This is pretty much all me.  Wal-mart photography, surprisingly satisfactory.

I'll associate that image with the person, but I don't actually think that's what the person looks like. But I have been known to say "she" or "her" in relation to male members that have a female anime character as their avatar. So I suppose in a way I do a little bit. And I do like the idea of people thinking I'm a giant anthropomorphic bear.

No.... but I base my opinions of that person by their Avatar and what they're saying.  Though my avatar kinda looks like me sooo.... It wouldnt be terrible for me to assume that other avatars look kinda like there respective owners.

I'm a skilled Fox that can hold a knife, I took that picture in my house and posted it on the internet which then somehow got onto google images. If you type in Foxhound Logo then poof! There I am! :) I'm related to Mysterious Fox you know? We hang out at the shrine and we laaauugh!

I'm going to assume you are referring to icons which use real photographs.  And, it depends on if she is cute. ;-)  If it's a guy, though I usually assume it's a fake.  After all, in what reality does Brad Shoemaker look like J Allard?

Woah the first time i saw your avatar i thought it was the dude from Harry Potter
 
 
And no a majority of people don't have avatars of themselves or an actual person, so that would be a bit stupid of me.

You just have to decide if I'm Fezzik, Inigo or Vizzini.

That bear is very cute. If people say this, you should be flattered. I'd love it if people thought of me as a big teddy bear, honestly.

I don't assume that people look like their avatars (unless it's a photograph, in which case I do (unless I know it's not them)), but I definitely assume something about the person based on their avatar.

I associate the avatar with the name, but I don't think people look like them.
 
Always throws me for a loop when someone changes their avatar.
