Hi, I have ran into something that I don't think is thought of very much and I felt the need to bring it to light so all of us can be on the same page, well, hopefully.
When we write OR read words we have to remember that the sender nor the receiver is hearing the tone of voice it was typed in, they are not seeing the expression on ones face nor the gestures that we unknowingly provide were it face to face.
I looked up what it means for miscommunication and the big G gave me this:
What do we mean when we say miscommunication?
Miscommunication ("mis" + "communication") is defined as a social inability to communicate adequately and properly. It is one of many types of communication barriers.
I agree to the above statement, to an extent.
It does not add what I wrote above that and a lot of assumptions are made without the tone, facial expressions and gestures.
Being stuck in one's own box will not allow these thought processes to kick in so it has to be practiced after all, we are biased human beings when it comes to ourselves.
One thing that I forgot about being on one of these sites is exactly what I have written about, lesson learned.

I hope this helps us be better senders and, better recievers :)

laugh This is true but there are way too many scammers out there, I watched that known show CF, yeah, not doing that thank you.
I do give photos only after I get to know the person so far, I gave it to one guy and he ended up not being who he portrayed to be so now I am even more cautious.
Too many scams that steal your photo then make an account of you then the fake you is getting what you should have and, most likely get you into trouble.
I don't have a photo for caution sake up front not because I am some ugly troll.
I am ok with someone not writing me due to the lack of a photo.
I do believe though that you missed the point of the thread even if you have a good point.

Unless you have the looks of a supermodel, I doubt anyone would use your photos to scam someone.
It’s like saying, there was a shooting in a supermarket, therefore I will never go shopping.
You can’t live your life in fear because of others bad experiences.

Now see? We are already miscommunicatinglaugh
I told you my reason for not putting up a picture and you don't understand why, it's ok, it is a decision I have made and I am good with it :) Thank you for your opinion though.
A picture doesn't capture gestures or expressions in real time mode nor, does it give tones of when something is saidprofessor
That is an unfair analogy with a shooting in a supermarket, nobody knows when some wack job is going to go on a rampage or, they would be prepared to protect themselves and some even to retaliate, no, not the same at all.
As far as being fearful, I have lived in the UK for a few years been from Lands End to John o' Groats, to Ireland, to Amsterdam and to France, fearful? No, I am not fearful I am careful and like I said, I am good with that.

I've had the same problems with photos being stolen for someone's amusement.

Good answer!

Being cautious is not the same as living in fear!
