Does anyone else totally base what everyone looks like by the profile pic?

I don't think of appearances, but I do tend to judge a persons character by their av sometimes. For instance.

The Anime Avatar: Finding normal cartoons to be not nerdy enough, you've wrapped yourself in cartoons of a country whose language you don't speak. There is probably a strange odor coming from your basement room.

"Bad Ass" dude with a gun: You think that Bad Ass dudes with big guns are tough and therefore Cool. Your basement room might not smell, but no one will ever know, because no one wants to hang out with that skinny little geek who is always making the angry face and talking about how tough he is.

The Internet Meme Av: You have become so obsessed with the internet and so displaced from the real world that you no longer understand that "Fail", "For the horde" babies and ORLY owls are not actually funny. You're posting here because the internet has taken precedence over the real world for you. There may not be an odor coming from your basement room yet, which is good, because when there is... It's probably because you died in your chair in front of your computer and no one thought to come down and check on you.

This may be an unfair way of looking at things, but that's just kind of the vibe I get when I see those avs.

Good to know that I'm not the only one who is horribly judgemental when it comes to something as silly as an avatar.

I do think you can glean a fair amount of information from a person's avatar, though.
