AIBU to think that profile pictures should be compulsory on MN?

[gingerkirsty]

I am extremely nosey naturally curious and often wish I could stalk see a photo of a poster.

So how's about it? Will you show me yours?!

oh go on then!

loopy guessing just doesn't do it for me! I am a visual person and need pictures! :)

hhaha loopy, you really want that to get to 40 pages don't you

i would be proud if a thread of mine got past 4 pages!

Ah but Ginger, I guess (well, I just know) for you, you see.

No way would my boat ever go up on here.

Ah but do you?! I have cunningly put a B&W picture on my profile, so whilst my name might seem unimaginative (one might even think that when I chose it I didn't realise you were meant to be clever about it!) in fact you have no way of knowing whether or not I actually am ginger!

YABU. You would all be so jealous of my size 6 figure, huge knockers, blonde hair, fantastic skin and long legs. Better that you use your imagination.

Mmmm cake

Oh, I never look at pics. Really, have a browse of the other thread and you'll know.

humph.

hummmmph right back at ya, was hoping for a full 1000 posts. You dashed my hopes after raising them a teensy bit. :(

Here's me.

But then you all knew that, right?

Only joking; <a class="break-all" href="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:_wBoNsh1yd6XnM:i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/deejay2012/Funny%20Pics/gurn_original.jpg&t=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here I be.

Yes, because some people are intensely private! YABVVVVVVVVVU. Besides, my stunning beauty would floor you. lol

look for one night only, here I am. QUICK, clicky me

Don't be absurd.

This section should be renamed "Am I being totally and feckin' absurd?"

default answer is 'yes, and you know it.'

No, I'm a minger

I'm reminded of the recent spat with Netmums, and someone found a thread where one of the mums wanted to discuss kinky sex, but there she was on her posting with a piccie of her and her DS, and lots of tickers etc. You'd never get a decent Friday night bumsex thread with all the pics.

Ah, but Mars, you are stunningly beautiful.

Compulsory profile pics? What a ghastly idea!

Totally agree with Mrsmadwriggle!!Netmums has the photos..being anonymous is part of the joy of this site. If you want to know someone find a netmums site or a real person. Here we can be who we want to without the restraint of worrying that there will be the ability to find someone in the RW!

YABU! I like being anonymous. Was why I defected from the other place.

MrsMadWriggle - that was me who found that kinky NM thread!

I wouldn't post unless I was anonymous-that is the joy of it-with pictures I would be forced to be as diplomatic as I am in RL!

Completely agree that it's good to have a choice whether or not to be anonymous. I don't have a profile pic and love it as I can say exactly what I feel which, for me, is totally different to RL. Also what would happen if your camera was broken or you were a techno-phob and didn't know how to download pics to your comp then upload to MN? No, definitely not, choice is the way to stay!

KickAssQueen that photo's great. Am loving the 'green tinkle'!! How old is your ds

Yes I agree too. I have a profile pic, I don't mind people seeing what I look like.

If we had profile pics you would be amazed at how many people look like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=steveshark.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/wogandm1510_468x352.jpg&imgrefurl=steveshark.wordpress.com/2009/12/18/wogan-the-end-of-an-era/&usg=__W8ItFLDt4qsTYYHSVTf__2_NVLA=&h=352&w=468&sz=45&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=6lcxd7gl6s6IyM:&tbnh=130&tbnw=188&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dterry%2Bwogans%2Bcock%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rlz%3D1R2GGLL_en-GBGB395%26biw%3D1259%26bih%3D587%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=131&vpy=114&dur=359&hovh=195&hovw=259&tx=124&ty=121&ei=XseRTO6QFIrAswb51oyGCQ&oei=XseRTO6QFIrAswb51oyGCQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this

That was probably the worst sentence Ive ever typed.
