It's hard to read a tone through a screen
I sincerely hope you did not mean any harm and you weren't angry.
I am not offended, I let emotions speak for me and I shouldn't have. I should have apologized and left it at that.
I'm sure you are a very beautiful girl.
And to answer the question you originally posed:
Yes, if you post a picture of yourself you're going to have guys messaging you. If you decide to do this, DO. NOT. MESSAGE. THEM. BACK.
I don't care if you think you are mature enough to not be taken advantage of by some of the guys here but there is a thing called manipulation. It works wonders for some people.
If you dont post a picture of yourself, do something you love.
I used to have a quote up saying something like don't judge me on my past when I'm not that person anymore.
