Why people won't show face pics

[kingofthejunglists]

I honestly do not understand why so many people are reticent to post pictures of their face, although WAY TOO MANY of these people are willing to show us their (usually) nasty cocks.... Afraid someone might find out? Give me a break. It's not like you're renting a billboard on the busiest street in your town with your ugly mug on it saying "I swing both ways!!!" You're on a site that 99.99% percent of the population has never been, nor ever will be on. No one is going to say "Hmmm... I suspect John is bi, I'll go on bisexual.com and search the hundreds upon hundreds of profiles to try to find his!" On the INCREDIBLY MINISCULE chance that someone you do know happens to stumble upon your profile, they're almost certainly in the same boat as you.

Stop being pussies.

Hi king.

Click here (http://main.bisexual.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2752&highlight=previously) and review especially #29 for some answers(?)

There must be hundreds of other postings scattered all around the Forun, with some possible insights......

yoyo :cool:

[spartca]

Stop being pussies.

First of all, I object to that sexist remark.

Secondly, I agree with you that it would be nice if more folks would come out of the closet. How else will anything ever change?

Lastly, image recognition software is in development and testing. It will not be long before images can be googled like words. Lots of websites are archived by third parties. I wouldn't be surprised if the government was one of them. So not wanting to put up a face pic sounds like a good plan to me if you're not planning on coming out of the closet. Sexual orientation is not a constitutionally protected category in the USA and may be legally discriminated against.

As an aside, personally I've grown rather immune to cock shots. Not that I don't like cock, but after a while I've found I have become desensitized to pictures of disembodied cocks. While like anyone else I have my preferences in size and shape, seeing a picture of what a person's cock or pussy actually looks like is nearly irrelevant to the dating process for me.

But as many have mentioned in other threads, since it's not safe for many men to come out of the closet as gay or bisexual, cock shots are the inevitable result. I just ignore them.

Well for a site where 99.99 % of the have never heard of us, I personally have already come across 2 different people that live within 15 miles of me. And I am talking small town Michigan. One of them is very good friends of a former co-worker of mine who happpens to enjoy the arts of gossip. Alot of people here are in situations where maybe their partners do not care if they are on this site, but its possible to be recoginized otherwise. Its happened. Whether we are strong in the community, have government jobs, or just plain want something discreet. Many people have pictures, and if you hmmmm get to know someone that might be interested in you they'll share their pictures.

Something else , you might want to clean up your language and not call us pussies, even if that is trully how you feel , the administrators here do not allow or condone abusive behavior and so far thats all I have seen from you.

[dancechic17]

Not everyone is out and many people are very curious and need to take things slow. That is one of the great things about the internet, you can remain anonymous. Even for people who are out, sometimes posting a face picture means receiving a lot of propositions from people you aren't interested. If you are attractive, most people will see your picture and immediately send you mail without reading your profile. Then you have to sort through mail or put up with constantly being bothered to chat or cyber. So maybe it's not worth the hassel. Just a different way of looking at things.

[NakedBike]

Where's yours?

[Barejerrfla]

I suppose it is the level of "out-ness" you are or have. I am out to about everyone, who knows I am bi... so it wouldn;t be a shock for anyone including my mother, should she accidently come accoss this site or others like it

[jem_is_bi]

Even if I could be open about my bisexual orientation I would not include a face picture on this or any site. I have to have a work identity badge, state drivers license, U.S. passport, all with face pictures. I am not interested in having a web identity badge for sexual orientation to add to this collection (see spartca post). I agree with GreenEyedLady; when asked as part of a mutually pleasant person-to-person interaction, I have exchanged face pictures. I will try to set an example of tolerance for others and their beliefs and life styles. However, I do not feel bravery is demonstrated by damaging or destroying your career and hurting those you love.

Pussies... pussies? Twould appear that we have another Daisy999 on board for the time being.

[Herbwoman39]

First, I would like to point out that name calling is tacky and beneath an adult vocabulary.

Secondly, you would be amazed how difficult it is for many men in this country to be out. Just because you're out and loud about it doesn't mean that it is safe for others in small communities to be as visible. Violence against gay/bi men is on the rise. Just last week a few counties over from where I live a young man was murdered simply because he was gay.

I'm sure you appreciate the continuous inhalation of oxygen just as much as the rest of us. But for some, to come out is as good as a trip to the unemployment office or worse. We are unprotected, as someone else said.

For example over in Largo a couple weeks ago, a 15 year city planner was fired simply because he's transitioning from male to female. I'm sure that you enjoy eating as well as breathing. HE lost his paycheck because he came out.

I'm sure you're beginning to see a pattern here. It's not a weakness to stay in a safe condition and remain in the closet. For some, it's self-preservation.

After all, what good is being out if you're broke and/or dead?

[12voltman59]

I have a number of other sites that I go to not have nothing at all to do with anything sexual and I still do not put pictures of my face on those sites with but one exception--

While I have no problems sharing all kinds of information about myself as evidenced by the posts I put on here and elsewhere and photos of some of the activities I engage in life--I still have a reluctance about putting a photo of me on the Internet--

I do share face pics when I talk to people I have come to know---

[kingofthejunglists]

My question wasn't "Why doesn't everyone have face pics?", it was "Why do people just post photos of their genitals to the exclusion of nothing else?" Obviously, if you're putting up a pic of your cock you DO want to chat or cyber. I don't care if someone has no photos, but if you're going to post your penis on the internet you might as well post your face, too. :2cents:

"Just because you're out and loud..."

Yes, I'm "out and loud" because I'm on a site visited by total strangers to me.

[jedinudist]

The subject of the "infamous and gratuitous genital photos" has been gone over several times before. Just about everyone has an opinion about it, and no matter what that opinion is, we have absolutely every right to it. Just as we have the right to express it and politely debate each other over our own individual view points.

However, it is our responsibility to do so with a little dignity, class, and consideration. Blatantly calling people names is not the right way to go about expressing your views. It is not only rude and inconsiderate, it is actually in violation of the rules and guidelines of the site and I understand them.

Apparently from what you have written, you feel that if someone is going to post a photograph, they should include their face because you deem their chances of being discovered as so minuscule that it is highly likely it would never happen. You underestimate the chances of being "found out". This is still the internet, and even here on Bisexual.com we have discussed and debated each other about the amount of information in a person's profile and how for many tech savvy people it is quite easy to link information together across the web to discover someone's identity. I'm not good at it and even I have had success a few times when I used the techniques to track down the identity of people who were harassing me online. Gather the info, contact an ISP, and suddenly I'm not being harassed any longer. It is literally only 1 fairly easy step further to have a name and address.

People with ulterior motives can use information to quite literally destroy another person's life. Out them to their employer, fellow employees, friends and family, then sit back and watch the show.

It is 100% LEGAL in may parts of the U.S. to openly discriminate against anyone who is not 100% heterosexual. I suspect quite strongly that the reason I lost out on a good paying management position was because I am out of the closet, and googling my name off the resume, the employer will see links to interviews I have done for the Washington Blade (a GLBT paper in D.C.) as well as other articles and interviews about my sexual orientation. It is a price I paid when I chose to come out of the closet completely. I was their number 1 choice with a very strong lead after my interview and heard them talking as I exited the office area. Almost everyone wanted to call me back into the office and hire me on the spot, but one said something about "Let's google him just like the rest and see what..." They never called me back after that and never returned my calls to them.

It is not our prerogative to expect others to be willing provide such information and expose their lives to such risk.

I have personally met other men and women who are bisexual, their spouses know and have given permission to them to pursue a same-sex partner, but they are absolutely not able to come out of the closet because it would wreak massive destruction on their lives as they know it. Jobs can be lost, reputations can be destroyed, children can be bullied and made miserable, people can be brought to the breaking point because some bigoted idiots find out and use this kind of information against someone.

Each person much decide for themselves where their comfort limits are. And it is not our right to judge them because we don't like where they have set their limits.

One of the absolute most wonderful things I have found here at Bisexual.com is UNDERSTANDING. I have found friendship, advice, concern, compassion, fun, laughter, acceptance and more, but the thing that really made me stay was the understanding I received from most of the people here. They never questioned my limits, they did not judge me or call me names because I wasn't fitting into their preconceived definitions or giving them what they want. They UNDERSTOOD that each of us must approach this subject through the filters of our own lives, and thus we will all handle this subject in our own ways and up to our own comfortable limits.

Perhaps you could take that into consideration?

BTW- I don't recall who mentioned the facial recognition software, but it's been out for years and it's really good. I used it in casino surveillance. It's just like other software in that it's always "under development". The newer stuff coming out now is terrifyingly good, in so much as it needs much less pattern info (percentage of the face and angle of observation) to do it's job.

[kingofthejunglists]

Jedinudist,

I see where you're coming from, but what's stopping some "bigoted idiots" from befriending someone online, getting them to send them their pics, and then doing the same thing.

Besides, if you live in a place where "jobs can be lost, reputations destroyed, and children made miserable" I would highly suggest finding another place of residence and/or employment.

"Not as easy as it sounds bla bla bla"
Cry me a river.

Also, it seems many of you are extremely thin-skinned. I call it like I see it. If my language offends you that says more about you than it does me.

Your profile is either blocked or has NO pics

That doesn't make me a hypocrite. I don't currently have access to a camera. Regardless, reread my post #13.

Hi all.....

I wonder if we are facing a prospective "Bad Karma" posting session?

Of course it could be, that I am just overly sensitive, that I am a pussy(?)

yoyo :cool:

[12voltman59]

I don't know if people realize it or not--but if your Google your name on here--practically everything you post on here comes up on Google.

If someone is investigating what you do on the net--it is probably rather easy for them to find out what your handle on here is and then all of your things you have written are out there for the whole world to see--

What is written on this room is not done in a vacuum---just because you need a membership on here--what you write on here does go out on the world wide web

OMG I didn't know it till a friend of mine told me so and I was so red lol
I was lacking on posting on another message board I used to post all the time on..... and someone wondered where I was and one girl said "Oh, I googled the name she usually uses.... shes around, very active on another message board........" which had me posting on that site to say Im still here.... and told her that its not nice to google people! :) hehe I was red tho hehe just felt shy since at that time no one on that site knew I was either bisexual or a lesbian :) But the nice thing was no one asked if they googled, the girl didn't disclose the this sites name so it was all good.

I did look up myself and wow... yep. Every posts Ive made ON THIS SITE appers on google which is why Im not talking about my latest love interests.... hehe

[12voltman59]

King--I don't like to make comments personal but man--you are one Judgmental son of a gun aren't ya??

And something else--I would not have so much of a problem with that--but other than the most minimal amount of info necessary to be a member here--your profile has nearly a whit about yourself---

As I have suggested to other people--you don't need to write a book about yourself and you don't have to have the profile info for "hook up" purposes--simply because it makes it kind of nice to help let others know some things in order to make friends--but then again--you seem like a rather contankerous sort and therefore you seem to be the type that doesn't like to have or has much need for friends....

My man--I offer ya one bit of advice--please lighten the fuck up dude!!!!!!!!

And if you don't like the way this site is--well--you don't have to stay--this place has its own style and such that has been part of it longer than you have been here---this site in terms of having pics of body parts is about the least offensive of any other bisexually themed site on the entire web that I have found---so if you don't like this place and its style--maybe you ought to consider stepping on and finding some place more to your liking or start one yourself ---

You have only made a handful of posts thus far and most of them have contained negative remarks of one kind or another--and they are not so much valid, helpful comments--they are merely negative without offering any positive options---

But it takes all kinds to make a boat run --so anyway-welcome to the site and just take a chill pill dude!!!! You might actually come to like this place and the people here if you give the site, the people and yourself a chance to do so.....

[Herbwoman39]

Yes, I'm "out and loud" because I'm on a site visited by total strangers to me.

As far as you know my dear. Anybody who knows you could be lurking around. This is why some people choose not to post face pics.

GEL had people she knew show up out of the blue. There are people on here from my neck of the woods as well. To top that off, a woman I knew 10 years ago showed up out of nowhere and PM'ed me.

This is not private. As others have said, everything goes out onto the web. People who don't post face pics probably have reasons for that. I've come to respect that. It's just part of the way this little part of the world works.

Maybe there will come a day when people aren't discriminated against or threated with bodily harm for being BTGL, but until then, we have to take precautions to be safe.

*I* am fortunate in that my husband and I own our own business that is web and phone based. So I don't have to worry about the locals or being fired. I'm lucky. Many aren't.

I hope that helps you understand my position a bit better.

[kingofthejunglists]

Sorry if I've come off as an asshole, folks, I'm just used to forums where people don't bother being PC and don't hesitate to speak what's on their minds.

Herbwoman, yes I understand where you're coming from, but my point was, anyone who finds you on here isn't going to out you because to do so would be outing themselves. If they're already out then y'all probably live in a place where it doesn't matter, so it's a moot point!

[Fire Lotus]

Sorry if I've come off as an asshole, folks, I'm just used to forums where people don't bother being PC and don't hesitate to speak what's on their minds.

Most if not all of us here do appreciate honesty and people's opinions. But this is not about being PC. It's about tact. One can get their point across without acting like a jerk about it.

[welickit]

Anyone can post a picture of a face, cock or pussy....it doesn't mean it is really their body part or their picture. The fakes outnumber the real people on the internet so it really doesn't matter what they post, you have to find out in person or just take their word.

[chook]

I reckon we have a guy here that judges people by their looks.....in otherwords if he dont like the look of you he wont chat with you and anyway where does it say that you have to include a face pic when you register to me its up to the individual and not some blowin who has his panties in a knot because he cant see a face pic.......and before you start screeching like a big girl I aint got a pic in for the simple reason I chose not to post one. And my advice to you king is to get to know the place before you go off half cocked and you might find that there is a lot of really nice people here who in the course of conversation will be only too happy to share a pic or two with you........but dont go demanding it!!!


Cheers Chook :bigrin:

[lilbitsva]

I feel that some people do not have alot of self-esteem and don't want to put a picture up because they think that people will not contact them if they seen there face. Which i know that i can't say alot because i don't have a pic up yet. But I'm sorry some people are like that and i dont' see nothing wrong with that it's there profile and if they want to do that it's there. I see that alot of people like to put up there bodies then so be it. I see nothing wrong with not putting them up or putting the ones that you are comfrontable up. lil bit

[DiamondDog]

People are closeted, sometimes with good reason but most often that's a kinda moot point unless you have reason to fear for your life, which in that case I'd suggest that you don't put a face pic on here.

[jedinudist]

I can see this individual's motivation. This is not a constructive thread in so much as this "kingofthejunglists" does not want it to be.

Taking a leaf from his book where he highly suggests finding another place of residence and/or employment, I likewise suggest he take his senseless baiting to some other forum where his belief that everyone should do as he says (BUT NOT AS HE DOES) might find a more receptive audience.

Don't ask other people to do what you yourself aren't willing to.

These are troll tactics employed simply to stir people up and draw attention. I don't think most of us are thin skinned, it's just that we have a little more class, compassion, and understanding than some people can appreciate or understand.

"kingofthejunglists", spew whatever drivel you wish to spew in response, I am done responding to your constant criticisms, demands, and complaining.

It's such a shame that so many trolls have found their way here.

[Herbwoman39]

I'm glad we could see eye to eye King :) I see your point as well. It's a very valid one.

My thought remains that if someone from another, unrelated site were to google my nickname for whatever reason, they would find my postings here. While that's not an issue for me, many others don't have that same luxury.

And yeah, I hear you thinking "Well use a different nickname ya silly goofball.". That's the one way I can think of to maintain total anonymity. Use only one specific nickname for this site. Which, and I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, would even help to maintain anonymity even while posting a face pic.

Thanks for helping me puzzle that out :bigrin:

[Herbwoman39]

I'd like to point out that King has made an apology for his earlier attitudes. I think we should all respect the courage that took and give the man another chance.

Yes people CAN out you if they see you on the site.... I don't know why KingoftheJungle thinks they won't??
Yea, why did that peson come on the site? Maybe they looked up your screen name and got curious to see what your doing on bisexuals.com and yes they will out you if they want to.

They wouldn't be outing themselfs... they were pretty much just seeing where you posted on lately. Happened to me and probably has happened to others.

As for FACE pics... when you live in a small town where everyone knows everyone... would you really want someone to come up to you in public and loudly annoucing "HI!! I saw your pic on Bisexuals.com!!" and worse, your not out so people turn and stare then start whispering.
Im in a small to medium size town which is a tourist spot in the spring/summer I never had that happen but when 2 different people on different times have given me "I know who you are" smiles and look, it makes me wonder how do they know me?? lol cause I sure don't know them!! :)

[spoiledangel860505]

kingofthejunglists,

I am not trying to be mean/rude but I think you need to "walk the walk before you talk the talk" so to speak, meaning, post a picture on your profile of YOUR face before you start complaining about what other people do.

(Anyone else agree?)

Look at my profile, I have face pictures, that's it all you see, I have learned my lesson about "pics".
I do agree with you; that people shouldn't do it, but ya know they are going to do it anyways whether you like it or not (unless Drew steps in on this site and says its not allowed); not to mention, people might not even be putting up their real pictures of any body part on the internet, you basically have to meet them in person, see them on live webcam or take their word for it. I have had some run ins with those types of people the ones claiming to be younger, showing high school pictures when they are really in their late 20's married and a baby on the way.

I won't get into that now. I think that if you want to show those body parts, then you should put down contact information and let those that are interested in seeing contact you.

Anyways, I believe the only REAL way to see what the other person looks like via the internet is through LIVE webcam on site with video chatrooms like this one http://www.masturbationpage.com/index.php?page=chattest.html FREE to create an account and chat, or through yahoo/msn/aim/icq etc messenger.

Here's my pussy, the only one that I will ever show on this site........very furry lol :tongue:

Her name is Sassie Nichole she's 14 years old, half blind......

[seafer]

I honestly do not understand why so many people are reticent to post pictures of their face, although WAY TOO MANY of these people are willing to show us their (usually) nasty cocks.... Afraid someone might find out? Give me a break. It's not like you're renting a billboard on the busiest street in your town with your ugly mug on it saying "I swing both ways!!!" You're on a site that 99.99% percent of the population has never been, nor ever will be on. No one is going to say "Hmmm... I suspect John is bi, I'll go on bisexual.com and search the hundreds upon hundreds of profiles to try to find his!" On the INCREDIBLY MINISCULE chance that someone you do know happens to stumble upon your profile, they're almost certainly in the same boat as you.

Stop being pussies.


I have no problem showing my face. I have bumped into several people in the malls and stores around my area that Ive seen or chatted with on different sites.. they always recognize me and ask if Im seafer and I usually say yes. unless the person is kinda freaking me out for some reason..

[seafer]

Where's yours?

I was gonna ask the same question!!!!

[12voltman59]

Nice looking pussy SpoiledAngel!!!

[Domino]

As far as posting face pics, I understand why people don't. It's a small bloody world. I had a few pics up in myspace and a stranger approached me because he had seen them, it realy unerved me.

When a guy is Bisexual there is not allot of tolerence for it, it is the trend for woman to be bi, but men it is different. I totally understand why poeple don't put pics up. The same reason why I am masked in my pic.

[coyotedude]

My response is really easy: because I don't want to.

If people don't like it: oh, well. That's their problem, not mine.

Besides, the coyotes I post in my pics are reflective of who I am.

So there. Get over yourself. Neener neener. :tongue:

:three: security is the reason...most people on these sites are looking for community and sexual gratification...there are some predatory individuals on these sites whose behavour is malevolent...some of these individuals are stalkers and there have been violent conclusions to affairs started on social networking sites...my hookups have been all good...be selective in choosing who u release information to :three: ...may all your meetings be good ones...

[bitree]

I won't for the simple fact that I haven't and most likely will never come out of my closet. BTW....I noticed YOU don't post any pictures either.....hmmm....atleast none that I can find.....wasup?!

[jedinudist]

My response is really easy: because I don't want to.

If people don't like it: oh, well. That's their problem, not mine.

Besides, the coyotes I post in my pics are reflective of who I am.

So there. Get over yourself. Neener neener. :tongue:

Peace

Did you hear about the coyote that wandered into a sandwhich shop in Chicago? Uber-cool

I have never worked out why pics are so important....

I do accept that to some people a genitalia shot is important for viewing the goods, but personally myself.... any body can post a profile and a pic.... but nothing blows a persons image, like the first 2 minutes of talking

Personally I couldn't care less who knows I'm bi, I don't see it as that relevant to anything, it's just my sexuality, akin to things like what colour is my hair, what size my shoes are.

Unfortunately, at least for me, the rest of society doesn't see it that way. While a few people know I'm bi, they are discreet, and for good reason - I know for definite most of my family would be horrified and would be weird about it, my relationship with my co-workers would change for the worse, basically my ability to function in my area of society would be impaired.

So, is it worth it being open about my sexuality? At present no. If I weren't in marriage (with a woman) that appeared hetro then I guess it would be more important. If I got into a relationship with a man (and I wasn't married) I wouldn't hide it, since then the relationship would be more important than societal impairment. I'm not hiding it now, just not broadcasting it.

If someone asked me if I was bi I would answer truthfully - I've defended gay friends publicly in the past from other friends who assumed I would "circle the wagons" and join in with the gay bashing.

Gone into a bit of a ramble here, but I guess what I'm saying is at present, posting a picture of my face here, coupled with the awesome power of search engines, could end up being a problem for me at present. My attitude is if people can't tolerate you being gay or bi, then they probably aren't worth knowing - however, not so easy when they're your parents, or close friends.

I guess the reason why a site like this one is so important is purely because of the lack of societal acceptance, otherwise this forum would be pointless? (there are plenty of other sites where you can meet people for sex where bi is not an issue)

Well, if they're really your "friends" they won't care. I ceased being friends with my BEST FRIEND in the world just last year because he had become a total asshole. And you know what? I don't miss him in the least- because he is a total asshole.

As for parents, unless you're trying to get their inheritance why do you care? I'm not terribly close to my parents now, if they were to reject me for being bi I wouldn't think twice or have any regrets about shutting them out of my life completely.


Anyhoo... I see I'm a real popular guy here. Nice to know.

I agree, but have a different way of looking at it:
Do I have anything to gain by them knowing? No. (not even something like more respect, I'm fairly close to them)
Do I care if they know? No.
Is it important to me they know? No.
If they asked me would I tell them? Yes
Would I hide a gay relationship from them? No.
Do I have anything to loose by telling them unnecessarily? Yes.
Would I defend gay friends or the right to be gay (or bi) in front of friends and family? Yes. (and have done on several occasions)

I just don't feel strongly about broadcasting it at the moment, it just isn't that important to me. I do feel strongly about people being prejudiced against bi/gay people though and would have no hesitation in proclaiming my bisexuality if the situation required it (say in the defence/support of another).

I saw that story on the news--now that coyote has a home in wildlife preserve--not long ago in my city-we had a coyote that got trapped in a downtown parking garage--it finally left the garage and they last saw it heading down an alley---got to hand it to those critters--they have learned to live in about any environment---a good reason for not letting your dogs and cats to run free--they might become coyote kibbles and bits....

Same thing in Britain with foxes (basically the same as coyotes, but smaller). Caught four of them in my back garden trying to get into the rabbit hutch, had to chase them off. I live in London.
