It's Kind of Funny

Well, not to say there aren't any nice ladies on chess.com, but some of the guys have got to get a clue, and think logically!  For example, the other day I saw a member with an obvious picture of Uma Thurman as her avatar (? maybe it's a female member, maybe not!...or it might be a guy who likes Uma), with lots of people telling the person THEY were beautiful.  I like Uma too, but not enough to tell someone THEY are beautiful for using Uma's picture!  

Remember, a picture is just a picture, and anyone can put whatever the heck they want for "their" avatar.  Maybe tomorrow as an experiment I will make myself over as a hot bikini chick to see how many comments I get  (just kidding, but think about it).

Heck, I saw one member who was obviously a guy by their name, with a pic of him and his gal, and people were commenting on how beautiful he was (maybe some of our international friends don't recognize a male's name in English, who knows, and thought it was a female member with her boyfriend).

My point?  Nothing huge, I just think it's kind of funny how some guys don't even realize when they are reacting to an unknown (or in Uma's case, certainly a known) picture....but if it's on the Internet, it must be true, I forgot!

Kind of like the wasps that mate with orchids that mimic a female wasp. 

I had a handle on another site that sounded sort of female and guys would send me messages assuming I was female (even without a picture). A couple of them asked how old I was, which sounded kind of creepy, like they were trolling for young gitls. I would either tell them I was male or simply tell them my age and they didn't bother me again.
