Opinions?

Personally, I have a hard time imagining posting my face to a site like this, no matter how much I endorse the site.

For a long time, I was under the impression that the only way you knew someone was real and invested was if they had a face pic attached to their profile. But now, whenever I see a face pic on a profile, I can't help but be surprised by the confidence such a person must have... as well as wonder if it's an indicator that such a profile is less likely to be real.

Then again, odds are that if anyone really wanted to, they could probably find out who anyone on this site is, so maybe there's no real point in hiding your face nowadays, except to delay the inevitable.

Thoughts?

Yeah, I am not going to post pics on sites. With the newer scanning engines your pic can be used to cross reference your accounts by the big 3 especially (Google, Facebook, Microsoft)

I will often give a face pic to someone I have come to trust who asks for it, but not for posting.

I do notice that all the fake accounts seem to feature a picture including a face. Seems they are using that to boost inevitability.

People who dont post pics have something to hide.

Also its fun to see "feeders" or "Fat admirers" claim they have feeding experience, a gf, a wife, etc yet have no pics to prove it.

If you're here to hide from a wife, husband, etc that's fine but some of us want to meet and hang out with people. Getting led on by a fake profile or being ghosted by someone just looking to get their kicks sucks

I do wonder why people are too scared to post a face pic.
They must be embarrassed to be here.
I mean you are an adult that likes fat so own up to it what can they do?
If a friend accidentally found out by seeing a pic of you here then he must be into fat as well or he wouldn't be here in the first place.

You're correct Ditzy.I have never been found out from here or the other sites. And yet I also know who is real or fake regardless of face pics. Lots of fakes on the gaining blogs.

I have been on the site for around 12 years and can safely say I have never been 'found out' here by a friend or family member... However I have had my pictures stolen and posted elsewhere. The pictures that were stolen were of my entire body, not of my face. So I actually don't post body pictures anymore... I just have my face on here as that feels safer to me.

I totally understand that people may not want to show their face here. I don't think it's to do with being embarrassed for liking fat people, but rather being associated with a fetish that a lot of people just really don't understand, and have negative feelings towards. So the potential of being found out, and having to maybe have a discussion about that may be scary for some.

I do think that having to 'come out' about your fetishism and 'come out' about a preference for dating fat people, or being body confident are definitely two different things. While my friends and family know I am happy with myself being big , I haven't ever felt the need to discuss the foodie / feedee side of things with them. Just like I don't feel the need to discuss being a sub with them... it's just not a necessity for them to know this stuff. It is private and not everyone in my life needs to know every single thing about me...

It wouldn't effect my decision to talk to someone on here or not, purely based on whether they had a face picture or not on their profile. But a genuine picture of some kind makes me feel like the person is more real even if there is a head cropped out of the frame.

As for the scammers... They use face pics to seem more real and catch users out... So in my opinion it does seem more real to have a genuine picture and especially real if you have one of your face.

The reality is, this is the Internet. People fake it, people steal pics and people catfish. So you can never realllllly know who is genuine until you video chat or meet up irl... and even then they can still be faking lol.

this. very well said

Personally, I don't worry about a friend finding me here, but I worry about a potential employer doing a face search on google at some point and find it. I don't even know if that is possible, but I can't say it doesn't worry me. And even if it were just about being attracted to heavier people, I could see the stigma potentially affecting unrelated things, no matter how unfair. But for me personally, it's more, as most of the material I have associated with this profile, both here and on DA, is, well, naughty lol. Even if a boss doesn't care about who you're attracted to, it's hard to imagine it wouldn't color their perspective to find out you've been writing fetish porn since you were 12yo, right? hahaha

It boils down to whatever feels comfy for you.
Post it or don't it makes no difference to me.
I understand people have their reasons and its none of my business really.
I didn't show mine often for a good10 years here and one day just posted one because it was a half decent pic.

I may post a face pic one day but I agree that FF doesn't really require an account to go looking through profiles (I think). But the community is kind of small, someone recognizing you on here may not be a bad way to find out you are both into the same thing lol
