    I post a picture of myself so people can have first-head proof that I am not some creepy 40 year old guy who chats up little boys on the internet.

    (all pictures posted of me are actually my 18 year old newphew)

    Compliments are nice, especially if the person is nice too.

    I'm pretty down to earth about judging others looks when they post pics. It's like when I see a picture of someone who I've been curious about seeing.. I feel like oh my curiousity is relieved of. ^^ And if their personality is cool to begin with they'd still look cute to me.

    But it's up to the person giving the compliment if they want to give that sort of attention.

    BTW, adorable baby pic Jojo..

    Perhaps. I like to think that people who see my photo are thinking something along the lines of: "that guy's attractive". It's useless to lie about it. However, I don't send my picture to people with the sole purpose of extracting a compliment. Showing someone your picture is a sign of trust, and in some cases, in can help you to get to know the person a little better.

    Compliments are nice to hear, no doubt, but I'm sure there are many people who don't post their pictures in order to fish for compliments.

    It depends on the context, I think. Topics like the EoFF photo threads are interesting simply because it's nice to be able to put a face to people that you're spending time with online. However, sometimes there's an element of what you're suggesting, with sites like www.hotornot.com proving that some people want their physical appearence to be judged rather than simply available online.

    Agree. And that's why I'd never post my picture up. Sometimes I feel it's nicer to imagine the person; I mean, you see all the posts by one person and you start thinking of them the way they post, and when you see an actual picture of them...sometimes it could be disillusioning. Just a thought, though. And to everyone in the Photo Album : "Hey, U R h4wt!!!!".
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D
