Some people even use their much hotter friends' pics as themselves.



Look, I Said I was sorry I "borrowed" your picture.

O K... So I am pretty sure people seem to not be able to read what is wriiten on the home page of Lush, as there is this little quote "Lushstories.com is a free sex stories adult community site where you can publish, read and comment on erotic stories."

Did I miss something?
So where is the Lush dating/swingers tab? lmao
Are some of the ladies on here looking for a little male company?

As for your warning to the desperate and dateless... Or maybe the man in the mirror,
As in all situations real or online, If it seems too good to be true - it is.

The internet is full of these people. Here and on dating sites. People have all sorts of reasons not to use a personal photo.

Go down to your hardware store, buy some timber, a few nails, and a hammer. if you're really keen grab some paint too.
Go home and build a bridge. Then get over it.

Let the insults return.

Wait a sec. The AV of Dudealicious really is Dudealicious. I've seen that sweep across hairdo in his other pics. I mistakenly thought it was a seagull flying at his head but he kindly informed me it was a windy day.

If my AV was really me, I'd be sitting on a huge snowbank with blue lips and the perkiest nipples imaginable, cause it's fucking frigid here. But I never use my real pics as my AV. I just don't want or need that kind of attention from anyone that might actually know who I am. You have to be my friend (or those creepy stalking mods) to see my personal gallery of what I really look like.

I usually resort back to the infamous words of the imaginary Dr House when dealing with anyone or anything on the internet. Everybody lies. Intentionally or unintentionally, it happens.

I agree, if it's not you and you try to hide it then you have placed yourself in a fantasy that's more attractive (whatever that means to you) than reality. Don't expect anyone to appreciate it when it's discovered.

If you tell up front, who cares? Guys using girls pics, girls using guys, whatever. If you hide it you'll eventually be caught.

If that's the case, why do you feel so bad about what you are? I don't really worry about the "Packaging" as long as what's inside is real. Be who you are and accept it. If "Whoever" doesn't like it, screw them, they are shallow and not worth it. Move on.

I am not talking about "I'd rather she or he was ???" I don't like some things either. I will never eat pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, acorn squash, etc., the high vitamin A content ones, because they taste foul to me, but others love it. I don't think less of them, it's just a preference.

If that's all I had to eat and was starving to death I'd have a very real problem on my hands because I REALLY don't like them.

This is about the same thing. We all have different preferences and I've learned, the hard way, to just accept and move on. If you read mine I just tell it all and let you decide. If you like it, great, if you don't, thanks for looking and I hope you find what you need.

Just be what you are, you've been working on it for a while.

Stay safe

As for why am I only talking about women and only warning men? Simple, I am straight, so my experience in that matter is only limited with women; and I have no idea how it is like with men here, so how am I gonna warn women about something I never experienced or know about?

There's no need to accuse me of sexism.

Quote:
You are only assuming one possibility why they might be using fake pics, I agree in this case it's totally harmless, but what if their goal is to gather pics/videos from guys in their horny moments?

**Again, we (women) can go to at least 50% of the male profiles on this site and find pics of their ''pride and joy''. And just like pics of female pussies and clits, there is no shortage of these pics to be found on the internet, for free, and without the need to stroke some guys ''ego'' to get them.**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You seem to have an issue with women in general as evidenced by your actions in the chat rooms. I even wonder what sort of guy is upset by getting a hug from an av that looks like mine (and no it isn't me as I clearly state in my profile). Most guys beg me for a hug.... or more.

But anyway if u think that anymore than say 10% (and that's a high estimate imho) of the ladies fotos on here are THEM ... you need a lesson in what the worldwide web is, and the internet.

Agree here 100%. I have a business. But also a personal life. Don't want one getting mixed up with the other, or it could cause embarrassment! So all my info is private as well. For those able to have their real pics as their AV, really envy that freedom. smile

Yes. This seems to me like a pretty ridiculous thread. Kind of seems like it goes without saying. I generally suspect that people don't use their real photos, and if they do, I don't expect anything more from them, so it really doesn't matter if they look like what they say they do. As for the reasons somebody might do that, they could have self-esteem or body-image issues, severe social anxiety which the anonymity of Lush is helpful with, or maybe they are a transgender individual who is tired of being told they are not who and what they are.

Since almost nobody on Lush is after a face to face meetup, you're never going to know anyway. Are you also suspicious of profiles that have no pictures, but a description? It's an anonymous erotic fiction site. Some of us have writing careers or professional careers and don't want to have our actual name or photo up for publicity reasons. I say that as though personal privacy isn't enough, since you clearly don't think it is, and have probably misjudged the internet as an entity if you had to learn that lesson the hard way.

That's nothing against you personally, I just hope you won't get so bent out of shape, and enjoy the fantasies that these ladies are offering you without subjecting them to an interrogation or feeling lied to. If they're not giving you strictly factual information, they're telling you a story, and it's a story you wanted to hear. Just sayin'.

I dont have a problem with my avatar which i took off Lush images nor do I have issues with others using like images. What I have a problem with is someone claiming to be married and not or most common married but claiming to be single. or someone my age 67 claiming to be 24 with 6 pack abs.LOL "Friends" i trust have all seen my real pic. Thats how I handle it. If you are on my friends list,and Im picky,then I will send you my real pic because I trust you and so you can have a better image when we chat.

The avatar I use is the American Eagle,something I like because I am an American and patriotic,old Vietnam Vet and believe in GOD and Country. Also the image of the 101st Airborne Div that I have much respect for. Not my unit,but met some of them. I wont just throw my real pic on an adult site for anybody to take and mess with. So I use the avatar I chose from Lush choices.

I know in real life,alot of women on here claim to be "straight" but on here its safe for them to be honest and claim they are "bi-sexual" with no worry. For whatever reason,boyfriend,husband,family whatever,they feel they cant be labeled as Bi in real life.

lol seriously, all this grudge because I said no to your unsolicited hug? Don't you always react the same to unsolicited virtual whispers from guys? Don't you usually tell them "Do you whisper to strangers in the pub?".

Since you are in the "Lush is 100% fantasy" camp then you shouldn't equate virtual fantasy whispers to whispers in a pub. The reason why I refused your hug is to make a point, not because of your av lol.

And before accusing me of something adele, check my friend list, they are all ladies, I dare you to ask them if I ever spoke with them impolitely or showed any sexist attitude toward any of them. It seems to me you are the sexist one who believes that males are creatures who must beg for hugs from you and supposedly to automatically accept unsolicited hugs from anyone; you're simply projecting.

As for the others who are ridiculing me, you are totally free to have a different point of views and state your opinions but refrain from mocking and personal attacks.

I will add my confession as well - my avatar is not me - It came to me from a friend who said it matched my personality and I have no idea where he found it smile
I believe the original topic of this post to be a good reminder for all :) (not just the men)

My avatar it’s not me.. yeah I know.. Duh! . The reason it’s not me is because it doesn’t need to be me. Although Bla, bla …

Anyway, I’m here at an emotional level not at a truly physical one. I’m also not looking to grab anything. This not to say that I could not exchange a real photo of myself with someone that I feel comfortable to do so.

The woman that you may have spoken to might be a housewife/mother/girlfriend that probably needs a little innocent escape from the everyday life, so they cannot show you their real self, even if they would like too. Or they might be a bit different from what they had said a month ago.. like they are red not blonde, hmm. So, you have provided that need, nice for you and them. I don’t feel that LS was ever conceptualized as a human hookup, however it might happen, as it does but the chances are slim.

There are some good sites that do that very well where however a verified registration is required and I would look for those so I would not waste time. Most of the vast wide web has no rules and actually makes its own rules, as for example of the subjective numbers. Metric or Imperial system it doesn’t matter, on the net what’s 5 becomes 7 or 9 or better or 15 or 20+.

What you say it applies also for us men (if you and I are indeed men, Ha Ha). There are many threads regarding this. I remember reading one (if I’m correct) that says that a majority of females here are actually men. This opinion it’s widely shared on the net, like there are hardly any women in cyberspace.

So take it in stride and have fun, read an erotic story, interact as you’re doing and have fun but expect pretense or a limit where I would chat, I would even talk with you but I would/could not progress to a face cam.

Whilst the warning is valid I have to agree with the ladies - it should have been directed at all users.

If for no other reason men are more predatoral than the female of the species.

I can understand them finding it insulting - I also doubt that the original poster intended any offense to the ladies - he's probably just been bitten and is pissed. We've probably all been there.

Some guy that I have never seen or said one word to whispering to me or other women, wanna fuck? or what r u wearing? or I am real horny and wanna stick my giant penis in your pussy or your mouth or your ass (and yes these are all direct quotes) is SOOOOOO different than an innocent hug. And, btw, I never say anything to guys that hug me when they say hi. I do object when they use the lube or slaps ass or one of the other similar actions on their first statement to me. My reply to things like that is to politely ask them to stop whispering, or tell them they don't know me well enough yet for those type of actions. If they persist, I refer them to my profile and/or ignore them. And there was far more to the discussion than you just saying don't hug me (which btw, you never did. just jumped all over me for doing it). Since you seemed intent on arguing with me, I finally just asked you to stop talking to me. And when you commented (to the room but obviously in direct response to something I had just said), I also asked you to not talk about me either.

Just because Lush is mostly a fantasy site, does not preclude common courtesy. In my fantasies at least, I and most of the women here want to be treated with respect, not be jumped on by every guy that walks into a chat room just because we may have a sexy or provocative looking av.

I was also in a room where you told a member after looking at her profile and seeing she was lesbian, you were (not just going to stop talking to her, but) going to block her.

As for personal attacks, isn't that exactly what you did when you started this thread? People are just responding to some of your statements, and stating facts from their point of view, and maybe teasing you a bit because it truly is totally naive to believe most anything you see on a site like this.

I wouldn't stop talking with anyone or block anyone just because their sexuality, there was certainly another reason for that reaction which I don't recall but surely was not because she's lesbian.

And for everyone who is saying "This avatar isn't me"

PLEASE PLEASE! READ the first lines of the topic well:

Note that I am not including anyone who's using the avatar of a celeb/cartoon/symbol without claiming she's the one in the pic, I am talking about people who deliberately put a non-famous internet beautiful woman with a full album of selfie pics of her, yet claiming she is this woman when asked about it, and there are plenty of them here


Anyone with a cell of brain can tell your avatars are not you nor are intended to give that impression, there is a huge difference between those who use a single pro porn/erotic/model pic as avatar (and posting different models/erotic pics in their albums) and those who use a whole set of non-pro pics of one person giving the impression it's her/him.

Is there anything clearer than that?

And just because one feels unattractive, it doesn't justify identity theft and asking guys (or girls, I don't know what the equivalent men ask women to do here) to jerk off on "her" (the girl in the pic) without the permission of the real person, there are a lot who come without pictures at all yet still can get cyber and compliments.

I totally agree....

I will add...this is NOT a dating site.....

If you meet some one great....remember this is just as everyone else has said FANTASY....yes fantasy can turn real, but to expect it is just silly very very silly.

Maybe just maybe the person in the avi and albums, just wants to be that fantasy person and has built a fantasy "reality" to go with it...
