i know this is a bit random and odd, but.....does anyone else find themselves associating a persons icon with the people themselves

couse i tend to get tripped up when people change their icons and after seeing the same one for so long, i look at it like "wtf, who is that"...

but maybe i am just a little on the dumb side.

anyone else do this as well??

yes.. me too.. Dr. Love and jinx I keep getting you two mixed up!

yeah.....for a long long time, I thought Manick was a girl

But yea.. I tend to do the same thing - getting used to knowing people by their avies.


That's probably something you shouldn't admit to doing. I try not to make assumption with gender (and if I do make an assumption, I tend to think everyone's male until told otherwise ) when it comes to avies.. I mean, look at Doc! (just kiddin there, honeybear - I just couldn't help myself )

I always think of everyone as female, until proven wrong.

Yep, I associate them with their icons, but I read the names too.

....*just learned something about Manick* Yeah, I kept thinking everyone was a girl. Manick, Dr. Love (because of the Tifa avy), and basically everyone who has a girl for their avatar. Haha, then when I find out that they're male, I feel really guilty. Sorry, Manick.... Your avatar is just so pretty. Dr. Love too.

ehh even me?? im so surprised -__-

i do actually look at the user´s profile to figure out gender, but by reading the user´s post i kind of get an idea of gender (not always right ). Well, i do associate users with avatars too.

lol, no... I think I remember your picture and it says male in your profile~

Yep, I do it all the time. I do read the names as well, but I tend to glance at the avatar out of the corner of my eye before reading the post, & then check the name if I don't recognize the ava.

I don't think I've ever looked at someone's profile to figure out if they're male or female. It's almost always pretty obvious to me from reading a few posts, esp. if they write very much.

LOL, yes. I think I have changed my icon, around three or four times since I have been here.

I plan to keep Lelouch up for a little while, though, unless something so amazingly awesome comes along that I feel the absolute need to change it (Unlikely, as it may seem).

I think I've had four icons since I joined, yet there has never been a time where I've been called a guy.

ZombieKing ihas been challenged! Now it's between him, Blissful_wulf and Mamsmilk. And maybe Dr. Love.

I strangely still associate you with Kratos. I wonder why?


Me, I've been through 6 avatars. I believe your user name combined along with your avatar and the way you post will determine which gender people will associate you with, regardless of whatever you say. That being said I continue to discombobulate.
