I took down my pictures. I kinda started out with a loose plan on keeping the fact that I was female hidden. Me posting pictures was stupid and didn't help in that plan. Plus, this is a music forum. What I look like isn't going to give merit to anything I say about music.

So your plan lasted less than one day?

Mandelorean · 03-26-2010, 03:23 PM

Well, I realized that I type like a female. Before I posted the pictures it was already out of the bag. Then I used bad judgment and posted pictures. What is the point of a female posting pictures on here unless they want comments on them...which I didn't. Like I said...just a lapse of judgment on my part.

But isn't your avatar, a pic of you?

It's like a self-defense mechanism for the insecure.

Indeed. I think it's part of an underhanded competitive nature that tries to sabotage the odds and mentally level the playing field when they feel like they're no longer the hottest queen in heat.

It's about ruining someone's credibility, or just not contributing to it, as an attempt gain an edge that their own physical features are no longer contributing to adequately.

But they can't throw those cards away when a real hottie comes along, so they'll just ignore it and pretend like they never saw the hottie so they can maintain face to the public... meanwhile they're looking for ways to call the girl a slut as to take the hotness down a notch with a chance of venereal diseases. lol...
It's not a pretty theory, but in my 29 years of existence around women (growing up in a house of 5 of them), I'm pretty confident it's not even a character flaw, but simply a deep-rooted survival mechanism or some shit.

I don't even think they mean to do it. But they do. All the time.

These statements are so sexist.

...

But also incredibly accurate.

Yeah seriously, this is common on myspace too.

It is...but its so small you can't really tell what I look like in it.

**nonsubmissivewife** · 03-26-2010, 07:05 PM

Well hell, now even if I wanted to post something about how smoking hot Ana is, and how if I were a guy, I'd totally hit that...it would just be weird.

Thanks guys...thanks.

ElephantSack · 03-26-2010, 10:24 PM

Now why would you have to be a guy to hit that?

As for me, the reason why I don't reply to "sexeh babes" photos is that I never reply on someone's sexehness.
And never really understood posting a pic of one's self, the same day that person joins. I wouldn't think anyone would care about some anonymous person's picture, even if they're the most beautiful creature on the planet. So that's another reason.
Absurd, I say (or repeat).

Yeah, it's a lot more fun to get to know people on the forum first, get them to speculate over what you really look like and then show them pictures.
