Do You Use Your Real Photos As Profile Picture?

I am always in a favor of using my original picture instead of anything else on whatever social media websites I have login's. But my wife is never in that favor she never likes me doing that, we always have an argument She thinks somebody will misuse it or something else that fears her she cant explain exactly. Now she gets me think twice, because I don't want to do anything she thinks is not right. Whats your opinion on that? Image Credit:- Pixabay.

Your wife is right as I also believe your picture may get misused but I still use my original picture on my profiles anywhere. Present profile picture is of my daughter and my nephew.

Your nephew and daughter both are looking nice, I think need to give a second thought on replacing my dp.

@Jlyn10 I think you should forgive him for that because he must be having the same question for you

I agree with your wife. Original picture should not be used as a profile picture I think

On sites where I interact with people I don't know personally, like MyLot, I font use my real picture. On sites where I know the people I interact with, like Facebook, I have a real picture.

I totally agree with you! I am in favour of never giving the real photos unless they are secured! But I am confused how can we differentiate between right one and the wrong ones??

@nitirrbb7 I think it is alright on any site a person decides to use their own picture.

Such a handsome young man in the photo, obviously your wife is afraid that you might be taken away by some pretty young lady.

There are points in both of your sides. Some people including me like to use original picture as personal identity. But it is a fact that photos shared in social media including F.B can be misused. It is easy to copy or download the picture.

@nitirrbb7 Oh! I have used my original pictures and names! I don’t like faking myself but sometimes it just feels like that when I hear about Scamming and other cyber crimes!
