What is your gender, age, and marital status?

I thought this would be an interesting topic as things are not always what they appear especially online.  So, I am sure I will get some truthful answers and some not so truthful.  I try to be an honest and truthful person but some of my actions can be misleading and deceptive.  I am a male, 51 years of age, working on my second marrage (19 years).  My profile picture was taken of me 25 years ago when I was single about 25 years old between marrages and in the prime of life.  Born December 01, 1961.  The happiest year of my life was probably 1971 when I was 9 years old.

41, female, (mostly) nonpracticing attorney now building my own business and supplementing with some easy online cash, preteen twins, divorced and still waiting for the right frog to hop past.

I don't use my real pic anywhere online unless it's attached to my actual profession. But no, I don't really look anything like that in real life. Shocker, right?

So if you're actually trying to be an honest and truthful person, why use a picture of yourself that's 25 years old?  I doesn't represent you as you truly are now.  It's pretty simple to take a pic of yourself with a camera phone or a digital point and shoot and post a current avatar.  Just wondering why you chose to do that.  And ask that other people reveal their personal info.

And, no, I have no avatar or personal details here because my prime goal is to earn a bit of cash.  I'm not here looking for an online relationship or even friends since I have very little in common with anyone here other than the goal of making some extra cash.  The kind of personal information you want should be on a need to know basis and there's no need for anyone here to know it.

Yes, I like to paraphrase John Lennon at times...Life's what happens while you're busy making other plans. I'm not comfortable going into a whole lot of detail, but I will say I feel ya there.

Still, I wouldn't change even the hard choices for the world. They make us who we are. And I have to admit, I'm having the time of my life right now building something that's all my own with my own two hands and doing hat I love to do. It's a bit feast and famine, but that's what all that easy money lying around the internet is for....the famine times! AND my kiddos aren't being raised by hired help anymore. No amount of money is worth what they were having to deal with. So all in all, things work out for the best if you just do the work to make it happen.

Five! With that age range, too. And you're still relatively sane?

@nhendrickson, thanks for your reply post!  Your sentiments I think are quite common and more so than not and I am glad you posted as I appreciate your input as I feel it is very valid and contributes to the discussion.  As far as your question of why use a picture that is 25 years old ... Honestly, I use it for branding purposes, it is far better looking then the present but for those that want an actual view of what I look like now at 51 they can go to my youtube channel.  And, where I do use this picture like on my website, I provide a disclaimer.  I started using this picture after being diagnosed with Stage 3A rectal cancer in March 2010.  Given 18 months to live if I did nothing, this is a picture of how I wanted to be remebered.

@goldcatt, John Lennon is awesome!  Quotes, music, etc...
On life, I couldn't agree more with your sentiments ...
On my sanity ... Purely Subjective ... lol

Thanks for the replies!  So far we have both genders posting.  Age range 54-21.  Some are married some divorced.  At age 51, I feel older than what I feel I should so I feel I need to make a conscious effort to be more active and engaged.  To maybe change my eating habits and activities that would be more condusive to providing more energy and zest for living.  It is so easy for me to get in ruts of inactivity and bad habits.  Over the years since high school I have managed to gain over 100lbs.  Two days ago I started a goal to lose 90 pounds taking me to 160lbs.   On adverage I want to lose 1 pound a day for 90 days.  Looking forward to getting to know others better.  Thanks FC for allowing "Off Topic Posts", it makes me feel that FC cares about it's members and keeping them happy and earning.  FC is just one of the best opportunities online today!
