Imagine being admired for your good looks. What more could you ask for, right?

Then again, it might not seem so glamorous if the ones staring at you were complete strangers, using a Web site available to anyone in the world as binoculars.

“A new phenomenon has popped up,” said Nick O’Neill of AllFacebook, an unofficial blog about the social networking site. “Lonely guys [are] making websites about girls that they don’t even know after finding their photos on Facebook. These sites are nothing short of stalker-ish.”

Facebook has long been considered a safer place than its larger rival Myspace because Facebook only permits friends to see the content users post.

Facebook’s terms of use state that users are responsible for the photos that they upload to the site, but strictly disallow obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit content.

One of the sites hosting the reposted photos, FBChicks.com, explained the idea behind creating the site.

“The goal of FBChicks is to eliminate the pain in browsing a multitude of Web sites,” states the site’s “about” page. It goes on to explain that the creators’ idea was to compile party pictures all in one place for easy viewing.

For women who unknowingly appear on the Web site, FBChicks states that their photos are included because a user pretending to be them e-mailed their image to the site.

“It’s easy to get your picture removed from the site if you didn’t send it in…. We will get rid of it with no questions asked,” they state, providing an e-mail address for inquiries.

Another site, titled “Hottest Girls on Facebook,” also contains links to pictures of women from Flickr and Myspace.

“I do not know any of the people I post about,” writes the site’s manager, Brock Landers, on the “about” page. He states that those in the photos can also contact him for removal and apology.

Landers said he wanted to use the site, which began operation in October of last year, to help young women launch modeling careers and get publicity.

“If I were a dad of one of these girls, I’d be furious at my daughter for posting these pictures on Facebook, not the guy who posted them on his site,” Landers said. “Guys are guys, and all guys (at least heterosexual guys) like pictures of attractive women, even dads.”
