Default Re: Zero my hero???

I appreciate the perspective.

I see what you are saying, but not everyone posts pics - or they post only pics of their head and shoulders. We've been suprised on some of those when they look average size (as far as we can tell) in the pic, but still list a "0" as weight.

I think the point is the assumption when I see "0" is probably worse than the reality they are avoiding putting out there. I think it tends to work against the person who does it.

That said - I can certainly understand using it as a "weed out" tool. It is a good one. If you have pictures that leave no question as to what you look like, then there is no reason to put a weight. But, for the sake of arguement, if you put a full body picture up, and people are attracted to it - is the number really going to matter? If not - why not just put it up?

Just asking - since the board is slow mostly.

I do respect your reasons for doing so. I just felt like it would make an interesting conversation to post the (unintended?) message that a "0" sends to people.
