Heh. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're just insulted because some jackass in this thread posted pics of jacko and you took that personally because you MisterJackson are indeed jacko or at least have some Jackson connection with him.

Leave my dad out of this....

I see your opinion but I really had no such intentions with this thread. Actually you're right, I haven't had too many geeks asking for my pic. So far it hasn't been anything I couldn't tolerate or ignore. I just didn't want it to get out of hand or have guys get the wrong idea when I ignored them. So my intention with this thread was to nip it in the bud. I think it's working too since I haven't gotten any really bad flames in this thread nor any serious pic requests. So basically, mission accomplished.

If you say so......I still haven't gotten my pic from you.

First of all, I have posted my pic in the past in the general members' pics threads that perennially show up. Few people noticed or cared in those threads probably because few ppl knew that I was female. In general, my posts don't usually give away my gender unless I'm particularly offering a female perspective (advice in YAGTs for example:p).

Based on these observations, it's obvious that the only reason for the more frequent pic requests recently is that I finally have 'Girl' in my nick, which is a superficial reason IMO. I don't care for superficiality in general, and that includes male attention based on superficiality.

Another reason is that there are too many of you on this forum that are just disrespectful towards females. and I'd rather not have my pic under the public scrutiny of those types of guys, that's all. Yet there are still quite a few members here, both male and female, who don't fall into this category and who have bothered to get to know me in PM, AIM, or #neochat. I have had no qualms about sharing my pic or even webcam with them if/when they asked.

So basically, showing my pic will be on a show-me-respect-first-and-if-i-like-you-enough-maybe-i'll-show-you basis.

Phew, glad I got that off my chest.:D
Exactly why I'll never post pics of my wife or anyone in my family. You generally get one of two reactions. Either the nerds will swoon over how "hot" this person is, or they will criticize the looks of the person. (Even though said nerd has probably never even held a girl's hand. :p )

Exactly. I will never post pics of my wife although she's absolutely gorgeous (you're gonna have to take my word for it because "pics" ain't gonna happen). However, I will tell the whole world because it inflates my ego that I was able "to land" a trophy wife. :p

Well its seems that way, but there is actually chance she actually feels this way. I mean who would ever think that if you are female on mainly male dominated computer board that she wouldn't recieve requests for her pics. That usually doesn't happen.

Besides she could never take the place of another attention hungry poster ;)


 

LOL! I'm surprised Klee58 made a thread to make an announcement about not sharing her pic. :p

I guess I'm surprised 'cuz I've seen your pic before, Karen! I remember seeing your link in a pic thread as I scanned the whole thread that day. It was the pic where you were sitting at the front desk (it appeared) . . . perhaps a clerical job/reception. I thought it was a decent pic, so it wasn't a big deal. But then when you didn't share it again, I thought I don't blame you since your pic is already there and the guys are bugging you too much. They could always dig the pic if they really were interested. However, I'm surprised you made a separate thread to say that you wouldn't share it. :p

Edit: Never mind! :eek: Ohtwell has the link. :p

Fatbaby: "'AnyMal
Sorry, but I still think you're begging for attention. No offense..'

Corrected spelling error."


In your dreams, Fatbaby. There's nothing to correct. "Offence" is the British spelling and correct spelling. "Offense" is the American spelling. Need I say more? ;)

Sorry. No pic but since I know you live in the Greater Vancouver area - have you seen Dagmar Midcap (the person who does the car thing in the Vancouver Sun with Zack Spencer)? Looks much like her. Better I think. :p
