Not sure if you are aware, but your world appears to have turned sideways, you may want to have that checked out.

Nope that's my fat *kitten*...11

Shrugs, I imagine some are not comfortable with people knowing whom they are via pictures. Maybe a privacy issue. Mine is all me

I'm currently using a photo of my new car that I got in January. All my other profile pictures are of me. Just felt like using something different.3

Privacy, and I like to show my flowers.9

This is my actual picture. I like to bake, and am adorable.

I catfish as a Passion Flakie so people will love me.
I have pictures of me in my profile.
Why others use a picture that's not them (my guesses):
- motivation
- love that thing/person
- privacy
- catfishing9 -

I'm guessing privacy or it may be a pic of something that makes them happy. Mine is my evil twin, or maybe it isn't?! (insert evil laugh here)3

When I first came on here I used a picture of my dog. I didn't really want to put my own picture up at first. I wouldn't use another person's picture, but I can see someone using a picture of someone they admire for motivation.1

I'm sure a lot of people do for either motivation or because people lie on the internet lol6

Same reason I don't use my real name as a user name, privacy.8

I wouldn't use another person's pic, but I don't show mine so I don't get all the weirdos messaging me and sending friend requests. It's worked wonders. I think most guys think I'm a dude because of my name. Lol!! 17

Privacy is the main reason that I don't use my real image (unless of course you believe that I really am a dragon ). I also work in a profession where keeping my real image and other PID info private is very important to me. 9

I don't use my own pic because I am not photogenic and every pic taken of me looks like a melting Picasso painting.
It makes me sad. I'm much better in real life.5 -
Why does it even matter? some don't like to be hit on, some don't like the way they look, some people want motivational pictures, some like myself have anxiety and low esteem issues but why does it matter if people don't upload a pic of themselves on a calorie counting website??5
