Me too. A picture is the equivalent to coming up close and staring the person in the face, without the creepy part. Those who don’t look into the face women they are conversing with would choose not to have a picture in a paper placating to them. Instead of having to focus away and be conscious and on the lookout, they finally have something they can comfortably read without all that.
If it were up to me, I’d be Mechaleq between a picture of one person and of many, which is not like looking the person in the face.
