I must admit I do! And I am mostly wrong- for example, I though Revolver was a male! :lol:

I must say, I did too. Sorry Revolver!

But my own siggy/avatar is quite misleading, so I assume people would think of me differently than who I am, lol.

Interesting topic...I often try to put a face on the user, and I am sure I am way off on many of them.

Sometimes. If I see a Miley Cyrus/Twilight/Taylor Swift/etc avatar, I'll automatically off that person as a teenybopper. But that's probably a given.

Very nice work. I'd obviously be a regular 'customer' of yours if you do open a service in the future ;-)

Ah well. I guess it's not really a bad thing. I'm just happy to have my all-time favourite actors in my signature and avatar. And if people think I'm a boy because of it, then that's ok with me, lol!

I guess I do subconciously get an impression from people's avatar/signature. I've never really thought about it until now. But normally I base my impression on how a person types, but that's off many times as well ^-^' You know, this could be a game or something :lol: Guess the gender and age of the user above you based on their avatar/signature or something like that haha.

Haha, that's actually a very good idea! It'd make for an interesting game.
