"In Time" is a Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried 2011 sci-fi movie where people stop aging at age twenty-five. People are able to live youthfully forever, but lifetime is sort of a currency where the wealthy can live forever but the poor are sentenced to die early. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1637688/ That movie reminds me of Second Life because in the virtual world most of the human and humanoid avatars mostly look like young adults who most likely will not age as time goes on, just like in "In Time".

Thanks for the replies everyone. Yeah, I agree SL should be a place where you can be allowed to be anything, even the (imaginary) person you desire. (Yes, I know I opened Pandora's Box with this thread.)

I probably mentioned it here before, and I know it sounds pathetic, but I like to make pretty female avatars to look at because I don't have a girlfriend in real life.

Another interesting response. Yeah, I see what you mean that non-humans can also be diverse and customizable, but why I find human avis most interesting is more due to a "social science" perspective. But your post makes sense and I agree.

Ah interesting. Yeah, I agree it's harder to customize non-human avis. I haven't and will not stop using them, though.

...the most interesting avatars (as a group) happen to be humans themselves. Why? It's a little hard to explain, but I guess it has to do with the diversity of human avis. Humans can be different shapes, sizes, colors, and all sorts of physical features. They can have different hairstyles, clothing, accessories, and others. This diversity of humans is kinda interesting to observe and study (hence all the university and graduate students coming to this board wanting to make studies on Second Life avatars.) You can for example, see how human appearance in Second Life compares to that of the real world. You can see how the treatment of different types of human avatars reflects that of the real world. I guess to sum it up as badly as possible, human avatars are most interesting because of the science involved!

Have the Lab turn them into one second orbs instead! Ain't that a woman's name? Nope, sorry, we're all badly scripted chatbots. Sorry to burst your bubble. When you're hungry. PBR? Reminds me of Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches. So yeah. But it is a game. (Actually, that's pretty apt for this topic and I guess me as well....) What is real? How do you define real?

What is your favorite non-human avatar?

Why did you leave IMVU for Secondlife?
Gopi Passiflora replied to Calartuir's topic in General Discussion Forum
Freedom. (But I still log on IMVU from time to time.)
