Blessed2bLDS Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I know for myself...I am always the one behind the camera, so I don't have a lot of photos of me...don't know about others, but that's why I don't!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleWyvern Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 A lot of people (including myself) don't think it's a good idea to put their pictures on the internet. Generally, you don't want to put enough personally identifiable information out there so that somebody with a little bit of resources can uniquely identify you. From there you get into all sorts of trouble. Alternatively, you could just put a picture of something cool looking there and then hope people assume you also look cool. *whistles innocently* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolee65 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well for me lol,.this may sound alittle vain but ive changed so much since I turned 40 that I couldnt take a good picture if my life depended on it, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truegrits Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Wondering why a lot of people here don't put their real pic on their profile pic?Because there are so many other things I would rather look at, than my own reflection...

beefche Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Who says they aren't? I think Pale, Pam, Ceebo and a few others really do look like a horse, an orange person, and squirmy dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get confused when I see your name next to this new one--I keep looking for the pot bellied, funny looking person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbybug Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 my profile pic/avatar changes depending on my mood. if there's a pic of myself that i like, i'll use it. if i come across a funny pic (buddah gopher) i'll use it. if i come across a beautiful picture, i'll use that. just depends on what i find randomly floating around on the internet.

Guest Godless Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have a few pics of myself on my profile. I'm not ashamed to show off my hunkiness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Good call u "big hunk" from a secure guy saying it. (no wink and side hug with closed hand/fists and two fist pats and that's all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kulds Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I really don't like my pic so I'm probably never going to use one. Other then looks, pic's rarely say much other than race and gender. A personal picture won't suggest what someone's religion, political affiliation, and personal beliefs are most of the time. I think the pictures people use found on the internet (art, pictures of animals, cartoons) do reflect a lot of the individual's creativity and personality. Just my 2 cents.

applepansy Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I resemble an apple. . . I feel like an apple with a bite out of it. . . so this one seems to reflect me the best. A pic of me wouldn't do that. applepansy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelLynn Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I've used my real pic. Not too sure if I like it, it's pic when I was doing service with Americorps. But generally I am usually the one behind the camera soooo getting pictures of me gets to be difficult at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think pics are a distraction. They have nothing to do with who we are. In this setting it adds very little of value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the soul that illuminates. The physical appearance through a picture can be a distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
