Actually, I'm only a semi-celebrity here for being the first to hit Level 9! I have a few photos on my profile page, tho I usually use other things for my 'avatar'. BTW, I see you are almost to Level 9 yourself! I'll try & give you a boost & hit a few of your posts to like & comment!

it s because I don't have the smarts to put up my real picture I have a camera I have a picture but don't know how to get it onto the screen and am afraid it will go extra large.

I put up a picture so people could just see what a handsome person I am. I would really like to hear from you if you are this gullable, I own a bridge. I thought this site would be of people who were interacting in an authentic manner and if so the least I could do is show what you are replying to and hearing from.

Mine are buried in profile for a reason....

I havent got the expertise to post a picture I imagine if I use one it will come out covering the whole page and I'll have messed up the site.

I agree, but only for those with zero pic, if you wanna post any thing but 'your' face, that's cool...but the faceless black and grey silhouette leaves me wondering.

I'm not here for dating, I don't do selfies, so have very few pictures of me, most of which are really old.

I'm paranoid?

I just don't really have any pics of me. I've never actually taken a pic of myself. I don't really think I'm ugly, more average and plain, however I do feel that in every pic of me I've seen, I look somehow weird. Idk, I always either have like a squinty eye, or my smile looks crooked or some other awkward thing.

I am not looking for a date. I want my WORDS to be evaluated for what they say.

I'm a horribly disfigured former celebrity who's now so ugly that I've been castigated into anonymity and the monster I've become is none of your goddamn business?

I don't have a profile picture on any other social media platform, either. My reasoning has mostly to do with keeping my clients from finding me online. I work in child welfare, so I try to keep my personal life private. I haven't decided when or if I will put up a pic of myself here.

Now I am kind of curious why you don't want the authorities to know

Just habbit. Apart from FB, my mug is not on any other Social Media accounts. There's no point in breaking that rule.

I don't mind my photo on FB because I use it with my real-life friends and families. I don't have anyone on FB who I've not met face-to-face.

I simply don't see the need for plastering my image online.

There is also another category of people who post a pic that is at least 5 - 10 years earlier. If I am talking to someone on Messenger with romantic intentions I request a current picture. There's nothing like getting off a 7 hour airplane flight and being met at the baggage claim by a strange person you don't recognize.
