I lost 6 friends overnight after I created my avatar. I think it's probably because I chose skinny trousers and it offended the more masculine gamers I met whilst playing FPSs. I imagine they looked up their friends list to see what people looked like who they'd never met before and were like whoa this guy must be gay or something! hahaha.

I have a girl's haircut and no one's complained or anything. Your list must be full of dickheads.

Maybe they don't like hipsters who wear skinny jeans.

Maybe they don't, but that would beg the question of why they added him to their friends list in the first place.  We must investigate their true motives behind this sudden action.

Chances are with the launch of NXE those six people were looking to clean up their friends lists and remove those people they didn't know so well.
Doubt it was personal.

Giant Bomb members are permanently hip, so you shouldn't worry about that.

If your "friends" actually got rid of you for the way your avatar looked...I think you'd be glad to be rid of such douche bags.

My avatar is a tiger with long white hair, a white suit, hiking boots, brown gloves, and aviator glasses.

I get compliments all the time.

Skinny jeans are different then tights.  The Avatar creator has no skinny jeans; ergo you made your character wear tights.  Not saying there is anything wrong with that personally, just pointin' it out.

Exactly yeah, it's a good thing.
 
A friend of mine who is a woman (whoaaaa) has an XBOX (???) and the reverse is happening to her, she told me she's getting loads of friend requests since she made her avatar.

Actually the descriptions read: Skinny pants and Punk pants. If there was the option to wear tights I'd be all over it!

 I can't believe they'd remove you because they don't like your avatar. I'll admit though, I was surprised (and slightly shocked) at what some of my friends looked like.

I, too, am waiting for gene therapy to hit the mainstream.

Worse still are the women who feed off of that shit.

Maybe you shouldn't fill your friends list with random people you played a game of halo with 2 years ago...

I for one, kind of find it funny how an avatar (which might not even be a representation of the gamer) would lose you online friends. They must have been tools.

I really don't care that much actually. It's not hard to press the delete button. =p"
Zing!

I'm getting similar, though people seem to add then delete a short while later. Presumably once they've read my profile and realise i'm not a lady.
