> Anyone else find Dr Bob's pinkish pic disturbing? I feel bad enough about myself. Looks like he is mocking me or sneering at me. Telling me, hey weirdo, welcome to the funhouse.Just a thought
When I first discovered this site, I was really turned off by the picture also. It was a different picture then but similar in that the image was distorted. It's like when you take too close up a picture of a face and the camera distorts it. That did give me the creeps. It gave me the impression that this wasn't a very professional site. (I couldn't have been more wrong on that one!) I've always wondered why Dr. Bob didn't get a professional picture taken. I think it would be money well spent.Since my first impression was that this was some kind of strange or cultish type of site, I didn't stay long after my search led me here. Eventually, months later, after my searches brought me back here again and again, I spent more time reading the posts and was then able to get past my initial impression of the site based on the picture.
I recently suggested this site to a friend and he told me that he was turned off by his first superficial viewing of it - though he didn't specifically mention the picture. To my knowledge, he hasn't returned here though I have told him a few times that he would find it helpful if he could get past his first impression.
