I always imagine them to look like the character in their avatar. By this logic, a lot of users would be 8 year old girls which I believe reflects the intelligence seen in some of their posts

What about you?

I assume that 25% are your average citizens, 50% are otaku's or other types of nerds and the remaining 25% are not real.

But roughly 80% out of the 75% real MAL users are very shy and lack confidence in real life.

(By the way I am not 8 I am 6 there is a stark difference)

Shouldn't they be in their parents' basement?

I always imagine people look like their avatars which is obviously false but sometimes it's funny to think about it.

Actually, generally, if a user's gender matches up with the gender of their avatar, I picture them to look similar. Especially if it's a random/unknown anime character, as opposed to a super famous one (like Naruto or something). Kind of like, "why would they choose that random character? Hm... they must look similar!"

We already had two "show us what you look like" threads in the past and a lot of people posted there.
They got shut down because of people spamming instead of posting pictures.
That was more than a year ago and it has never been brought back.

I picture them according to the manner in which they type, what personality they display, and what their avatar is.

I don't picture someone as an unattractive otaku unless they show a superiority complex about anime, have an avatar with a gender opposing what it says on their profile (usually a hot female character), and they just act like an asshole.

You'll be able to find 90% of the images posted just by Googling "hot guy/girls."

Edit: A bit off-topic but can anyone tell me what my forum pic is? I've changed it to like 15 different things but it hasn't budged for me in months.

It is a picture of a man with a blue background. The man appears to be wielding a weapon of some sorts, I'm assuming a sword.

I don't think that's what anyone meant. When you think of that user who you frequently see on the forums, what is the first image you think of?

Argh, I'm so bored of that one. Had it since I joined with his name. But yeah, just assume I'm a stoic, bad ass Native American warrior with a strong sense of justice. That pretty much describes me in a nutshell. Weapons are tomahawk and pistol, just in the off chance you were dying to know.

I do like Madoka, I just don't love it. I also figured that a Madoka avatar would be hip, seeing as the third movie hits NA theaters in December.

You're post was inefficient use of rhetoric. You made is seem as though people judged a user as looking similar to their avatars just because they said they take the avatars into account for how they picture that person.

And please, don't start with those internet memes.
