Our avatar mesh is yuck. Maegen- I think that was one of the male’s biggest complaints and also part of Marissa’s paper- clothing and how it fits. Our avatar mesh is yuck.

My female friends (who number few) freaked out when they first saw us and one I think inadvertently made a mean comment before she found out what they were. I'm less overweight than he is, but we're both a far cry from the typical beautiful SL model look. My guy friends either didn't care or had enough tact not to even comment on the look. Going out in public, surprisingly no one said a word about my avatar, but we had two girls out-and-out pick on my husband. One of them called names and started telling me I ought to make him lose weight and that she'd be ashamed to be with such a fatass. The other kept kicking him around the store we were at and laughing at him. Regardless of whether it's an avatar created after our real life selves or not, if you are in a world where you can look any way you want, why do some people feel the need to tell you that the way you look is wrong? It is a strange world. On another note, finding clothes in SL that fit on a fat girl? Not so hard. On a guy? Imfreakingpossible. I don't know if the mesh is just weird, but the way the textures stretched over the body was just absolutely terrible.
