Why are these avitars all skinny when many of us are "fluffy" in real life?

Question

I think we should have the option of making our avitars look a bit more like real people. While I'm not obese, I'm not skinny, either...nor do I want to be. Does anyone else wish we could "modify" the weight of our avitars to make them look more realistic?

Answer 1

thank you. I'm not the only one who thinks this.

I am fat, and not afraid to say it. When I talk on yahoo messenger, and I'm talking to people and I think about how theirs looks like them, but mine doesn't look like me.


oh, and blondeheiress, who do you think you are? Not everyone in the world that is fat is unhealthy. I'm very healthy, and I don't overeat. I excersice daily. it's called hereditary. don't think you know everything, when you can't figure out that "fluffy" doesn't mean "fat."

Answer 2

I agree that they should have more options for the plus size avatars, such as tops and bottoms instead of complete outfits. I also think you should be able to use hats with any hairstyle, not just the one provided, and that you should be able to have more than one person in the avatar if you wish.

Answer 3

Everyone looks thin and 16.

I don't think its all bad, but instead of an avatar, you could always replace it with a picture of you. I do think there is a body type option when you create the avatar. I'm rather thin, so it doesn't bug me...but that is odd now that you mention it.

Answer 4

i don't know though. even the plus size avatars don't really look that way. there are so many different weight ranges in the world, that it's really not going to be able to be realistic no matter what you do. i do think it would be nice if they had more options for that and other physical features. i mean, my avatar looks as much like me as it can with what we have, but it still doesn't look like me...

Answer 5

i visit in common words imagine of two, and one Buddhist who's technically an atheist because that Buddhism is an atheistic faith. i understand quite some pagans and Wiccans. Edit: On extra idea i visit imagine of one extra, whom i have not seen because that severe college. I in common words understand her non secular beliefs because she once reported, "God knows i'm an atheist," at which all of us had a good snicker. i have by no skill met any atheists who appeared to conceal how they felt; it only did not arise in ordinary talk. extremely i visit't inform you the religion of maximum of my acquaintances. often times it adjustments from 12 months to 12 months. a lot of them were Christian, and then pagan, and then Christian back.

Answer 6

I know what you mean that is why I put a picture of myself in kindergarten. I liked myself as four year old a lot more than a color cartoon. I have a average built but I don't want to be a toon!

Answer 7

They do have a 'plus size' option which is what I use. I agree, the majority of us are fluffy. LOL

Answer 8

blondeheiress (i am guessing u think u r paris hilton) not being skinny does not automatically make u FAT or unhealthy. all we are saying is that yahoo should let us ajust the way ur avatar appears as to weight.

Answer 9

i completely agree.
we've got a sick world to live in, where the media inflicts unhealthy views of how women should really look.
curvy and a little on the heavier side is way more beautiful than those darn sticks we see all over the place today.
ladies, eat a cheeseburger! =)

Answer 10

I'm extra fluffy. And why are the ones that don't use them all the same? Couldn't they at least have a male and a female?
