(And to think I just read on another thread that there are "no stupid questions." I BEG TO DIFFER!)

A dozen times Yeah well that is a woman thing but hey once you figure out whether you like it or not let us know

Have you ever posted a photo of yourself in one of the portrait threads here at subsim?

Those who are already familiar with my usual response to requests for this would probably prefer that I not do it again.

Actually Frau K used to have a lovely picture of herself for an avatar. Hubba hubba!

I take it that you're embarressed about your appearence then. No problem.
But you know, we all look like we look. Of all the subsim members, I don't think I can remember right now anyone else but Sailor Steve and myself who use an actual photo of ourselves as avatar. Posted somewhere in full format...

And don't worry, I'll judge you too hard. Just because I photograph beautiful women every now and then.

So come on now, don't be shy. Prove to me that you're female. You can do it by pm, if you're too shy.

How I feel about my appearance is irrelevant. This is an internet forum. When it comes to the internet, the only time I use my real name, pictures of myself, or any information that could allow someone who sees it to pinpoint exactly who and where I am "offline" is when it is required for a business transaction I wish to make or when I have (by choice) already met or will be meeting someone in person anyway. It's an issue of personal privacy and safety.

Shyness, if and when it exists on my part, is irrelevant (see above).

I have no need and no reason to prove anything to you, nor would my posting or PMing you a picture of a female do so, since I could just as easily PM you a picture of some other random female and you would never know the difference.

What I really need to do is get a picture of myself in gi and black belt, mashing one of my big, male training buddies face-first into the floor with my knee jammed into his spine and one of his arms twisted up behind his back while the other frantically taps the mat for mercy.

Altho I seem to remember using a very nice picture of me in my gi on an old online dating site profile, and some moron there started IMing me saying that it was "too intimidating" (I wasn't doing anything, just STANDING there in a gi, smiling at the camera) and I should use something "softer" and more "passive" if I wanted to attract someone like him. I pointed out that I wasn't interested in attracting anybody, including him, who had a problem with the fact that I knew how to defend myself if necessary. Never heard from him again for some reason... oh well, it's all for the best. He never would've gotten past sensei's Worthiness Panel anyhow.

Yeah, yeah, whatever...
Pawning and all that POS

The photos in a pm was meant as a joke. I very much doubted you would do it, since you wouldn't share such info in a public thread. If you feel good about having this incognito alter ego here, then go ahead and stay anonymous. I could care less.
Personally, I don't have a problem showing the forum users who I am, especially because I took part of one of the subsim meets, where everybody makes lots of photos. So what if future employeurs find out I or any of us have a submarine hobby? It has nothing to do with any criminal activity. At the most, it would be something to hide from a potential mr/mrs in the beginning, since it's a nerd thing.

Anyway, I don't wanna be "enemies" because of this. If you feel insulted because I asked you how you look and if you wanna share, then so be it. But it was meant as an invitation from my part. Not as an insult. How you deal with it from here, is your affair.

Not sure where you're getting the "enemies" thing, given the appended to my reply, nor do I believe I gave any indication of feeling insulted, any more than I gave any indication of feeling embarrassed or shy. Those are your assumptions. I've already stated why I do what I do and don't do online, so let's just drop it shall we?

I compared you to one of our early members, Sharkstooth, or Sharkey for short. That related to the hardcore attitude. But you also share this in common. She attended a couple of Subsim meetings, and absolutely insisted that her face not be shown in the group pictures, so it was overlaid with the cartoon version drawn by torplexed.

I agree, it's a good idea, especially for a woman, to not be giving away too much information. I can't speak for anyone else here, even the men, but I let my picture and info out simply because I've reached a point in my life where I have nothing left to lose. Also guys tend not to think about things that might happen. Women are much better at that.
