    I agree there is to many shady people and if they can't show u a real picture then why be friends with a faceless person ? And for people who don't want to show there face then don't expect others to open up ... Without trust u got nothing ...

    This is the internet. The only thing you can trust in is that you can't trust it.

    besides, trust is way overrated

    I mean, really... how much trust is really needed if you both agree not to trust each other?

    simple is good.

    Disagree.
    I only accept requests from people I've interacted with in the forums/friends posts or if they send a request message good enough to sway me. If they don't want to reveal who they are that's their choice just as its yours to not want friends without pics.

    Disagree. You have the option of declining a friend request. I don't have the option of keeping my privacy if I post my real pic. No one is on your page that you didn't manually add. This is on you.

    Looking at the post counts of users on this thread without 'real' photos makes it a little ironic...

    Alanis should have added that line to her song. "It's like 10,000 posts when all you need is a pic..."

    I add people if I know a bit about how they think; if they seem intelligent and rational.

    I don't add people who blindly send me "Friend Requests" without some sort of introduction, picture or not.

    Saying you will not accept a "friend" who doesn't have a picture is silly because pictures can be of anyone and from any time.
    That is my opinion anyway.

    I was on here several years ago and that's definitely how I was. haha. I'm back now! woo.
    We should be friends! But don't send me an FR because I'm 100% FL free baby!

    You should try my approach. I have a friend of the month. Then they are dead to me. And I delete then add a new friend of the month. Repeat.

    I like that idea. Who would you recommend that I try first?

    I will only kik with people with real pics because I'm not trying to Internet hookup with any uglies, but i don't care what you look like on mfp.

    Well on my KIK, I still don't show my face. It's just my dingus.

    Pictures just distinguish one profile from another relatively quickly. If someone wants to friend me it doesn't matter if they have a picture or not. Pretty witty discussion. :)

    I totally judge people by their profile pics...

    I don't necessarily agree, but if that's the experience you want to have that's cool. You do you.

    Wait, you mean you don't have thousands of applications and requests sent to you every week?

    I am praying and doing a naked dance hoping I get picked for May. I may even break out my bikini pics! (or at least the ones with my head photo shopped on)

    I don't need to see a photo of your chest to talk to you.

    Are you looking for a date?

    I'm just here to lose 10 pounds and tone up a bit. I don't need to see a photo of your chest to talk to you.

    Preach!! It's the guys with profile pictures like that that make me wonder their true intentions on this site.

    I've belonged to many forums and none of them use real pictures, it's bizarre to me when people do.

    I figure using a real picture of me, although using a snapchat filter, helps keeps the pervs out of my inbox.

    Am I a perv for snickering when I read that?

    Not at all... I figured someone would pick up the double meaning there.
