I've seen that on several sites, like gay.com for example and it would not surprise me that it's happening on bear 411 too.
It can be a sincere form of flattery, but it's also fraudulant and not being honest/truthful about who the person is when you go to the great lengths to find a pic of someone else to use as your main profile pic.
Then there are guys who insist they aren't bitter or angry but their posts indicate otherwise, like the profile I found on 411 yesterday while chatting with a fella from Portland.

Of course I had to post about it too. :-)
