Greetings.
Enyoying SL so far, one thing began to catch my eye: With the exception of a few Nekos and a few weirder looks, almost all males in SL look like mindless, musclebound wrestlers, preferrably blackhaired... with either a Rocker-look or a Smoking. (exaggerated, but.. you catch my drift)
Looking at my own Avatar, i saw im no exception, at least not in the shape + skin i brought. Trying to edit the shape made the skin look weird.. so... i wonder, if there is a store one can get the base for a nonwrestler- but still trained look.. think not of the hulking weight-lifter but more of the, say marathon-runner... or anything not on hight-power steroids. Oh, and still human.. im not into Furries, Nekos, Vamps.
Any Tips?
I suck at anything related to fashion (as Daria is going to point out if I don't get in first), but try going to some place like Redgrave where they have more 'normal' shapes and skins. Failing that just put on some sort of default Linden skin and do the shape yourself, then go skin shopping. If you're really into authenticity I have a supposed 'anatomically correct' shape made by a person working in that field I could send you just for a laugh, but it's not pretty.
Ignore the 11 foot tall 'incredible hulk' wannabes. Most folks are using SL for a very good reason, and those guys show their hand even before typing a word.
(Have a chat to Daria.. It might help. She's pretty much an encylopaedia of good stores versus crappy ones).
