Why do some ppl assume that your picture is not really you? Why would someone use someone else's pic?

i don't think that's really god in his picture either, but it sure is funny!\n\nyou might use someone else's picture to help protect your anonymity, but then why would you bother to load a picture at all?   maybe people just think you're using the picture you are to create a persona to fit the way you answer questions, or to match your id name.  since we now know that's really you, i'll come right out and say you really 'look like' what i think a free spirit should...\n\nthe black and white is a nice touch...classy!

its not a guy thing or a gals thing or whatever. but i do think it is mostly because the people are shallow. they only want to chat with people that look attractive. i have actually came across many of those kinds of people. i never tend to ask or show my pic, because i don't like shallowness. lol that's another thing i noticed about myspace, people are always looking for the more attractive people on there, and when someone they don't find attractive trys to add them as a friend they either reject them or delete them later.

I don't really want to them, because people ask you what you think ot their pic and I never really know what to say! I don't really need to know what people look like to be able to chat to them, but other people always ask for pics so I guess they do! I mean what they look like doesn't make what they are saying any different!

maybe if you had changed your avatar people didn't recognize the name and the avatar together and could be thinking someone else has stolen your id?\n\nor it could be the expression on the avatar's face... kuz to me it looks a little angry, and some folks are kinda scared to talk to angry looking people, maybe they are scared of angry looking avatars too.

I think it takes quite some time before you can actually trust someone and give him/her your picture. I know not all, but many people use the Net just as a medium of fun and real friendship is hard to find. After seeing a photo, some guys might start saying 'oh you're so beautiful' and 'I think I'm in love with you' etc etc. Ok, so maybe he's honest, but mostly, I think it just a stupid way of having fun. However, you have a point when you say that everyone is seen on the roads too and it's quite logical to have an image of your friend...need to think about that...

Yeah. It is fun. It is called "ripping." When something happens, friends of yours will sometimes say "Oh man! That pic is terrible!" Just to make fun of you, but the key word is fun. They aren't being malicious, they are just joking around. Don't take it seriously.

Probably many people will be offended by the picture. However you cannot stop people from taking photos, and posting them. Look away!

Best of all to you as well.  You should have posted your real picture on your Avator.  Jules

Why do you ask the sme question twice? like i said the other time,\n\nTo tell you the truth, I'd like to see a pic of you. All the avatars look the same (in a way) and I'm getting sick of it. I'm changing mine (just not a pic of me though!) I think you should go with a picture of you. Especially if your photogenic :)\n\nP.S. great question

No, it just means you are looking at someone Else's picture. Buy a mirror and be prepared for a shock.

It depends on whether that photo is really you or not. Since I've seen it all over the internet I think it's more likely that you're just being an asshole toward overweight people, and you need to get over yourself.

There are so many mispelled words on there,it is frightening! Is that your picture on there?!Some friends you have.You must have really pissed her off!! LoL =))

There's nothing you can do really. There are many photogenic people out there, and there are some people who cannot get a SINGLE good pic. You probably look good in your pictures, but may not think so ;o)

My gyrl and I love to take nude pic whenever we can.  It's fun and make the love sessions last. We change clothes and act crazy and we try to be so sexy when we pose. \nBut one time some pics were taken at a woman's party years ago by someone I didn't know and now they are showing up online.......

Yeah all the time, and it's immensely annoying. I usually get those like 'forward this to xxx people or you'd have bad luck' etc you get the picture. I just delete it.

Notice how people with nudie pics posted seem to be loved by everyone? It as if they are making perfect sense in the things they say, when in reality.. people only go there to see the fleshy pics! I think it stupid.. its there for pervs & lonely individuals with identity issues!

I always thought the same kind of people used them, until one day I got curious.  I met the most amazing person online and now we live together, very happily, I might add!  You just have to be REALLY careful about who you give your personal info to, and how much of it to share until you know the other person is OK.  Use good judgement, that's all.
