Let's face it we all have a type, whether we admit it or not.

Post your pic for all to see, therefore eliminating disappointment. No pic no communication. Nobody get's hurt, nobody looses an eye.

My experience on POF has been that most men "shop in the wrong mall." Sadly, society will never evade this practice until Hollywood stop's glamorizing male/female relationship's with TV show's like "King Of Queen's, Life According to Jim." Average looking, chubby, balding men with an attractive, slim wives. Or TV commercial's with average to below average, short, chubby, balding men with an attractive, slim, stylish woman by their side. Real life is not a TV show/commercial.

Having said that, I'm in no way implying that I'm the best catch on POF, however I make every effort to maintain a look that is current and attractive to the best of what I've got.

I guess reading isnt something you do too ? the OP didnt ask what they do with the pics????? she asked why cant men who see her pics tell her after they view her pics and be honest and say " they are not interested"

On topic, I suspect most men dont want to hurt your feelings by saying they are not interested, its easier for them to ignore you.

We are all visual creatures, but beauty also comes from within. If they aren't solid enought to be honest and say not interested, then they did you a tremendous favor by going away. Hang in there girl, you'll find him.

Why not post a pic in the first place? That way if they are not interested, you don't have to know about it. Those who find you appealing will contact you while those who don't won't waste their time and yours, not to mention your feelings.

Well a typical guy is into looks first mind second
There are still women that do the same no?

Honestly girls look at my pic
The quality is bad im not smileing.
That is probly the first reason no one sends me a message.

Secondly women look at money
At leat a guy only looks at whats on the outside not whats in your wallet.
Who is more superficial now eh?

Hello!

Last weekend I had 4 men asking for pictures on another dating site. I don't post my picture, so I emailed to all 4. (after a few days of what I thought was great conversations) I am a very good looking woman, but slightly over weight. I did not hear back from any of them and my ego took a blow. I sent a brief email to all of them asking the same question you are asking. Why did they not respond and at least say not interested. Then I heard from one of them a day later. He said he was sorry it took him so long to respond. We have been talking ever since and I have my first date with him tonight.

I guess you just have to hang in there. These guys that don't respond are dogs. They are not worthy of you. They are cowards. Even if you did get together with them they would use you and toss you out. Just be glad that you know early on. Keep trying. It should not be about looks, but personality and chemistry. The guy I am going out with tonight is not so shallow. He does not care about my pant size or bra size. He just likes what I have to say. Hang in there! Good luck.

Tina,

Very shallow. Of course attraction is important. It is my right to give my picture out or not. I am attractive, but I want someone to get to know me on the inside, The guys that make it all about looks are not for me. Even with a picture, until you meet someone there is no guarantee that it will work out. I have dated every size and shape man.

I have met some great men that don't post photos. They were not "hiding" anything. The ones that don't have anything to say and just put a picture out there are the ones who are "hiding" something. The statement you made about "no longer just words" is very shallow. Good luck in your world. I choose to stay away from all that. My choice.

Why not post private pictures? Then they won't have to ask. If people find you attractive they will reply to your mails.

Perhaps if you also stop setting yourself up for a fall by saying 'I am not a beauty'. Everyone is beautiful to someone.

Shallowness is prevelant in both genders. Ask any man who has dated on POF...if you send out 20 letters..not flirts mind you,but 20 actual time spent , well thought out letters of greeting , a man will be lucky if 5 women even bother to acknowledge him. The 'Read/deleted" next to a letter one took the time to write with no response can be a blow to someones ego. It's always about the visual first off...lets be honest.....we ALL like having our 'eye candy' on our arm. So please stop the male name calling.....as i said both genders are inconsiderate at times. One has to have a somewhat thick skin to date online, but the beauty is someone is always just a click away from knowing you. Just keep on fishing. Have a nice holiday all.......Bob

I think it is safe to say both men and women probably do this. I think it is mean. But unfortuntely a part of internet dating.
No response means no interest. I would not take it personal. There are lots of fish in the sea>>> :>)

Because they want jerk-off material.
Yes they can get it from dirty sites but it kind of arouses them getting it from a "normal" lady, respectable...

OK Op you know you are no great beauty but did you ever try to work with what you got?

How about making yourself more attractive? Seek either profession advice or start reading alot of fashion and beauty magazines . It does not take much. Something as simple as a new haircut,different makeup, changing your style of dress , glasses to contacts , tweezzing a few stray hairs and getting those nails and toes done , maybe a weight loss programar a gym visit or two. But the big change you have to make is your confidence . Stop thinking of yourself as average . Everyone has some special talent.

The men that dissing and dismissing you.....F**K 'EM!

Even good looking guys like me, get the same treatment. I don't take good pictures.

REALITY CHECK:...........
The vast majority (of guys) are looking for a Playboy Bunny, or (for women) a GQ Stud, with a 39 Foot Sting Ray cabin cruiser.
