Now now, Connor. You're just getting frustrated because you don't understand. Kleeof was only complimenting you on your taste in women. He wouldn't mean any harm. Lions need hugs too!! And to celebrate the new year, I want to give everyone here a Lion Hug. Kleeof, Connor, Ellie and Jamie. Everyone get's 'em because they make you feel so good inside. Enjoy!

I can see that you are a goalkeeper, and indeed, you are, TheGoalKeeper. You are not hiding behind anything as well. Which makes me wonder, who is the OP referring to when she asks:

Most people who use fake profile are cheaters in their games! Note that in the former Dodgers list were profiling without photo!
paranoia peeps!

When I was a kid, my favorite character was Tear-a-long, the Dotted Lion.
Before Google, no one would possibly figure out what show he was from.

I often wonder why players on this site use avatars and false profiles. It's easy to tell by the way they talk, that in some profiles they are actually males, pretending to be glamorous females. Why all the deception, and what actually is the point of this behaviour?
Yup

What would Freud make of avatars, that's the real question. By substituting a real photo with an avatar are you actually avoiding recognition? That's a cheeky question to ask, I realize that, but is anyone game to front up to this suggested reason for hiding your true identity?
No no no, Freud said nothing like that. It all goes back to sex.
So hiding your identity means you haven't resolved your mother/father sexual feelings or you wish you had different genitalia or you masturbate too little or too much.
would a bigfoot produce its true identity on chess.com ?

it`s not hiding. It`s keeping privacy and giving the opponent something he can think with. Better than a stupid pawn-avatar. 
You know why?
I made an eBay profile and could not believe that legit sellers hide behind false profiles.
So I made one, myself.
It's "cool", I guess.
Also, you don't wanna see my face, whacked out on drugs, in the hospital bed.
who cares?

Freud related everything to sex and thought cocaine was a miracle cure for pretty much everything. The real question is why anyone in this day and age would put much stock into what he might have thought.
Everybody knows I'm a real lava planet.

Hmmm...perhaps there should be a disclaimer that shows you won't be liable in case some pretty girl out there wants you as her chess boyfriend and asks for pics....and gets offended.
I think we're about to hijack this thread, Kleeof. Is THAT possible?
I don't see much potential in the OP. So, yes, not only possible, but probable.
In just 8 hours, milord. It has happened.
