WTF?!? That just sucks.

I'd like to post a picture of myself so that people I have played with can allign what they imagined me to be with what I really am - so they could actually put a face to a name, because I think it's an interesting idea - but I refrain because I dont want it to turn in to a vote as to whether I'm good looking or not. Honestly, I dont give a rats ass if any one on this site thinks I'm hawt or fugly, I'm here to play games and have fun, this isn't a dating or hookup site.

Maybe ALL of you should keep your immature "drool" or "so not drool-worthy" comments to yourself and stop holding women to a different standard than you hold yourselves. The males can post their pic just to post it - but the females "Please only post if you are good looking" ...? wtf.

screw you guys.

And JDodge, screw you specifically. You're too much of a panty to post a picture of yourself, but you're awfully quick to tear apart the pictures of the females on this site. It's so easy to be confident and judgemental when you're hiding behind a computer screen.
I think you are hawt.

She actually became slightly hotter when she became a whore, because there was that chance of her getting super trashed and hooking up with me. Unfortunately, it quickly went to too far, and became unattractive.

It is ridiculous how much more people comment on the attractiveness or not of women, compared to men.

In other words, I agree with strappado, so hard.

If I like how a girl looks, should I avoid telling her that and instead look for another non superficial compliment?

Sure. Other people would probably disagree with me, but I think that one step in getting out of the habit of focusing on women's looks so much is to consciously choose to talk about other attributes. It's not what you think, it's what you do that counts.
(No doubt there's an innuendo in there somewhere >.>)

No she's not really a tranny, she just has an Adam's apple. If I had never known of her prior I wouldn't find her ugly. But given what I know of her person, I find her utterly repulsive. The tranny thing is just to point out that Fritzler would enjoy tranny femdom.

Yeah, but...it's a picture thread.

Honestly, this might just be me, but about the most frustrating thing that can happen on an internet forum is when you post something, especally something personal like a picture, and no one says anything about it at all, everyone else just completly ignores you and acts like you're invisible. That just sucks.

I know, right? Why aren't more women in there commenting on how attractive all us guys are? Sheesh.

Wow. Strappado wins this thread. Epic win.

Also I think attitude and personality trump looks every time.

I agree with what you say. But I do think that if you took a sample, the kind of comments guys tend to get on their pictures are different to the kinds of comments girls tend to get on theirs. And so, talking about "is it better to call a girl ugly or pretty" pretty much sidesteps the issue. That was all I really wanted to say.

You have it closer to demeaning than not demeaning. It is not demeaning at all to compliment someone on their looks. So it is impossible for it to be less demeaning to compliment their outfit or whatever.
