Is it a "no no" to post professional photos online?

I never understood why you have to afraid of reproducing something you paid for and are not reselling.


Sounds like the stuff scams are made out of.

I think most websites as long as you own the rights or it is copyright free image don't care.
I personally on another website have seen the whole gambit of pictures some people using their passport pictures to driver's license.
A glam shot if that is the only one of someone I also tend to shy a way from since I am thinking does he always look like that if so God help me he is not the one for me.
I figured when I posted mine I would just show me kind of like what you see is what you get.
I am still trying to find the rules on posting the avatar's that I see here. I would love to make one up and use it.

You've gotten some good advise here, but my personal opinon is that you post the pics YOU like, what you are comfortable with.

If I guy discounts you because he thinks your pic is fake then it's his lose. Like your words in your profile, your pictures reflect the person that you are...and you get to decide who that person is and what you want to share with others.

Bottom line ~ it's your call. If you really like that pic, go with it! Adding a few candid shots in your profile will take care of the whole thinking it's fake thing anyway.

Most important, just have fun!

I like the professional pic...but the one I now changed it to is more in line with the everyday grungy me. Keep it real right?

I had a couple of other pics on my profile too...but I don't want to "lure" any fellas with the made up version, when I rarely look like that...unless I have hours to get ready for a picture of course.
