Newbie: A person on Fubar who has recently joined
Lately, I've picked up on a disturbing trend amongst newbies on this site. Particularly amongst the males, but women do it too. That trend is to post a picture which would normally be classed as an NSFW photo, to try to use as a profile picture. Fubar, of course, flags these as NSFW (as they should), and the result is that the default image remains a blank person with a Fubar logo. Usually the photos posted by the newbie are pictures of their (or others') genitalia. What happens then is, someone like me is scrolling through on our phones, looking to find people to talk to. We click on the picture, open up the default album...and are immediately greeted with the aforementioned photo of someone's genitalia.
That newbie, unbeknownst to them, is setting him/herself up for failure. Because I know very few people who made a good first impression by posting their junk online.
Want to make a good impression on me? Show me that you're confident about how your FACE looks. Better yet, fill in your profile with good information. Tell me who you are, what your interests are. Maybe post an album full of photos SHOWING me what you are interested in. For example, I love weather. If you're a fellow weather nerd, a beautiful picture of some distant cumulus or of the snow outside your back window will be a hell of a lot more interesting than what you're packing down below. Maybe you like cars. Maybe you're a total nerd and like things like computer games. I wanna know THAT.
Newbies, you can do better than this. I know you can. Prove it.
