It's just a way for guys to get your real email so they can badger you all the time. If they were honestly serious than they would put a pic up and no play games.
I suppose this wouldn't apply to me, as I am not a guy, I am not here to be at all serious, and I don't badger people for anything. I offered my email so that no one wil lose sleep over wondering if I was a freak.   And even perhaps in the future I may place a few of me behind the profile. I just don't feel to compelled to do it at this moment.
Sorry you had to deal with "badgerers," but at least there is one you won't have to worry about. | |

Posted: 12/13/2004 8:29:29 AM | The reason why some men don't post their pic is because when women look at men's
pictures online they think: ugly, ugly, poor hygiene, ugly, ugly. You get the point.
Women tend to be very harsh. In real life I am able to attract a reasonable amount
of women, but when I post my picture online it's a different story. Anyways, I think if
most guys had to rely solely on their appearence they would never get laid. I mean
come on even the really ugly fat chicks weren't responding to my messages when I
was posting my pic. And listen, I don't mean to brag but I've been out with some very
beautiful women. | |

Posted: 12/13/2004 9:31:50 AM | I'd respond with something sensible but I'm too busy with the rush from the compliment from rheanna .. :)
actually, coming from the country I do, I can sort of understand why a lot of guys dont post their pix - it can be seen as an admission to the world that 'Hi, I'm a loser and single - and I cant really find a soulmate in real-life'. Now I know that isnt true, but dang, the little twinge experienced inside when I hit 'send' to upload my pic, tells me that I have a whole bunch of conditioned idea's and preconceptions about online dating that I have to override. Are my neighbours or co-workers going to see this and s at me? Is this an admission of failure in real life? You know, all those dumb thoughts that we never talk about :) (Then I look around at whats available locally, and realise, its the only sane option left to me :P ) | |

Posted: 12/13/2004 11:12:20 AM | It is just my opinion, but I have always felt that people who don't post their pictures have an issue to hide. It may be that they don't have a digital picture, and I will accept that. But with webcams going for less than $20.00, it would seem to me that that isn't the issue.
I know that married people are not in a hurry to post their picture. Or those in "committed" relationships. While I do not understand the behavior, the seeking to cheat on a partner, I do understand the reasons for not posting a picture. A need to keep from losing what they are already working on losing anyway. | |

Posted: 12/13/2004 2:02:24 PM | See, this one is quite easy to explain I myself have had friends who have done this and not because they had some pretruding digusting bloated wart or growth or something but because they are just too d*mn cheap and their poor broke a** cannot even afford the busride let alone the 20 bux to shell out to get to the Walmart to get a Camera!
The Truth Hurts...Marcostranostra..
As much as I do not want to admit it I myself have had this problem at(weep...weep)one time..yes believe it I was and still am dirt cheap.....thank you this is my first post . | |

Posted: 12/13/2004 4:17:22 PM | I think that posting a pic is key in geting responces, I dident put a discription about me on my profile cause I think that if there is an atraction to begin with there is intrest in geting to know me, and I think its better to get to know me or them thure chating in real time be it on the net or off, that alows a truer sence of who the person is. For most of us we have a wide range of intrests and who can realy say they have writen all of them in there profile?
So by doing it in this way you can take the the time to realy get to know the person better and find out things that mabey that person forgot to put in there profile and all because you were atracted to a pic!
Then again I could be way of on this, but that just my 2cents...

Posted: 12/13/2004 9:20:54 PM | If they are married then they probably should not be on here, unless they are into that as a couple. If they are 'afraid' someone they know is going to see them and they don't want to be embarrassed or some ridiculous nonsense like that, well then they should not be on here in the first place.
Is this a mean post? Not even close, this is me telling it like it is. | |

Posted: 12/14/2004 11:54:10 AM | If only that were 100 percent true, 100 percent of the time, my friend. But I think we all know that’s a load of total BS. If that were the case I would be king pimp of the universe by now....
PS. I have so much personality it’s leaking out all my orifices.  | |

Posted: 12/14/2004 2:29:32 PM | I agree...
I have yet to meet the woman that said: "You have a good personality; would you like to go out?" If you ain't got money you better have good looks on your side. Otherwise your just considered not good enough.
I wonder good enough for what? A woman that says one thing and does another. Yea, sounds like a real fine catch there? Trust me your much better off fella's that these women are passing you over because do you reall want that shallow of a person any where near you?
Yea, they say and keep saying they don't judge men based on their looks or income but its all BS. Sure they do! But you will never get one to admit it... More importantly just because they say they don't; doesn't mean it's any less true that they actually do... | |

Posted: 12/14/2004 3:25:19 PM | Hey Vanni -
Just ask! Some people may simply want to get to know whom the real person is before getting into superficial physical details. Of course, some people are all about the physical, and that's fine too, but there really is more to life than that. I know that I look good (well, decent well, decent, anyway) and if a woman responds to what I have written about myself without having seen a picture, then I am more likely to want to get to know her. Certainly i am like most people in that I need to be physically attracked to a woman before there could be a romantic connection, but the funny thing about physical attraction is that it changes if there is an emotional, psychic, or intellectual attraction. Personality really is very attractive, unless all one wants is sex. Nothing wrong with that at all! But, if that is what drives a person, then that person needs to be honest about his or her motives.

If some one will not send you a picture after you have made contact, however, then DELETE! | |

Posted: 12/14/2004 10:12:09 PM | Hey Martel I meet a lady online a year ago and never saw her pic before I met her, we just realy hit it of thure chating online. When I met her for the first time man she was absultly beautiful I had to pinch myself to make shure i wasent dreaming. Anyway that never worked out but I have a good friend because of it so it was not a waste of time and im glad I never deleted her.
Anyway If someone dont want to show there pic its not going to stop me from geting to know them cause you just never know what you may be passing up.
Also some women (and it's usaly the good ones that we are looking for) are tired of b.s reples from ingnorent men asking for sex xetra that dont post a pic, so I wouldent dismiss someone cause they wont show a pic there could be a good reason for why they wont. | |

Alot of guys don't show their pictures because:their already married, and playing the field
Are in a relationship, and don't want their significant other to see them,
Don't want their friends to recognize them
Don't want their family to recognize to them
Are too cheap to post a photo
Already feel insecure by being reject on the homefront
Have tried wed-dating, with negative responses | |

I won't post mine anymore!!!!!! I worked hard to get in shape, and lost 100 pounds and everything and got compliments from over a dozen women on how good I look but when I posted my picture here I get rated a 1!!!!! I had no idea I looked so hideous! I thought I was more or less average.
Now I'm thinking those women complimenting me were just feeding me little white lies to make me feel better about myself.  | |
