Fakes & Filters 💜

Why do some people use fake, glamourised pics from the internet?

If you’re going to post your pic here, at least make sure it is YOU

Otherwise just don’t post it, because fakery always comes out in the end 😉😊

BTW - JUST LOVING THE DOWNVOTES, PROVES THIS POST IS HITTING HOME 😁

It's not a filter, it's just the lighting which makes me look 30 years younger ....honest.🤭

@FreeSpirit1 You look great without.👍🙂
Viper · M
@FreeSpirit1 you should get that shirt lol 😂
SW-User
@FreeSpirit1 Finally posted the real you! 😁😁🤣👍👍

@BloviatingBuffoon Really, why?

@BloviatingBuffoon so beautiful!

I am a real mountain!


Mount Shuksan
JoyfulSilence · 51-55, M
@BalmyNites I have never seen it in person though. I just found it long ago on the web for my EP avatar. I had no clue what mountain it was until a few years later.
BalmyNites · F
@JoyfulSilence Where is it babe?
JoyfulSilence · 51-55, M
@BalmyNites

Mt. Shuksan is in northern Washington state, near Canada:

It took hours to edit myself to look this unattractive. It's a defense mechanism. I call it the birth control filter.
Notanymore · 41-45, M
@BalmyNites Haha......sorry....that song is my spirit animal
BalmyNites · F
@Notanymore Good for you babe, you’re a real & funny guy 🤗
Notanymore · 41-45, M
@BalmyNites thank you very much. That's a flattering and very true assessment.

Mines legit 🤙

@Teggy I’ve never seen a neck so…. unkissable. 😖
PhaqueYou · M
No, I'm not jeopardizing myself or my family in any way.

Too many predators.


And why is it soooo important to know?

What you looking for?

No, fakers? I call it common sense.

God knows what some have on their minds or agenda here.


First case and point to protection is never give out. ANY relevant info.
BalmyNites · F
@PhaqueYou Note the wording of the post: IF you’re going to post your pic here

There’s nothing wrong with what you say about predators/remaining safe etc - however it’s a totally different thing to deliberately mislead people into believing that you are a different persona - it’s called CATFISHING

It’s better to not post pics at all, than to pretend you are someone else 😊
PhaqueYou · M
@BalmyNites very concerning...

🤔

I believe no one should post original articles pertaining to their identity.
BalmyNites · F
@PhaqueYou Yes I must admit, you are very concerning 😁
Adogslife · 61-69, M
I was a liar. I took down my longstanding avatar because it garnered too many friends. Apparently how I identified simply didn’t matter once the truth came out. I’m very thankful for my remaining friends.

BalmyNites · F
@Adogslife Ahh I love dogs lol & you are always welcome to cuddles 🤗🤗🤗

it's the ones who post here expecting us to believe that their eyes are the size of saucers and their nose and chin are just tiny points lol
BalmyNites · F
@KuroNeko And their boobs are an extra few cup sizes, too 😁

@SW-User Lol I hope you can still see the telly, girl 🤣🤣🤣
FoolishLuna · 56-60, F
Why does it matter? Not trying to be controversial but some people want the internet to be an escape. If they are funny and engaging let them have their ears and tails and stars shooting out of their ears🤷‍♀️
BalmyNites · F
@FoolishLuna Not at all, it’s my true & honest opinion 😊

‘Giggles and distraction” don’t come into the equation where morals & telling lies are concerned, I’m afraid - as agreed by the other 29 people who have liked this post

One good piece of advice is, never assume 😉

Good luck to you, too!
FoolishLuna · 56-60, F
@BalmyNites yes careful with assume ….😉
BalmyNites · F
@FoolishLuna You might like to comment using your other persona now 😉

@Spokeskitties75 Gorgeous baby 😽😽😽
Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M
So I guess I should stop posting my high school pic with hair? 🤔😄

I know exactly what you mean though - sometimes pics are so filtered it’s like - why bother?
BalmyNites · F
@PhaqueYou NO, YOU MISS THE POINT

This post is talking about people who deliberately glamourise themselves

Kindly take your pious pretentiousness elsewhere
Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M
@BalmyNites
Oh I’m sorry - I didn’t recognize you without your filters on

🤣🤣
BalmyNites · F
@Ambroseguy80 🤣🤣🤣

Ain’t that the truth lol

People getting all offended being called out for fakery
GunFinger · F
Tell me I'm not glamorous.

@GunFinger
Ingwe · F
TY for thinking I look glamorous

and I was wearing my pajamas
Classified · M
I don't mind it much if people do that with filters. If I like the picture, then I give them a compliment. I just hope they're doing it for fun or imagination and not because they feel insecure about their unfiltered looks because of the standards the world puts on people.
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
I honestly don't do that, I mean I've tried everything and the real me just looks so much better🤭
SW-User
This one is one of the best posts, so many different replies
BalmyNites · F
@SW-User Thank you my sweet darlin’ 🤗😘
Ok you got me I'm not really a horse...

*goes straight to his room*
@BalmyNites Yup, I'm really a business executive...with a downtown penthouse office..


Mind you it's a bit of a challenge getting in and out of the elevator!
BalmyNites · F
@Majorlatency This chestnut must surely be a mare, or don’t you know? 😍
@BalmyNites Of course! But I had the operation.. It's amazing what they can do nowadays..
SW-User
But you mean the ones that are fake pics from the internet and filtered as well?
Some use filters but it's them still.
I like more the black and white.. Sepia kind of filters
BalmyNites · F
@SW-User Some are not always so obvious though, they are quite sly in how the act online

Also, some people aren’t able to spot the fakery either & they get deceived
SW-User
@BalmyNites I agree... There was a girl here that was kind of average looking that was stealing pics from someone else to make it seem more "credibly " ... It's very fake and sad.
BalmyNites · F
@SW-User I’m afraid it’s more prevalent than we can even begin to imagine

It’s a sad thing that we all come here to interact with one another for our own different reasons, so it would be nice to think that people would have compassion & be real (as far as is possible online) with everyone else 💜

As you don’t like this post, I will also remove your comments

Your statement inferring that the practice of posting fake pics/catfishing & generally being deceptive online is “doing no harm to others” is incredibly naive & short-sighted
Synyster · 51-55, M
I can't be fake, because I'm
some kind of abstraction—but there is no real me; only an entity, something illusory.
🤣

But there's a lot of people who filter their pics on here, it's not the real them.
Synyster · 51-55, M

@Synyster That sounds intriguing my friend 😁😘🤗

Pretty much all the pictures in my photo albums where either taken by me or a family member or friend.

Can't think of one that isn't.
Every picture i have posted of myself is me, no fakes and no filters...sorry about your luck LOL
BalmyNites · F
@istillhaveanameitsrick That’s great, just be yourself because if you don’t love & accept yourself no one else can or will 🤗
@BalmyNites That is what they say, i can always hope that it is not completely true because there isn't much about me that i am happy about LOL
Viper · M
Yes, why can't you all just take and use a selfie just like me! Here is my selfie!

BalmyNites · F
@Viper Beautiful- & obviously not an attempt to deceive others 😊

Ok, I'm come clean.... I'm neither Jimmy Edwards, the British comic actor, nor am I

BalmyNites · F
@Mellowgirl So you won’t be using a pic of Marilyn Monroe then? 😉

@BalmyNites That's right!!!

I like to show my alter ego. I don't want to look at my ugly mug all the dang time.

@BalmyNites no it's not!! People are asses.
SW-User
@BalmyNites I'll always know who you are. You are true of heart and soul. You have always been a wonderful friend to me. I keep that close!! 💜💙💜
BalmyNites · F
@SW-User Thank you very much, you’ve been a good friend too 💜💜💜
It’s about time I update my profile pic.... thug life 4 life 😅
I honestly try not to judge people’s appearance but that dude looks like Yoda the real life version lol@BalmyNites
BalmyNites · F
@GBPackersFan Ahhh, I will never be able to ‘unsee’ that now 😂😂
Adogslife · 61-69, M
@GBPackersFan I thought he looked like Eminem coming out of chemo. 🙄
@BalmyNites im....I'm offended
BalmyNites · F
@NightsWatch Congratulations
@BalmyNites and I thought we were friends
FreestyleArt · 36-40, M
This picture is not me...he just matches my username XD
olibird · 26-30, F
I do use filters sometimes
TheArbitrator · 36-40, M
Because we can't All be beautiful like you.
BalmyNites · F
@TheArbitrator Thank you (if you’re not being sarcastic) but being beautiful is not the point here

What I’m talking about is, be real - don’t pretend that you are someone else 💜
TheArbitrator · 36-40, M
@BalmyNites Totally agree. Everyone should be happy with who they are. We are all uniquely and wonderfully made by the creator. Plus, it's just wrong imo to steal someone else's identify.
BalmyNites · F
@TheArbitrator Absolutely spot-on

Plus we none of us are perfect, either - we all have bits we don’t like 🤗
SW-User
I never understand it either, they must be very ugly people who are very insecure🙄😂
BalmyNites · F
@SW-User Ugly, beautiful, anything in between is irrelevant babe

What matters is, just don’t post FAKE - if they’re not happy to put up their pics, then don’t put up fake pics pretending to be them 😊
Notanymore · 41-45, M
