Whether it be a girl who sends you a pic soon after starting to chat with you in a chatroom, or girls that post them on those sites to get rated, or even those that post on gupshup.
Do you think there is an underlying reason for them to post their pics? Do you think there is a reason behind a girl posting her pic online or sending you her pic online, besides the fact that she just wants you to know what she looks like? Do you think less of her? Do you assume she must show her pics to lots of guys or something? Do you think she is looking for a compliment?
Girls, do you think guys post their pics to showoff or because they are insecure and want reassurance?
Re: Do you feel that girls who post their pics online are insecure?
you can’t generalise. in some cases, yes they may be insecure. in others maybe they just want to show people what they look like…so theres a look to the nick. some people may choose not to post it cuz they may think there’s too many weirdos on the net…so its not a secure place to have ur pic. other people I know, dont even keep pics of family members in the inbox, for the same reason of security. other people wouldnt open a picture attachment on a public computer for the same reason.
Re: Do you feel that girls who post their pics online are insecure?
Well from what i’ve seen…the girls who dont’ post their pix becoz they say “im very good looking, i dont need others opinions on that” are usually not that good looking
It depends on teh pic really… if he’s posting a pic of himself wiht no shirt and posing and stuff for everyone to see, that’s just pathetic to me.. if he or she is sending those type of pix to just one special person or to friends thas diff… i hav some pix that i wud never post up here but ive shown em to all my friends and ahem..
Re: Do you feel that girls who post their pics online are insecure?
whatchoo trying to say sara? :D that since i've posted many poses, i am pathetic?
munni, i think its more like a sharing thing..u feel like showing where u went,what u had on that day, who u were with, so u put up the pics.. i think its more like that...
but again, putting pics also involves rating them..so depends what u put the pic as...if its "how am i" or is it "summer 2002"
see the difference?
personally, when i post up pics, 70% of the time its for sharing purpose.. what i did, who i was with, where we went, wish u were here, but u r not, so here are some pics so u can see how it was, etc etc..
20% of the time its misc between seeking-compliment/needing-reassurance/pissing people/annoying people/TRYING to showoff, etc...
10% of the time its just upped ...cuz well people expect u to...otherwise they think (astaghfirullah) your prayers are being prayed...
Re: Do you feel that girls who post their pics online are insecure?
It really depends on the individual Munni. Some girls do it cause they crave the male attention/responses which posting their photos generates ... others do it just for fun with no real reason behind it at all, just to share. Same applies to men of course.
A lot of girls are secretive about their photos or don't like to share simply cause they don't feel comfortable with strangers looking at them. I wouldn't make the assumption that such people think too highly of themselves or anything like that. It comes down to a comfort level ... either you are comfortable sharing with the entire world or maybe with a select few ... I wouldn't assume things because of that though.
Re: Do you feel that girls who post their pics online are insecure?
^ See that's what i dont' understand, they dont feel comfortable with strangers looking... unless they wear nikaab in public, then what's the difference? strangers look at them all the time on the streets and school and stuff..
Re: Do you feel that girls who post their pics online are insecure?
It's the whole anonymous factor of the internet. We interact together online but the chances of running into each other out in the real world are slim, unless you go out of your way to arrange it (i.e. a Guppy meet) ... a lot of us have no desire to actually see each other out in the real world. Although we interact with each other, not everybody likes one another. On top of that, it adds mystery if you don't display your picture for the whole world. It makes people curious cause you have a whole online persona but does your appearance match the image you give? Personally, I like that mystery element, although lots of people here have already seen me. :D

I've seen Mehnaz's pic! No, wait, I've seen Mehnaz :D
Anyway, with either guys or girls you can't judge the motivation posting pics, because some do it to show off, others do it because they are comfortable with who they are, others because they are insecure and others simply because they want to erase some of the anonymity.
What IS downright cheap is asking to see someone else's photo. To me, that sound as though you aren't willing to accept them on the basis of their personality alone.
Re: Do you feel that girls who post their pics online are insecure?
There could be various reasons for posting your picture. You could see it as insecurity of the poster, I might see it as someone secure with himself and the poster might have an entirely different perspective. It's our id's desire to satisfy our ego. Acceptance, reassurance, sharing happy moments & memories are all parts of it.
Some posters post just to show the world that they are happy regardless of all the physical 'flaws'. That's one way to tell the world to fk off..go figure!
