    I am not a fan of putting up pics of myself because I don't generally like pictures of myself, and that is the picture I have to see every time I log in.

    Of course, I'm trying to get more comfortable with it... hence the current pic.

    Hard to pretend you're an 18yr old gym bunny if you're a 40 yr old 500pound welder.......

    I do not resemble that remark.

    ETA: Whats REALLY annoying however is when girls post some other girls pics they got from the itnernet and try and pretend its them. I would take the empty pics over that any day!

    THIS!!! Totally this!!

    All valid points above, but why are there so many without pictures (or filled in profiles) looking for friends on the Introduce Yourself board?

    I have a picture, but I haven't filled out my profile information. I've been here two years and still am too lazy to take the time to fill it out.

    This applies to guys as well. I have seen girls getting fooled by fake pics of guys. I always delete the moment I find out someone on my friend list is faking profile picture.

    Why are there so many users without a profile picture?

    Just curious...
    I don't know, but your profile pic is awesome. :laugh:

    Thanks :)

    I don't know what you're talking about, this is totally me.

    I have an estranged family member who internet stalks me so I try not to put up identifying pics. I go back and forth between having a profile viewable by all MFP members, with no face pics, and having a profile viewable only by my FL, with face pics. I really wish we had security settings for pics, or even better, individual pics, rather than just all or nothing based on profile settings.

    I thought they were app only members. Not me I have to share all this sexy! It's only right when you have so much.

    And we thank you for it! :love:

    'cos we are intimidated by all the slim young sexy things out there putting their skimpy clad pics on...... I much prefer the ones with pics myself....

    I think part of it is pure body issue concepts. I am fat and I do not want my picture taken. The other is privacy, which I can relate to. Facebook pretty much ruined privacy in the age of the internet.

    Because they're too sexy and don't want all of my dirty messages.

    It's a good question. I've heard from some that they just don't want to post a photo... Some say they don't think they look good so they put a photo of their pet or something else they enjoy or they don't put a photo at all... Me? I just put a somewhat current (less than 3 months old) photo up every once in a while... I don't mind people looking at my ugly mug! ;-P

    They are there to offset the members with too many pics. MFP can't handle the pic overload.
