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

    Yeah, I don't know if you're understanding it. The picture is a joke. It's me, but if you think I walk around shirtless, wearing red bandanas and aviators, you are mistaken. The picture was intended to be tongue-in-cheek. I understand how that is probably not very obvious, but I think it's worth clarifying. Sorry for giving the impression that I think I'm some totally bandana-worthy guy. Another example would be my username. I don't think of myself as some Dungeons-and-Dragons-esque level 12 paladin who metes out Justice; it is a joke, as is a lot of my profile. I guess I have a weird sense of humor.

    I just did this to see. In addition to my Twitter account and my MFP account, it also brings up someone's World of Warcraft Level 31 Druid named "bhalter," AND someone on TruckerPassions.com that is looking for a "hot hairy man."

    I like my privacy, but finally posted a face pic because there ended up being a huge difference in the shape of my face before/after.

    Only very few friends and family know that I use this site -- the shirtless body shots are fine within the context of this site, but my general impression is that acquaintances/co-workers etc. not following the fitness/health lifestyle may not get it.

    Is that a hairy armpit you are showing off in an artistic way?

    I was just messing with you anyway. I have a weird sense of humor as well.

    Personally, I don't care what people use as their profile picture, but completely understand why some don't want their face on here.

    I think part of it has to do with how small these pics are in the forums — if you include your face, suddenly your body is so tiny you can hardly see anything.

    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. :tongue:

    I could photoshop if for you Jill:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Dude, inside all of us is a truly bandana worthy guy. Sport it.
    Here is me 6 years ago and 30 pounds lighter sporting a sleeve bandana. That's right. I CUT MY SLEEVE AND MADE AN EPIC HEADBAND! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v615/Xbwalker/Brancool2.jpg
    Edit: BLAH!!!! Someone tell me how to link a pic properly.

    Like that! You put directly in front of the link and directly after, only lowercase and no spaces.
