It depends on what your definition of an avatar.

From dictionary.com:

av?a?tar ( P ) Pronunciation Key (v-t?r)
n.
The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form.
An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype: the very avatar of cunning.
A temporary manifestation or aspect of a continuing entity: occultism in its present avatar.

[Sanskrit avatra, descent (of a deity from heaven), avatar : ava, down + tarati, he crosses; see ter-2 in Indo-European Roots.]

That's the original definition. It's a spiritual term.

However, for online computing:

avatar

1. <chat, virtual reality> An image representing a user in a
multi-user virtual reality (or VR-like, in the case of
Palace) space.

2. (CMU, Tektronix) root, superuser. There are quite a
few Unix computers on which the name of the superuser
account is "avatar" rather than "root". This quirk was
originated by a CMU hacker who disliked the term
"superuser", and was propagated through an ex-CMU hacker at
Tektronix.

Originally it's meant to be an image representing a user in a virtual online space.

I went ahead and asked some of the guys on one of the forums I run where a few of them have female av's.... the general consensus is that they chose them because they like looking at them LOL.. so it's official, men who use female av's are lust-driven perverts (*hastens to add "joke!!!!!!!!" before I get chased with pitchforks or something*)

On another point brought up in this thread, ALL women are crazy... and beware the ones who deny it - they're the worst of all! (I can say this with complete sincerity, being female and .. yeah... as crazy as they come) But hey, crazy is good.... you can have lots of fun with crazy people

I see.

Well mine is of Japanese Pop star Ayumi Hamasaki. ^_^

I like her, therefore my avatar is of her.

Need more reason?
