belive it or not that was an honnest mistake and not at all refering to this bein a shit site.....way of the mark there. ever so sorry
I don't really care if someone uses their real picture or not. As a matter of fact I almost always assume that it is of someone else.
Why do you care one way or another? Or do you? Is it really important to make an acquaintanceship with someone that has a "real" picture of themselves?
So, is that you in your avatar? You look nicely tanned for someone living in the UK. Your (?) picture in the image gallery shows the colour I was expecting.
Contrary to what anyone believes, I am a pixie in real life. I even have a barrel of pixie dust for those pesky emergencies.

I know what you mean though. I've skimmed through peoples pictures before and even though every picture is quite obviously a different person, people have added comments and compliments as though they were the person from the profile!
On a site like this you just have to not take things at face value, even though some pics are quite obviously 'homemade' and others stolen from the net.
just take it with a grain of salt. does it really matter if ppl are using their real pictures or not? it's their business what they do.
and for the record, mine are really of me & that is my back in my AV.
HAHAHA this thread is quite funny.
I don't have a single picture of myself here and I have met great friends, a pic doesn't mean as much as your intelligence. Be yourself here and you will be just fine. Pics mean nothing until you get to know someone better.
The picture in my avatar. Yeah, thats me. I look exactly like that.

Hey Nicola...what does that article mean when it implies that not everything on the net is real?
Btw, is that the latest issue of The Lush Street Journal?
Let me borrow that when you're done...
*giggles* this thread is funny. People are giving me funny looks for laughing out loud on the train while reading this.
Here's an interesting side question then:
What do you think?: Are the people who post "You're hot!"-type comments on (obvious) fake photos on here really that easily fooled, or are they doing it to "score points" as mentioned above?
Are people really that stupid/oblivious or is it somehow self-serving?
The reviews are in. Here's what people are saying about FicklePickleTickle:
"BestCukeOnTheVine" - LusciousLola.
"Pickle juice rocks!" - curiousbutterfly.
"Pickles is really a jalapeño" - sw33tang3l
"Will someone make that guy sit down, my kids can't see the movie?!?" - Some guy in at the theater.
"Shouldn't he be wearing clothes if he's going to be in the wedding?" - Your mom.
"If FTP Eats A Pickle, Is That Cannibalism? " Nikki703
"FTP makes me wet. . ." - imhapless.
"Always thought he was dill but he's actually a sweet pickle." - kinkygirl.
or are they doing it to "score points" as mentioned above?

yes, hun, I think you may be onto something there! xx
I concur with the above.. my avatar is obviously not me, nor are most of the pictures on my page.. I wouldn't like to be recognised in the real world when out and about with my family.. A lot of people on here that I know keep their real picture hidden until they are comfortable with someone and then reveal themselves ( often literally!) Which, to my mind is all part of the fun of a site like this.. the unknown quantity whilst chatting to someone and the pleasant surprise when you get to see what they look like.. although most people get an unpleasant surprise when they see what I'm really like ;)
Nic's not really a small black cat? WTF!?!?

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Oh sprite, you've shattered all my illusions now.. what with typing pussys, super girls and parts of a cow all literate, we've almost got the basis for a story like Alice in Wonderland!
It really doesn't bother me if people want to keep their physical identity secret on here...the thing I think is a little bit off is when people pretend that this fake picture...is actually them.
BUT this doesn't bother me in the slightest...in fact, I almost consider it a little game (heh heh) to look at numerous pictures on someone profile of 'them' and try to suss out if it's all the same person or not....HANG ON. THE MOLE ON HER LEFT BUTTOCK DOESN'T MATCH IN ALL 5 PICTURES......SHHHIII-------
I am not sayin that i am against the idea of using other pictures as quite rightly said yes it can turn into a game or fantasy just think some people comment in the hope of starting a convostation. Didt no that this topic would cause so much despute
For me, i guess you can say I'm a bit ashamed. but idk
as a rule, the avatar photos that have been me haven't been super clear, and the ones that aren't me, should have been obviously not me (same goes for the ones in my profiles, when i've posted them) - i HAVE shared photos with close friends here, but usually, that's been thru emails, i tend to be selective about that, and have admittedly, had moments where i wish i could take those back when there's been a falling out or such... ANYways, honestly? i could care less what your avatar looks like, except that it's a representation of who you are in side? i'm not here to just cyber fuck hot guys or gals, if i get friendly, it's gonna be because there's a nice person lurking behind whatever picture you happen to have up.

My avi is not me , but , I did take the pick, and I have a large wood in my pants
