avatar

I think that what a person chooses to represent themselves with speaks volumes about them! A person with low self esteem might try and compensate for it by creating an unrealistic version of themselves. This is something that they can control and is a way that they seek positive reenforcement. I did find it interesting in the article that the mixed attributes were not desirable in the least. A short, attractive avatar was veiwed worse than a non attractive avatar! I guess in the gaming world if you can have it then go all the way!
