Do you want people drooling over your profile?
Replies

I like when people drool, however if I was single, there would be no "lines' that wouldn'r be crossed, for now classy lady pictures. I say more power to the people who show it off, I would if my husband would let me lol0

Ugh negative.......................
My best assets are definately NOT on display (those are for hubby ONLY)...... and guys hitting on me here makes me want to puke.... just sayin'
... and yet your avatar is you dressed in a low cut top and a super short skirt with your leg up so you can see up it almost to your crotch?
gotcha!0 -
I wouldn't want someone from RL googling me and finding a semi-naked picture of me.
You shouldn't post anything (semi-naked picture or not) online that can come back to you with a google search.
Pretty much everything online is googleable. Most forums, this one included, are open.
You obviously aren't getting the point. If you google my full name, you are not going to find MFP in the search. Nor will you find the deals sites I go to. Or the finance sites I go to. Are there people capable of identifying my ISP and compiling information on me? No doubt. But not the average person doing a google search.0 -
I haven't made any judgement at all. I generally don't give a toss what other people do. But it's nice to know you are defensive to the point of insult. I'll avoid commenting on anything you write in future.
You're being disingenous. You started this topic. Everyone of your posts read along the lines of "Do you people really want to show so much skin? I'd feel like I was being trashy." If you don't think that's judgmental you don't understand the term. You can't say "Oh I really don't care what other people do" when you started the thread titled "Do you want people drooling over your profile?" Clearly it matters to you quite a bit.
No I haven't. I don't use words like trashy and haven't implied it. I did start the topic but I think you are confusing my replies with someone else's. All I have said is that I wouldn't get semi naked on an open forum. I wouldn't. I am hostly surprised so many people don't mind strangers seeing them like that, but that's not a judgement in any way. Surprise isn't disapproval. Not every statement has intent, which is something that people often find hard to grasp online.0 -
i was JUST thinking about this today!! i personally dont see the reason behind a *kitten* shot or a crotch shot or boobs.....your just ASKING for attention....and one's pictures just sum up who they are w/in a few glances IMO. vanity is a *****.0

And to that I say... you make a very good point. You never did accuse anyone of being trashy or slutty. In my mind (and I'm willing to bet the minds of many others) it was inferred. If all you wanted to do was express surprise it comes off making less sense than if you were trying to quietly pass judgment. If it's really no big deal to you I don't understand why start the thread? Clearly you know some people like the attention they get from the pictures they post, it doesn't take a therapist to realize that. So what's the next step? You say "Do you people like this? I know I sure don't. I think it's a bad idea to post pics like that on the internet." Well what response do you expect from people who disagree with you? You're saying that your statement has no intent. Ok. But why start a thread then?0 -

And that's fine, for YOU. I don't see anyone here telling you that you must. But your continued comments to or about those who have profile pictures that YOU would never post are coming across as very judgmental to or about those people. Some people just have a different reason / approach / outlook / perspective on the matter.
I haven't anywhere said people shouldn't post whatever pictures they want. I'm just asking what the intention is. No judgement implied.
I love the way some people manage to take EVERYTHING written online as a personal attack.
The initial post you asked the intention. Then when people said, "This is why I do it," you repeatedly said, 'I wouldn't do it" in a manner that comes across as insulting to anybody who would do it. It's one thing to ask intention. it's another entirely to tell people who provide you the requested information how your way of doing things is different because of x, y, and z, and fill it with the implication that they are wrong because they do not see things the way you do.
I do not see everything written online as a personal attack. I just feel some of the later-than-original posts you made in this thread came across as condescending and/or judgmental.0 -
being proud of what i worked so hard for and showing it off. if i would have someone drool over my pics or profile thats an extra compliment to me
I'm gonna amend my answer to agree with this.0 -

Definitely complimenting you right now!

I don't condem people for putting up their pics whether they be scantily clad or whatever. And I can't say that if I had the kind of body to show, I would do. I mean.. lol 50 this Friday, who wants to look at that besides my husband? lol But I don't think I would do it because of the steps that employers take these days to find out information about people.0

I want my profile pic to serve as a warning
Warning taken.. do not mess with you, or else you will get poked to death. ooy!0 -

I DIDNT TAKE ANYTHING AS A PERSONAL ATTACK! GOHH WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS ATTACKING ME!!!!??!!! WAHH!!0 -
I am proud! Although I am very critical of my body and I have a LONG way to go before I am perfect (in my eyes) I want to remind myself of what I have accomplished. I also want to show others what they can achieve.
u look perfect to me. id love to look like you!!!0 -
The bottom line is that it is a public,free to use Internet site and within the confines of the printed rules whatever a person wants to use as an AV is their business and theirs alone.
Everyone else is free to choose whether to interact with them or not or participate in the forums.
In short,if you think someones pic is too revealing or put up to attract attention from the opposite sex (I may have missed it but strangely no complaints about guys posting shirtless pics for some reason) just get over it,it isn`t any of your concern.
If it somehow affects your happiness then rather than carping about it some inner reflection seems like it should be more in order.0 -

i COMPLETELY agree0 -

....but you have to admit, the look at me I'm so kewt! pics BEG explanation...if only to call those people out!
we've all taken em.
I can honestly say I have never taken any of the pictures listed above.0 -

Hilarity. The internet is a strange place.
This whole thread makes me laugh. Love it.
Can you repeat that in English for me? I think I agree with you but I can't be quite sure...0 -
In my dreams! No-one would drool over my 44-year body whatever I did to it. But you can bet your booty, the moment I get down to my ideal weight, you'll be seeing a bikini picture. Not because I think anyone would drool over it or I'd find the next future-ex-Mr Berry, but because I'd be damned proud and I'd hope I'd be an inspiration to other older women looking to get a hod bod. How cool would it be to get asked, "How did you do that?!"
I have to tell you that I have a friend that is 41 and she is GORGEOUS! She has an awesome body!! She even looks better than girls 10 years younger than her! She is half Asian and sometimes I think that helps her out some lol..... BUT she takes really good care of herself. Don't think that just because you are a little older that you won't look as nice as a younger girl! I'm sure that you are beautiful inside and out! 0 -

I just wonder, looking at some people's profiles. Are you simply showing off your best bits in a being proud of you achievements way, or are you trying to look hot to the opposite sex?
At this particular juncture in my diet and physical fitness journey, my success is waning. So, right, now I'll just have to settle for looking pretty.0 -

Sure thing.

I disagree.0 -

Sorry. Those were the female category.
Males have their own asterisked self taken photo categories....but they seem less hilarious to me for some reason.
That said, I really can't imagine you taking any of those pictures. ha.
Yeah, I am more of a video guy.

EDIT: Ha! no wonder you aren't amused by the self portraits and/or think boob shots are funny, as I see one of your friends has a pair as a profile picture. Carry on not being amused, then! Enjoy those boobies!
If you click on the woman's profile, you will see she changed it from the boob picture. She changed it to a much better treat! 0 -
Well, comprehension leads to the formation of one's own opinion, in most cases, I'm glad I could help you to understand.
Congrats, and I'm sorry you do not think the thread is funny, because it has been quite entertaining for me.

How very dare you Madam. Please do not put words in my mouth. I have plenty of my own.
Now that you have sullied my good name with your monstrous assertions about signature portraiture I will bid you adieu! Please do not darken my doorstep again. Now where I can find some bewbs?0
