Does it really matter? If its meant to be it will be, why waste time wondering why? You will never get an honest answer anyway...........Just move on.

Three reasons:

1) They don't like the way you look.

or

2) They thinkyou are too good looking and are intimidated.

or

3) They were just trolling for pictures in the first place.

I'm male and I say it's not always the looks as it is the look. I get an idea of what the person is like by how they dress, how they show themselves, expression, makeup, hair, and etc.

I personally think the picture posted shows my playful side


Trust me, MOST of the men who troll on here do NOT think it's your "playful side".

You're a rather good looker and you are going to get more than your share of this kind of guy. Wish you well. And be careful.

Hey Eastside Eddie,

Thanks for you support, I was certain I would get a response to my straight forward, tell-it-like-it-is attitude, but I thought it would go the other way.

You have alot to say eh, LOL. Well keep speaking, it's rather enjoyable.

Cheers all

Hey, I have to tell you about the one last week. Some woman from the country up north that I will not mention sent me this whole "I bet we'd be good pals" letter.

And the photo on her profile is the Travelocity Gnome.

Now probably because I think the commercial where the lawn jockey is driving, the gnome is riding shotgun and the deer is laying in the back seat is really funny, I didn't delete immediately, but once I deduced that she sent me a cartoon for a reason...... CLICK

I have had this happen to me sense I have been online.

Typical reason someone wants to see a pic, they are all looking for attraction.

We do have the option to say we don’t want photo exchange, but that’s one of the first thing people ask for anyway. I think if we don’t want to give out a pic right away we should be respected & not condemned for being careful. When someone pushes me for a pic it sends up red flags & I will typically end contact.

I am only seeking someone to "hang out with" HONESTLY. To me what someone looks like shouldn’t matter? I'm not looking for attraction or chemistry so why should one's looks matter.

Looks do matter when it comes to attraction & chemistry. So, if someone doesn’t respond once they see your pic. It probably means they are not attracted to you.

Face it what I look like may not be attractive to you but might be to someone else. Same as whom I'm attracted to may not be the same to you. That’s why we don't all look like KEN & Barbie.

The thing is not to take it personal & keep how you are responded to when you aren’t attracted to someone.

I have had some interesting experiences since being online. I don't put my face out there because I have had people see me in public when I was working & come up to me. I had decided I didn’t want to meet these people in person & my gut was 100% right, when they saw me in public some made a scene in front of my customers which reflected badly on me & my business.

The first person I met in person from online ended up being a stoker. Safety should come first & foremost. You never really know whom you are talking to online.

Good luck & be safe,

My moto has always been trust nobody, and your safer that way. I'm a very cautious girl by nature, and I like to think that I make smart decisions on people's characteristics. So hopefully I will choose safely.

You bring up a very good point Soaringalone. I don't push for a picture, I have no problem chatting for awhile first. I've been talking to two guys regularly for over a week and still have no idea what they look like. But when I think I might want to meet them, assuming I do, then I'll ask for a pic and go from there.

Because babygirl as cruel and cold as it is, the world is basically a superficial place. Many people don't take the time to actually know someone they base it all on first glance. That doesn't make it right but let's be honest we all notice what someone looks like, but just because one doesn't like your looks doesn't mean another won't! People are attracted to different things, don't let one rejection or even a dozen , get ya down , somewhere there's a guy who's gonna see you and say WOOO HOOO! Now THAT"S my kind of gal! So keep it real, be confident,love you and sooner or later you'll find someone else to love you too....

Hotpink Angel if you had had your picture on your profile in the first place there would not have been a problem. Men do not want to hurt you by saying not interested.
Just my opinion.

The odds are that if they had seen your picture in the first place, they would have never emailed you; the process was done in reverse......... simple.

Well, first off this is pof, and there are tons of "fish" in the "sea". Don't stress/worry over things that you can't change. So what if some guy doesn't talk to you after seeing your pic? It wasn't like there was an emotional attachment in the first place. Should someone base so much importance on looks, who really needs someone that shallow anyways? Buck up, be yourself, and be proud of who you are.

Butterfly kiss said it well - OP, don't be too concerned about what people may think of your pics...enjoy meeting people. There's always gonna be at least one person who'll think you're attractive in their eyes! Enjoy making new friends here like I have! Hey, I don't get concerned anymore...I used to be, but life's too damn short and it's time to enjoy it while it lasts! Happy fishin'!

I read your profile hotpinkangel. You are being negative when you say "I am not the beauty you seak". I noticed when it called for body type you chose "prefer not to say" that usually means to people that you are over weight. Men have told me that they stay away from women who have angel in their names, because those women are usually hiding something. You also appear to be begging at the end of your profile when you say "pick me". I think it is best to put your picture on here then you do not have to go through the hurt when someone will not talk to you again after you send your photo to them. I, presonally, do not talk to anyone that does not have a photo on here anymore. One man did send me a photo that did not have one on his profile and the photo showed him handsome. He was very good looking in his photo. I met him in person and he looked nothing like his photo anyway. I think that you should get the angel out of your id, rewrite your profile, and post a photo and if you are over weight say so. That could save you from getting hurt in the future. This is just my opinion, but who am I to say, I do not look that good myself.

It's simple. We all have our preferences that we are attracted to. Some like tall, short, thick and some like thin. Some like long hair, no hair, facial hair etc. You must admit that although it is not everything and definetly not the most important thing in a relationship WE must be attracted to our mate. YOu can deny this and say that looks are not important, but they do play a role. I do think there is someone special for everyone. I dont think there is a reason to be offended if they dont respond after sending a pic, just simply move on to someone who is looking for someone like your self. What I think is wrong is when you get pics then meet them and they are nothing like there pics. Maybe there pic was 70# ago. Hang in there, I am a very average man with no hair and could stand to loose 20#, but I have found the most amazing, beautiful woman here on POF. Simply beautiful on the inside and out. Never give up on love, for that's whats life is all about.

Personally I think that we all should have the choice to decide whom we find "our" type or not.
If I post a pic, then the person sending me a message should do the same.
I get tired of men saying ..oh u will like what you see, just meet me in person, well you know what, you have no idea what I will like, that is my decision to make and to not have mine nor his time wasted in meeting unless we both agree on that initial attraction.
If a man see's you pic and does not like what he see's and then reads in your profile, big deal, move on...we are not all suited for each other.
That is the beauty of how God made us all different.
So chin up girlfriend and realize that you are destined for the right one, let all the wrong ones move on to the next.
Good Luck and never see yourself as anything less than perfect

Does it make it easier for you if they validate your opinion of yourself and write back and say "god DAMN you are ugly, girl. Sorry, but I can't even see myself PORKING you..."

Is that what you really want?

They don't speak to you again because you are not what they want. And your attitude should be THE LOSS IS THEIRS.

Even I get rejected, and I'm not ugly. I get rejected a LOT.

So join the club and be grateful they don't write and tell you why.

Careful what you wish, you may regret it
Careful what you wish, you JUST MIGHT GET IT
