Andrew, I play Second Life, there is a huge mix of avatars on there - fat, thin, young, old, etc. - due partly to the massive array of creative tools available to the players and partly due to the type of people who play it. I can definitely recommend it.

Neat stuff, fun to play around with but I'm not sure I really see the point. Is it really just chats with figures running around?

That's right, Fenriq, that's right. Nothing to see, move along.

I've been playing There since January 5th. Although "playing" isn't exactly right as it's not really a game. Chatting is a big part of There, although there are activities such as buggy riding, hoverboarding, hoverbiking, quests, owning/building homes, etc.
The avatars in There are said to be about 25 years old or so. You can customize size/shape/facial features/skin/hair quite a bit.
There has a free two week trial period. That should give you a good idea as to whether or not it's your cup of tea.
If anyone is interested in trying it out, email me and I'll give you my avatar name so I can show you around.
