Because family may be lurking the boards, or people I work with, are neighbors with...etc.

There are things I post that I do not want some people knowing. If they see my pic they have confirmation that it is me. If they don't see my pic they can never be sure.

I check someone's history before I let them have access. If they share my pic with others, than oh well. BUT...I guess I don't have that "I'm the center of the universe" attitude like you do...I just don't think I'm THAT important that someone would be passing my photo around for no good reason.

Edited to add: If someone sends a friend request, I'll usually grant it, but it has to be requested so I know WHO is looking. I should also add that if I don't like the content of someones posting history, they don't get persmission either.

LOL...I notice it more in your facial features than your hair. Either way, you're a hottie.

Maybe I'm being naive here, in fact I'm sure I am, but what exactly can someone do to you with your pic? I have made posts that I'd rather some people didn't see, but I figure the likelihood is low that they will and it wouldn't be the end of the world. I get personal here but I don't post my deepest darkest secrets. It seems people are divided--some wouldn't post their picture anywhere, and some people will send naked pictures on their cellphone to almost strangers and then wonder how the whole football team got to see them. I'm between the extremes--I can't imagine anyone would want to use my pic for anything besides satisfying their curiosity.

I rarely check for profile pics, so I have seen a lot of new faces today. Nice looking crowd!

And Onglet, I agree that you do not look 40. Your face is much younger.
