Curses! nineteen episodes away from true manlyness!

You shouldn't be asking whether or not your avatar is manly enough, but whether or not you're ripping off Kyuubi you dirty coat-tail rider!

Phoney Bone

11-11-2005, 01:49 PM

There is absolutly nothing UN manly about your avatar at all, David.

Ninja school, on the other hand....

Kyuubi

11-11-2005, 01:57 PM

It's all sorts of manly.

Of course, you're no where near as manly as me.

You can't change your avatar. The only way out of a Chiyo-chan avatar is DEATH, my man. Azumanga Daioh is for LIFE! :D

My avatar is Gollum dressed up as Chewbacca.

It's manly in an un-manly kind of way.

Hugo Weaving, a bloody good actor as Agent Smith, one of the movie worlds' best known villains will do for now.

He's cruel and ruthless, yet cool.

WhiteRose

11-11-2005, 06:47 PM

He was also in that Yahoo Serious movie about Ned Kelly. Or something akin to it.

And I could never take him seriously again.

Cam63

11-11-2005, 07:06 PM

Hugo paid some bills with that role.

Yahoo Serious needs shooting. No joke.

Yahoo Serious made movies after Young Einstein? I had no idea.

My avatar isn't manly as the person on it is still a kid. I still have a long way to go.

You need a more manly avatar!

Even us wimmin' got us manly avatars of gun-wielding studly cop boys!

Karl J. Barnes

11-11-2005, 09:09 PM

Mine's manly in a sparkly and throbbing sort of way...

Corrina

11-11-2005, 09:11 PM

Sparkly is NOT manly.

Big circles...not manly. Lazer beam eyes, manly.

No wonder poor Alex always had an inferiority complex.

Manly throbbing circles!! Plus, Alex's inferoirity complex has more to do with his dating green haired women...with magnetic personalities.

I had an avatar like that once but had to quit using it because I kept getting private messages from middle-aged Japanese men.

It's not as manly as mine, but it was a nice try just the same.

I had a choice between myself and Dr. Strange. Given that I don't have a digital camera, and I had pics of the good Dr, I went with the Strange choice.

.....

It's a debate as to who is more manly. Probably Strange. He whups Dormammu for lunch. I don't even beat eggs for breakfast.

Yeah, most people try something like bullets or fire, but had to go and cut out the middle man by going straight to death, didn't you?

I'll get you when I reincarnate! :evilsmile

Does this mean I have to get an Osaka avatar now?
