I agree with kid.

But I do have to say...

I take people more seriously if they have a "real" pic.

Kid

"What they say is more important"... yes, and if you sit very quietly long enough in the forums, you get a glimpse of the person behind the facade (if/when there is one )

Whaddaya mean!?!? Boss is a "real" dog!
I have pics of myself on my profile so people can see what I actually look like. They're not even doctored or airbrushed. What you see is what you get. No false advertising!

No boudoir photos, Kid?

what? no man makeup????

"ripping Gypsies t-shirt down the center" Hmmm...now THAT's a Kodak moment!!

Ummmmmm.. No, I'm kinda shy that way.

Wow some of you took my comment all wrong. I too am very proud of my children and I see you are too. I did not mean to get anyone upset or mad with me. I was told by a Police Officer who strictly goes after child predators that is a very bad policy to post your childrens pictures. They way he explained it that they (predators) find ways to get to your kids. I just do not want NO ONES child to ever be put in harms way. I feel the same as you do that if my children or grand children were ever molested by some creep I would load the shot gun and shoot his privates off first then torcher the B_sta_d.
As for personal pictures here I just think it is nice seeing someone smile. Why not show your happy side. Sounds like some of you do not have one. such a shame!!!

If I smile any bigger my head will disappear

I think that the pic on the profile is a reflection of the person, unique and individual. And most here, have constantly evolving pics to represent the state of mind they are in at any given time...

Mine change all the time......but I always have a real pic of myself too
