Posted: 8/7/2008 2:48:15 PM | Why has this topic got people with no pictures criticising other people with no pictures.
The double standards of POF members is almost as laughable as their ignorance when returning emails.
I'm bored....

Posted: 8/7/2008 3:11:59 PM | Who gives a shit if someone recognizes you ?
It's 2008 if nobody had noticed, wanting to find somebody isn't a deplorable act these days. I'm pretty sure most people believe that is is socialy acceptable to date, to find a partner these days.
I don't answer anybody unless they have a pic, or are willing to send me one. When you have to look at somebody everyday, they should at least be attractive to you in your eyes. To me a persons outside is about 50% of what attracts me to them, and the other 50% is their mind. Usually their mind is the first thing to draw me in. That's why I have a small novel on my page.
Most guys that put no pic on and brag about themselves are just playing games behind the comfort of a keyboard, and probably have an overweight wife at home that used to be skinny or HE used to be skinny and his wife wants nothing to do with him and is seeking attention.
I have a ton of pics up and I think I'm an average looking guy, no brad pitt, but I'm happy with myself, still got my hair, pretty good shape, and I hardly get any resposnes to be honest. So I can't see where any girl with any seriousness at all would even read a guys profile that has no pic at all, nontheless complain about it.
And the only reason I am writing this is because I saw it on the front page as I was waiting to log in. das eet | |

Posted: 8/7/2008 3:27:36 PM | Hi Vanni,
Why can't you use the right "Their" (not there)??? Sorry for correctimg you, no I am not an english teacher.
Maybe these guys are shy or don't consider themselves attractive . Or maybe they are hiding something such as a wife!!!
Good luck!!

Posted: 8/7/2008 3:51:01 PM | I don't expect to meet anyone online. Right now I am more interested in reading the forums. Great entertainment.
I've posted a pic now and then, but, quite frankly, most women don't like it. Funny, because the women I date in real life are, IMHO, above average looking and like the way I look.
Online, usually, I get rejected when I send my pic. Therefore I am sticking to real life.. much better odds and easier on the ego.
I think it's hard to convey your personality online. Let's be honest, a lot of it is phony. I'm sure there are good people out there, but it's an incredible challenge to find em. Last time I entered my criteria, which I didn't think were that stringent, I returned a total of 3 results. Ouch. Need to get one of those fish-finders.

Guys don't post their picture usually for one reason, THEY ARE MARRIED.
EXACTLY the same reason for girls who are married/in relationships then, eh???
It's not a guy thing or a girl thing... It's an ARSEHOLE thing. | |

Posted: 8/9/2008 6:00:31 AM | wow scorpio,
How negative your whole comment is! One million in one? Well, interesting. I know 10 people right off hand, maybe more, if I would think about it, that are now married due to meeting online. That is over a period of 6 years, so not sure if that enters into your odds, lol. I think your odds are a bit off. But if one is so sure something can not happen, then one will do whatever instinctively to make sure it doesn't happen so they can justify their thinking.
I agree, the odds are low, but so is going across town to bars, or outdoor festivals in a community, in finding "the one" that will last a lifetime.
Sounds like you feel that posting you photo won't help your odds. But then again, if you do not, you will never know. The less one does on a profile, the less likely one is to find "the one". So that helps justify your thinking. Heck, even UGLY people online find love and long term commitments. So it cant be about that.
Sounds to me like you aren't really ready to find the one anywhere. If one is seriously looking, they will try a number of venues. Serious people do what is available to find happiness. And a with a free site like this, how can you lose even if you do not find them HERE!? lol Why would one close even one door to finding a life time of happiness??? Seems self-defeating to me....But, hey, it IS only MY opinon! | |

Posted: 8/9/2008 6:17:31 AM | laceysintown,
There really are some legit reasons not to post a photo. But, if that is so, then the guy usually puts in his profile he will send one if asked or if you are interested and email and ask for one, he will send one. Your statement is overgeneralizing. I have met men who do not have photos, but I don't frequently, and none fit your scenario.
Even if there is a photo, it doesn't mean it is a recent one! I have met a number of men who had phots that showed hair on the head and them within a normal weight range. I meet them and they are 300 lbs more, and some are bald! So, pics don't always mean much either. 
One guy was standing by this nice expensive car too in his photo..... lol.. yeah... he didn't own it! Said it drew the "chicks" . To me those things all are deceit. (No, I didn't care about the car, wasn't why I met him. lol) Once deceit enters the picture, you can almost bet more will follow along the way. So some things in the photos aren't always real anyway!! One needs to use caution about all things in a profile. Photos are just one of them, and probably the least important to worry about. Photos are just an aid.
So, if you really think all men posting a photo are for real, or all guys without one are married, taken or hiding something, you might lose out on the love of your life....
As always, everything in balance, and the above, just my opinion,
Linda | |

Anybody can save your picture and do whatever they want with it. People are too trusting and stupid nowadays, that's why there's so many scam artist around.
Some people make it so easy to attain personal information of themselves, just so easy. | |

Posted: 10/23/2008 8:44:27 AM | NO PIC = HUGE RED FLAG!
Hey - if you are either married (& cheating) or just too plain embarrassed to post a few pictures (not just one) - I am not interested.
It's like anything else in life - If you put in a good effort, you may get some positive results. If you put in a half-ass effort, you will most likely get crappy results. | |

First response, bulls*it.
Second response, absolutely true. Personally, I am hiding your shallowness from yourself, so you can continue to judge who is worthy of your attention based solely on their physical appearance. I am unattractive, some would call me ugly. Doesn't hurt, been called worse. I know that there are some ladies who can and do read my profile sans image, because they've e-mailed me and asked specific questions about things in my profile.
So, I guess it comes down to what you are looking for - physically attractive but don't know (or care) squat about what's behind the facade, or what's inside is at least equally important as what's showing.
May you find what you are looking for. | |
