[Thomas Ryan - Mad Tom]

I'm type one. And so I've been since I first lurked it the AT almost two years ago now.
I was born into an AT that valued matching extremely highly.
This kind of unbending rule has stuck with me and will continue to do so till I leave.

I've seen so very few of the type 2s that don't look like trash.
I suppose most of the clutterwhores are in there too.


I guess I don't adapt to change very well. xd

I agree that a lot of the unmatching avatars are pretty ugly, but I think a lot of matching avatars are pretty gross as well. I think the percentages from each group weigh out pretty evenly from each group as far as appeal goes.

In my eyes, at least.

I might be type 3. I will probably always have a blue hairstyle on this avatar no matter what people may say about it. >_> Other than that I add colors that may match or look nice enough to go with the outfit that I make for her.  

[S h ! r a]

I think i'm a type one. I always try to make sure that my avatars match.  

[Audhumla]

I wonder what my opinion is  

[QoM]

I wonder what my opinion is

definately a matcher.  

[Nappy]

I'm definitely a type 1.
The sad thing is, I'm kind of a matchwhore irl. xd
I love having shoes that match accents on my shirt, and jewelry that matches my pants, etc.
Even little bows in my hair have to match...
Ahaha..
But yeah, my avatars have to match well and be very unique. :3  

[.Some.Other.Mercy.]

I'd say I'm a number three.

I've been leaning towards making realistic avis lately, and well, they're not always going to match. I don't go out of my way to not match though. I suppose I just make what I like. n_n  

[cnflct!]

I'm a type 2/3, I LOVE Realism-esque avatars. But I can enjoy making one out of the ordinary when I feel like it.  

[The Lady Eyeball]

I'd say I'm a type three. I like to match, and completely random avatars bother me as much as completely matching ones.

But, as you can see, I also like to throw in items that knock off the balance completely if I enjoy the style/idea.  

[kimkat26]

I think for the most part I am type one. I like to match and like have color balance. I'm just not a fanatic about exact shade matching is all.  

[Lady_Threnody]

I am a bit of 1 and 3 but definitely not 2. I like matching my outfits and also coming up with themes sometimes. 3nodding

[candycrack]

I just don't care anymore.
Sometimes Ill match, sometimes I wont. I normaly however do not work well with themes and just lean twords something that pleases me. These day's color is the last thing I tend to look at, I like to look at the overall presentation and flow of the avatar.

Even if a outfit dosen't match the flow and overall appeal can be quite strong. Not being all matchy match also opens more possibilites for creating av's.  

[Pixie Saylor]

Type 1.
I'm killing myself right now because the sacred leaf doesn't match, but without it I have no green on my head.

Usually when this happens I just make a new avatar. xD
