Has this happened to you? People posing for photos with you.

Sometimes when people buy a new camera they wan't to try it out and get as much practice as possible. This happened to me when I first got my high definition video camera. The quality of the video was so good everybody looked like super models.

That mostly happens to me when I'm at a convention. And even though I don't know a lot of the people there, we're all there because we have common interests so it doesn't feel awkward. It's actually a lot of fun.

I know a couple of guys with severe facial disfigurements - they get this a lot, however although in some cases this is about people wanting to look like they're tolerant of disabled or disfigured people, not everyone is like this. In most cases they are asked to pose in photo's because they're cool people, one also has a hot as hell body which always goes down well with groups of women.

I think unless you, dear OP, have some sort of major facial deformity or are known as some sort of side-show freak (not meaning to sound disrespectful, my point is that I doubt this is the case), I'd not be thinking these people are only doing this to use you to look caring or as some cruel joke. If drunk it may well be a simple case of 'IT'S A PERSON *hick* PHOTO PHOTO PHOTO....YEEEYYYYYYY!! !'

I can't say anyone has ever tried this with me - given as I do look like a side-show freak in photo's I'm very thankful for this.

If they ask just tell them no. When they ask why tell them you don't want to be associated with someone like them then walk away.

This has never happened to me. Only from family.

People have posed with me if they are tourists. Lots of tourists like a "posing with the local folks" picture. Russian tourists and Japanese tourists seem especially fond of posing with me (probably of posing with anybody). Sometimes people will pose with a local even if they are just from a different part of the country or if they are from the suburbs and want to pose with city people.

The person taking the photo could be using it for anytype of purpose. Like some guy taking a photo of you with him before comitting a crime so if he gets caught but tells the police I was with this guy I just met or even worst this is the guy who did it or he's the ringleader. The worst one could be if a woman would take your picture with her then say here is a photo of they guy groped/raped me. You would be screwed. Its reaching but weirder stuff has happened.

I saw a cable show about a guy who was walking home from work and he passed a boy and girl walking home, he thought nothing of it. The girl and boy were out past their parent's cufews. They spent the night engaging in consensual sex with one another lossing track of time. The girl gets home and her parents freak out so to escape a spanking and grounding she tells her parents she was raped. When they do a rape test on she had shown signs of sexual activity. Before the police had tests on her she gave them the description of the man who walked passed her and her boyfriend. The police managed to pick the guy up while he was still walking home. The girl latter admitted she thought the guy would have been long gone before the police started looking. They collected the guy's clothing and the girl's clothing they found no DNA to conect the two. All they had was the girl's word and the police found the man strange because he walked five miles from his job and home. Long story short the man did 10 years in prison. He went from mild manner kitchen worker to a harden prison gang member. She saw him on tv getting an interview about prison gangs so she felt bad and admitted to her lie. The DA with held information about DNA found o the girl's rape test. Its scary what could happen if the wrong person knows your description.

this is exactly what they do to the autistic man i posted about before at the bar. they tease him and he humiliates himself an i feel so bad 4 him but he also craeps me out too,

So some of what OP suggests is that it's due to them wanting to "elevate" your status by making you popular (The classic "you look lonely/depressed - I'll cheer you up" action which makes you talking to them, which makes you talk to other people and vice versa raising your popularity, etc). Or it's sheer souvenir as other people said.

I'd cosplay at anime conventions or dress up real weeaboo and do stuff in-character and people did that with me as I was similar to this internet meme or anime character,,,,

This was taken in 1978. It was the only year I didn't march in the University Marching Band. All the Gentlemen in this photo are alumni of Zeta Tau Chapter, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. We would normally march to the opposing team's bleachers and serenade the visitors.
