Hey, I think an avatar is a pic of something that we find interesting, like this X5 site. Mine is of my only dog, she (female) is a great dog. I, being male, have no problem using my dog as an avatar and as my online name. It's all in fun. I too have been an avid weight lifter for about 10 years and even did one natural competition.

I'm thinking don't try to guess, or make sense out of avatars, just enjoy the pics.
