Why am I uncomfortable with seeing what my fellow MNetters look like?

because you're scared we're all more beauiful than you

HunkerMunker · 24/02/2005 23:21

No, I know that's not possible

After seeing Lou33's picture, I am SURE you are all more beautiful than me.

stupidgirl · 24/02/2005 23:22

I have to say I agree HM. I like the anonymity of MN.

lou33 · 24/02/2005 23:23

i'm fascinated by it all

stupidgirl · 24/02/2005 23:24

Bloody hell, see what you mean about Lou's pic

Gwenick · 24/02/2005 23:25

well you don't HAVE to post a photo

I suppose it's good for people who have posted links to pics on other sites (photobucket, etc) after the password-changing thing last month, but I still prefer words on a screen with sprinklings of emoticons.

I have stopped using babyworld because their forums are stupidly OTT with tickers (seriously - one for each child, one for where you are in your cycle, one for when the washing machine repairman's due next, library books due back, next got to go and bay at the full moon, etc, etc), pictures, colours, fonts, etc - PLEASE don't let MN go the same

I like anonymity aswell, so I won't be posting my ugly picture, but am fascinated to see what mn's look like. some of them not as young/old as I imagined. might post my kiddies pics though!

Gwenick · 24/02/2005 23:27

HM - I had absolute confirmation today - BW will be changing the antenatal groups over later in the year - I'm gutter

toomanypushchairs · 24/02/2005 23:28

my dh says, no I won't. you can't put kiddies pics on the internet!

HunkerMunker · 24/02/2005 23:28

Gwenick about BW antenatal clubs going to the new format. But I'm in touch with people on mine, and should I get pg again, I'm not joining another bw one - why would I when I have MN?!

stupidgirl · 24/02/2005 23:29

Nobody looks remotely like I have imagined them. It's kinda weird. I like not knowing who I'm talking to.

No danger of me posting a pic, I don't do photos.

Gwenick · 24/02/2005 23:30

I know it's awful - still now I know how to do pictures I'm tempted to upload my picture to a free webpage and plaster it all over the BW forums

Xena · 24/02/2005 23:30

I would break all the screens on your computers if I posted my photo and then you would all sue me

HunkerMunker · 24/02/2005 23:31

I think it's because people don't 'look like' their chatnames (even Twiglett, I was disappointed to see ). Not sure what a HunkerMunker looks like though...

OP posts:
HunkerMunker · 24/02/2005 23:31

I was very tempted to do a ticker for all kinds of things and post using them all

OP posts:
suzywong · 24/02/2005 23:39

I like seeing people's kids but I agree about prefering the anonymity of the actuall MNers

marthamoo · 24/02/2005 23:40

I know what you mean - odd isn't it?
