I know what you mean, mate.
I'm actually a twenty-year-old supermodel with the body of a ballet dancer and tits like coconuts.
I just like pretending to be a dirty old man.
I'm changing my avatar . . .
If you read my stuff, please comment. I like to get honest feedback.
i just find it easy to mark which ones are me and which arent. its that easy. i also mostly crop my photos and if your lucky enough to have me on fb or then you see the whole picture. but those are far and few between for safety reasons. Sorry. But stealing pics and claiming they are you, if your male or female is wrong in my opinion. but this is lush not dating site....so anything is possible and should be expected!
my newest :)
i wonder how many WOMEN on lush want to trade pics? .. it is sooo NOT a common occurrence in my experience ...
i met 3 in my first few months here .. and they wanted pics of me... in exchange.. have met none in the last year ...
how many want pics of men doing their .. whatever?
i am soooo with cas [adele] on this...
perhaps it is men pretending?...
but that, really, is being unfair to men.. most men that pretend .. well they pretend to be women..
if any of my gay men friends read this .. well, know i mean no offence..
I'm not the hottest guy , by any stretch of any ones imagination. But I am who I am. I don't pretend to be someone else or do I want to look like someone else. To do that is to say that you are less than.
A warning for all men. If you do this then you lead yourself with a false sense of self esteem. Believe it or not.
Never want or pretend to be anyone but yourself.
Let people like you for who you are not for a picture of someone else.
If your not careful you could lose sight of who you really are.
Now the warning has been sent to those who really need it. Not to those of us who already know better.
anybody that knows me also knows that the avatar isn't me. i just chose it because i loved the picture. with that being said, if someone actually thinks it is me or i'm trying to insinuate that it is me, then they haven't taken time to get to know me. i guess i will add a disclaimer to my profile stating it isn't me but, to be honest, if someone is wanting to get to know me just because of what my avatar looks like then it is probably someone i wouldn't care to know anyway.
Note........I shaved my beard off a few years ago !
My Karma just ran over your Dogma
Lmao xD
Oh well <<that's my butt. I think I'm fat and I don't have a pretty face, but I upload my pics anyway.
It's a free country. If you want to have fun with a google/tumblr person. Do it!!! Have fun!!! xD
I once had a guy pretend to be Channing Tatum, using one of his older pictures.
Some people post real pics and they prove it by doing face chats or meeting up. Some use google images. It's the internet. You can tell those "sexy" "seductive" photos of girls that are public are fake right away. I have my personal photos private for only a few eyes. None are revealing at all.
but yes this is the internet, please get use to seeing fakes. Just don't get attached and check out profiles.
Also don't pretend to be channing tatum
Unfortunately too many Lushites take things way too seriously here, especially the newbies. Many treat this site as a dating site with plans to meet someone for recreational activities or even marriage, while others are just sitting there half naked looking for a good orgasm.
I do have a cartoony profile, but I have real pictures of myself and my wife with her permission for my friends only. I am for real myself and told the truth in my own profile. I've watched the chats nearly daily and it is a reality soap opera. Some made me laugh while others leave me shaking my head. People are so outgoing in their own mentality when they believe they are anonymously hidden.
I doubt they are fooling themselves or others. They are in a fantasy world, in denial to an certain extent. It only shows what the human mind is capable of.
With that in mind, I have found some genuine people that I am friends with. It is true people will give themselves away in their chats after a while. A minister friend have said in his sermons, "Give the devil enough rope, and he will hang himself."
So we shall see, with everyone who comes through this site.
Having been here long enough to remember what this place was like before we had our own profiles, I think I have a different take on this. We can say that the name is still Lush Stories, but in truth, there is now just as much emphasising (and greater bandwidth) on the social networking side of things too. If it was truly just about the stories, why would we give profiles to non authors?
And once we start down the social networking road, it's inevitable that emotional connections are going to be made. Its human nature to feel connections with the people you talk to regularly. Unfortunately here, and elsewhere on the internet, people are not always who they say they are. I've been fooled twice, by longstanding "friends" who turned out not to be real. I know others on this thread who have dealt with the same thing. It can be devastating when it happens. But I also know people here who regularly create new characters here to keep it exciting. I don't understand why, but it's a fact of life here. It's why my friends list is small now. I may "friend" you here for a little while, but I don't let you in unless you can show me something outside of lush.
So while it may not be something the administration wants pointed out, I don't think it hurts to remind people of both sexes that what you might consider a burgeoning romance or even just a deep friendship, could be someone else's way of having a little fun and seeing what they can get away with.
