Choosing Face Picture as your Profile Picture: A Safety Concern

You want everyone to see how beautiful you are and so you use your face picture as your profile picture on 7Cups. 

But it is worth considering: Do you really need to have a pretty picture and your gender in your profile, and say you will listen to anything? Wouldn't you rather know that those things weren't why you were contacted?  

Sometimes people join us here and they are bullies or unkind people and they like to target those that are new or inexperienced.

They will look at the picture and maybe even actively seek out people to target.

Choosing an anonymous picture can help to limit the possibility of this happening.

Instead of a young blonde female they see a picture of a daisy or a cat.

Instead of an attractive male they see a picture of a wolf.

Sadly, a lot of people that are new to 7Cups have problems caused by their profile pictures, that could easily be avoided.

But I want to show how attractive I am, lots of other people show their faces why shouldn't I?

You can, of course! In fact, a lot of 7Cups guidelines appear to encourage the use of a face picture! However, please bear in mind all the points we made above.
