Who are they?

What’s with this trend of guys using female avatars... It’s been going on for a while. I wonder what motivates guys to do this (besides being gay or being madly in love with their significant other)...

Is it a lack of attention from the opposite sex?

We’re playing Heroes, not hanging out on a dating site where everyone is checking each other out. And here are guys with avatars of girls. It just doesn’t seem right.

An avatar is supposed to represent a person on a forum and should represent them in the online world. And it’s kind of weird to see girls as avatars for guys, especially when they’re usually completely random girls, not their own.

My avatar represents my idea of beauty, but it’s better not to post pictures of my girlfriend. She’s mine, not for public display. (Plus, if someone starts “meditating” on her, she’ll experience anxiety on a mental level – that’s a proven fact, by the way).
