Guys
Hey I know this may sound stupid but why is it that guys don't usually put their photos on their advice column?
Maybe the guys can answer this?

Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Advicenators?
I put mine up usually, sometimes I put a different picture up that isn't me just for a change.

I never noticed that it was a guy thing. I'm a girl, and I don't put my photo on my column. My cat, yes, but he's an exhibitionist. For me, it's just because advicenators is a little too public when it comes to photos. I have my pictures on my facebook, where I can friends-lock them, but I don't like the idea of just anybody saving a picture of me and using it for...whatever they want. I imagine it's the same for any guys who don't post their picture.

Well, I am not 100% sure. I also don't want to speak for all the guys, but for myself at least...
1. I'm a little hesitant to put up a picture of myself on the internet. I'm actually somehwat surprised that many minors do this.
2. I'm perennially lazy. Being that I dont have any photos of myself digitized, and I suck at taking pictures, I haven't bothered to go to all the trouble of actually getting pictures I could post (for here, or anywhere)
3. My friends have been trying to get me to start a Myspace for some time, and I guess I dont see the point. I have enough RL friends, and though I'm not against making friends through the internet, I guess I don't have any desire to 'pimp' myself out so to speak. Ditto with hooking up online, and all that. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned.
4. Did I mention lazy?
5. I could post fake pics, and no one would know - unless it was a photo of someone obviously famous. So I guess the allure of posting a 'real' photo of myself loses something in translation somewhere, in my thinking, sionce no one would know anyways...
Mostly though, ignoring most of the above odd thoughts, I simply don't have a decent photo that is ready-to-go, that I can throw on my photobucket acct and link. And jumping through hoops to get one just isn't high on my priority list, I suppose. /shrug Someday I'll have some pics, and perhaps then I'll post one or more, on the many places I frequent. I'm just not in a hurry I guess.
