    Exactly how famous do you think I am?

    Think about this for a second before answering.

  • <---- It's because he's hot just look at him! It could also be because we really admire that person and using them as an avatar shows that.

    Maybe they use people they admire. Or for some other reason. Depends upon the person doing it

    Just a picture of who a person likes, showing you a little bit about their personality

    In most of cases it is done by people with low self esteem or wanna be like that people.

    Yeah, maybe. Maybe they could also be fans of that person. We can't all be like me, a black cat.
