Why Are You Afraid Of Putting Your Real Picture In The Avatar?? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 266 out of 32,545 in mylot.com2 months ago

I have just notice and I am just being curious why 95 percent of the members of this site does not put their real pictures, that is including me.lolw00t. What are you afraid of? This is a legitimate site. I think nothing to worry if you are going to share your picture here so it is not hard for us to imagine whom we are talking about. We might think that this is a fat woman, but in person she is sexy or vice versa. I know and I understand your privacy, and you are afraid that your picture might be use in other sites or in any fraudaulent transactions, but we just want to see you. I will post my picture and I hope to see your pictures as well so I will have an idea whom I am talking about, i would understand if you will not post it. If you will not post it,may i know the reason why are afraid of putting your real picture in the avatar??happy


it's me

my avatar IS me, so I guess I am fearless?

some folks, I'm sure, surely need an avatarwhistle...I guess I have to wonder why they desire such anonymity.


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 266 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

Hmm...I think you belong in the five percent members who has posted their real pictures here. I am proud of you, you are not afraid of anything. And I think you should really be proud since you are pretty, i have checked your profile and I found out that you are already 41 years of age, but as upon seeing your picture, you look very young with your age. What seeems to be your secret? Maintain that beautiful image, maybe the secret that you have within yourself is that you keep on smiling, for you to maintain your baby face. Keep it up!!happy mylotting!happy

Huh! You are also part of the ninety five percent members who doesn't put your personal picture in the site. i just wonder why. This site is legitimate and almost all the members are kind and can be trusted.What makes you afraid of posting your picture. I have also seen your picture in Ggnshare, and you look good, what to be shy of? You have a face to show them. But if you want privacy, i would understand that.And i think, it won't hard for me to imagine who you are since i have already seen you as well in ggnshare.thanks for the greeting. happy mylotting!w00t

Hello rberon,

You are good in the picture. I am never afraid of putting my picture here. In fact you must know that my previous avatar was my picture itself. lol

I hope some people may afraid of their negative comments about some sites and discussions which may really be different from every other opinion... I too have added my image here...

Cheers... Have a nice day always... thumbup


Its me on a tour

myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 266 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

First of all I want to give my comment on the picture, the place is good, I think i want to be in that place someday,you also good look in the picture. As far as I can remember, yes you have put your real picture before in the avatar? But let me ask you, why did you decided to change it to a duck, is it a duck, I am not so sure?Is this your favorite animal? or you just posted this because of the animation of the picture?anyway, no problem with the picture since it's cute.


myLot reputation of 96/100. phillip_shiny (645)   ranked 671 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

I am too bored seeing my picture often.... So, for a change I changed... But this animated picture is really gives me a happy feeling to enjoy in water like a kid esp., in a hot climatic country like mine..... lol

Cheersthumbup

That is a very good question rberon, and one that I too have wondered about. I belong to a writing site where I use my real picture, and yet here I choose to use an avatar. I am not sure what is holding me back from posting a picture, but perhaps it is because I am still very new to this site.

I am going to give this some more thought and see if I can discover why I seemingly have an aversion to posting a picture. It would be nice to see real pictures if only to have a better understanding of who you are communicating with.


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 266 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

I understand your hesitation, you have the right to feel that way. We are in the internet world, exposing are personal information or physical feature is really dangerous because we might suffer from scam. I am already one year in this site, but this is the first time that i have post my picture, because they are already very curious on how do i look, most of the time I give tips in the site, but they do not know how do i look like. And upon posting this picture, there is fear in my part since this is a trusted site. I think this site won't disclose any information about you. I have already tested the legitimacy of the site,so once your ready to post your picture,let us know and we want to see you. enjoy the site and see you around. happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. malamar (443)   ranked 533 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

Thank you for your understanding rberon. I am a middle aged chicken who has only been on this site for one month.

Perhaps with time, I will get more comfortable here and then I will post my photo. I will let you know if and when that day arrives lol


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 266 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

I understand. it's your right and discretion not to post your picture here. We can not force you for doing that, but once your ready, you can post it anytime. If you have some concerns about the site, if you are confuse of something, just let us know and will try to assist you with your concern, but i think, with the kind of member are you, you don't have any concerns any more.thanks for the input by the way,may you have a great day!happy

rberon yes the reason I do not put my picture here is that I
still need a tiny bit of privacy. I am not afraid so to speak,
but before I show my picture to mylotters I must know tham
better. Anyway I have tried to change my avatar to something better than the odd green man and failed.If I could just change my avatar without any trouble I would do so. Anyway I have saved
all of you barftime as I am not a beauty anyway. sadcrythumbup

myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 266 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

Actually, I am really excited to see you, i hope you will be uploading your picture here. I can see you in all my discussions but i don't have an idea on how does you look like. But I cannot do something about this, because you are looking forward for a privacy, which i have to look at or which i have to respect. But once you are ready to do that, i hope i will part of those members who will see you. Honestly speaking, i am already treating you here as my second parent, that is why i am very open to this site, because i believe this site is a trustable site. I am really looking forward to see you in the future. happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. mysticmaggie (309)   ranked 8,141 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

Trustable sites do not mean there are trustable people only on the site. My question to you is why do you feel it is so necessary to see a person's real picture?

Sorry, but after seeing how many predators have invaded SAFE children's sites, I do not trust ANY site to be entirely safe. That's one thing predators count on, our gullibility.

thats because someone told me that it can be misuse....i don't know how..i have put my image on orkut....and then my friend told me about that thing..from then i never use my original photo in any site.....do you know how can it be misuse?????????


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 266 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

I am also curious that if might be misuse, maybe that is depending on how you look at the picture. If you are going to be naked in the avatar, it might be misuse, but if you would be professional looks, i don't think so someone will have to grab it and put in one website, This is actually the first time that I have posted my picture online. I understand that you are still hesitant this time, I know you are looking forward for your own security at the same time privacy. But since you are here in mylot, i thin there should be no doubt, this is a trusted site, i have been here in the site for a year and did not experience any inconvenience. But still final decision will be you,once you are ready, just let us know.happy mylotting!!happy


myLot reputation of 94/100. padhiaranand (687)   ranked 211 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

hey i know that i can trust on this site.....

On orkut one of my colleage sir put his photo...some student just copy that photo from orkut and make fake account of sir in orkut.....and then they chat with colleage madams in bad words with fake account..and also they mis behaved with other girls from same colleage.......so because of this our sir have to face many problems.....so from then i am little bit worried about this thing.

I'm not afraid of it. But i like keeping avatar of anime characters that match my personality.:P. Lol, you can say mood as well. Most of people who like celebs, anime,sports people keep their avatars as per those images. Very few people are afraid of keeping their own image on forums. Besides, i can understand that keeping your own image if you're below 30 years is like bringing trouble if the forum or network has some spammers around. And there are many issues because of that, especially for womens.

I respect their privacy in such case. And please do respect mine. But seriously,i like keeping anime characters as avatar. They are much attractive in my opinion. Oh it's just my opinion anyway.


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 266 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

Welcome to mylot community, of course i really understand your privacy. Anyway, will not be required to post your real picture here.lolw00tI just became very curious on the person behind your username. Anyway, with regard to avatar, you have mentioned that the picture in the avatar reflects the personality of a person. I think I somehow agree you with that. So your avatar is an anime, and its because you love anime. With me,it's an animated smiley. I choose this because I am a jolly person,if you may see my avatar, it is a jolly avatar, it reflects my personally, hmmm...you have a point.. I can see other people who post some artist, maybe they are artist fanatics. Hmm... your point help...thanks for your input. happy mylotting!!happy

Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I know sometimes it is not fair for the members who put their real faces as their avatar, but how do we know that it is their real face?? blink

I guess because that this site is opened to the whole world that make me refrain myself from putting my real photo. If there is a feature where I can set who can view my photos, then I will use my real photo as my avatar. As of now, just remember me as the 'purple butterfly'... lol Oh, but I might change a new avatar in future he he... So, just remember my name, at least it's my real name. happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 266 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

lolw00tMost of the responses is they do not want to share their picture around the globe for security and privacy purposes. Anyway, i understand that. it's your right and discretion. Why should i push you if you really do not like,correct? But i'm sure in the near, if you already get the trust of site, you might be posting a new real picture in the site. happy

Hi, rberon. You look good in your picture. I have my own personal reasons for not posting my picture here. When I first registered here, I noticed that most are not doing it, so I thought I was lucky because I had in mind not to post mine. lol. If you want to see my picture, I will gladly send it as a private message to you, if u wish. happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1421)   ranked 266 out of 32,545 in mylot.com  2 months ago

Hmmm...of course., that's nice to hear. i will look forward to see a private message showing me your picture. At least, i would have an idea now on who is the girl behind the name moneymakingtoday. But if you are also hesitant to do that, no problem with me.I am happy on the things that you are also happy. If it is really okay with you, i will wait for the picture. happy
