Love Zhaoying Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 As a Neko-or-feral, I’m cognizant of relative sizing for avatars. Do you like your avatar: ”smol” - twee word for “small” (or even tiny) ”Tall” - normal sized, whatever that means to you ”Swole” - bodybuilder slang for “built”, “muscled”, etc. (muscles look swollen, disproportionately - or maybe your b**bs or b*tt) *Please do also use funny words in your reply, and/or make fun of me for doing so.

Orwar Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I suppose 'normal sized' according to the SL standard of 'if you aren't at least 2.20 you can't dance with anyone in high heels because you're going to look like a dwarf - which means you probably won't be danced with or have your dance partner ask you to -please- size your avatar up a little bit as to not embarrass them'. Not that I dance with a lot of people, but it does happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bree Giffen Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Tall is normal sized? I guess I'm tall then! Even at 6 feet tall most avatars are taller than me though. Don't see many swole avatars except for a werewolf or two at the welcome areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you’re more smol then the normals but can say you’re “tall” or “smol” if you want! Edited February 1, 2018 by Love Zhaoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pose or animation is created with a certain shape as the norm. What norm that is depends on the creator. Only in SL: That awkward moment when I was trying to hug my girl, but drove my arm through her gut and nibbled on her nose. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good “beds” let you adjust for size! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Falworth Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I am not sure what is normal in SL? I am considered "short" by many, and my avatar, though not a furry, is about 5 feet 8 inches or so.. rarely do I go above 6 feet. I find that I can get the proportions I like and curves I like by keeping my avi below 6 feet. Most of my guy friends are well above that.. though some have started to see the benefit of not being 7 fee tall lolol! But ya know, its all about what people like.. so.. I'm not one to judge. I just like seeing things proportionate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I think it all centers around proportions too.. mesh bodies/clothing will pretty much adjust just like real clothes do And I am by no means tiny.. just a bit "below average" I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peony Sweetwater Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'd say normal - which for SL would be considered abnormal - with a little bit of that middle aged spread added on. I'm usually about 1.7m. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoiraKathleen Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I am just right for me. I'm not often around a lot of people, so I don't know how I compare to the others out and about, though when I was out getting advent gifts, there were some places where I felt short and frumpy. I'm around 1.9 m bare feet or in flats, which is the shoe height I normally wear, so I guess that puts me a bit over 6 ft. However, I feel comfortable at this height in my house and with the furnishings - so, just right for me! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's true, when I am dancing with other people sometimes it's like I am floating in the air. I don't like seeing long legs, and since I am small in rl, I always went for a small avi in sl. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Meriman Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Scrawl (scrawny and small) Well, more androgynous, which is often frustrating thanks to the "you must have huge biceps" rule the Body Makers Association of SL enforce on their members. Almost always I stick to my normal size in RL and scale my world down to suit: 1,78M (or 5'9" in American measurement) Which isn't so bad next to a 2,20M person, but pretty shocking next to 3,0M 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
