I don't have a problem with people not having pics, I just think half the time their excuse is bullshit. Even if they said- I don't photgraph well so I don't like sharing pics. It would be better. Most of the time I think it's also them trying to make themselves seem more important than they really are.

You asked a question, I asked how should anyone here have that information.  If you want opinions, then ask for opinions.

You want to vent your frustrations, go ahead.  You want to rant and rave go ahead and do that as well.  But don't present it as a question, that when people answer it in a way you don't like, you get defensive.

But why would someone trust you less if they saw you on here? I mean, they have to be on here to see you, so I would think they would understand...


I think you meant to direct that at me, since I mentioned trust....

I live in a small community and work in a hospital.  In a perfect world, yes, people come in here because they're kinky too, and it's our little secret.  Unfortunately, it doesn't always work that way in the real world.  There are people out there who are backbiters and people who look to make trouble around every corner if they have the oppportunity.  It's very conceivable that someone could see a photo of me in here, and then mention it to his wife, who was pissed that hubby was looking around in here.  And wifey doesn't think it's proper for someone who works in our fine, community-supported hospital to have her photograph displayed brazenly on the internet in that vulgar site!  So, wifey tells her friend, who happens to be on the board of directors, who tells the chief of staff who tells my boss, who calls me in her office and tells me my behavior is not befitting of someone the public depends upon for proper care.  That this sullies the hospitals reputation, blah blah blah.  People can be very petty.....one girl I work with got called into the office because she dropped something in the ER, and when she bent to pick it up, her black thong elastic popped out of the back of her scrub pants for a couple seconds.  The old biddies who saw it complained to the ER doctor about how disgusting that was, who called the lab director..... 

Maybe this is an extreme scenario, but it could happen and it's not one I wish to risk happening at my workplace.  I need my job and the benefits.  Now, if I lived in a large metropolitan area, I probably wouldn't be as apprehensive about a public photo.  And I gladly share one or more with someone I begin email contact with. 

Plus, don't assume that no straight-laced, bible-beating church-goers ever come in here to get a few jollies.  And then run squealing....




merrysbrat -> RE: What percentage... (8/14/2007 11:55:36 AM)

I'm not ranting... I was just wondering. I mean, how could anyone possibly know that? I didn't knowq I had to specifically say "I'm looking for opinions" for people to get it. I thought it would be obvious since there would be no way to know the answer for sure.   





merrysbrat -> RE: What percentage... (8/14/2007 11:59:27 AM)

I do get it now windchymes... I guess I forgot what it was like to live in a small town since I moved away from St. Cloud : )




KyttynTheMynx -> RE: What percentage... (8/14/2007 12:02:08 PM)

If you think they are telling you a pack of lies about why they dont have a pic, MOVE ON.  Stick to people with pics, and live a happy little life.  And whos to say these people arent CEO's or Presidents of companies, or something?  Its hard to do, but give people the benefit of the doubt...

I normally dont throw a pic up on my profile, but thats because I feel that I dont have to.  I have this big personality that I'd like to share and have someone get to know before they make judgements based on looks.  Hell yea, I'm pretty cute from what I see everyday, and Im sure theres one or two people out there that agree, but I dont want to be chosen cuz of looks.  And I'm thinking maybe a few of these people youve crossed maybe, just maybe, feel that same way...




popeye1250 -> RE: What percentage... (8/14/2007 12:06:11 PM)

Windchimes, if that happened to me I'd just take a few pictures of the person and make (Them) a profile.
And Oh, what a profile it would be.




satyrsnymph28 -> RE: What percentage... (8/14/2007 12:09:54 PM)

i've gotten that line a couple times... a guy who i was even talking to on webcam one time who wouldn't show his face... wore a mask...

anyway... no pic no chat... thats how i work on this site, and all other sites as well...

its pointless if i can't see who i'm talking to. 

i risk... lots of things... my parents or my boss finding me... whatever... its not a big deal to me to post a picture. 

but i have heard lots of men say that's the reason they don't... so that they can't be found

then there was the one time i saw an ad on Craigslist... a man stating openly that he was married and looking for other sex partners with a picture of himself at the bottom...

now THAT would be the time to not post a picture.

But you're a brazen male hussy.  And I'm a frail and fragile soul.

Well, pop by the house and we will see just how frangible you are.

BeingChewsie -> RE: What percentage... (8/14/2007 12:32:43 PM)

I pulled my profile and pics earlier this month after being outed at my job and subsequently having my contract cancelled. They had my photos, highlighted areas of my forums posts and sent it all to HR, my nurse manager, sent it to the agency I work for( which happens to be owned by my owner), cancelled, services no longer needed. You don't have to have a high profile job, I'm an RN.




merrysbrat -> RE: What percentage... (8/14/2007 12:36:28 PM)

They fired you for legal activities you did when you werent working?   





TheIronHorse -> RE: What percentage... (8/14/2007 12:39:23 PM)

I have no problem sending pics to those who ask.  

A co-worker had emails from alt.com(which I saw accidentally when I went to his desk), and I would assume that person was probably here too. 

I kept that persons secret, I dont think he'd have done the same had the situation been reversed.

Sunday, I had some nut from CM threaten to kill me.  Four whole lines into a yahoo IM session and she was off the rails......You never know until you know....

I feel terrible for you after reading this. It is a perfect example as to why some of us do not add pics. And I am sure that the irony of how they came into possession of your pics and journal entries would be lost on the self righteous bigots that canceled your contract.

You've the sympathy of my pet and I.

And please feel free to pop by mine anytime, too!




LadySeraphina -> RE: What percentage... (8/14/2007 12:48:17 PM)

I guess you could say I have a high-profile job. lol Actually, as you know I show my real photos everywhere, and I even get emails from guys in my city who say 'I saw you at the store'. Even in a city of a million, I'm unforgettable!

The question I get a lot is why I won't go on places like Facebook under my real name. Gee, I wonder why? You can see my face, I make no secret of who I am or what I do, but I don't need to have any Tom, Dick or Harry able to look me up in the real world. (I have a very unusual real name too, so it would be easy.)

Wow, Chewsie, that is terrible, and I'm sorry to read this. 

I lost a job once because they watched my IMs unbeknownst to me and didn't want "my kind" working there.  No warning, no nothing, just "We'd like your resignation today, please."

It wasn't a high profile position, either.

I'm sorry this happened to you.




domiguy -> RE: What percentage... (8/14/2007 12:59:15 PM)

My father, Dom Corleone, was a swinger who would advertise in the local paper looking for other swingers....They would place their pictures right next to their ad.....Pretty soon business at his men's clothing store just dried up....No one was interested any longer in purchasing a liesure suit from the old man....He cut prices...Did everything he could....But he was viewed as the town perv....

This is why I will not post a pic.

"Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us
There's a darkness in this town that's got us too
But they can't touch me now
And you can't touch me now
They ain't gonna do to me
What I watched them do to you"

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!!!!!!!!!!!
