    I appreciate people posting their pictures - whatever their reasons - because I find it very motivating!

    I haven't posted mine because A) I'm too lazy and B) I've only lost 1 pound so far.

    I wouldn't want someone from RL googling me and finding a semi-naked picture of me.

    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 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?

    If my new shoes are my 'best bits', that's a pretty sad state of affairs. :laugh:

    You shouldn't post anything (semi-naked picture or not) online that can come back to you with a google search.

    Imho, just about every post or reply you have ever made on this site comes across as very judgemental. But if it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother me in the least.
    Just returning judgement. Thanks!

    Yes and yes. Your socks are awesome too. What pattern is that?

    After everyone who's driven or walked past my back yard has seen me floating on a raft in my pool in my bikini, and everyone at Warrior Dash saw me running in a mini-kilt and bikini top, the very last thing I'm worried about is someone I know googling MFP.

    I'm more concerned about why people would be googling me than what they'd find if they did. :laugh:

    Pretty much everything online is googleable. Most forums, this one included, are open.

    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.

    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.

    If I had abs that look like some people's abs here on MFP, you'd be lucky I'd ever put on clothes.

    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.

    ... 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?

    EDIT: Person who was quoted conveniently changed her picture.
