Members w/out Profile Pics..

Do you accept their Friend Request??

Personally: I know that this is a social network for fitness. So some of us might not like pictures as much as the next person but if I get a FR from a person without a profile picture AND without a message, I auto-decline. I don't care much for the message but I don't know if you're a creep or not. No profile picture makes me think you're going to be weird. LOL

I'm just wondering, what the rest of you do when this happens.

[If can't even know(see) who is commenting me or PMing me then its creepy to even have them as a 'friend'.

How is it creepy?

Just stated how above! Thank you :-)

Avatars and "some kind" of picture is not a problem!! and MOST people that have no profile pic has NO info on their page either.

I have a friend that has no avatar or pic, but they socialize and are very supportive. I could care less what they look like.

I don't care how anyone looks like either because I'm not near perfect myself but I'd like to have a face match a name!

Can't you understand the desire for some to have some bit of anonymity? That doesn't make them creepy.

Why in the world would your profile photo / avatar matter on this site? This isn't myspace, or friendster, or facebook is it?

I could care less if this was MySpace, "Friendster", or Facebook same concept would apply. If can't even know(see) who is commenting me or PMing me then its creepy to even have them as a 'friend'. I don't see why people would get on a social network and not add a picture of themselves.

Because not everyone is here to socialize. It is THEIR choice and THEIR choice only what they choose to do on this site.
For a lot of people this is simply a tool to better themselves and that is their personal choice and no one has the right to judge them, plain and simple.

If they are ADDING people then they're socializing!

And the world isn't going to collapse if you hit decline. 1 second flat.
Just adding isn't socializing. I've had plenty add me and then they don't say diddly to me.

If the world isn't going to collapse then why are you getting so upset over a topic?

Adding is not an attempt to socialize? I didn't know that sending a friend request was a "tool" that MFP has for fitness!??

Ah, guess you haven't spent much time online.
What makes you think I'm upset LOLOLOL.

You funneh.

I guess I will be the one to say that no pic != "tech unsavvy".

I will also say this is my first post and frankly, idgaf since I don't message any of you people anyways.

Good day.

i do. to me its no different than people who have quotes/pics of their kids/dogs/inspirations/etc for their icon. too many rules if you ask me. no message;declined no interaction within a certain time; culled blah blah blah.

nancy10272004

I have a picture of my cat as my profile picture. I have my profile filled out, a few friends and about 100 posts. The reason I don't have a picture of myself in my profile is that I hate the way i look and I refuse to take a picture of me or let someone else take a picture of me while I'm this fat.

Some of us want to keep our privacy. I don't understand the need to be so open on the internet. I try to keep my internet footprint as small as possible. I don't care if others do not have pics, but they need to send me a message and their home page should give some info about what they are doing and why they are here, otherwise I reject the friend request.

Agree with you 100% But I try and think most people are good and honest. If I feel they are a creeper later ...... Poof they go!

Oh so instead of working on your computer you come here? Or is it you work for MFP. Either way everyone can make their own choice and their choice is what is right for them. Not Your rules.

Who said I was making rules. You're reading too much into the internet lolol.

I only accept FR that include a message. I really couldn't care less if a person has a picture of themselves or has filled out their profile. Not everyone wants to share every last detail on the internet, especially us old folks.

KariOrtiz2014

I don't see where you answered it.

What if:

Someone sent your child "teenager" a friend request on a social network and that person had no picture? There wouldn't be no level of concern to you AT ALL???

Hmmm... sorry that I'd be a parent that would care enough to know who's talking to my child..

And please don't tell me your child "teenager" wouldn't be allowed to have a Facebook!!

Anyway, just because we are adults and assuming that most of us are smart adults, doesn't mean that you cant be a little cautious with who you socialize on the internet.

Answering the original question, yes I probably would accept. I came here for motivation and I'll absorb any bit of it I can just like a sponge. I have learned to take what I can get since much like actual life I find it extremely hard to make friends online.
