Just because the picture is fake, does that necessarily mean the person is? How do you know it's a guy? I'm wondering because some people are scared not to be anonymous.
flsubboy4u has a point. I don't bother with an avatar because I'm not about to put my face on here and anything else could be me or could be something I copied from wherever.
In my case it doesn't really matter as:
1. I'm not looking to hook up with anyone, and
2. It seems kind of foolish to have to prove I am a fat old white guy like I say I am. I think you all can take my word for that, and
3. I would not expose my Wife without her permission via anyone identifying me.
However, many others don't want to show the "real" them for anyone to see and know their business on the internet, so using a picture from wherever as an avatar seems like a better choice than just being another generic avatar like mine. That doesn't mean they aren't any less real, just cautious.
Granted I could post a "verification" picture of my white weenie with a sign saying B2W, my "handle" and the date so you all would know I'm real, but I know none of you cares to see my dick, which is all I am willing to show. Besides, if I'm a fake, what the fuck could I really be? A hot, big titted blond? A VERY well hung black dude? Not likely.
However, others
could post a similar picture to show they really are a female without showing their faces, which would eliminate the FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! frenzy. Just food for thought.
