Quote Jay_me "When I first joined rhp a few years back I was carefull not to show my face because of the public profile I once enjoyed." That is the same reason we don't show it, being in a small regional city where we both meet and know a lot of people through work and kids sport/schools it's best to have some mystery :) For example we have exchanged messages with another local couple and then spotted them at the junior footy which is fine because it's mutual and still private. If we have our pic up then who else is on here and will recognise us without us knowing? Employees, customers, my 20yr old daughter or one of her friends? No thanks! Some people may be shy, some people may lack confidence, some may want to limit the amount of attention they get, others may not want to be judged by looks alone. I'm sure there's plenty of reasons ;) Mr HnH

I work in a very conservative corporate environment, being female and still fairly early on in my career, I'd prefer not to risk any potential negative impacts my lifestyle may have on my ability to earn an income. It is nearly 2015 but slut shaming is still with us loud and proud. Despite being discreet and never having showed my face in public pictures I have had one particularly bad experience. A few years ago a subordinate at work somehow figured out who I was on here. He proceeded to maliciously sexually harass me and threatened to out me and distribute my pictures to others in my workplace if I didn't perform certain sex acts on him. I just ignored him and thankfully it all went away without any further embarrassment to me or need for Police getting involved, but you get the idea. Not everyone who is a member on here is here for the right reasons, I try to protect my privacy and anonymity as best I can while not letting the bad ones dissuade me from being here altogether.

but anything is better than the dreaded grey ghost. As Hnh said, you've answered your own question....... Doh! That wraps that conundrum up.

Come on. You've been around too long to ask what really is a silly question. Some people are cheating and hoping not to get caught. Some are lying in other ways. Some would put their jobs or family relationships at risk if people found out they were on a site such as this. Some people are shy/private/new to the site and finding their way. Some have deeply personal reasons that are difficult to explain and irrelevant to anyone else. Some are ... Fill in the blanks. It's not really very hard to put yourself in the possible shoes that other people might be wearing. I've never had face pics on this site and never will. My reasons have been some of the above, and more. - Posted from rhpmobile

Some peoples profile pictures are very sexy and create a sense of a desire to see and know more. You can tell a lot about a person from their pictures, someone who has creatively posed photos face or not would appeal a lot more to me than a standard passport photo...smiles or not! Plus if people had their faces it would mean they lost out on an opportunity to show off the size of their manhood to everyone.....but that's another thread!

when people have no photos or they don't open their pg to show you upon contact. My face is there to be judged on, and judge away, I don't want to be wasting people's time who are not interested in my physical appearance. I also have clothed full body shots, so they can see my size and height. I understand people want discretion for various reasons, what I don't understand is why people allow other people who are obviously twats who have been looking around on the site and have no right to be calling others out on being on here when they are themselves. I really don't understand how they get the moral upperhand when they are just as guilty??

Quoting 'morethanahandful' I work in a very conservative corporate environment, being female and still fairly early on in my career, I'd prefer not to risk any potential negative impacts my lifestyle may have on my ability to earn an income. It is nearly 2015 but slut shaming is still with us loud and proud. Despite being discreet and never having showed my face in public pictures I have had one particularly bad experience. A few years ago a subordinate at work somehow figured out who I was on here. He proceeded to maliciously sexually harass me and threatened to out me and distribute my pictures to others in my workplace if I didn't perform certain sex acts on him.

Not everyone who is a member on here is here for the right reasons, I try to protect my privacy and anonymity as best I can while not letting the bad ones dissuade me from being here altogether. Sadly it's the bad apples in this world morethanahandful that ruin it all for all us good people. However it seems you are having fun & good on you!! For the same reasons in my career I have limited pictures, and once getting to know someone and swapping numbers and building up a bit more trust and honesty with a person will I send more pics naughty and nice.

Why tell other people what to do? Why insinuate that if they don't do what you do, they are lesser people with inferior motives and dubious characters? We are all individuals. We all make our own decisions. For our own reasons. In the context of our own lives. Let each decide for themselves what works best for them and let them live with the consequences of that decision in attracting prospective acquaintances. To use or fail to use a face picture in a profile as an arbiter of blame or worth strikes me as a somewhat shallow approach to the exercise. I believe the opinions expressed are more important than the beauty of the lips which speak them.

Some people don't like their face planted all over the internet, it's called personal preference, who really gives a shit anyway.... I have face pics, sometimes I hide them, sometimes I don't, but that would be my choice..... I wouldn't meet anyone with seeing a face pic (lesson learnt), but I don't care if they don't have them in their public gallery, as long as I get to see one.....💋

It's my choice to put up a photo or not. So I will do what makes ME comfortable and happy. If it upsets you, then don't click on my grey ghost. Simples.

Some of us are actually ugly, even as a baby I was ugly so best to leave it till I have them totally hooked before dropping that clanger on them. I have great eyes but the frame is too distracting so must use my so called cute bum and thick dick for all I can get. Thank god there are still enough shallow people in the world for that to work.

A couple in Perth opened their pg for someone and that person sent a screen shot of their pics to her mother who is a prominent member of the Perth community.....another person had someone take a screen shot of their profile face pic,and send it to their boss...I have a new ipad and am still working on putting pic here but it will go in my pg.I work for an uber conservative organisation and have no wish to have this happen to me. :( xx Freya...oh and even though I am a grey ghost at the moment,I m a real person,really :)

Jennylee and I have face pics in our PG's available upon request. While most of our family is aware of Jen's bisexuality, we still don't advertise it to avoid embarrassing them. Not everyone is accepting of activities like swinging, same sex play, group activities, multiple partners etc so we are private about it. It's much easier for members who are men seeking women or women seeking men to be open about it unless they are doing it without their spouses knowledge.Jay, I really think you were aware of the need for many to be discreet so, in line with what Burning_Love said, why ask silly questions?

after all, if someone isn't attracted to the body face doesn't really matter (although that can be vice versa :p). We make sure we have lots of very recent face images in our PG and we update them regularly.

No way am i putting my face pic up to be recognised. Thats what pg is for. I work in education so the backlash from staff or parents would cost me my job.Im not embarrassed by any means to show my face to those i want to get to know on here, and i will open my pg. plus i have adult children, so that would be pretty bad if they, or their friends saw me on here. Its not exactly eharmony.

i won't put up face pics due to working in education. Last thing I need is a current or ex student making life difficult for me. I can't risk the department finding out either, I happen to love my job. - Posted from rhpmobile

A tangent of a question could be...... why are people so shy to show their face..... but more than readily take photos of their bits and share those with the wide world?!!! Seems a bit weird really.

You asked are they hiding something? My personal answer.....well yes I am. I am hiding my identity. Funny thing is, it is MY identity, and I can damn well hide it if I wish. Please excuse me for trying to maintain some vestige of control over how far and wide my activities are known. My facial pics are in my PG and will be shared when and if the time is right. If you read my profile I also seek people who are going to engage with me mentally, take the time to explore a connection that is a little deeper than an attraction to my face. I know many other people who have similar on their profiles. If they are 'shopping' only on what my face looks like then I doubt we are going to get along.

Which is fine. We all have reasons for doing the things we do and I can accept that. I put this out there for discussion with most respondents happy to stay anonymous and not expose them self any more than they have. Mine was a opinion and that's all ? Its not gospel and no one is about to try and change the way you feel , so please don't think that be the case. I respect what everyone had to say and why they feel the way they do ?

you're conclusion in my view is way off... The consensus is more about "each to their own for their own circumstances" Not whether it's better to keep them private or public... For example... Your face pic for you works well in public forum....despite it being perfect for radio 😝 Mine is ok in the public forum as I don't give a shit... But for those who don't wish to be recognised by all and sundry due their own individual circumstances it pays to keep it private... It's not a one size fits all scenario.... - Posted from rhpmobile
