I totally agree with II's comments about posting pictures as it adds some depth to the forum without which it would be all talk, so the variety created by pics is very cool. Everyone likes and respects the hard work and commitment to have a good physique and sharing is what makes the community "real". There's so much more to bodybuilding and for many people the proof is in the pudding and a picture is worth a 1000 words, especially when it comes to/from people who exchange advice and to try to motivate others.
I dont however think a picture of self is necessarily required to differentiate credible posts and information from bs. How so? Well, this forum has many well informed and experienced members who can smell a fake like a fart in a car. Unless someone pm's you, all posts are public and can be vetted by the community as being good information or crap.
Also, everyone is here for different reasons. There are some members who never post anything. They simply read and browse and follow what fancies them. Some dont have the courage to post anything or their question has been answered my someone else in the thread. Who knows what motivates the "silent types". (pun intended!! hahahaha
I have a supps company, not that I resell (but I have my own brand that I manufacture) so I love talking about supplements, nutrition and chatting to like minded people to learn about their experiences. I research certain comments and think about ideas to give my clients better value for money in my product formulations. Is posting a pic going to improve the quality of my experience or contribution on the forum? No.
So yeah, its different for everyone and I really enjoy looking at the pics as well, to keep me motivated with my recreational bodybuilding goals but also to appreciate the efforts of people across the world who enjoy health and fitness as much as I do. Will I post a pic in the future, most likely yes - if my wife allows it
and when I do it will be for the reasons that make it necessary at that time.
Cheers,
