Fishing for compliments?

I see a lot of posts on here that I suspect--and I am a highly trained investigator-- are people fishing for compliments. I also see a bunch of profile photos that I suspect may be fake. Seriously, what's up with all that? The topics of "give me a compliment", "would you date the person above you" , "my best feature", "hot affair, flirt or run like hell" and so forth.... what is the deal with all that? No?

Free entertainment & boredom is my guess for all of those threads.0

I agree. Anyone without a real picture of themselves I'm just going to assume must be ugly.0

Seriously, coming from a guy who has only recently been getting compliments after more than a few years of thinking he was the ugliest creature in existence, they can make a massive difference when trying to battle a lifetime of bad habits.

Everyone wants a little ego boost now and then!

Haha, I bet you're not.0 -
One does not need to be an investigator to realise this, it explains itself fully.0

Keep up the good work!0 -
Me too! Love it! Also, who doesn't like am ego boost every once in awhile?
Loooove that show0 -
Yeah, it grinds my gears if I'm honest.... 'Tell me I'm pretty'...'Am I am MILF?'.... 'Rate the person above you and tell the truth' etc...
Every fecker in that thread gives each other a 9. Hook those people up to a lie-detector test and do that thread live on Jeremy Kyle, liars get punished and then you'll see who is ACTUALLY a 9 and who is a 4/5.0 -
But nobody told me how awesome I am in the last 2 hours:sad: :sad: :sad:0

Well, obviously. Haha. The world is a pretty cruel place, a few threads where folks can feel good about themselves and make others feel good about themselves is not so bad in the grand scheme.0

Have I told you lately how incredibly sexy you are???0 -

Thinking about it, the obviously attractive people on here fishing for compliments is kinda funny. I'd be happy enough in myself if I looked half as ripped or attractive as half the people I see on here, without needing to ask for compliments!0
-
Me too, but I'm not angry about it. That just means less creeping and more cool peeps with a sense of humor and snarky, witty attitudes that I admire :flowerforyou:0 -
My profile pic is real. It's just a picture of myself that I happen to like. 0

The reasons for non-self pictures are many.....job, privacy, previous stalkers, current stalkers, husband or wife has requested no pictures, etc. I don't want everyone on the internet having access to my picture....which, once you put it up as an AV, anyome can use it. Try googling your username and images.....that's what I'm saying...sometimes discretion is necessary. The pictures you use as AV pictures cannot be made private...and anyone can see them.0
