I'm new round here so excuse me if it has been done, but other forums I post on will often have a 'post a picture of yourself' thread. I'm not even sure how you post a picture yet but I thought it would be fun. I have loads on Instagram though!

Most people like the anonymity of mn. I know I do!

WhoTookTheChristmasCookie · 05/12/2018 13:06

What is the point in such a thread?

halfwitpicker · 05/12/2018 13:06

Hell no

glamglamgirl · 05/12/2018 13:09

The clue is in the OP.

"I thought it would be fun"

Confused

if I wanted to look at photos of random women, I understand there are plenty of internet sites that will fulfil my wish.

RTFT · 05/12/2018 13:23

Yeah, I don't particularly want to see photos...unless it's of a dog

glamglamgirl · 05/12/2018 13:25

What a fun lot you are lol!

S'not that fun.

DoneLikeAKipper · 05/12/2018 13:25

Isn’t that why Facebook and Instagram exists? What would be the point on a forum such as thi? Genuinely don’t understand the purpose or ‘fun’ of it, can you explain further, glamglamgirl?

PrincipalVernon · 05/12/2018 13:27

Your idea of fun and mine are very different

TwoLads · 05/12/2018 13:27

Maybe it's fun if you're very attractive and others can tell you so! (Like those 'how old/fat am I' threads)

Do feel free to post a pic of yourself op!

Why don't you start off OP by posting a fun picture of yourself?

DoneLikeAKipper · 05/12/2018 13:30

There’s only ever two reasons (mainly) I’ve seen people post photos of themselves here - they want their ego boosted by ‘omgz, you’re so thin and pretty!’, or they’re trolling with fake life photos.

AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen · 05/12/2018 13:31

Ha. If I wanted people to know who was I'd use my real name! No thank you.

Ha ha...what larks OP. Well, maybe if you are "glam". Otherwise no thanks.

Also I like being anonymous.

I’m the old-fashioned type who requires something to actually be entertaining before I ascribe the word “fun” to it.

SilverySurfer · 05/12/2018 13:41

Ugh, no thanks.

Cherry321 · 05/12/2018 13:44

This is going well Grin

brizzledrizzle · 05/12/2018 13:44

I'd never post a photo of me on here, I don't even have one on Facebook.

Sparklesocks · 05/12/2018 13:44

Most MN-ers like to keep an air on anonymity in case people they know are also lurking on here (hence all the name changes and vague details for certain posts) – I think most posters would prefer to keep their face hidden.

EmeraldShamrock · 05/12/2018 13:48

Considering your username I bet it is to boost yourself.
Anyone who posts one will get their best look, I can look ok but right now I look like total shit. Is it selfies or best one Wink
I look like a troll. Are you a troll.

Drogosnextwife · 05/12/2018 13:49

I don't have facebook, or any other social media like that. If I wanted pics of me plaster all over the internet I would have those things. No thanks OP, not sure how much fun I would get out of this idea of yours.
