Poll question: How do you feel about posting your picture in the lounge?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear Writer!

I just love posting my pic! It is fun for me........

And it is good for me, and my self-esteem too!

I was a plain child, and any nice compliment just gives me a huge boost!

:loveya: :hug:

[Writer]

22. Hey, CalPeg!

I don't mind sharing myself with others, either. But I'm a private person, and I have enemies out there who literally would work overtime to do me harm if they could figure out where I live, etc. from my other posts.

Also, Mr. Writer believes I'm stalker material, but I'll keep that between me and him. ;)

40. My Dear CaliforniaPeggy,

You are a very nice looking young (as we discussed) chick and it's always nice to see you.:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

[Nicole]

2. No way. No how. I enjoy my anonymity on DU.

[LeftyMom]

3. It makes me nervous, but I enjoy it.

I've had a stalker in the past, so putting myself out there does not come easily. Also, I'm not very comfortable with how I look, and I'm not saying that to fish for compliments, it's just a personality quirk of mine. Eventually I did post a picture, and I noticed that people became a lot more friendly to me when they could connect my posts with a face. Eventually one of them became really friendly. I'm glad I did share a picture of myself and open up to the community a bit.

4. I have posted pictures of myself and my children...didn't like it

Felt exposed,

I know Agent Mike already knows my family.

but that is the beauty of the internet

where
we could be
all actors on a stage

that is DU and the net let alone the lounge..

Hint on what they can trace.........LOL

5. I mainly love posting them because when i do

others follow ( i start a shit load of picture threads)
And there are a few very beautiful ladys who I like to coax in to posting their pictures :)

[tjwmason]

6. I've posted mine several times

shockingly some folk seem to like it :eyes:

However I don't think that I photograph well and I haven't had a decent new picture for a while thus I haven't posted it recently.

[Guava Jelly]

7. I always like your picture

:)

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. I absolutely love your school boy picture!

:hi:

[Robeson]

8. It's whatever. I only have the same one or two to post anyways...

...so it's not like there is going to be any big revelation.

[Richard Steele]

9. OTHER- my pic looks better than I do, so I worry I'll be called a FRAUD

I still post it occasionally though- it's an AWESOME pic!

One pic that makes up for every driver's License Photo I've
ever had, or ever will have!

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Live free or die.

:hi:

[Robeson]

12. Hey MrsGrumpy! Haven't talked to you in a while, and just...

...wanted to stop by and say "Hey!"...:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Hi Robeson!

It's good to see you! :hi: What's new?

[Robeson]

14. Oh, same old, same old. I've been away for a short spell...

...but am back. It was good to see you and some nice familiar faces!

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I'm glad to see you back.

:D

[BarenakedLady]

16. Hmmmm

It may be a bit obvious (or not) that I am slightly hesitant about posting a picture of me. LoL. I've found a happy medium, but I'm running out of acceptable parts to post!

[terrya]

17. My image has been known to scare little children

There's a picture of me in the gallery. That's enough.

[rug]

18. I'm holding out till it makes matcomnews.

[NewWaveChick1981]

19. I think everyone here knows my answer...

:rofl: :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

20. I prefer surrounding myself in mystery.

No one here (except a couple of people) will ever see my picture.

Mwuhahahahaha!

[buddhamama]

21. i've done it a total of five times

in my five yrs of being at DU. i guess my answer would be: i am hesitant, but on occasion i'll share.

[Guava Jelly]

51. I have no idea why

As cute as you are Buddhamama specially the one on the swing :)

[bif]

23. I wouldn't want to scare everyone away

[datasuspect]

24. there's a few people who feel REALLY good

about posting the same pics over and over and over and over and over. joking.

i will never do it though, crosses a line and makes my internet activity more real. also there are some devoted psychotics out there who live to analyse every single post on DU.

plus if i posted a pic, i think i would distract way too much of the female attention, it wouldn't be fair to the other guys here, especially the infamous "bear rug" pic.

[buddhamama]

25. i am not cool with

bear rugs but i'll make an exception in your case. PM me the pic. I promise not to stalk you or become too distracted, except for Wednesdays and Thursday. ;)

[billyskank]

37. Because every wednesday and thursday she is distracted by me

We have it scheduled and everything. :D

[buddhamama]

44. yep, that's right.

every Wednesday and Thursday. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday are reserved for my devotion to you. :D

[billyskank]

45. .....

:*


:loveya:

[buddhamama]

48. it hasn't reached the psychotic stage

yet! ;) :loveya:

[billyskank]

49. Oh good

psychosis is such a drag. :hug:

[reyd reid reed]

30. Hey...I might be psychotic but I'm not DEVOTED

And personally, I could use the distraction.

Think of it as a service to the community.

:D

[datasuspect]

31. i mean there are some conservitard sites out there

whose sole purpose is make posts about posts on DU. it is very weird.

but no, i really do have to be fair to other guys here. if i posted a pic here, the level playing field would be a thing of the past.

[Guava Jelly]

33. Thanks man ..

I don't need anyone stealing all the action.
Hell i mail off checks daily get the ladies in here to be nice to me
:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

36. Heeeeey

I didn't get a check! Geeeez.

I suppose you are going to tell me that it's in the mail. Yeah right.

I'm just an enigma wrapped in an enema. ;-)

[Guava Jelly]

38. I had to sell some blood for the extra cash

to pay you.
I'm only so rich.:)
:rofl:

[rockymountaindem]

26. I'd really, really like to see peoples' reactions

But I've never posted my picture, never will. I've never used my real name on this site either. Probably futile I know, Agent Mike probably knows my great-great grandmother's cousins' maiden names by now, but it makes me feel better.

[necso]

27. No way. No how.

I enjoy my pseudonymity on DU.

[reyd reid reed]

28. I was a little hesitant at first

but then realized that it didn't hurt...and I have issues with self-esteem and posting a picture gives me a little boost. A little confidence and that helps.

[bridgit]

29. this poll is not for me in that i neither "enjoy", nor am i "hesitant"...

nor "stalker" material (although i have been), nor am i "building a mystery"...i just don't have a new one & people are sick & tired of the same ole same ole me around here...

[Pool Hall Ace]

32. I'm reluctant to post a picture at this point, but

I encourange all hawtt DUers to post their pics frequently. I love me some eye candy.

[ZombieNixon]

34. I love it!

I have my reasons...;)

[izzybeans]

35. Hey even my Myspace account is graced by the Moran guy.

www.myspace.com/fuckingmorans

I like my anonymity.

[ganeshji]

39. I'm new here

and I like you people. I wouldn't burn your eyeballs with my ugly picture. I'm pretty nice after all.

[swag]

41. Edit: whoops posted in wrong place.

Welcome to DU!

[ganeshji]

43. Thanks for the welcome.

[billyskank]

47. Haribol Ganeshji prabhu, dandavats!

:hi:

[swag]

42. I'm pretty fucking narcissistic, so I'm into it.

[Katina]

46. reluctant, but maybe someday

I'll get up the nerve.

[Missy Vixen]

50. My obscured picture has been on DU

Sorry to be a downer, but as a fat person, I know my photo wouldn't be well received, so I'll withhold it.
