To post a picture or not to post a picture that is the question ( Archived) (32)

Obviously a picture say's a thousand words and is revealing what others want to know about and that is...are you ugly.


I myself believe that since this world is so crazy it's best to start a dialog for a little bit before you start revealing your face and life story...to me it makes things a little more exciting and interesting plus it leaves a little to the imagination and when you do exchange pictures that both sides agree to be polite about it as an example : ( I think your lovely but your not what I was looking for ) like that so people don't get hurt or bent outta shape.

These days social networking can get you fired from your job and if they have a face to positively ID you that don't help...you may have one martini to many and post something and people may not like it ethically or morally and then bingo theirs your face to confirm it was you next thing you know the secretary at work finds you on CS and sends a memo to the big boss and whoops your canned LOL !


I really think they should allow us to do profile shots..a picture that clearly shows your frame and far enough away to not completely show your face but just your features then you have an idea and can go further.


Whats your thoughts views.......

No one is ugly.

That is what most percieve because of thier past. It is a way for someone, like my older sister, to be above me. She is beautiful in her won right. And so am I. I need no surgery to lok better, I love the way I look. And that is what all these people out here need to get over. Stop being so self-conscious. There is always someone out there for you. So, go look in the mirror, and ask yourself, what will it take for me to not feel this way, AND GO DO IT! I did. And I feel empowered, every moment of everday! Best part is...No one told me to do it.

I think you may have missed my point. The truth about dating is their has to be an attraction, their are people out there that do like or love each other for personality and are not shallow. But the truth is if someone looks at your picture and thinks you are not attractive then sadly that translates into the word ugly.

I myself don't feel ugly and can care less if someone else felt that I was ugly. My point is about safely posting your picture on a social networking site.

Maybe you should have left this passage out of your post then:-
"and when you do exchange pictures that both sides agree to be polite about it as an example : ( I think your lovely but your not what I was looking for ) like that so people don't get hurt or bent outta shape."

That suggested to me that you are prepared to spend a lot of time getting to know a persons character, but as soon as you get a photo, you might have to let them down gently

That to me is just as shallow, and probably more hurtfull

JMHO

See no point in leaving it out..it's honest are you.

As honest as the day is long.

I have nothing to hide, which is why I choose to post a photo !

PS: It's also what JMHO stands for...........

Just My Honest Opinion

Its certainly just as hurtful IMO.

And to the OP.

Whatever you feel comfortable with. You will probably get more attention with a pic however as more people seem to trust posters and members that have pics.

Not saying its right as some of my friends on here have no pick up.

Its JMO
