I agree with you I only give my position if it's asked about religion but you have to be true to yourself you believe what you believe too bad you're so far away...!

The great thing about this community is that people are here for multiple different reasons, and it’s rewarding for each one of them. Perhaps the ones you pointed out aren’t who you’re looking for anyways.

there are as many reasons as there are people, all valid. Just check out the ones with pics

I can't speak for others, but I'm not here for the dating part, so uploading a photo of myself is not necessary.

If they don't want to show their face, you might not want to see it either.

I suppose some of us are still in the closet out of fear of being persecuted, it does happen. Religious people have no qualms about attacking and undermining those who do not share their particular form of madness. I don't have those issues because I'm an owl.

I’d run one of myself for awhile, then noticed other’s replacing theirs with Icons and such. The day my cursor drug across a members face -- and their profile automatically arose! … I decided to lower my profile, which also included lessening my ‘intro piece.’ It’s one thing to have an archive of ‘who's visited your profile,’ and another to have it so easily appear.

So I’m sorry… I also took a couple photos away for the same reason, too easily identifiable. I’ve recognized one person ..it’ll be interesting when we next meet. Not sure I want the world to find me … so now there’s a photo of my filthy arm and boots after a hard day of work.. Good question though ~

Is it all about looks? Why not content?

Some of us have had problems with revealing their ID online in the past and some are here for the community, not actually looking but find nice conversations.

Stopped thinking what anyone thought of me long ago.

I feel uneasy interacting with a faceless person without a profile and will sometimes block men if they refuse to give any information or show a photo.

You know, you brought up a very good point. Most of my coworkers would have a stroke or a heart attack if they knew I don't believe in anything. I just don't want to hurt them. They have been good to me, why ruin it?

More are here for the chat I think, reverse image searching is so easy, I would hate to be stalked on here by the people who try to stalk me in other areas.
