Why bother hiding your face on ATS?

Cause I'm ugly.

No, that's all really.

Do you believe your are ugly because somebody told you so? Do you think you are a good person and actually beautiful inside?

I only asked because it looked like a stop we generally make when hiking the Appalachain Trail. I know how many overlooks etc. exist, but your pic had the same metal railings and tree placement. I thought... no way!!! And it was indeed no way!

Instead of posting a face, why not do what the majority do and post something that represents you, something you find important, something funny ect. I suppose if your face is funny that might work.

Showing people what your favorite something is tells a lot more about you than your face.

Didn't take the extra time to steam the hot dog buns, huh?

She boiled the hotdog buns.............

Nothing left,but a soggy mass.

She actually made me a pot roast. It was excellent. She even massaged my back. The kids threw that out of whack,10 min after.

They all know I get to relax ,a bit, after work. I have a great family .


And as you can see, I don't need a Pic . I give out enough information on ATS .

I don't like the way I look either if it's any consequence. My husband has long fought to make me see differently, and I love him for it. But I am just plain me. We all have value that is not tallied in the grand scheme of things with looks. And what one considers ugly, another considers beautiful above all.

Don't down yourself because of what anyone has ever told you. You are only ugly if you are ugly inside IMO.

If there is real faces behind every message it makes it more real, atleast for me. I also think decorum would be followed more if faces were exposed.

Yeah there's something called "groupthink" as well, which we definitely don't want here.

I like to overcook the pasta when I am pissed at my husband. Then dinner isn't quite right...but he can't quite put his finger on why it isn't quite right!

And that is my personal disclosure instead of my photo!

This thread has become too funny!

It likely has a lot to do with it, but there is something to be said for accepting one's lot in life.

Do you think you are a good person and actually beautiful inside?

And what would it matter if I was? I'm a woman, no one really gives two craps about how good women are on the inside once you get out into the real world. Once you are over the hill or you are fat and ugly then you are of no use to the average American and they don't want to see it. That's life, so I don't post my mug cause I don't want the nasty comments.

And furthermore, I'd say I'm not fit to judge that last question objectively.

Why bother asking this question, I get judged enough on this site without people knowing what I look like.

I had a background check done by the FBI to get my Real Estate License, so I don't need to post my picture for you.

You shouldn't be asking this question anyway, go fishing somewhere else please.


have a nice day


Peace

Ok what the hell. I'll post my pic.
Enjoy!

Is ok sweetie, theres someone out there for everyone, even me (once upon a time) and judging by the way you "speak" in your posts, you sound pretty nice to me, as well as intelligent.
Besides, you got your cat dont you?

Meh, I have my picture up on the web. I don't think I need to post my picture on every forum I'm on.

That's what Facebook is for..

This site isn't a social network, it's a place for people to hold discussion on many topics. Your identity isn't important, it's what you have to say that matters. You're more than welcome to give your credentials, or show your pic if you like.. but more often than not, people will not care. Again, it's not your identity, it's what you have to say..

Besides, some people prefer to use their avatars for creative expression.

Exactly! I couldn't have said it better.

I can't post a people pic

1. My employer would be very unhappy
2. I'm so good looking, everyone would
a. cry
b. stalk me
c. both
3. CIA ..... (Chitenz Iz Awesome)

.... mostly number 1 though

I don't post my pic here because if I had a problem with another member stalking or harrassing me I can't block or ignore them. I prefer to use the avatar I made here and keep more personal things on FB.

Like I couldn't use any face I wanted to for my avatard?*

*Ok -- the ridiculous %$#@ you have to go through to upload pics the a special server notwithstanding, etc.

considering the numerous times i've been threatened with physical harm on these boards, there isn't anything in the world that would convince me to post an honest pic of myself.
(or of anyone that uses this login)

one of these is correct....


Because I have recently been diagnosed with a severe case of ADD (Appearance Deficit Disorder)

or

I don't allow my picture to be taken because when someone takes your picture they can steal your soul

or

I don't want women with a fetish for fifty year old balding fat guys with missing teeth to stare at my
picture and think dirty thoughts
