It all depends on where I am, and who I'm with.
My usual hangout works hard to be an immersive RP style sim, and people there do a good job. It's a team effort, really - everyone kinda shares the same goal. We might not all be trying to live another life, or be another person, but in some ways we're all looking for a little escape from the everyday.
SL gives you all the tools you need to do that. It just comes down to finding the right people to do it with.

A few tweaks since the last time.
The list is as follows...
Head: Lightstar "Robin" bento mesh head
Body: Nardcotix "David"
Hair: Dura - Boy #44
Eyes: Avi-Glam Ardor Green
Skin: VYC - Dante #2
Beard: Purfect #6
Suit: GAS Clothing "Social Suit"- 8

So this took me a little while to put together but I think I'm happy with where it's at for now. I wanted to do something a little different from the usual choices you see when it comes to the mesh body parts. I also didn't want to spend quite as much as the usuals cost.
This is the NX-Nardcotix David mesh body, paired with the "Robin" bento mesh head from Lightstar.
The head & body skin is from VYC (in their tone #2), who include a Nardcotix applier for the body, and the head was omega (Dante skin #2).
I'll probably keep tinkering with it but I like how it turned out.
Plus, a little more grey in the hair & beard and I think I could pass for a TV dad from a 90's sitcom.

Looking back at my old stuff is almost cringe-worthy...but I don't begrudge the avatars of the time. We did the best we could with what we had.

The key to free/cheap stuff as a male avatar is vigilance - eternal vigilance!
The really good-looking stuff doesn't come up that often, but when it does you have to pounce on it. Eventually you'll build up enough of a collection to build multiple outfits/looks. This thread is a great example, as it pointed out a few things I otherwise would've missed.
The last few years have been difficult for me financially, and I know in the economic circumstances we've had the last 4 or 5 years I'm not alone. Putting money into SL is a luxury I can't always justify, and I'm always appreciative of the content creators who are willing to give quality stuff away for free (or almost free). Those are the people I return to when I finally do have a little money I can justify spending.
How does your avatar look today ?

It took me a long time to settle on an overall style for my av, but I've looked this way in one form or another (via different mesh parts/skins) for nearly a year now. Considering I used to feel like changing something every few weeks because I wasn't quite satisfied, I guess this means I've finally "found myself" in SL.
