Posted: 7/9/2006 8:00:30 PM | Well, I agree with ya, Mediator, but not totally. See, I lent my camera to my friends daughter
who is out in California. She has seen most of what she wants to see, and about to send the camera back. I can't wait to get it back, because i would like to have all the ladies out there see what I look like. And then they can decide which is something I totally understand. But not EVERYONE has a camera. I'm sure they feel bad in a way, like I do, because my capability just isn't here yet. I found this by accident, too, as I told Markus, the guy who runs this site. So I guess you have to sometimes do some "primitive homework": Ask them please to be honest and to describe themselves. I found a few great gals who didn't have a pic, and I was floored when i saw them. They were better looking than they said they were.
So have Faith, everyone. I realize this part, with wanting a pic but not seeing it can be kinda frustrating. Keep on the straight and narrow and you'll do fine! | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 5:11:01 AM | Here is a thought, Let's say you don't place a picture and go through the steps of getting to know someone through e-mails. What happens when you finally send someone a picture and the relationships stops right there? They liked your profile, liked your emails, the only obvious answer is they didn't like your looks. What did you save yourself from by holding back a picture? Not only that it is only fair for both parties to have an idea what the other looks like, but anyone who is willing to carry on in an unfair e-mail relationship will probably do the same in a REAL relationship. You tell me everything about you, I will allow you 'this' much about me. Not a good foundation in my opinion. | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 10:59:40 AM | | I would respond to anyone who rings my bell but that doesnt necessarilly mean I would go out with them, picture or not. I learned that you cannot tell anything about a person by a photo alone. All a photo does is say to another:"do you find me attractive enough to want to get to know me?" ...I myself have been shallow enough in the past to discard ladies contacting me just because I didnt like the way they looked in their pics. Who knows, I may have deleted the most wonerful person in the world out of my life with just a seconds thought. Now I give every consideration possible before I decide to either further contact someone or not. | |

I would have better luck with the gals if I put a photostatic copy of my bank statement on line
Hmm, I was taught that those who marry for money end up earning it. There is no way I'd sign up for a job that hard! | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 8:52:23 PM | I would, but I would want to see their photo (and more than one of them) before I agreed to meet them. I'd want to talk to them on the phone first too most of the time - you can learn a lot about a person's personality just by the way they talk, let alone what they actually say. I'm not really interested in someone who responds to detailed questions with "yeah.", nor am I going to go out of my way for someone who talks over me while I'm trying to say something or constantly cuts me off in conversation - both signs of a lack of respect. As far as the picture goes, I understand that people don't want to be judged solely on a two dimensional image online (and I know I'm a lot better looking in person!), but the odds are I'm not going to click on anyone's profile if they don't have a decent picture up. You don't have to be beautiful, but you do have to be INTERESTING.
Game on! | |

Posted: 9/10/2006 11:15:41 PM | i respond to anybody that contacts me whether they have a picture or not and i base meeting them on how well we get along and not on how they look or whether or not they have a picture but that is me and i wouldn't hold it against anyone if they didn't want to talk because i didn't have a picture. there's nothing wrong with you wanting to see what they look like before you meet them and anyone that complains about it should get a picture up and quitcher****in' | |

Posted: 9/11/2006 6:47:21 PM | | Yah I would probably respond to chat and get to know the person but only after checking out the profile first. If they seemed like someone I would want to get to know then chat and see where things go... through I probably wouldn't agree to meet them till i had a photo. most of attraction is personality through if you are truly not physically attracted then its not going to work. | |

Posted: 9/12/2006 6:08:45 AM | | Yes I would. Not being a shallow person I do not need to know what a person looks like to respond to their message. I dont pick and choose friends by their looks. I would never meet someone though without having seen a picture and would be extreamly cautious if all I ever heard from them was excuses on why I couldnt see what they looked like. Besides we all know that the picture on the profile could be old or not even them. | |

Posted: 9/14/2006 11:21:21 AM | well seeing as I do not of yet have have a photo......I would have to say yes that I would. If u chat with someone, and u get to the point where u want to meet each other, that is between the two parties that r involved. I've read where people show an old pic and don't say it is, I've have heard of people having face makeovers first to look better and then never again wear make-up. Do u want to see the real thing or fakes? | |

Posted: 10/17/2006 10:02:40 PM | I've had enough bad experiences meeting people who don't look anything like their photos to feel real comfortable about meeting someone with no photos, but I'd talk to her if her profile was detailed and interesting enough. I'd request a photo before meeting, and if that turns out to be an impossibility, I might still meet given a good description of what she looks like. If she's lying then, I would walk out/stand her up. If she's not lying, but there is just no attraction, I would be polite and finish the meet up and then move on. This would be a big waste of time for both of us, but that's the risk you take with no photos.
This is all for dating, of course. This really doesn't make sense if it's just for friendship. Then it doesn't matter as much what the person looks like. To some people it might not matter at all, but if I'm going to date someone, there has to be a physical attraction as well as an attraction on other levels and chemistry. | |

Posted: 10/18/2006 4:09:20 AM | Yes, I would respond and chat etc, but I think a photo is necessary before a meeting.... that being said.... how accurate are the photo's when you do get them?
Here is a side note .... I really dont need to see pictures of your pets unless your in the photo... lol

Posted: 10/18/2006 11:20:15 AM | | I have responded to men without photos. I find a good majority will send one without having to ask. The ones that give all the normal excuses for not having one are always told the same thing.....have a friend take one. They even have disposable digitals so it's not as if it's impossible. :) | |

Posted: 10/18/2006 12:08:53 PM | | I would definitely respond to someone whom doesnt have a photo. I respond to anyone whom has taken the time to contact me. I do so out of respect for the individual just because they took the time to contact me and replying to there message is appropriate in my opinion. But like the others say, I wouldnt think about meeting them or anything till I saw a photo of that individual because of the variety of ways to get a pic of yourself online. | |

Posted: 10/20/2006 12:55:10 AM | Yes, I would as photos are sometimes deceiving. I've known people who've put photos on websites that don't truly show what they look like; I guess their too vane and want men to think their much younger than what they are. I believe in honesty, and certainly would check someone's profile before agreeing to meet them. | |
