Gender and Your Avatar

Generally, I assume that somebody is the same gender as their avatar. If someone has a cute little anime chick as their avatar, I figure they're probably a girl. In fact, I was "friends" with someone on Xbox Live, who for the better part of a year I thought was a girl. This person was in fact a male, with a cute anime chick avatar and a kinda high-pitched voice.

Anyway, this assumption of mine has been incorrect at times, so I was wondering if my assumption has any statistical basis. Option 3 on my poll is for all those of you who have sports logos, letters, numbers, technological apparatus, or mid-90s screensavers as your avatars.

Yes, I tend to assume that if you have a chick as your avatar, you are a chick. And vice versa.

I don't think my avatar really matches my gender, but that was actually a bit intentional. Although I'd say my username most certainly does, even though I still get confusion from time to time.

that is Del Marquis of Scissor sisters.

but its mostly for the awesome hat :P

and i'm a female

I'm male. Just like Sasuke.

It's funny because this has been my avatar for a while now and I'm not really even that fond of his character...

I'm a yeti

male, and half of it does lol

I'm not sure. thriteenthmonke

I'm a male, and my avatar is a depictment of Amaterasu (from Okami, not Japanese Mythology), the goddess of nature and the sun. I switch my pictures a lot, though: just recently I had one of a Tarrasque, and I'm currently pondering on what to change to next.

I'm a guy and I have a female avatar...but the only reason it's a female avatar is because it's the albumart for an album I'm really looking forward to.

I'm a guy and my avatar is too can't you tell?

Hmm...It is hard to tell from mine because it depicts no gender at all, but I'm a guy.

My avatar is just to show how proud I've always been of my heritage.

Same, when I see and anime chick or some girl, something just makes me think their a girl.

If I see a guyish thing, then I assume it's a man, unless their username/sig is blatantly obvious that their a girl.

I also assume that if I see colors like pink, light blue, and purple that their girls too.

I'm a Munchlax. Thank the lord.

Umm, I don't think so.

I'm a hot girlfunsohng

I don't think loaf of bread cat has a gender :3tofu-lion91

(It was going to be 'Hoover' though, right?)

Mines usually just my favorite character from a game/anime at the time, most of the time a girl but I'm a boy :P

Yeah my Avy match my gender. :3

Yes, I am a male, like Great Saiyaman/ Gohan. However, whenever I see a female avatar, I actually assume that it's a male because there are quite a few males who'll use females whom they like as their avatar and because most gamers are male.

Yeah my Avy match my gender. :3
