Posted: 9/1/2006 9:20:12 PM | | Nice job Riick, I was wondering when someone was going to end the "I'm not technologically inclined" excuse. 10 dollar camera, 7 dollar CD and bang! 27 pics of yourself to select from. Priceless! No pic means not in it for real. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 6:09:47 AM | I been reading these mssages and it shows the people without pictures defending and people with pictures on the offensive. which is likely to happen. but remember the days where there was only chat like in AOL, there were still pervs and snobs etc..., so not having a picture because of pervs , doesn't mean they are not going to write you.
i believe a few that i read, like the person is married, politician, feel ugly,etc...
well fine thats there thing, but I also read the women write about them wanting to know what the guy looks like before meeting him. this is true. there have been cases of stalkers following people home etc...so everyone has there own reasons.
these are true events i talked to a woman that was really a guy and i found out from another guy who met him/her and found out the hard way. i met a girl who faked a picture and really shocked me, she said it was the only way to meet guys, well i walked away and never talked to her again. she is still around so watch it guys,  .
the best was when i met a lady who said she was 32 and a few extra pounds . her picture looked okay, nothing wrong with a little extra, lol. but i met her and she was 48 and 300 pounds, looked like she could be my mother, she told me that eventually someone would like her. hmmmmmmm. so i dont take anymore chances. i really feel stupid when someone lies to me and wanders why i get upset.
whats up with these "grammar" people , this a forum not a school house. so your good at grammar, and i'm a genius with computers, but i dont go around telling people they are computer illiterate. just my opinion.    | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 6:22:00 AM | Don't you think it is just nice to know who you are talking to regardless of why you are here? I have found that the ones who don't post pics are really hiding something. Men pose as younger guys . Women say they are thin when they are really fat as hell. Why not fess up and just post your pic? Most people want honesty from a potential partner or even just a friend. What are you afraid of???? It is what it is. UGLY, PRETTY, FAT, SKINNY whatever the case may be. Just post a pic so people can see who you are.  | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 6:47:05 AM | | For all those who decide to put their picture up, thats fine, its up to them!, us non-pics aren't making them do it! people look different in the flesh usually and if they like the sound of you they will be patient! | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 7:49:53 AM | I have mine posted... i have also tried with out it being posted, i receive just about the same amount of interest. I dont think i am a GQ model by any mean nor do i think i am some troll under a bridge. at first it was the " oh my god what if someone i know sees it" then i figured Fck em if they see it.
as far as gettign responses from those i send email to, that is a whole other topic in itself. and i am not about to retype my thoguths on that. just click on my name and check out my recent postings.
there are some people whom have careers that posting a picture here could be bad, example, police officers. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 8:18:40 AM | | Wow I totally agree with you..The reason I have no photo posted is..Isnt it optional to do so?I'm not trying to hide nothing.Second? If i did post one.Most people in here are also checking looks out too right?..Sure we all have standards.And no looks arent everything.I believe you should know the person first before you see a photo(If applicable?)Anyhow im here to make friends and nothing else..And if you are wondering?I'm fairly attractive..:) | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 12:15:02 PM | No picture means you're hiding SOMETHING.
For anyone who says otherwise, you're kidding right?
What kills me, is people who claim they don't want to be seen by their friends, collegues, family etc...as being ONLINE, much less a dating site...
WELL HELLO PEOPLE..IF YOU ARE SEEN ONLINE, THAT MEANS WHOEVER IS SEEING YOU ONLINE IS ALSO ONLINE and that, would be, the pot calling the kettle black
with all the people who do put their pics online, it for me, is a waste to bother with those who don't.
1) you've seen me, and it's only fair
2) I want to see who I am talking to. Period.
3) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So, even if you think you're ugy, fat, etc...there maybe someone out there who digs you...so why not give yourself that chance..?? | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 3:25:58 PM | | No youre wrong "anenigma" your name says it all!! a large portion of the people who upload their pics are VAIN! especially when they also put their pics up to be rated! and as for work colleagues.. a lot of them will go into these sites just to see who they can find that they know!...for a laff..Ive seen it myself. So yes, theyre hiding something..their identity, until they can send a picture privately to somebody of their choosing! | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 4:37:32 PM | | if you need to protect your identity may be a good reason. about technology you can buy a older digital cam for like $30. my cam is a old 2.0 mp my pics are ok. some people think their unattracive and dont post a pic.you have to meet someone at some point.so post a pic and let someone that likes you the way you are find you. i see there can be a problem with people who are more attractive their photos get them on favorites list of people they really dont want to talk to and get a ton of mail because of their pics. if you people would quit posting pics of your goodies you wouldnt get all that attention. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 5:48:27 PM | I must agree especially with anenigma, once you have been duped more than once it can only comes down to something is not right. but if you offer to send pictures and i say that meaning more than one, because its much easier to tell if the person is faking it or not. say what you want, but until you have been in my situation dont tell me anything. i tried to be mr. nice guy and ignore the " i dont have a picture because....." but i paid the price. i dont wanna hear " you had a few bad experiences" either. 3 no pics, 3 bad experiences. there is a 100% chance it will happen again.theres nothing wrong with getting prettied up either, there are people on here that take glamour shots. i use the ones i had from the opinion of girls on which ones looked okay. like anenigma pointed out, why worry about someone else, because what are they doing here. believe me online dating is the thing now a days. its not frowned upon, it actually makes millions of dollars. i will never ignore an email if it doesn't have a pic, but i will ask for some pix. i usually never get a response after that.
but its your option not to use a picture, but its also our option to ignore the person also.
so you gotta deal with it. everyone is attracted to someone, unless you have like 2 noses or an extra arm, i dont think you would get totally blown off if you have a good profile.
though a girl with an extra arm might interest me .    | |

Posted: 9/3/2006 11:01:01 AM | Well their could be many reasons that are decietful but it could be that they are just here for the forums. It could be that they are public figures. I certainly can respect politicians, police officers, teachers, and like professions not posting their picture. I have personally thought of removing mine for the above said reasons. But you do know that you can still upload your pictures to share through email without showing them publicly.
To anenigma's defense: This is a dating site....why wouldn't she show her best and try to be recognized? When you go to a job interview do you not give the best resume about your best qualities? Do you not get a haircut and dress in your best suit? The rating of a picture I think can be an instrumental tool for exposure and to find out what makes you look best.....My question is why do you judge a woman because she is attractive and popular? Do you know her heart? Princess Dianne was very attractive and popular. | |

Posted: 9/3/2006 2:44:04 PM | The Black Knight,
I agree with everythng you said. I did put a photo on here for one day. That was a laugh.
The comments I got was sicking. They offered to help me get back into the dating scene.
What the question should be on here is... Why nobody ever finds anyone on the dating sites.
I see the same people all the time. That tells me they are on here for one purpose, and that is to jump from one to another. Thats not what I am looking for. So, forget the photo's..
If anyone wants to talk to me, he can ask for a photo. I really like your essay... Thanks | |

Posted: 9/3/2006 2:48:16 PM | BurghBoy,
I'm laughing.. I guess the men get duped also.. The men are as bad as the women.
I don't have one on and I like it that way. If I find someone that I am interested in, I will send him a photo. Until, I wish you luck in your looking...Come to thin of it, I found a couple extra arms... Laughing | |

Posted: 9/3/2006 4:34:39 PM | Find someone who can read your profile and see looks as a nice compliment. Beauty should begin at the shoulders, looking at FACE value and deep within. Look at thoise without pictures as a Christmas Present that you know what it is inside, but you just can't wait to see how it's wrapped.
Love at first sight should begin inside and be complimented by whats outside. If it is anything else...well...it's not your heart thinking.
While I can't say this for the men, not posting pictures is SMARTER for the women. That's what 17 years of law enforcement suggests.
Check out the stats on internet date rape, I AM NOT ensinuating that such is a part of this site, only the old saying "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
Fall for that special person from the inside out and you may find answers to much.
Good luck and God Bless. | |

Posted: 9/4/2006 7:21:23 PM | | I agree with cuteone that it is only POLITE to show your face to the person you are contacting. I would like to ask all those people with NO PHOTOS how many people they contact with NO PHOTOS vs how many people they contact WITH PHOTOS...and do not lie about it. | |

Posted: 9/5/2006 11:12:41 AM | I did Post quite a few Pics on these dating sites but....!
Due to Nigerian Scammers copying an Pasting our Pics posing as AMERICANS .....!
I leave now but one!
But I do agree I like to see what a Guy if interested in me

I don't like meeting someone like a Blind date, and find out they don't take any Pride
in how they look...!
I'am not looking 4 a model as I'am not and their to stuck on themselves and conceited....!
But anyone on same Level know's what I mean...! | |

Posted: 9/5/2006 1:55:30 PM | | I don't trust men with no pics on a dating site. If your looking for love first thing you wanna know what the person looks like. Not saying it's all about looks but I wanna know. No pics and the first thing I think of is they got someone (just looking to cheat). I live in a small town and people comment to my about having pics on the interent all the time but I really don't care with some small minded people think about me. | |

Posted: 9/5/2006 4:12:21 PM | | i thought about taking my pictures off, I'm tired of retarted emails, "you're hot/ sexy" I dont care how u think i look, mention it and the mail is deleted. Be origional. | |

Posted: 9/5/2006 4:53:51 PM | | There is one thing I did want to say regarding this subject....Why is it that people who don't place there pics publicly don't put them on their private showing and send them via email? I do have to say that if I am talking to someone whom I can't see and they can't produce a pic by the 3rd email I find this very creepy.....I was stalked by someone on here who knew what I looked like and I didn't know what they looked like....I made the mistake of being to gullible. How would you like for someone to say they saw you at a supermarket and could describe what you were wearing yet they never made themselves known.....Thats creepy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And had me spooked for awhile. | |
