Because I am a world renowned pornographer/US Senator.
...well, ok, maybe not, but please don't deny a man his dreams.

Spot on.Considering that most people here like to opine without posting photos at all, I think there's only so much room for criticism.
Some of the most opinionated, set in stone rules kind of people here I have never once seen a photo of. I don't know how that speaks of them.Considering that most people here like to opine without posting photos at all, I think there's only so much room for criticism.
Once you have put it on the internet you no longer control it. It isn't yours anymore and should you wish to remove it you may not be able to. Even if it does get removed web sites like the internet archive will keep it for the foreseeable future.
In addition, in a photoshop world anyone can take your face and do what they will with it.

It means that while I dress well, I don't have a photographer on call, and I'm not about to post a photo of myself in the bathroom mirror like I was cruising for sex on Craigslist.Some of the most opinionated, set in stone rules kind of people here I have never once seen a photo of.

I don't think they use mirrors.It means that while I dress well, I don't have a photographer on call, and I'm not about to post a photo of myself in the bathroom mirror like I was cruising for sex on Craigslist.
Call me naive, but I always thought that it was to focus attention on the matter at hand (the clothing) that would otherwise be distracted by the blazing beauty of the wearer:icon_smile_big:

Wrong. People post pictures to show themselves in their clothing, else everything would look as unappealing as those second-hand goods laid out on the bed in the Trad Thrift Store Exchange.Who cares. Why does it matter? People post pictures to show us their clothing.
Non capisco Signore.But seriously,I assume it is for the same reason they do not post their real names or addresses. PRIVACY.
Beresford does a good job summing it up, and makes a good point about the fact that almost no one uses his real name here. I think the forums sometimes lull us into a false sense of security/e-friendship. This often pops up in buying and selling transactions elsewhere -- "I thought I could trust him because ... " But the bottom line is that anyone can access the forums, and, as has been pointed out, information is uncontainable on the Internet.
Would you invite a random AAer into your home? I wouldn't dream of it. So why would I offer up my picture and, in essence, trust every single person who comes along with my identity? Props to those brave souls who feel comfortable doing so, but I'm not one of them.

I think this is caution to the extreme. It's a snapshot for Christ's sake.Would you invite a random AAer into your home? I wouldn't dream of it.

(I've seen your body shots. They've all looked real good. But without your head you're just a mannequin. And as such your clothes have lost their personality.)
Didn't you say you were going to bed 20 minutes ago in another thread?
Come on, if you don't like the threads then stop posting in them! It's like my ultra-liberal friend listening to conservative talk radio -- he gets all riled up and starts throwing things at it. I think I've told him a dozen times to stop listening if it's so bad.

You demonize the Internet.

Eh, my real-life look wouldn't play that well here anyway. You're better off with the mannequin.

My position probably is caution to the extreme. But I can think of one poster right off who regretted being so forward with his personal details here on AA and has since gone to significant lengths to purge some of the information. There are some weird people online, and more than one has passed through our hallowed forum.
Frankly, I don't see why everyone is so fixated on faces. Clothes are clothes. And whether I have a winning smile or a troll-like nose doesn't affect that.
I sure do.You demonize the Internet.
Honestly, I think just about anyone who puts effort into their grooming and smiles when appropriate is going to look good in a well-accessorised suit anyways. I'm certain most of the forum falls into that in some way, so let them hide their faces if they want.
