  I'm sorry, but considering the male to female ratio of the players on WGT, women have plenty of choices for avatars. It was boneheaded not to give out female avatars, but there's about the same number of female avatars as male, yet there is at least 100 times as many guys playing -- thousands and thousands and thousands of them with the same avatar. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt women have that problem in multi player games, in almost every match. So yeah, they should have made a female avatar -- but they should have made a couple dozen males, too.

  Hi

  it's just the way it is. I am sorry, but I don't have an answer as to why and so on. Sorry :)

   

  Obviously it's not meant to be anything further than what it just is.

  I raised the issue a long time ago when another free avatar was offered, played the comp. then went excitedly to my inbox, only to find he needed a shave.

  WGT, THIS IS SEXISM !!

  please address this,

  Helen.

  Not good enough WGTicon both sexes play this game, or are we still only supposed to play on a Saturday afternoon when the " GENTLEMEN MEMBERS " are in the clubhouse.

  WOW!!!!

  I haven't seen anywhere in the game or when you register that asks for SEX or RACE.

  How would anybody know what to give you.

  I agree it would have been better if they created a selection of Avatars and let you choose one instead of just giving it out.

  What was that old saying about a "Gift Horse"?

  When receiving a gift be grateful for what it is; don't imply you wished for more by assessing its value.

  I see your point, Danny and I agree that there should have been a way to choose a male or female version of the same avatar.  

  I know it's free and the avatar doesn't really matter as much as the principle of it.  =)

  Lexus as in the car?  Maybe it's their fault!  That's it, I'm buying a BMW!

  I have to agree with you Helen-------I would be pi$$ed if I won an avatar and they sent me a ladies outfit. Although----come to think of it one of my fav female friends suggested I wear one after witnessing me miss putt after putt by inches !(pink TUTU I think was the suggestion) I don't think most guys on here are looking at it from that angle. It is rather insulting and should be easy to rectify.
