To all you guys that posted your real pictures - I think you guys are awesome! (I'm not convinced, however, that some of those other pictures are joke pictures at all... :roll: )
LBCDO, you seem like a way cool guy. So at ease with yourself. Isn't it a great feeling to be who you want to be? If only all the others knew the freedom and relief that comes from being your true self. The closet is WAY too crowded.
All you guys that posted real pics..... congratulations.
Everyone's been real 'rah rah', but here's another perspective LBCDO.Quote:

People lurk on this board, who the fuck knows who they are. The last thing you want is someone pretending to be you, sending your pic out to whoever. You don't know if they are sending it out to fucking kids, grannies, or maybe even Republicans for God's sake. I'm not talking about the kind of ID theft that can ruin your credit, but your credibility? Possibly. And it could be a pain in the ass.
For the girls, it's a different issue in many of their cases, because if they are a celebrity, a model, or someone who's ever signed a model release, their pics are out there already. Just be careful. I also go on a sports bulletin board - I wouldn't post a pic on that one, either.
I get where you're coming from but you should know another side, too.
just joined the board. might as well rise to the occassion i suppose....
But where do you draw the line with identity theft, i mean nobody on this board might be who they say they are, for all we know the president himself could be browsing right now! Id post my own pic but whats the point i can hardly prove its me, so i will stick to msn for showing my pics.
Are you talking about real Identity theft, or someone just using a fake picture? I guess if someone uses a fake picture that is on them. I mean, like I said, what if someone actually likes you? Then you are only hurting yourself. And if you post a pic, then decide to go to an Allanahs party, or a girl in your area wants to meet you, you put yourself into a whole situation you wouldnt want to be in correct? We always want to see pics of new girls who show up and dont have them in their avatar, so I dont think its to far from anyoen wanting to see us! And from someone who has been in IT for a whie, and was on Oprah when he was a child for computer intrustion/identity theft issues, you have a next to none risk of identity fraud from someone seeing your picture or you posting on HA.
Its just a picture! Stop making excuses people and post! We got someone who posted their pic on their first post! This thread has probally been looked at by every girl on this site. Lots of the admirers post how they would love to meet these girls, want to shower them in gifts and love, etc. but you gotta show up to do it first! if you go to the club, you get no numbers sitting against the wall, LOL.
Its all in fun, and thaanks to everyone who is posting
My name on The Black-Tgirls board and on Yum was FrnkPwrs, because my name is Frank. You know how many times I met knew girls in ATL who said that they already knew me? Everyone would go to girls and say "Im frank powers, I know your friend so-and-so." or "Im franks cousin" LOL, it was funny but it didnt hurt me. Anyone want to verify me for me, if I dont speak spanish and your not 5'11" you got problems!Quote:

I am a promoter, so I have TONS to lose from being "outed" but how many people do you see still talking about Eddie Murphey?
Its really a non issue for me. Everyone has their reasons, but Im not really concerned about ID theft or harrasment. If someone recognizes me from someone else using my picture, 99% of the time, someone is going to use it for an area im not even in so credibility doesnt matter. Or they are going to use it in a way to that is appealing. i.e. I doubt someone is going to use my picture in ATL to hook up with ATL girls. And please, if someone uses my picture to set up a date with Allanah Star, .ca Foxx, Bam Bam, BabyDoll, Penelope, Lucero, Giselle, or any other fine ass East Coast girls, then please let me know so I dont miss out!
Thanks. It is a relief though. I cant change who I am, I walk into a bar, thats me. I walk into a club, thats me. But no matter what I look like, Im not going to hide myself. You cant go to the balls and pageants wearing a mask! I havent seen many at Allanahs party wearing mask! You going to take a girl out in one? No sir, cant do it!Quote:

this is not what i am talking about. i am talking about someone using your pic for a malicious purpose, or someone posting it on a weird personals board to phish, or some bad cop lurking on this site using it for whatever, who the fuck knows. i am not talking about some dude pretending to be you and trying to pick up a TS in a club.Quote:

With all the ass kissing that goes on here, at least there are a few of us who come out with the gloves off, telling things like they are. Plus, here's a little not-so-secret secret...some of the posts on here from 'guys' are actually from TS. How do you think I found this board?
It would be just as easy for a guy to email his pic to his favorite TS - getting the contact info from this site is a piece of cake.
Some girls think it's great that you post your pic; others wouldn't want to hang with a guy who posts his pic on a TS board. Trust that. There are different POVs, and I was just trying to help out with advice.
Malicious purpose? Message board to phish, whatever. IP address holds helluva lot more weight than a photo. Bad cop? What, exort me to expose to the world I like TSs? Its not on my shirt everyday, but when 2 out of my last few bf/gf TS relationships were with girls who are in movies and on XXX websites, then I think its easy to figure out. Please, I dont see any example where it would make since to come here, and also where it would seriously hurt me.
And I cant repsect that you said being anonymous makes you honest. LOL, its called "the skillet calling the kettle black". People throwing rocks with glass houses. So you want to be in a position where you can talk shit, but people cant talk shit back to you? LOL, Ive been pretty much self raised when it comes to morals, society, and I would never in my life take pride in that behavior!
ANd some girls might think its bad I posted my pic? LOL, this thread started because I felt bad for people ragging on the other guy in the other thread. He was apologized to yea, but dont get my intentions mixed up where you think this is my dating thread! I posted a picture and thats it, never talked about my cock size, what I drive, the part of town I live in, my sexual interest, none of that. Anyways, boo hoo. There is a girl who would think im unattractive because I posted a pic online. Do I care? Hell no.
I can make a list of my favorite girls in the industry, some who will never be online, etc. Girls who I have serious crushes on. You can take that list and tell me that each and every one of those girls despise me. my response would be "So what"? I can care less, but Im always going to be me and will never change me to hook up with a person. Im supposed to feel lame? LOL, I meet probally 8 times more girls in person than online walking down the streets of ATL and talking to them and getting a number like an average person. I can care less what someone thinks of a picture.
ANd I have no idea what you are talking about when girls are using dudes SNs on here. So whats the point?
