Why do ppl use hot women as their profile picture when It's not them.

If you just like it - you put it as your avatar (same goes for desktops. If you like what you see you keep it). I don't have any further reasons.

Preposterous. I'm Tinkerbell's goth sister in a 2D drawn form for real, poser.

I have to look at the picture too.. It better be nice to look at!

Yes, no.4 is the reason in 99% of cases (mind you there is a 1% margin of error). But why would it bother you? Unless you are secretly hoping that it's really a sexy gril in there talking to you.

I'm more annoyed by disgusting/disturbing profile pics (and I've seen some sick shit), sexy girls don't bother me at all.

You answered your own question dude. All of the above.

To distract people while you scam them on Steamtrades.

I call it bitchwithin

Why do people use hot men as their profile picture when it's not them?

I am simply asking because it's been on my mind for some time now and obviously I have no clue as to why people do this. So just out of curiosity, why do people do this?. Help me understand this better if you know the answer.

I would understand if a person had a poster of a gorgeous model or some celebrity or someone else in their room but not as a profile pic.

Here's why I think they do this:

A man who's either afraid to show himself or not good looking that wants compliments from other guys/girls.
A gay girl who wants straight girls to talk to her thinking it's a boy.
A girl who just wants to fool (being a troll or just to joke) people thinking it's a hot guy but really it's not.
Someone who just likes a picture of a man so much that they chose to have it as their profile picture.
Number 4 is probably the highest reason as to why people do this but I don't get the point anyway.

Using a photograph of a real person is just WEIRD. Unless it's of yourself.

I have a picture of Jack Nance as my profile pic, but I'm not really him.

Interesting question, but you answered it already :p I guess 4. is usually the reason for them..

Why do ppl use different game characters as their profile picture when It's not them.

Why do ppl use guys as their profile picture when It's not them.

Why do ppl have a cat as their profile picture when It's not them.

etc etc.

Retarded question.

Well ppl do what they want when it comes to upload a picture, don't see the problem here

i don't know maybe they like to look at the picture .. or they love the character or anything

You're thinking way too deeply about this. Most people just like a picture and upload it. I've so many avatars on so many sites - I've lost count.

Because they're nice to look at. End of story.

Cause they have pants down all day.

Why do ppl use smileys holding guns as their profile picture when It's not them.
Why do ppl use TF2 characters as their profile picture when It's not them.
Why do ppl use animals as their profile picture when It's not them.
Why do ppl use cartoons as their profile picture when It's not them.

I have to admit, that I was forced to give my a healthier green in my profile pic, cause my frog day lotion went out.

You don't point play together, or get/use temporary smb else acc.

Cuz Chaika is top sniper Chaika forces, to her you are just another bread.

i only use pictures of me

because we love pussies.

I'm 4 on your list. Rikku here is my favourite female character in the Final Fantasy series.

Gilgamesh (FFV) is best dude.
