Good luck skippy.
*I couldn't care what someone looks like as long as she and I can have a good time together
Most of the takers will want a date with the dog I bet lol.
When you are unattractive you take what you can get.
People who look good have options you don't.
That's really prick-ish of you . You have no idea who I am or what I look like . I am obviously good looking enough to attract a beautiful Wife . I am married and still can date others . How's that for options ? | |

Holy crap! Talk about NAIVE!! The pic doesn't actually have to be THEM! It is seriously easy to find a pic of someone and pretend it is you. People on dating sites do it all the damn time, both men AND women!
I dont doubt that happens. But eventually you get caught. In the normal progression of events a meeting will happen. If the meeting does not end up happening (because the person does not want to reveal who they really are) then contact gets lost and you end up with nothing any-how. Why bother presenting your-self as some-thing you are not? In the end it doesnt help you.
At one time I wouldnt even chat unless the person had a web cam. I still might go back to that. And no its not to see her nekkid, its to see if;
-the person really is female
-the pics are really of her
-the pics she showed me or the ones on her profile are not 10 years old and some-thing is being hidden.
Call it shallow or whatever you want, its human nature for both sexes to want to be with some-one they are attracted to. You are kidding your-self if you think otherwise. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 12:23:18 PM | I usually have pix up. Right now, I just can't be bothered as I am not attracting any interest from people who are local and actually serious about meeting.
Would I want to see pix before meeting? Hell yes....but I don't put a lot of faith in the pix being accurate. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 4:01:42 PM | i was just talking about this in my last post i am considering removing it as you ladies seem to wait to Sadie Hawkins day before you make the first move so why put myself out there. I can just attach it to my email when i send the first one, which is almost always. Show some initiative girls. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 4:39:27 PM | No photo? Why not? Obviously there has to be physical attraction to begin with. Right? Although I have been fortunate enough to run into someone on another site whom I already knew from many years ago. Go Figure! No, I wouldn't say he's the most handsome man I've ever dated but he IS the best man I've ever dated. (so far. lol) | |

Maybe women don't make the first move very often because we are told so often that we are worthless. Too fat, too tall, too short, too old, have kids...whatever. Get enough of that and we quit making first contact. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 6:04:18 PM | | zoom In real life it may be somewhat different, on here if you sit and wait for women to approach you...well, you may be waiting awhile. That's not just you, I mean any man. Men outnumber women on here by a good margin, so most women if they're answering their mail don't even have time to go persue. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 10:36:48 PM | exactly my point bucsgirl why post a pic if your a guy just send it with the email nobodies looking at your profile unless you do send them mail.
Seems if I was you girls rather than taking what you get should find what you want and make the move you do have a whole lot more to choose from...i say we make a rule right now since this isn't real life why not reverse the roles a bit start making the effort. Times like this call for drastic measures. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 10:42:57 PM | | sorry Fox, didn't see your post...i have to agree i know many a guys that are pretty nasty but usually their the players that are making the first move...read between the lines and pick and choose. I get alot of what your saying too, you have no idea, women can be quite brutal too, however you do have the power to choose just be realistic. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 10:44:43 PM | | I know women can be brutal too. Realistic? How about I just assume I am not good enough for anyone and leave it alone? | |

Posted: 7/26/2005 3:08:30 PM | Fox, I remember what your pic looks like...you got nothing to worry about.
Haven't we seen this thread forty times already?
I think this should be a pinned post, by now.
Somepeople don't have cameras. Some people don't want their face on the internet. Some people are hiding from their spouses. Some people are...get the point?
Everyone has a different reason for not putting up a pic, those that do...great, you're not insecure about your looks, you aren't spooked to splash a pic of your face on the net, you're not hiding from your spouse, "you're the man cool guy".
I only put up a pic after a lot of coercing from one of the women on here, and didn't do it right away either. (She had to remind me once or twice)
Aside from all that, what makes you think that the pic of the person you are looking at is even that person at all?? It could be five years old, when they still had most of their teeth and hair. So the point is invalid to begin with.
If you don't have a pic, at least put up a cartoon so Tom Hanks can scream WILSON! | |

I have heard of people doing this but it has never happened to me.
If someones looks have gone or they have gained excess weight it will only come out when they meet up in person.
If someone did do this I would leave instantly.
People who choose to play this game are just looking for cheap entertainment and not to meet in person.
Try again brainless. | |

If you can create a profile here, you can upload a photo.
They couldnt make the instructions any easier. | |

Posted: 7/29/2005 12:48:48 AM | Opinions are like ***holes we all have one.
I laugh at the petty sterotypes of the people just so proud to have pics.
SILLY HUMANS so so judgemental and self-rightous.
I am new to this whole computer thing let alone, internet dating.
I have numerous reasons why I have no pic.
Which would you like first:
I just new to this and do not have a scanner. I began to do my research and found that nobody I know has a scanner. But then my friend told me maybe I can get pictures developed on a computer disc and download them to my computer.
Yes, so now that is the plan. But I have a busy life, let me drop everything and buy film, take pictures, get developed. It is just not a top priority. I am very busy. This does not mean I am lazy or a procrastinator or insecure, or got a spouse or boyfriend. Get a grip people. | |

Posted: 7/29/2005 11:50:16 PM | No it is much more simple than any of those.
Take snap shot or Drivers License to Kinkos.
They will scan it and burn it to a disc for like $5.
They will even walk you through the incredibly difficult uploading of the photo.
Oh and most Kinkos are open 24 hours for your busy schedule. | |

Posted: 7/30/2005 12:11:08 AM | | Personally.. reason I don't have a pic ( besides that I am camera shy..= not like getting pic taken..) is that I don't have many pics of myself. Main one I do have, is with my kids, and in no way am I posting it online. If after initial contact or so, if someone wants to see what I look like, then can show by some other means.. via messenger or such. | |

Posted: 7/30/2005 6:30:40 AM | | If a man doesn't have his photo up, to me it means he's either in a relationship or married. Pass 'um by babe. Not worth spending your time with them. They don't care enough to post a photo, then they don't deserve the time to communicate. | |

Posted: 9/16/2005 12:13:06 AM | The way I approach dating is that I look for outwardly attractive people in places like bars/clubs etc…as I can see them in person, and develop my own impression of them in real time…but online, I am looking for someone who is intelligent and can hold my attention through good written communication. In other words, I would rather speak to someone who used proper grammar and didn’t use ‘internet words,’ but who didn’t have a photo, as opposed to someone who has a good photo but couldn’t spell or construct a decent sentence – at least some of the time.
If someone is able to hold my attention through writing then I have to say that I am willing to chance it and give them the time of day…If you want to get a good idea as to how a woman looks and feel about themselves, ask them to rate themselves from 1-10 and you would be surprised at how honest and accurate women are…I’d take that any day over a photo - but that is just me I suppose.
Just don't assume everyone who doesn't have a photo up is ugly, has a low self image etc...Sharing photos is a choice, not an obligation... | |

Posted: 9/16/2005 1:12:26 AM | watts up with no photos? i will tell you straight out
I hate photos that are fake. the one's that look like models and poseing with their booty high up in the air . but hey i am a guy. I may like to see you in private for that. but what really gets my attention is . a natural one if you are at an office, or by your pc, a senic one on vacation. get my drift. any one that understands this will agree. i do know this I was there once a pc can be expensive and not owning everythng in the world it may be they do not have a camera if it is a kodack or aps , but yes you can go get a throw away and have a picture transfered to a cd and then post. give it time otherwise
once i post my topic the thread will die
Is that what you are looking for as an answer? look at my profile it has character  | |

Posted: 9/16/2005 3:12:42 AM | | Thank you, sevenoftwelve! You made some good points all of which I agree with. I don't post a photo because I know that photos attract people who don't care to read profiles. The kind of people I don't care to talk to. Read my profile, and if you like it, message me, ask me for a picture after a while. You might get one. I'm only looking for friends on here anyway, and if you don't want to give me the time because I might be ugly, screw you. The people who have contacted me have been decent, I'm thanking not having a picture up for that. | |

Posted: 11/30/2005 7:00:47 PM | You are correct, there seems to be a lot of male's without photos. Seems a bit strange being online. It is already a cold enough process talking with a computer. What are they trying to hide. I can see if it is for their profession. Otherwise, they just want to shock the women off their computer chairs. Good or Bad?

Just a foot note to those who want a pic., how about being polite about it. Maybe you should try reading the persons profile, letting them know you'd like to chat and could you please send photo. Repling to someone no pic no chat is equal to telling a person you don't care who they are only what they look like. | |
|
| What's Up With NO PHOTOS?
Posted: 1/18/2006 6:52:33 PM | ^^^^i agree.
You people jump to conclusions about total strangers too much
Everything doesn't have some nefarious plot attached to it.
People have their reasons.
At this rate people are going to just find some picture off the WWW and post it to stop your accusations so they can continue to maintain whatever reasons they have to remain anonymous.
Give people the benefit of the doubt | |
