    The question is simple. Why males use female avatar here and the other way round. What is your way? Is there some strategy behind it? What strategy?

    Some guys like the attention they get for using a female avatar. Why a guy would want other guys hitting on him is beyond me, though (unless he were gay).

    It's pretty clear that guys use female avatars because it's someone they find attractive.

    It's never an "ugly" female avtar though... They're all hot, so that pretty much sums up why people do it :p

    What about vegetables like a pumpkin? It's got curves, put a wig on it and you're never going to be disappointed.

    Is there anyone doing it the other way around?? Are there any females here that are using male avatars? I'm sure there must be some, but I can't think of any....

    I think everyone should be required to use a photo of themselves as their avatar. It would be nice to know what everyone looked like. ;)

    :eek:

    That would be funny. And rather confusing... :p

    More people will view your profile if you have a female avatar

    ...and more clicks on your site.

    Yes, it seems that females get more attention from males, and web development is still fairly male dominated. There are obviously many real females on these boards, but that's to be expected with 30,000+ active members.
