Do you judge people based on their profile picture?

I have often wondered if I should upload a selfie for my profile here but I fear judgement and enjoy staying private sometimes. I don't pay much mind to other people's pictures usually but wonder how much impact it has on someone deciding to message or add that person.

For the most part, no. Some people have pictures that makes some kind of statement, political or otherwise. Those I might choose to not interact with because of that. But if they've chosen a picture of themselves then I generally don't judge from that; at the end of the day I'm interested in their character, not their looks.

I do know some people don't trust people without a picture, and some even say they don't trust people who don't use a picture of themselves. However, posting one take away a bit of that privacy. Might also make you draw more attention from the horndogs on this site.

There will always be some who judge, but most decent folks here won't.

So I guess you have to weigh the pros and cons there.
