My picture is current, but I angle it because I hate my nose. Hmm, my cheeks are probably chubbier in person too... but if anyone asks me, I'm a short, chubby, curvy girl with big ole tatas.

I thought it was a legitimate question since I had "pals" claim photos as themself, especially the guy who tried to use Marc Fitt's body. You are right. I didn't like him because he lied to me. That clearly was not his body. Why do I care? Well because I added him hoping to get fitness advice and he lied about his appearance.
I'm not talking about people who state it's an inspirational photo. That's a totally different topic. I'm talking about the people who outright lie.
If it makes me judgmental to not enjoy being lied to then I'm ok with that.
Funny how sensitive some of you are about this. Then again, I'm pretty easily amused at how you are judging me by calling me judgmental. Thought I was back in church for a minute.
have a nice day ya'll. 0 -

I totally knew yours was real. I lie too. I'm actually Supergirl but I didn't want people to know. I guess the cat's out of the bag now though .0 -

I seriously need to learn about this angle business. You don't look chubby to me. You're cute and clearly being too hard on yourself.0 -
Lol, chin slightly down and angled. I'm like 205 lbs (most of it is boobs, bahaha) I should hit up that 300lb chick though, apparently all I'd have to do is show a little cleave. 0

It's because once men see boobs they ignore everything else. 0 -

She had a really pretty face, but I think its more in the hair cut and angle of pic. Though, I have a couple of very heavyset friends that still maintain average looking (in size) faces, so maybe some people just don't gain face fat.0 -
Well, if you are losing weight which is part of the purpose of this site, wouldn't you want to have more recent photos?0

Hmm, I personally had a fat face when I was 73 lbs heavier, but I life heavy so I actually look like I should weigh much less. But nope, still a heavyset girl. Lol. I think it really depends on body fat %'s because you could take a girl my weight but without the muscle I have and she'd look 20 lbs heavier than me.0 -

That's my way of thinking but I'm about to sent to the electric chair by some of these people.

I'm the opposite. Took forever for my face to slim down or so it seemed. I lost several jean sizes before I noticed a difference in my face.0 -

I still think it varies person to person. My face starts gaining weight if I'm even 10-15lbs over. However, one of my female friends must be upper 200s and still maintains a decent looking face that does not show her body weight. She does not exercise. It's all fat.

That settles it. If my husband ever runs off and I need to pretend MFP is a dating site then I will request a live video chat of some sort of the guy in the nude. I don't want any surpises when we meet up. ROFL

I kind of like a surprise. I tell them I've gained enough weight that my penis kind of shrinks into my fat and is not noticeable anymore. Then I just show up in the buff.0

Also, talked to multiple people who admitted to using photos of themselves when they were in better shape.
Personally, I become increasingly frustrated by this and deleted my account. I thought, "Who needs fake friends?"
I feel like it's sort of cheating to use inaccurate photos while I use the real me.
I'm not judging the people, I really just don't understand the thought process for this. I mean it's a fitness site so wouldn't it be more helpful to use your own photo and a current one?
Curious what others think....
Aren't they all "fake friends"...they're just rando internet people...I could give a rat's behind.0 -

Omg. You almost made me spit out my coffee. I got a mental image. Yikes!
I should send you nudes so you can tell that lady it wasn't the angle of the photo!!! I'm kidding. Only my husband gets nudes but he does ask for them frequently. Haha 0 -

There is always a little honesty in the comment, even if the person says they are kidding

Well, most are just random but I've made a handful of real friends that I didn't even add to this account. We now encourage each other with actual phone calls and through kik. A few I talked with daily for months. I've received enough photos and videos of them to know they are real people. We may or may not meet in person but they are actually my friends.0 -

I'd still prefer to just show up in the buff while they are expecting something else. Don't spoil anything for them!0 -

Ok I won't tell them how hot you look naked then.
Ok I really need to go do something productive like this body weight circuit I have planned out. It was fun talking you as usual though.0 -
Need more PMs. (s in lowercase) Please god keep the uppercase one away.0

I think you're overthinking it. My profile picture is 2 years old, I have it on here because it motivates me and that's the entire purpose of my account. Its not like its facebook, which I would feel weird using an older pic on, but here it doesn't matter. Its for me, not my mfp friends.0
