It depends on the post. I guess if I'd spent a lot of time posting several paragraphs I'd want it to be liked, on the other hand anyone with intimate photos and videos isn't posting them in the hope that they'll be ignored.
Weighing it up I'll say people with nude pics will prefer likes for them, I'm in that category of course so I'll vote that way.

Please like this post! :)

For me I think "likes" play on two different needs and concepts.

Since the reason I post pics are mainly to show off my wife, in that aspect likes received appeal to my sexual fantasy side as well as a sense of pride in having something that someone else might desire. In fact I actually get more of an ego boast knowing someone is giving a like for her pics then any of the few of me, despite the reality that a man receiving a like for his pic from a woman is much rarer than the reverse so it should logically be more gratifying when he does.

But written posts are for the purpose in getting out my thoughts, opinions and advice and being an amateur writer, most of what I have to say is deliberate and thought out ahead of time. I usually cannot get by with just popping off a quick response to something which I realize can make my posts sometimes seem like a dissertation. But because of that, a like response I interpret as an appreciation for me taking the time and forethought as well as someone thinking I truly have something worthwhile to say. So in that respect, I think I would always prefer acknowledgement of posts over pictures.

Well I joined to show off.

I rarely post in forums.

Dude, you certainly have it going on. Great that you enjoy showing it off too. LIKE!!

Edited to add: I enjoy likes to both pic and comments. Feedback too and certainly welcome, all aspects of it.

It's your own unique posting style but you get your point across ok.
At almost 59,000 messages there aren't many as dedicated as you. I think you might be the record holder with that post count. :cool:

I was speeding about on a Suzuki GT250 in '79 - we might have passed by on the country roads! :cool:

I enjoy receiving likes on both posts and pics, but for somewhat different reasons:

Posts: If I write a post carefully and thoughtfully and then it gets a like, it means my thinking skills are being recognized and appreciated. That is always gratifying.

Pics: Beyond a few samples, I only share my pics and videos with people I have come to know and trust, so if one of those people leave a like, it means a great deal to me if they enjoy what they're seeing and how I took the best photo I could. I don't care what strangers think.
