    As a newbie...

    1. This section of the forum is the only one that appears to have lots of "fakeness" and attention seeking behavior. Everywhere else people seem mostly genuinely concerned with improving themselves and helping others.

    And 2. Give yourself more credit! :)

    <---this is totally me. :tongue:

    but on a serious note I think the people using fake pictures like that (not the goal pics) just want attention or are trying to get a date. idk people are weird sometimes. :ohwell:

    Not my picture

    I realized pretty fast that most people do not take the time to read profiles. I have had multiple pictures that I thought would be obvious to all that they were not me. I also had a disclaimer in CAPS on my profile stating the pictures were not me. Still got endless friend requests from women loving my abs. I eventually just closed my profile to friends only and do not accept invites. My friends know what I look like. That is really all that matters to me.

    Honestly, the abs in your avatar are kind of intimidating. But I do love the quote!

    My profile pic is not me although the likeness is uncanny.

    I'm sure nobody will notice the difference

    I think that most of the time this is fairly innocent and people are posting goal pictures but maybe their ego gets the best of them so they don't feel like making it clear that it is just a goal photo and not actually them.

    if i shave my belly hair to make it look like i have abs, does that count? :-p
    That could be a topic thread all to itself.
    Or fake tan "shading" :laugh:

    I agree!!! I've seen one girl posting what appears to be body parts of many different women and oddly enough her face is NEVER in any of the hot parts pics, but only face shots. ....SMH
    Exactly. And my point to that is... wtf? If you don't want to use your real picture, I get it. I'm not exactly "pretty." But why try to deceive other members. That's just kinda creepy.

    I guess people use other people's photos for the same reasons people lie about how much weight they lift, or how much money they make. People are posers, fakers and insecure.

    Yeah, I love the quote also. I thought that choosing an ab pic with a motivational quote and website on it that it would eliminate the "nice abs" friend requests. I was wrong. :noway:

    Dont act like you dont know the psychology behind why people use fake photos. You know very well why, this seems to be another one of your "social" experiments Gorilla ;).

    Yep. It happens. And certain people keep creating profiles and then deleting them, all the while using photos of someone else. Friggin weird-*kitten* mofos out there. :huh:

    I'm always skeptical about adding someone with a "fake" picture. Especially if they don't have information on their page.

    I never got the fake pictures myself, either. I have personally been accused of using fake pictures, though, which is a riot. If that were the case, I'd get one with some massive cleavage.
