Does anyone REALLY need to see me?

in Introduce Yourself
So my profile photo is a flower (I took the photo). Should I have a headshot or selfie instead? Does anyone care what my face or body looks like? Not that I'm shy, just wondering.

    I also don't have a photo of myself, it's your choice and whatever you feel comfortable with.:happy:

    I don't care (in the nicest possible way). Have what you want to have. Real pictures of people make it more personal, but a lot of people would rather not have photos on themselves on forums for privacy reasons.

    For me its more of a privacy/safety thing why I don't post photos of myself. personal preference ! :)

    Personally, it doesn't matter to me at all. I don't do pictures of myself.

    My picture was a balloon until I lost some weight. I just didn't like pictures of my face until I slimmed down a little. It's totally up to you.

    I have not posted a pic of my self either. I think that support comes from al different walks of life. For me I'm looking for words of support. I think that whe nyour ready to show your self you will as will the rest of us

    Its all about you and what your comfort level is. I have friends that don't even have a pretty flower or a clever saying on their pic. Last I knew, it was all about support and motivation :-)

    I occasionally put up a pic if it's a theme say or I have a new outfit I'm excited to share with my FL but other than that I use stock photos. Not important what someone looks like; what's important is the support we offer each other.

    Mine is of my belly currently to make myself face that I shouldn't let one body part run my life.

    I have used mostly photos from races that I have ran of myself. It's up to you, either way doesn't matter to me.

    I used a picture of myself from 3 years ago, when I (IMHO) looked good and felt good. Every time I see it, it reminds me of why I am doing this.

    But I don't think anyone cares how you choose to represent yourself. This isn't match.com :)

    As others have said, depends how comfortable you feel about it

    One plus, depending on your local area & choice of MFP friends is you or they may spot you and say hello

    I have had this happen, as have some others, but it does really depend on where you live I guess

    You will see I currently do not have a pic up

    I don't suppose it really matters and it is certainly your choice but I find I feel closer to friends who have pics of themselves and/or families and we tend to chat more than I do with friends who don't have a pic of themselves.

    I don't post personal/selfies picture either because for me privacy is very important, and that is why I am not on Facebook. Pictures of my roses or my garden show my personality (they are my selfies...).

    If I were to post a personal picture it would be only for the people in my friend's list to see, and not as the main photo to show in the forums.

    Your weight loss is inspiring. Kudos to you!

    Use whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Some people on my friend list have their photo up, some don't, it doesn't affect our friendships :smile:

    I'm somewhat private, but who am I kidding. AriDublyu.com reveals who I am... And these posts get onto Google.

    I love the roses!

    Thank you, I love your flower too, it looks like a white daffodil. Am I correct?
