My problem seems to be unique.
My computer seems to have no way to upload a picture to POF.
I have a good digital camera and I do take lots of pictures and sometimes even full series on request.
But even if I could upload a picture, it wouldn't be a portrait.
It would be something like a puppet or better still, a Muppet.
For I think the outside of any man or woman is less interesting than the inside.
(Please, no pictures of surgery)
And the choise one makes of all possible pictures says a lot.

Posted: 10/17/2004 12:25:30 AM | I can say that I don't post my photo, because I would prefer a woman to be interested in me for my mind first, and then my looks. As for my looks, I'd say I'm about average, so it really means nothing to me anyway about the photo. But all it takes is a person sending me a message, saying: "I'm interested, may I see a photo" sure thing. You read my post, that was enough to interest you, fine, now you can see a photo. I also find that way, you also can see how shallow the person is, because if they don't write back you after you show them the photo, then you know they are all basing it on looks anyway.
However, I can't say I've ever had that happen, as I haven't even had anyone message me to begin with. I get the feeling that most girls on here don't even bother looking at the people without photos. I personally always go straight for the accounts that don't have photos, it makes me more curious. Someone sticks a photo up of themselves, big deal, doesn't tell me anything about them. I'd rather talk the ones who can stimulate me mentally without me even knowing what they look like. And I'm not saying that I don't discriminate against looks either, it's very hard to force yourself to be with someone you aren't attracted to, but sometimes, it takes getting to know a person before you find that "wow, I am attracted to them" A photo doesn't tell the whole story. And I find that a lot of people are probably missing out, by just skimming for the photo accounts and disregarding the ones that they may find unattractive at first.
Just my opinion, take it or tell me to piss-off, makes no matter. | |

I've got mail from a young girl in Africa. She didn't mind I don't have a picture posted!
Well, it's exactly what I'm not looking for: a girl, half my age, that just reacted on my profile, thinking we could match without any considerations.

Posted: 10/17/2004 10:21:58 AM | I'm with Felldownstairs....I'm not here trying to pick up chicks based on my (erHUM) rugged (koff) good looks. My character is my strongest selling point, so I advertise that.
Never got mail from Africa before. Though I am ranked very high by European and East Indian males. Scary... | |

Posted: 10/20/2004 6:59:46 PM | I think its because they feel they arent too attractive, even tho they may be. Its a self confidence issue...I think its better if people had their pictures up because even though we all say personality counts, but so does physical appearance, to some it may be more than others. I honestly can say I would want an attractive girl and what may be attractive to me may not be to someone else. The opposite is also true. I can care less if someone doesnt think Im attractive because Ive gotten that and also gotten that I am attractive. It depends on the other person's preference and what they look for...the worst thing to do is post someone else's picture and then say that its not yours, this and that, thats just plain wrong. That right there is dishonesty and thats a whole other issue. Thats all I got to say for now.  | |

Posted: 10/21/2004 6:59:44 AM | And that's something everone wants..someone who is attractive..the cliches go on...
Beauty is only skin deep...never judge a book by its cover...it's the inside of the orange you eat...and so on and so on...some people say looks dont matter...but they do. Perception is everything and most people are so critical about themselves, that the feeling of being criticized by others can be overwhelming...and its those people, men and women, that feel that societies perception of aesthetics doesnt include them.No one is the epitome of beauty...another cliche..everyone is beautiful in their own way...i've dated (what is attested and percieved by others) physically attractive women then when i got to know them, their looks changed because they were not attractive on the inside...and vice versa
The thing to keep in mind perfection is in itself imperfect..post your pic or not, whether you feel pretty or handsome or not...your self image may get in the way of meeting the most beautiful person you've ever known
One more cliche and its harsh but true:
One persons junk is another persons treasure...
Take that for whatever you feel you need to...what one person doesnt find attractive there are others that do | |

Posted: 10/21/2004 7:03:55 AM | | hey now, not all guys are sex driven a** holes like you think. Maybe the nice ones keep getting over looked because of women's quick assumptions about them. I have a pic in my profile and I'll be adding like 3 more today. Check me out. | |

| the reason is no pic's
Posted: 10/21/2004 7:21:44 AM | | well the reason is not everyone can buy a camra right away. and when we do have the money for the camra we see something else that we want.and even if we got a camra we still would not know how to work the damm thing anyway | |

I wonder the same thing about women too.
As for myself I wouldn't dare go on site without posting a Pic. I'm not ashamed of who I am nor do I have anything to hide... However maybe I should have avoided doing the pick thing then maybe I would have gotten an e-mail in three years from one of the half of dozen sites that I'm on.... It's a thought? | |

Posted: 10/24/2004 7:02:08 AM | To those guys who say they have no camera for a pic.....
You have
no camera? No Scanner ? No Family ? No Friends ? No Library ????
Then I Think
No Ambition ! No Money ! No Life !
You shouldn't ask for a pic, if you can't share one as well !!
I know my pic's not the best, cheap camera !! lol but it works !!! | |

Talking about pictures, I just asked the very same question from the women on here who don't have pictures with their profiles. Not wishing to knock your picture, but it is of very low quality, I couldn't even see your face, only strands of hair, got another one to post? | |

| Y dont guy's post there pic in profile??
Posted: 10/24/2004 10:47:25 PM | I have corresponded with girls who have sent me a pic but do not have one on thier profile. At a certain point I have to ask if I can see what they look like because they already know what I look like.
Two things happen:-
1. They then stop all communication (this leads me to think that they are hiding something or are too ugly to be photographed)
2. They send a pic and I find that I am not physically attracted to them (words are not enough, and I believe there must also be physical attraction). This makes things very awkward and I do not with to pursue this any further with her - she also feels down because her pic is disappointing. This is a no - win situation which could have been avoided by just having a pic on her profile in the first place.
So now I do not respond to anyone without a pic in their profile. | |

Posted: 10/25/2004 1:51:38 PM | That's Y I post pics,2!!! No disappointment>they like what they see THEN reply..I think looks + personality go hand in hand...u need 2 be compatible in both...I'm not worried & U guys shouldn't be,, `cuz everyone has their own preferences & varying tastes, SOMEONE's bound to like ya 4 both!! & dont go by ur average rating, go by who has rated u 7 or more, its betta that way...Cuz sum fine honey's think highly of moi, & that's awesome 4 me...The 1's who voted me poorly, just don't know tho...PEACE  | |

Posted: 10/26/2004 5:02:24 PM | | I did reluctantly.... not a very good one either, but figured I like to see who I am talking to. Not that looks matter (well not that much) just nice to see who you are writing to. Not that it helped me get responses. Guess women are much more superficial than men in the looks department. Just kind of disturbing when reading what the women want in their ads and knowing that you could offer them that and so much more but won't even talk to you because you might not be the supermodel type. I mean being physically attracted to someone is important.... but at least give the guys the benifit of the doubt. Sorry about that........ got off the subject a bit there. Guess I will save it for a later post. | |

Posted: 10/27/2004 9:23:34 AM | | Not everyone is looking to hookup here or get laid. Granted there are alot of people on here that are looking for "the one." Lets be real, the chances are 1 in a million you are going to find "the one" on this website, well hell on any internet chat or email. So my answer to that question is: I see no point to put a pic up, I'm not looking for someone online, and what does it matter, "the one" is not online. | |
