Eyes, lips, and beards

It's not really that difficult, skidude stole photos of a man that would like to remain anonymous, he's not happy with his photos being on a sex site and has asked for them to not be shown for exposure.

I hate to be the one to say it, but I’m gonna. No surprise there, at all. It’s unfortunate he likely manipulated many women with those photos.
 
It's not insensitive or unfounded at all. You may have taken it the wrong way, but the way it was intended was that, should someone be able to be heavily manipulated simply due to some photos of a good looking person, their values probably aren't the greatest, and that's the truth. If you truly fall for someone, that person's aesthetics are likely a very low percentage of the reason you fell.

I'm not saying that couldn't have been part of a greater manipulative experience by him pretending to be someone he's not and being a full on catfish, and sadly that happens, and doesnt indicate weak values or character, but if all it takes is pictures, then the person is shallow, plain and simple. I don't mean it insultingly, just matter-of-factly.

Sorry mate, but either way how you interpret your initial post and this one as well, it doesn't come across very accurate, or friendly.

It wasn't intended to be hostile in the slightest. I guess I just don't have the biggest pool of compassion when it comes to those that are shallow.

You don’t understand the situation as a new member. He had a strong presence here and was very friendly to everyone. People who trusted him based it on more than just his photos. The thing you have to understand is, sharing photos of yourself is a way of being vulnerable and invites people into your world. It’s not about those people being shallow, it’s about them feeling like they could reciprocate.
 
There is a difference between only being attracted to someone’s looks, and being initially drawn in by their appearance. In threads we share photos. Sometimes thats our initial interaction with someone, looking at their body and face. We are drawn in by our eyes. That doesn’t mean that’s our only attraction to someone. It’s just what starts it. And who says he only pulled people in with his photos ? He did actually interact with people. Once you’re hooked on someone they become all the more attractive in your eyes. No matter if you fall for someone as a person and for their personality you still make a connection to the photos in the fact that is the face of the one you think you know.

Ive been around for a while under various names, and I saw him multiple times.

And I get what you're saying, and I agree with you. My comment was directed specifically to a situation where someone only spoke to him or started a friendship or whatever, based on photos.

Things like that happen all the time, and my statements are specific to a scenario as such, and do not include any other variables such as personality.

Once again, I agree with this statement as well. My initial reply was strictly to manipulation based purely on photos. Emotional manipulation is a very real and very powerful thing.
 
Pretty sure no one ever got attached to any of my photos...
must mean they were 100% real...
:p

My point was once you are emotionally attached you still make an attachment to the photos because they put a face to who you are attached to.

Yup, I understood your point initially and I agree with it. All these things together make it not just about the photos. I am speaking in literal terms if it was purely based on photos and nothing else, as in no emotional attachment at all. Lilith's comment only mentioned the photos and my initial reply was intended as a reply to manipulation occuring only with photos and nothing else.

I apologize for coming off the wrong way. Wasn't intended, and its too early for my to use up all my asshole moments for the day.
