Ever wonder if the picture people post are really them?

in Introduce Yourself
I have been looking at all the photos of beautiful pictures and wonder.....why are they the ones who have so many friends? I have chosen to not post a great picture because I am to afraid that is how I will be judged. Am I the only one that wonders that question?

    what i wonder most about pictures is the amount of selfies that are taken to show a good weight loss, is it too hard to ask someone to take your photo, its always a better picture when you dont have the camera in your hand.

    Or buy a mini tripod. That's what I have.

    My photo is just of my face. Normally when i lose weight it's the first place I notice it. So I just use that! Besides I'm a butter ball. I hate photos of my entire self lol! However I do keep one on my computer to remind me what I'm wanting to do!

    I think some of the people are here are just using stock photos or photos they found on the internet. There are so many people with just a selfie of good abs. My photo is me, some people on here have insulted my looks, but only those who aren't brave enough to show their own face.

    My profile picture is not me. It is Kyra Sedgwick. I aspire to her shape. We are close in age.

    how funny, I took down my photo because it seemed to be only men wanting to friend me, I'm happily married and I want to only friend women : )

    Haven't you all heard of Google reverse image search? Drag and drop the pic and the world is revealed

    Personally I don't care who is behind the pics , I'm here to support and be supportive
    I t is very nice to know that there are people out there willing to offer their time and effort to help you when you need it and viceversa
    if you think about it ... isn't this the definition of friends ?

    I can't say I've ever wondered about someone's profile picture unless it comes up in conversation over something they have posted. I haven't bothered to add a picture yet and I don't have any MFP friends likely because my diary is closed <shrug>

    This is the real me! Why does it matter? Do ppl look the same when they get out of bed? Dressed up? After a workout? Its their profile. Their lives. If they support me an encourage me..fine by me! I do the same 4 all my friends. Some ppl may share their entire life story, others wont. No big deal.

    My pic is really me. I never thought to use one of someone else because I'm here to lose weight. I figure if I can admit on a public website that I need to lose weight I might as well let everyone there see who I am, too! For other people, I can't say I've thought about it.

    Meh. Some people like to post pics that inspire them. I personally like to post pics of my legs because I'm most proud of them.

    "Left click -> Search Google for this image"

    It's worked a few times. It'd work for mine!

    It's me. I seem to get random friend requests... which must be due to my cuteness. I accept them all, but I don't really interact on people's walls, that I don't know... so, it's kind of pointless.

    As Popeye would say "I yam what I yam".

    But to answer your question yes I have wondered about that in a few cases...
