why the modern obsession with posting your picture on the internet?
 
i am not sure i understand the need to do it al the time. once or twice sure, every day why?

Glice 09.23.2009 01:28 PM

In theory I share your despair; in actuality, I suspect it's slightly more benign than the need to share your thoughts on some bollocks or other on the internet. Something which you may have noticed I do quite a bit.

Satan 09.23.2009 01:29 PM

why not?

Satan 09.23.2009 01:32 PM

unless you're ugly, of course

in real life people have to put up with my face and my comments all the time.

knox 09.23.2009 01:35 PM

also to display your need to be real not just a smartass net persona.

so we can see each other as real human beings. and blah blah.

I usually wait until I've made about 6 months worth of comments on other's photos before posting one. it's usually deleted within a few hours and only done to lessen the creep-factor of talking about others without a photo of my own.

I have no interest in humanizing myself.

I've met some people from here. They'll verify I have a face. I'd have a face whether they verified it or not.

My proper answer would be that it's really up to the person. Some people don't mind other people looking at them; some get off on it; some people have very visual minds; some people tend to like to live in words. Horses/ courses etc.

Plus, you have quite a punchable face.

some people like to show off their large record collections, some people like to show off their extensive vocabularies, some people like to show off their good bone structure. it's all the same in the end.

knox 09.23.2009 01:43 PM

in real life people haven't got much choice.

I would like to some rear end pictures myself instead of all these boring face shots.
