Posted: 11/14/2006 6:02:29 PM | | Intresting, but not surprising demographic on this topic...Those with pictures say they wouldn't respond to someone who doesn't have a picture, and those without a pic, say it doesn't matter...hmmm | |

Posted: 11/30/2006 12:34:31 PM | | Yes, I would respond to someone without a photo, although I do agree with you on the blind date thing. If we ask you for a picture, we aren't shallow, we just want to know what you look like. No matter what anyone says there is always an attraction. If it's not there how can you form a relationship? That's my question. Not to mention, we all know how awkward the first meeting is, even if you've seen the person. Now think about how frightening it might be to not know what they look like!!? Just my thoughts... | |

Posted: 11/30/2006 1:28:43 PM | No, I like to see how they look like because looks are half what I'm looking for in a women and the the other half is who they are. I'm one of those guys who will judge a women on a littel of their looks. I judge a women looks by their face, body, and sorry I have too say this but how fat and sinking they are, they can have a littel belly on them but not too much and love handels are ok. Don't get be wrong I don't hate fat people just the one's who go to far with it, like 250 bounds and more for a women.
I don't mean to hurt any one with this but that how I feel. | |

I've tried that approach but I frequently find I can't haul in more than 200lbs. 
I totally believe that its what's inside that counts, and if that were the only factor in a realtionship then we'd all be very happy. Unfortunately men (and women) are visual, there are certain visual cues that attract you to someone - some are conscious, some unconscious.
I mean Mahatma Ghandi was a great guy - but does he make you horny? hmmmm.
It works both ways- I've met beautiful women that are ugly on the inside and that's not what I'm looking for. | |

Posted: 2/14/2007 12:35:57 PM | I have never seen so many psychologists and know-it-alls in one place before. I agree with those who say "if you need to see my photo to talk to me then you're not worth it". Those who say men without a pic have something to hide, think they can put men in a basket and tell all about us....we're all identical, right? If that were so, then why didn't you stick with the last one if the next one will be the same way?
I can give you many reason someone would not post a pic. Men especially would not want someone they know to find out they're resorting to advertising. I know....youre gonna say its not advertising, but people will assume what they will, just read the posts here. Not owning a digital camera is feasible. Being married is also possible, but highly unlikely in my opinion. I would think someone who cheats is bold enough to post their pic. I personally have not posted one because I do not have a good one. Believe me when I tell you that, I have sent my pic a couple times, and never talked to the ladies again, but I am a good looking guy with a poor pic. I will eventually post one when I get a better one, but believe me also that I will remember those ladies, and remember to forget them. And I actually used to believe women when they said they were not into men for their looks.
Would I meet someone without seeing a pic? no. I will talk to anyone, and have conversations with anyone. I would NOT lead someone on because I admit looks are important. They are more important for some people than others, but without a physical attraction, I can't think of a reason to be together as a couple. Why not just friends? Also if you can't be friends, then looks will not matter. So if someone wants to see how you get along without knowing anything about looks, then I respect that a lot. It would be sad, though, to really get along with someone, and meet them, to find out there is no attraction at all. It would be better to have a view before a meeting.
But do you need a pic just to have a conversation? If so then you are so superficial, I will never be able to convince you, because you are so vain, you probably think this song is about you. I have talked to a few women without pics then eventually sent one privately, and turned out to be quite good looking.
So in conclusion, if you think that no pic=ugly or no pic=married or no pic=anything, quit trying to convince yourself how smart you are, and quit trying to label everyone and everything, and just live life, and be nice.
One more thing: I have seen profiles that say "no pic no response" and guess what? I respect that. I know right away how superficial you are, and would not want to talk to you anyway, so were in agreement :p No but really I respect that in a profile. Seriously we all have our own opinions, and criteria. If I seemed harsh to all of you with different opinions, take it with a grain of salt, though I see truth in what I said, I do not mean it that seriously. We all have our reasons to think what we do, and if a pic is that important to you for just a text conversation, then ok, you can have it your way, but its always nice when you put it in your profile, so those of us who choose not to post one on our profile, can send them to who we wish if we want to, and hide them from everyone else, and those who post them for the world to see, can do that also, and those who want them rated also have the option. I guess thats why not everyone is compatible, and there are only a few that are actually good for each of us. | |

Posted: 2/14/2007 9:07:48 PM | | this is a major no way !!!!! on a given day I may sort through 2-300 womens photos only to write to 2 or 3 at best ....so with these odds what are the chances of picking a winner with no picture !!!!! never happen .... | |

Posted: 2/15/2007 5:56:39 AM | | I would correspond but I feel after a couple weeks you really should have a picture. You have to have a little physical attraction to someone. I like to think i'm all about personality but I know chemistry does matter a little bit. I wouldn't meet anyone unless I knew what they looked like. I just think you should have a picture and a full name when meeting anyone from online. Just for safety if nothing else. I once had a really bad experience with someone online that didn't give me a photo or full his name. I met him anyways at a coffee shop. Never again will I not have that sort of information. But I'm a girl it might be different for a man. | |

Posted: 2/15/2007 7:18:07 AM | | I probably would if their profile interested me. A picture is just a picture what are you afraid of?? They might not like my looks?? Looks are not everything. It's what's in that persons heart and soul I look at. | |

Posted: 2/15/2007 7:30:22 AM | Profiles without photos say to me, I don't want you to know what I really look like. I don't want you to see me. I know it cuts my chances of anyone responding by 75% I'm not a serious about this, so why would should I care. | |

Posted: 2/15/2007 9:04:53 AM | Well YES I Would! But of course I would say that since I don't have a pic. My reasoning for that is, How would that look, this career woman has her picture plastered on the internet for all to see. Would you want to do business with me? I live in a fairly nice size town, eveyone knows everyone. I don't want ppl knowing tht much about me. Also I am not opposed to meeting in person, if we get to know eachother and the connection is there, And even if I sent u a pic there is no guarantee, that is a pic of me. No I wouldn't do that but it has been done to me. I actually met a guy who sent me a pic that had to be like 10 years old if that was even him and when I met him, it was really scary. So I have learned, never judge a book by its pic, lol. Pics can only show so much. But this is not to say I haven't had a pic or will never have one in the future but if I send u a pic, then I must really like u or wht I know of u, I would simply rather meet in a nice public place. By the way I hav only met 2 ppl in person, so I dont take that lightly either. GOOD LUCK to all! | |

Posted: 2/15/2007 3:15:57 PM | You know I've been thinking about this photograph thing.
If you're not posting your picture because of your job, or because of your community I can fully understand - that makes sense.
I didn't want to post a photo. I don't want everyone to see that I'm a little brown man. I'm soooo much more, I'm a little brown man with tattoo's LOL. I wanted someone to read my profile and think - wow - that's someone I'd like to meet.
Anyway the point is I think it takes courage to put yourself out there. In my opinion it equates to honesty, this is me, this is who I am.
If you have a photo - Kudo's to you, I know what you went through when you put yourself out there. | |

Posted: 2/26/2007 11:51:14 AM | | Too funny.....I'd like to know what makes everyone think the photo would be a recent one anyways....or ya think they'd post a pic of themselves with a runny nose, bad hair day, first thing in the morning, right out of the shower, etc?.....Lol....I think not....Yet isn't that also a part of the real person's everyday life?...I've only met one person on here that looked exactly like their photo.....so I'll cast my votes with the interesting profile side | |

Posted: 10/2/2008 8:17:19 PM | michkat. The person in the picture doesn't mean that is who you are chatting with. I had a bad experiance with that. A woman used her sisters picture. If you seen her you would know why shhe did that.  If you can see them on a webcam, who is typing back to you.? I keep thinking one day that someone will meet someone without a picture or using someone elses picture, something bad will happen. There are some strange people out there. Be careful girls.  | |

Posted: 10/2/2008 8:18:48 PM | | I know from what i have gleened over time about men and pics is most just want to make sure your not shall i say it..over weight...and..i dont blame any one if that is a deal breaker for them, we are all entitled to our preferences...I dont ( personally) care if its just chatting...I can yack to any one and have...i do how ever not want to waste any one elses time..In my case..I am tall..and if your a man who likes small petite gals..well..to each his own..i say...I may not be that..but can debate and yack till the cows come home if you want..But if its a thing where your trying to figure out if you want to meet or not...well..pics might be the way to go...I have seen some I suspect are married and therefor cant very well post a pic for fear the cat will be out of the perverbial bag...But...if someone is hell best on deception..they will always be one step ahead of you because they are skilled at deception...I for one am not going to loose sleep about that..it all comes out in the wash..and...the fact they never seem to be able to meet or find one excuse after another is a dead give away...JMO | |

Posted: 10/3/2008 2:58:15 AM | Nope...no picture, no talk. I don't understand people who don't post a pic. This is a dating site, pics should be mandatory. That way there's no surprises (usually)
My philosophy is that there needs to be a certain attraction...and I can't have that if I don't have clue what they look like.
I don't want to spend lots of time talking and getting to know someone only to find he has three heads and there won't be any attraction beyond talking. If he's hiding what he looks like...what else is he hiding? Just my own little humble opinion. | |
