    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.

    as soon as i get a pic of me that is cooler than my avatar, then i will use it.



    i don't see that happening any time soon.

    Good point Wolvie. I think I should go find some Rogue pics and replace my cat (don't tell him, he'll be like OMG WTF)

    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!

    So much this! ^^^^^

    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.

    Which is a lovely pic! :flowerforyou:

    I prefer to have something that makes me smile or motivates me as a profile pic.

    Like this one to stop me heading to the fridge!

    I just had a generic pic of my roses for the first year I was here. I wanted privacy, and I was not here to socialize. Then I started realizing that if I'm going to give some BTDT advice on the forums, I need to show what it does/did for me.

    I have had some very sweet PMs since posting pics, but some creepy. I figure if I'm going to go around with a pic of my *kitten* as a profile pic (really, it was just to show what running had done for the side of my hips), I might get some odd PMs. At my age, they make me laugh. =)

    Oh, I love this answer, you are awesome (SoViLicious) !!!! I wish I had that much confidence in myself.

    To answer the original question, I didn't put my picture on for several weeks when I first joined becasue I've always hated any picture taken of me. After reading the forum for a while and seeing everyone's before pictures, I had my dh pick out a recent picture of me that he liked and I'm using that. I really hope at this time next year I can post a beautiful sexy AFTER pic of me! We'll see, but that's the plan :happy:

    I'm too sexy to upload a read photo. Also, witness protection program.

    They want to be anonymous? But that doesn't stop them from having a pic up like mine - can't tell who I am from that....Probably laziness, don't know how.

    Is wanting privacy that outlandish, really? I just posted on a thread about vajine haircuts. Sometimes I talk about personal stuff, too.

    All the reasons above.

    For me though, I find it keeps me accountable that you guys all know I'm a 40lb feline.
