For me Avi serves as personal identification or messege of some sort and when it is a picture of the most beautiful and photographed celebrity it translates unanimously into physical beauty which is not the case when we see animated or cartoon characters or something abstract in avis which is open to individual interpretations.

I don't have any issues with people using celebraties in avatar as such and in answering to Qwerts post I made an honest statement about perception and reality of first impression if VL and RL were to merge.

Btw I agree about the shallow world comment with respect to looks - how many will consider using Nana Patekar, Om Puri or Seema Biswas in their avi?

LH but andekhi has a veri valid point... .when we chat... its typical to find people visualizing the other person while discussing the ideas... and if that contrary to what the reality is,..... it creates a different opinion......Now I dont know if this is generally true or gender based...etc. but nevertheless valid...

Qwerts, Fantasing is like food..for thought.😆 Both genders do it well ...😆

"Furthermore, boys (but not girls) approached the female stranger more often in the attractive than in the unattractive condition,"

Now this is interesting conclusion, I had this doubt that boys have some built-in default , now they've somewhat proved it 😆😆😆

boys at young age as young as 3 months stare a girl\woman more than a girl , again a personal observation 😆 and when they grow a little bit they tend to offer you (again if you are a woman or a girl) whatever they are eating sometimes they take out cookie or candy right from their mouth to offer you but if you are a man or a boy forget about it 😆😆😆 again personal observation😆

Do you believe our society is oriented mainly on the basis of looks? Preference is given to good-looking people over others? Why do you think we are very much look oriented?

Qwerts, I think I used the wrong word there.😳 We have tendency to aggrandise and render people or situations plausible when we visualize subconsciouly. It happens when people decide to immigrate to USA or UK , change jobs , or are looking to be brides or grooms.😆 Why is that even while knowing the reality or having lived thru similar situatuions , a prospect of new job or moving into a new house or interacting with people in virtual world , we imagine the best picture perfect scenario about everything?(I am not talking about pessimists or paranoid people here, as they would imagine the opposite.😆) It is like OUR minds are doing promoting and marketing for others. 😕

I may be totally off here from what you think of subconscious visualisation and would love to read your thoughts too.😊
