What is the deal with faceless body part profile pics?

Joannie30

I can see both sides of this one. I like to see who i'm interacting with, but i understand that its a personal choice....

Well I think it would be odd to ask my daughter to take a hot pic of my boobs that included my face. When I take the picture myself I can't ever seem to look good in both places at the same time. Guess I should have my best friend take a pic............next time I see her and I'm looking sexy I will!!

Some people don't want their face all over the interwebs...it's a personal choice. Google your username and you might be surprised.

I googled...and I WAS surprised.

holy crap...me too!

I think it has to do with identification. Some people don't want to be identified and want some privacy.

Personally I wouldn't want to post pictures of my body and my face together either because I don't want my manager or coworkers every coming across them.

I totally understand. That is what private messaging is for.

I can pretty much *kitten* to whatever, so I ain't even mad.

Cause if you want abs like this, your face is usually drowning in sweat.

Some of us are ugly.

What should I put a picture up of?

I think it's ridiculous to post the body parts. That's the reason I'm sick of facebook and the ever-pase myspace. I thought it would be nice to join a community where people are supportive and friendly. You don't have to show your face, but why your six-pack and your breasts and your tramp-stamp? I thought people on this site were trying to get fit, not showing off how already fit they already are.

And getting your daughter to take a "hot picture of [your] boobs"? Is that setting a great example...

My last progress pics, it was the one of my back I liked the most. It's hard to include your face in a shot like that.

NancyNiles

Because it wouldn't be fair to all the other girls here to post a pic of my body AND face jk

I have a sign that used to be on my desk that says "I'm fat because it wouldn't be fair to all my coworkers to be this funny, smart, beautiful AND skinny!"

Strange,I get a lot of requests to not post mine but I ignore them.


Hey,wait a minute!

HAHA.. you always crack me up when I read your responses. Just thought you should know.

On the note of the question posed I personally agree I like to see people's faces. I'd rather see their other pics on their profile if I'm their friend or if they have their profile available. i get the need for "anonymity" to a point. It's not like you're on here doing illegal activities. I think if there are people in real life that are on this site that see me that's just one more person that can support me up close! What a great thing to find someone else that actually knows me in real life who is following the same journey as I am!

The likelihood of actually finding someone randomly that you know is pretty slim though, but maybe that's just because there aren't a lot of people from my little town on here. If I did find them I'd be happy to go out for a non-fat latte with them! That is all!

Maybe they are really scary looking but have nice bodies.

Kidding, most have legitimate privacy concerns which make total sense.

I do not post pictures of my face because people say my head is as big as George Lopez.

Holy sheit dood your head is a big a George Lopez. :laugh:

My friends can see my face...then they can choose whether to unfriend me our not!!!!:drinker:

This is me, in my younger days.

Nothing to be surprised about. Unless someone knows your username, why would they google a username they don't even know exists? And if someone does know your username, that means they know you from MFP.

I'm ugly in the face.

No you're not ugly but remember beauty is only a light switch away! :bigsmile:

The profile picture cuts it off of my pic. It's there in the picture...

Trail_Addict

I'm slowly piecing myself together out of spare parts from the bodies in my basement.

SergeantSunshine_reused

Its a fitness site not facebook... o.O

DaughterOfTheMostHighKing

they like their body more than their face? I'm more comfortable with showing my face right now... but my bod's shaping up.... lol!!! besides, I've tried getting a shot of me entirely, and my macbook will take fuzzy photos... lol!!!

I think they chopped their heads off to lose some weight :P

hesn92

Why not?? if I was really proud of a part of my body I don't see anything wrong with me taking a picture of it and setting it as my avatar. Like if I had really nice abs, for example. Which I don't.

dhencel

I have a problem with people posting face picture, then not posting it later on.. So is this weight loss them or someone else?????? It looked like one girl had breast augmentation on one and not a later one??!!!!
