I would actually like to have my picture up, and see who I am talking to, but I post way too freely about stuff, and have no intention of some psycho knowing what I look like and what city I live in.
I have my picture(s) up on Facebook because the settings are private, so only people who I accept as friends can see them - and everyone I accept as a friend on Facebook knows me IRL, and I keep my settings private to non friends.

I see people posting their pics on here and then flirting with people, and I worry for them.

So the short answer is, because I don't think it's safe. Which is a shame.

I don't look good in pictures so I try to avoid them as much as possible.

I have plenty of pics posted in my online profiles (match, facebook, myspace) but those sites serve different purposes for me, where pics are often part of the communication process. This is a discussion forum, and I don't really have any reason to have a picture of myself posted here.

Maybe it would be fun to "create" pictures for everyone we know here. So many of you seem to know each other very well in "forum" world. Have at it. I think it would be fun.



Happy Birthday Bear. Nice equipment. We had a similar one at our site not too long ago. Thankfully they made it to the top of our mountain.
You started something!!! Bear will give $50.00 to an animal shelter for birthday wishes on my profile.

I have a pic posted, but the little icon under my username is of a male, how do I fix that so it's a girl icon?
does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm a Female
