What's your facebook or mylot profile?No matter what's it ,it must be the one you expecially choosed.But as what I can see the profiles of many people are perfect head protraits,expecially for some girls,what they present in their profile are like models,beautiful,lovely and sexy.But it's the real person?I am confused.

I use my real pictures on Facebook. I am new here so the pic I have as my avatar is one I personally took, but I never mind putting up real pictures of myself. I figure if people have a problem with the way I really look then they shouldn't be my friend. If my picture is of me first thing in the morning before my hair is brushed or any makeup is applied and they don't like it...tough thats me lol. I am sure there are plenty of people out there that dont use their real pictures though.

Thank you for your respond.On the contrary ,I don't like to use my real picture as avatar.Because I never feel safe when I'm on the internet.I don't want to be recognized by strangers.

That is ok too. However, you are not pretending to be someone you are not either. You are putting a pic of a supermodel up saying this is me. I know plenty of people do that though. I think your avatar on here is cute :)

Hi there, I dont use my real image as my profile picture but I always use picture that I took by myself, my facebook profile picture is picture of crochet hat I made few months ago, my mylot avatar is usually my handmade item too but this time Im using this picture. I dont use my real picture as on internet, but I will tell you something about people who are using good looking picture as their profile, I believe that some of them are using their real picture and some other using celebrity pictures. I believe some people using their real picture because nowadays to have a professional picture is not hard and not expensive. In my place with $10 we can have photo shoot likes model + make up + hair do, and we can get 3 printed picture + picture on CD. And if we have our own camera we can take our own picture and edit it with application or photo editor, we can hide our flaws, we can edit our picture to look as professional model.

I don't think it's difficult do make our avatar perfect,I just wonder whether it's right for us to present a profile with a person that isn't the real us.Of course,we can use some images that we like and this is a good way in which we express our personality.Thank you for your respond.

On my own point of view, if you personally know the person that you add on your facebook or mylot profile., you will immediately know for yourself that they are the real ones who owns their profile.Some girls post pictures with profile pictures that are sexy and model like is because girls love to make their profiles beautiful in the eyes of their viewer not because they are promiscuous.We should always remember that when we have online profiles., it's our personality that is introduced online.So you will know the character of the person by the way he/she handles her online profiles . :)

I am using my real photo in facebook and uploaded a thousand pictures too. We cannot tell who are using their own photos or using other photos unless they are our friends or we know them personally. I only have selected friends in my lists and I know them by heart.
