I think some are humorous and posted with temporary, light hearted intent, but I wonder why people really do it. Yes it catches attention and makes people smile if they are funny, myself included at times, but sometimes I think oh c´mon don´t be silly.
I would rather see genuine pics, not heads posted onto bodies of celebs or models, or cartoon pics.(Animals I don´t mind because they are..well obviously animals or pets of their owners and often cute)
Some fragile people are taken in by fake pics, therefore those that do so may well be doing themselves a real disservice in my opinion.

solsticemoon: I cant for the life of me imagine why people do it!...its ridiculous!
I don´t mean you dumbo! Yours is a temporary pic and not something you do all the time. I mean those that do it all the time, you know regularly changing their pic for a falsie.

kidatheart: The mods deleted my baby pic from a couple weeks ago, although I doubt anyone actually believed I had horns and a tail.
Steve Mcqueen is dead, so I doubt anyone is going to believe it's really me either. I do know what you're saying though, all too well.
Oh I know, they´ve deleted a few of mine which were actually me in younger days with my kids, and a couple which did not show all my face. However they were all me, yet others get away with fake bodies and their faces superimposed....it doesn´t make sense really.

I know....but its good fun..I remember last year I got sent to jail when I did a profile for one of my dogs n put his pic up..hell its harmless but seems they cant differenciate between havin a laugh n doing it for bad means
No but on a serious side here of recent I have been thinking over the fake profile and sometimes pic accompanied by it. And I am not talking about the more noticiable ones. But the ones that are just laying out there. What is their intent? Is this how they want to start a relationship. Does one just decide to put down any info they feel like at that particular moment. These do not appear to be trolls or scammers. And I have some email me a couple of times and then start telling me oh my profile is not true. By then I just don't know what to believe

You´re gorgeous!
But there are some who do it all the time like they are hiding behind a mask, usually the women sadly.
gawd its good to laugh! bet someone comes along n spoils it tho!... come on jan, change ur pic..just for tonight, lets have some fun before some troll spoils things
I know what you mean,like when they put up a model picture and people really think there going to meet that hunk or beautiful woman,then they show up and its someone totally different,same thing though as using a 20 year old picture,some people still think they look like they did 20 years ago,but they don't.
