Why aren't there avatars for us seniors?

My avatar looks like I did 30 years ago. There is some grey

hair, but not on all hairstyles. Avatars should be designed for

different age groups. Why aren't they and what do you think

of this?

Excellent question, did you post it in the forum, at the top of the page, on your right. I think that would be great? If you post it, I will vote for it!!

They could put hair rollers and false teeth and all kinds of fun stuff to add to your avatar. I'm not kidding. Personally, being a retired ships Captain, I need my parrot on my shoulder. I'm missing my parrot:~)

Cause the world is completly composed of skinny, beautiful, young people. Just like on TV. Us fat, old, wrinkled folk should just pretend we are skinny and beautiful so we don't bother the actual skinny beautiful people. Now get back in line for the Soylent green factory.

I think most seniors are delighted to be able to hide behind a photo of how they looked 30 years ago.

As another example of a representation that is more like a flashback, if you ever looked in the newspaper and saw an obituary for some person who was highly successfully in their life you will see a shockingly-young photo there. Even though the headline may say "Former King of Belgian Congo dies of old age" the photo shows an unwrinkled 40 year old smiling at Harry Truman.

However you are right that if you choose to show a realistic avatar it would be nice if Yahoo offered that choice. I think you will be uniquely doing that but it is your choice. You could always do a generic geriatric and donate that avatar to Yahoo so they can offer it without their having to put any effort themselves into making one.
