I would highly recommend -not- posting any personal pictures of yourself on here.

Besdies the fact that your profile get picked up by Google, pictures do tend to skew how people perceive your views and opinions on here, for better and for worse.

I know I had some up for a while as a personal reminder of where I had been and how far I had come, in the end, it was not worth the hassel I got frrm having them up.

I didn't for a couple of months. As I started making friends on this site..I decided to put my picture up. I appreciated seeing the people that I was sharing my life with. Easy enough to weed out the people that are interested in something that you are not.

I put pic on dating site, but not here...

What does it matter what we look like? I am here for support, not dating... and I have disclosed a lot more info here than I would on a dating site, so I prefer to remain anonymous.

I took mine off my "avatar" but kept it in photo album

I put mine on because I like to see who I am talking to- but now I have had a creepy message from some voyer who tells women on here he has a "crush" on them- I reported him- then today I got a message from a woman in another country (broken english) who wants to "discuss something with me at her yahoo e-mail" I think it's a money scam. Makes me think personal pic's make you look vulnerable and trusting- so I'm going to remove mine right now!

I have mine up for a couple of reasons, and appreciate others with pictures for one Big reason.

First, I have a bit of a problem remembering Who is Who without faces. It is quite a challenge for me-sorry, just the way my brain works.

As for My personal picture-it is the recognition thing...plus, I am trying to get used to how I look.

Not many pictures in 22 years. I feel pretty good, so long as I don't have to LOOK at myself. Well, I am trying to get over that.

I look how I Look. I have been flirted with by total strangers, then came home, looked in the mirror, and decided it was a MISTAKE-they forgot their glasses. I am Sick of Living like this and feeling so Ugly. So, up with MY Picture. I am exactly What I AM.

I LIKE WHAT I'M HEARING, KEEP THE COMMENTS GOING, ALL WELCOME

I posted a picture. I have not been hit on. Sometimes it is just nice to put a face to the person you are chatting with. If people decide to percieve or view my opinons based on me posting my picture, I do consider that to be there problem not mine. I am clear and fine with my motive for putting it there their attitude about it is not my concern. I came on here for support not judgment.

The picture that I have up now was taken while I was on my 40th birthday trip..with DS friends and my boyfriend. We had spent the day in the pool..drinking margaritas..and were headed for a night out on the town.

Pure happiness in that picture. Reminds me of how far I've come and the good things that have come from all of this.

I aadded some, not looking for a date though. Just be careful of what you post and write about it. If you feel like it then do it, if you dont, then don't. It is your call no one elses!

I use to have my picture as my avatar and I liked the attention I got from it when I first joined. Nothing wrong with some beautiful women stroking the ego ;}

I also like to see who I'm talking to - makes communitcating easier when yo have a face with a name. I still will keep pictures of myself and my beautiful children from time to time. People here on DS has gotten to know me and i like to share how my children are doing with them.

I may post another one later on. For now i kinda like the cool avatar I have on there now :)

Had some guy going on about kissing and cuddling and told him real quick-I am not jumping into a romantic relationship-he was weeded out....I know now what is meant about being careful..

I dont see why not ive been here for a long time and have self photo all you have to say is no if anyone asks any personal details love shirlxx

I am just not comfortable posting my picture on the internet. But here you can at least remove it: it is not part of the permanent record!

I can post a picture of my back side all broke out with a heat rash and see who really wants to help me..haa haa just joking
