There are very few pictures of the real person on the mylot avatars. what do you picture in your head when you are responding to them? The way they put together thier discussions and structure there words must have an effect on what your impression is!
Are you willing to name some mylotters and say they remind you of a famous actor or world leader or even a cartoon charactor!
i will begin.
mostly everyone knows of the well travelled bear called transdisc. i picture transdisc being a cross between Oprah because of his worldly advice when needed and Robin Williams for his subtle satire that prodominates his discussions!

I think the avatar plays a big part in how I picture my friends on Mylot, I have in the past mistaken a few for the wrong gender, I thought I was talking to a female when I was actually talking to a male and vice versa, but I really think of my friends by that little avatar pic.

There are very few of my friends that I do not know what they really look like. The ones that I don't know, I just imagine that they look like whatever their avatar is. It has been a long time since I had a picture of myself on here. I think that I will post on later.

Oh, ho, ho~! I picture trans as being exactly the ferocious yet cuddly big bear that he is. I am so literal-minded. I picture you as a sassy but not so fat cat, except when you use the pillar box avatar and then I picture you as a pint-sized version Danger Mouse. Why don't I picture you as Penfold? You just don't strike me as the hamster type. It is the person's syntax and vocabulary and wit that give me a picture of who they are and what they actually look like in the real world is not too important to me. I can pretty much tell who does or does not have the word "hate" tattooed on his or her forehead.

Yes, ahem, well...perfect! Hold that though, xboxboy.
And you, trans, what are you doing, trying to blow his cover? Actually, I envisioned him as one of the operatives working for Dateline's To Catch a Predator show. Let's just all work together and get those guys off the streets.

I see transdisc as a big guy, cause of the bear picture. I see theprogamer as a well dressed young man. I see lecanis as an often skinny, sophisticated mom, I see Bay Bay as a cool wife and club goer. I see xboxboy as a very funny person perhaps with funny clothes. I see utah13 as a strong and calm yet weirdly romantic guy. I see pyewacket as a newscaster. Haha. I cant think or anyone else right now...oh wait, I see frecklelip as a southern bell, I see curlyred as a rebelious pilgrim, I see foxyfire as...well...foxy, and I see dfn as a buisnesswoman. : )

Uw, I like this discussion. I think of my MyLot friend, Lakota, as a beautiful Indian Princess. She is very wise and kind and she fights a good fight. And you, my friend, well you are a hard-working young man, sly as a fox but gentle as a kitty (with claws!) and you like to spin a neat tale and you're very witty. Sometimes you sound older than your (shown) age and other times you're um . . . fun, yeah that's it . . . fun!

I'd be scared to think how people pictured me!!!
Kiobug is a butterfly for me. I don't know why. I started out just thinking of her as "bug" and now she's become a butterfly. :P
There more I come to know someone, the more different images come to mind for them. So there are some mylotters I have many images for, and the one you mentioned is one of those.

Well when I picture you I see a Crocodile. Not the croc that I touched, he was just a 3 year old croc and his name was Reggie. But I see you as a big croc, sort of like Graham... one of the big old crocs at the Australia zoo. Not sure if it's the right thing I should see you when I look at you... I mean, are you green and scaley?

Er. It wasn't an insult. Crocs actually are pretty fast animals and they're really smart. People are scared of them because of their looks but deep down, okay so deep down they just kill but that's because that's what they do. Deep down you mean well by what you post on mylot cause it's what you do.

Haha! I can see a bit of R.Williams in Trans too....Um Oprah? Nah dont see that, although I do agree with you that he is wordly! Maybe Im not looking at Oprah right. lol
I dont think Im going to try my hand at this one. Ill surely offend someone. I will say that I have seen some avatars that do make me imgaine that they just might look like that. LOL

Glad you can appreciate my choice in not fully participating. The people that stick out in my mind would not appreciate me so much if I said anything. LOL Just to clarify, its not any of the ones that mentioned me, or you! xx

Hi & Hello, xboxboy.
My imagination depend on their "Moral of Language" and "Moral of Tone", intangibly produced by their texts and the arrangements. And next, it create the 'mind pictorial' and I figure out my imagination.
Name some one? Of course I choose for user name "xboxboy" and he reminds me the famous and rich man, an Englishman for Mr Bean. Is he Scottish, xboxboy?
HAPPY DAPPY.
