It's not like I go into fits of self-deprication if someone says "nice pic" to me. I just kinda sigh and go "Oh...another one of those comments" lol.

I'm not saying this to pick on you, but people are kind of darned if they do and darned if they don't, then. If someone compliments one of your pics, you negate the compliment. If they say nice pic, you assume they're being superficial and insincere (at least that's how I'm reading your little vent about "nice pics" comments) and if they don't comment at all - then what?

I get very few comments on pics that I post. I just assume that my beauty is so stunning that people are left speechless.




Ok - not really, but honestly...people either feel led to comment or they don't...and as long as they aren't telling me I look like a hideous beast, I'm just happy they acknowledged my pics. I'm concentrating on the positive (as some very wise woman mentioned in another thread ).

I have an excellent pic to share but how do I do so? Do I have to upload it somewhere else on the net and then link to it?

I upload pics to my photobucket.com account and use the links from there to post photos.

That's what I was a little afraid of. It's been really nice to see all of the comments to my pic, even if it's "nice pic" or whatever. It's not that I expect (or want) everyone to tell me I'm some raving beauty, but I didn't want to feel the pic was dismissed either. That makes me a bit of a hypocrite, though, because I rarely comment on people's pics here. I have commented on a sepia tone pic of Inka's and Puffca's ancient Chinese city/village pic--but I don't feel comfortable commenting on people's looks (even positively), partly because I don't want to make others feel bad if I don't praise their looks.

I don't care if people don't comment at all. I don't expect everyone to think I'm pretty; not even close! And I don't assume the "nice pic" people are automatically insincere, I just wonder why they can't think of anything a little more solid to say, and I know for certain that some people do use the "nice" word when they don't think someone is attractive, but they feel the need to say something rather than nothing. It's not a big deal and it's not as if I get upset or hurt; I don't. I thought I explained that pretty well in my last post, but maybe not. It's a minor annoyance, nothing more!

I thought I posted a pic here, but now I can't find it.

Your profile pic is already all kinds of hawtness. I'm not sure I could handle more.

You are very pretty.

I dunno. For me, some days I feel like commenting...some days I don't. There's a lot of people I don't comment on...I guess I should make a habit of saying something.


Pretty scenery up there ^.

Nope - didn't say it was. I'm sure Inkabink will be happy about it.

Aww thanks - I swear I wasn't fishing for compliments.

I try to be an equal opportunity commenter...but honestly, if they aren't someone that I interact with in other threads, I'm less likely to comment here.

Who is Lady Gaga?

Your wish is my marching orders! Who is Lady Gaga? She... er... kinda burst out of nowhere as a pop queen this year. Don't know much about her, not being one for popular music, but I do know she got kicked out of Catholic school back in the day.

 

[Inkachu]

She's a glam rock chick who's a former druggie and go-go dancer. Yeehaw.

Classy, right?

It is probably just a feedback loop. People feel like they have to say something because it is the social thing to do in conversation, and encourages further conversation.

Me personally, I feel wierd getting compliments on my looks, especially by men...think I am brainwashed by a past love never saying it to me, and now when I hear it, I don't know how to react or what to say!! Also, I think I have been objectified (spelling??) and harassed by men verbally too much in the past, and feel like if it is coming from a man, they may be thinking dirty thoughts. It's a shame I have to think that way!!
