i just wondered what reason people could not have for posting ?????

i mean i can see if you have said that your a right stud it would be rather embarrassing to post your photo if you are really a scrawny geek or if your a lady who has posted you have massive boobs and really you are as skinny olive oil

but what possible reason could people not post their photo ... fraud .. i mean if i had not seen the photo jess could of been a girl l by the way he posts :wah::wah:

jim stop being a silly girl .........................ps i will get ya cap

Jimbo, Good question...I think there's a lot of reasons.

*no diggy camera

*don't know how to upload

*just don't want their mug on the net for privacy reasons

*or feel that they don't look good ,and people will judge them. How often have people chatted with someone and then looked at their pic and said, "Ooooohhhh, I didn't know you looked like that...." in a negative way

Guess that some people just love you for who you are and others want you to look and behave a certain way. Otherwise they don't want to know you. Dr. Phil had a show on yesterday about people who will not even look at you unless you're of a certain caliber....right looks, right hair, good shoes, pretty eyes....yada yada..........

I have a pic of me and my grandson in my profile and a pic of my family on one od these threads. These are pics that are at my shop that the wife brought down. I would put more up if I had them but I do almost all of my posting from work so don't have the pics here or on my comp.

That's because you're special Jimbo....You have a big heart, and we love you for that:-4 Not everyone is kind and considerate.

It took me years to work up the nerve to put mine here after I did post a pic once (not here), and someone from my past I didn't want to find me, found me.

:wah::wah:I'm a skinny bird with big boobs but dont mind showing my feet.

If you wanna pic of me I'll willingly mail one but I hate the thought that the geezer living in the same town as me knows the ins and outs of my life.

Let's face it, none of us know each other personally ( I know, there are some exceptions) and if like me, you live on your own, it's better to be safe than sorry.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts too, plus I have a nutty ex husband!

I know, the regulars here know where to find me :wah: I just don't like too many photos going up, some have been posted without me realising they were going to be posted. I'm a bit more relaxed about it now but I still would never put my photo up as an avatar or post photos of my children.

Leave my boots out of it!! :wah:

Pheasy · Post by **Pheasy** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 4:45 pm

I didn't post any photos of myself or family until I got to know people here. I see what people are saying about weirdos, but unless you have someone in your past or someone who would stalk you regardless, I'm not sure that by posting a picture of yourself would cause problems (any more than you might get). I guess if you started getting intimate with a weirdo on-line you could be on dodgy ground.

Okay I'm gonna remove my avatar (which is not me really but a russian tennis player :wah:) and put up the one that suits my character. Something like Mrs Potato Head or

Sandy from SpongeBob. Any suggestions?

:wah:

Thats not true. I've seen your piccy, and I think you look as wonderful in person as you are in 'on-line' chats. :-4 :-4

i can honestly say that the people i like on fg i like for the people they are not for the way they look

and if i did not like someone it would not matter how good looking they were i'd still not like them

do you think that maybe we put to much importance on looks

Yes I do think that society puts way too much importance on looks

Pheasy · Post by **Pheasy** » Wed Nov 14, 2007 9:59 am

Yes I do think people put too much importance on looks.

But I would say (I can't speak for other forums) here at FG people seem more interested in personalities than looks. We have a great set of people here, who cares what they look like.

Well .... except for Spot of course .... Spot's posts scare the hell out of me .... I wonder if looks that scary. :-3

Not really Spot, just joking with you :-4

Id like to see your sweet face pink.....

And yes, we are a society completely absorbed by physical apperance. I was forever cured when I met all of the incredible online friends in England. Not that they werent all nice looking..... but we were an unlikely group of people, all very different. None of us probably would have approaced the other to be friends, if we had just seen each other in real life. I fell in love with everyone. Missed them for a very long time.

I love having debates with Spot - he usually pushes me into a corner though -

Dang! I never learn :-5

Do you think I should edit my post?

I was joking - I just felt like picking on someone - hell I'm the some who normally gets picked on in real life
