VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - What's Facebook without your face? It seems many people don't want photos of themselves on the site.

According to a OnePoll survey, millions feel too fat, old or ugly for the social networking site.  Half of people avoid uploading pictures of themselves at an event if they feel they were having a "fat day".

Fourteen percent of women un-tag themselves from every image posted by friends and almost just as many avoid being photographed at all, in case the Manypicture ends up online.  One in ten don't even use themselves for their Facebook profile pic - opting for pets, cartoons or even other people.

 You can now find News1130 on Facebook - and there are even some pictures of staff there.
