    My pic changes with my mood. But if this one affects perceptions, good. I'm a strong Southern woman in no mood for argument. I wish I could post it on my office door too.
    Awesome logic. I need one in mine as well.

    Mine changes with my mood and often times isn't even a picture of me. Usually it's some b!tchy or sarcastic saying but always the truth.

    Always updated progress pics or of my grandbaby.....
    Its possible I may refuse a request if there is no pic....I figure a serious person would have a pic...
  • I choose a profile pic that makes me feel pretty and confident. I hope that others see it that way too!

    oh definately YES. I had one up yesterday that caused quite the stir.. so I have decided to since then tone it down. Not sure all my friends like that either.. but.. had to do it. : ) I like showing off my body / my hard work.. and I just went alittle too far.
  • aha probably.
    you guys tell me!

    Never. People have actually been very sympathetic towards the injury displayed in my current photo. Lesson learned: needed to find out if the Marilyn Manson rumor was true and lo and behold, It's not. Now I'm down two ribs and suffering a severe spasm in my neck.

    I have no clue as to my own picture. I picked it because I didn't know if I wanted my face shown. I made the mask as part of the open house event at my college. I was helping out in the art education room as part of my degree/student teaching. And even if it isn't technically my own face, I feel like it represents who I am in the classroom and out.

    I feel like I relate to faces more in pictures, if I see a picture of abs, I feel like I'm talking to the abs and not the person. Whatever I see I tend to assume that is their top priority.

    I want everyone to see me as a sarsaparilla-chugging male weight lifter.

    How does my current pic come across? Obviously not me. Usually I do have my own pic up sat behind the wheel of my car. Otherwise if I want to draw the curtains for a while, so to speak, I stick a random quote like pic up.

    Today - NO - I was pissed off and needed something to put a smile on my face. It's made a lot of other people smile too!

    (BTW I'm not male and unfortunately don't have a body like Ricky! Damn!)

    Yes because some think this is not a sports forum, but who cares. I discuss health and fitness all the time unless anyone messages me to talk about something else! Face and no shirt pic is in my profile for my friends to C!

    Yes it does, I learned a lot of people aren't fans of the bald look.

    I picked this picture because it is one of the few pictures of myself that I think I look ok in.

    I suppose. I'm not a fan of hiding behind generic profile pics. Either you like me or you don't. *shrug*
