The Female, Male Demographic of Skyrim Players

Haha you ladies think too much of us males. I always enjoy when you ask what are we thinking about. Because we don't even know most of the time :p

Haha, like 95% of my friends are males, so I know what you mean. :P But yeah, I've had largely positive experiences gaming online. I lack the horror stories of other women, apparently.
 
:oops:

My photo is actually me, but I still feel like I "earn" my likes. I really don't feel this community is full of guys who are so shallow that they'd give me likes, etc, because they like my photo.

To add to my post, I really hope people don't like my posts based on my avatar. If someone reading this has done that in the past.... STAHP IT NAO! :p

Left hand wants to click like. Right hand attacking left. Left has beaten right. Left is now attacking face... ldhjklqdhjdhewkfewhfwh

I generally will like something if I find it an awesome post.

I've become to realize I'm a tight bastard, I don't give enough likes and ratings. The other day I realized I had only given out 14 ratings since April 2012

Honestly, I think your avatar might affect people's views of you a tiny bit. It's kinda hard not to respond to it at all because, assuming it depicts you, you have huge and very friendly looking smile. Does that mean you'd get more "likes" from me? I don't know. But I do know that if you said something that might be taken the wrong way, that might seem like it was a bit insulting or whatever, I'd almost certainly give you the benefit of the doubt because.... you don't look mean. :)

Compare that to the peeps with death's heads and shrouded skulls as avatars. They might have to work a bit harder in order to display such goodwill.

Either way, the effect is probably very minimal. Nothing to worry about.

In any case, I don't think you should let anyone make you self conscious about your avatar. There's nothing wrong with it at all.

Fair point well made, Moris. I could see my avatar having that effect. I think those types of perceptions are unavoidable though, as someone will almost always make a skin-deep judgement of "who you are" based on what you use to represent yourself. An avatar is basically a virtual first impression. I don't mind people thinking I'm friendly based on my photo, I would just hope that if someone found me to be attractive, it wouldn't affect their ratings on my posts. :)

Agree. That would annoy me too.

Well, if I put up an actual pic of myself and I got positive ratings as a result of it, I'd be quite flattered -- at least for a while. But I'm also solidly middle aged, so it's been a while since I've had to deal with the suspicion that my looks are what drive conversation. For intelligent women, it's infuriating, I know.

Oh I'm sure you still turn heads ;)

Actually, if you ask most women over the age of 40, they will tell you that they seem to have somehow mastered the invisibility spell.

It's a skill most apparent in electronics stores and car dealerships. One can stalk the staff, pickpocket their gems and enchanted rings, and drive quite a few arrows through quite a few knees before anyone mumbles more than the obligatory, "Is anyone there?"

Seen it. Knew one 52 year old who left with a brand new Audi after walking in with nothing more than her novice robes, a level 22 pickpocket, and a can-do attitude.

You're still a 16 year old at heart.
