    No you wouldn't. That avatar is of a guy.

    I do get confused by that.

    Mind, on non-FF boards, people often think 'Cloudane' sounds feminine. Combined with the slightly non-masculine looks of some FF main characters that I usually have as avatars, people often wrongly think I'm a girl.

    well I find it funny to be mistaken for a girl. On a game IRC chat channel where I was a moderator and played a female character so many guys used to hit on me and I used to let them, then right as they were all like "OMFG I can't hold it any longer, you're so hot" I used to go and ruin it for them by going "ROFL I'm a guy IRL sicko!" then ban kick them from the chat. Yeah this was IRC and they had never seen a picture of me in their lives and yet they hit on me.

    I don't find it weird, but I tend to associate people's genders to the gender of the person in their avatar and/or signature. My avatars (I'm too lazy for a sig) are <i>usually</i> male characters from games/anime/tv series becuse I rarely ever find a female character that I find interesting. Most females in things I watch are either too much sugar n cream, damsels in distress or just plain annoying! So yeah.

    I don't mind at all. I have a wide range of Lene Marlin/Vanessa-Mae avatar and signature setups that I'll probably revert back to in a few days or so.

    uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"

    It's not weird, but it can be really misleading.

    I don't really care. I can usually tell by the way they write or the style the signature is done (Eh... don't ask. I'm bad at explaining.), and if I can't figure out by that then I'll assume they are of *insertgenderhere* gender based off my guesses and get on with life. Sometimes I'm wrong, sometimes I'm right. And if I do figure out that they're of the opposite gender, I just switch my thinking of them.

    Everyone thinks I'm a guy, because I always have either Tidus or Cloud in my Avy/Sig and I spell my name Jesse1

    FFXIV Character

    I do not think it is weird, though people in the past have thought I was a girl due to my sigs. *shrugs* I just make sigs relative to what I am interested in at the moment, whether it is my favorite character of an anime I am watching or a game I am playing or I have random moods. Thinking about it, I might make a Fate/Stay Night sig soon...

    I don't find it weird. My avatar is male.

    I thought Lindy was a girl for the longest time because he always had somewhat feminine sigs and avatars. I stick with the neutral gender for mine, as is evidenced by my robot and text.

    I don't think it's weird at all. I usually have females as my avatars, and I'm a girl. Once I had Squall as my avatar, cus I can relate alot to him, and once I had Sephiroth... I think those are the only males I've had as avatars.

    And signatures? I'm never changing mine. I <3 Rikku!
