There are two definitions of poser, right? [quote][b]1.[/b] A dumbass hypocrite trendwhore conformist asshole who can't think for his/herself. They like anything their friends like, like a band, and usually don't know any songs by that band. [[url=http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=poser&defid=1734756]source[/url]][/quote] And then there's the well-known definition of poser. [quote][b]2.[/b] Someone who steals other people's photos (usually photos of the attractive ones) and claim the identity as their own.[/quote] Personally I find Posers #2 more tolerable. I don't think there's anything wrong in posing as someone else as long as they don't intend to do crimes and make people fall in-love with them. And "they are ashamed of their looks" isn't always the case. I know some who do it out of boredom (they find amusement in building a character around the person they're posing as) and they protect their identity (this usually happens in online gaming). Posers #1 earn a shake of the head and a roll of the eyes from me. These are the type of posers that post pictures of them sitting behind a drum set when they don't even know how to play the basics. They are the type that post status or tweets like, "OMG I want a Janoski!" just because everyone's talking about it. They are the type that mention DOTA 2 all the time to get attention from gamers even though they can't even name at least two heroes. I find them more annoying than Posers #2.
