| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/5/2006 6:06:00 PM | 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 looks like, and has a pic to show 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 but I'am attractive! Also they think their this an that and then some....? 2 stuck on themselves and conceited....! But I will admit I was suppose to meet on 2 different occasion's 2 different guy's Locally whom had no pic...? But knew what I looked like from several pics! Well it made me feel like they were lurking at me cause I never did meet them! I said NEVER AGAIN will I do that 2 myself....!!  | |

| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/5/2006 6:34:08 PM | Ways to get a picture
1. Have a friend who has a digital camera take a pic and email it to you
2. Go to Walmart to develop your film and have it placed on a disk for your computer
3. Buy a video cam for your computer at walmart for about 29 dollars and show yourself on IM or have it take a picture.
4. Go to Staples or Office Max and scan your pics and have burnt on a disk
5. Go buy a cheap scanner for 40 dollars
6. If you want a real nice picture for a cheap price...Walmart does that too for $14.95 and you get one studio sitting.
Unless you are brand new to this site there is no reason you can't produce a picture and at least show through private email.
And I am sorry but I am a bit tired of the whiny B.S. that people who want to know what you look like being made out to be shallow. I think it is shallow and creepy when you can't produce one even privately. | |

| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/5/2006 6:56:32 PM | ITA w/ u....! Their r 2 many ways to send a pic to someone! And I feel if ur really serious about meeting someone to be a partner in ur life, then it's only rite to let them know what u look like, so they don't have this image of u, then be disappointed when they do meet u! Only makes for hurt feelings, and uncompfortable situation! To me it's all a combination when u meet someone, being a gentalman is one main trait! But also sorry, don't want to affebd anyone here! But I also expect someone to take pride how they look....?

| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/6/2006 10:43:03 AM | I really don't care how a guy looks. I do, however, refuse to date someone who won't post a photo, and the reason is clearly posted in my profile. I don't date married men (and I hate scammers.)
Regardless of what y'all say, probably 90 some odd percent of people who won't post a photo on this site have ONE REASON for not doing so-- they're afraid of getting caught by their spouse.
Having said that, I think half the guys who won't post photos can't read either. I still get emails from the idjits.
As to the 2% who won't post their photo because of other reasons-- when are you going to learn that the sexiest part of a partner is his (or her) brain? | |
|
| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/6/2006 2:06:48 PM | Most of the posts on here are very true and quite accurate. However, there is only one reason I don't post my photo. Those is because I ran for public office and intend on running for higher offices and really feel that posting my photo can be damaging to me being taken seriously about the office I may seek. I’m caught between a rock and a hard place as I want to meet a woman and develop a relationship but at the same time I’m a political activist and want to make some changes to help every one. Like the person who talked about small town's folk for me it could be disastrous as I might list what or I’m attracted to and some would feel I would be judgmental to others; but if you looked past that photo you would discover that I’m completely open minded and would not feel like one group of people are less than another. Another big reason I chose not to post is because I’m mixed although people only see what they want and because I have black heritage some would not even respond to me or get to now me because they feel I’m black. Little do they know I’m also American Indian and Italian that really makes me more like the Heinz 57 so many people claim about themselves. But unless you talk to me you will never know that. And while I find it appalling that people are still racially divided; sorting out those who would not like me simply because my skin is darker than theirs is part of my reasoning for the hesitation in posting. In a thought I wonder why these (mostly white) women feel its so unacceptable to date a guy of another skin color yet most tan and try to take on a darker skin tone. Some say things like its just my family would not accept me dating a different race but I wonder if they accept her being happy for herself or is it all about them being happy with her choices I know acceptance is important but happiness trumps acceptance. But back to the photo thing no matter what the reason people chose to or not to put a photo up is personal and while some are being deceptive others have very good reasons for not doing it but for those who claim not having the proper equipment or time to do it I think those are the real phonies because with all the different ways to do it now, any nine year old can get a photo up on line. It doesn’t take much and it’s nice if the site supports private photos so you can allow only those you chose to see your photo. | |

| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/6/2006 2:53:13 PM | | I agree with alot of these posts. I was very hesitant to put my picture on here. I do not like my picture taken. I have never liked it. I am a very confident woman, but just do not like my own picture. I think it's up to the individual, and if they don't have a pic just ask for one. To begin with, a picture is just that, if someone doesn't contact me because of my picture, then they weren't worth it anyway. I am no model, I have extra pounds, but I love myself and that is what counts. | |

| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/7/2006 10:07:51 AM | | Sadly Debbie, life isn't fair. Personally, I choose not to post a picture. I have one available for anyone who wishes to see it. I prefer they peruse my profile, and if they are still interested in seeing what I look like, then I will send a recent photograph. I hope this clears things up for you. | |
|
| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/8/2006 1:18:00 PM | at this stage of the game, I really don't care regarding MY profile or photo. I know mine may look average, but women dig me anyway.
BUT, I DO care about their photo...as it I WANT TO SEE SEVERAL. I have done this long enough to have learned a good many things...and one of the biggest is that NO ONE LOOKS LIKE THEIR PHOTO
I have met some mediocre gals that were totally soooooo cool and pretty it was a good thing I didnt judge their pics...and I have also met several who photograph incredibly well but look very different in person. Now that is all good and well but until I meet in person, I am not going to really know what someone is like. | |
|
| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/8/2006 4:38:54 PM | | I agree! Why don't people post their pictures? And old pictures are cheating! If someone doesn't post their picture, I automatically delete their email because I feel the same way as you Debbie...why do they get to see me when I can't see them? | |

| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/8/2006 8:01:12 PM | I've been asking that myself !!
If you are looking for a pen pal or just someone to chat with- a pic isn't necessary- although even then, it's fun to see the face of the person you are talking to - but...
If you are looking to meet new people with dating in mind...YOU NEED A PICTURE...Granted.. none of us are supermodels.. but unless you are running from the law or a "signifigant other' or you have 3 eyes... there aren't many reasons to have a profile without a pic.
If I can't see the person who is writing to me, I rarely answer. If the person can't be genuine enough to post a picture, how can I trust them to be honest with me.
I understand- not everyone has a digital camera.. etc- but if you take a pic with a regular camera.. take the film to walmart etc.. you can get your pictures on a disk. You then install the picture on your computer and then you can upload it a site that stores your pictures for free (If you can't upload directly) Snap fish is a good site to use.
So now all of the people who say they don't have a way to get a picture onto the web have a way to do so... | |
|
| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/9/2006 5:20:13 PM | I do not post my pic because I am a discreet bi-female. Many of my friends and family know I am bi, but my coworkers do not know and neither does my son. If they found out (especially my son) it would be very uncomfortable (for them, not for me). So, I choose to only send my pic to those who I may end up meeting or chatting with. It is my right to do so. If someone doesn't want to chat with me before they see my pic, then that is their loss.
Just answering the question....

| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/9/2006 6:42:51 PM | | I just don't see the need to post my personal business in the public eye. People can be so Judgemental... If someone shows an interest, I will add a pic to my reply, and I always add a pic when making the first contact. Its not like I am keeping it a secret from anyone who is serious about this kind of thing......... | |

| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/9/2006 7:38:17 PM | Here we go again. Same old ?????, just by different types. So there,s your answer. Count how many times this same ??? has been asked, and then count how many different types asked it, but then , and this might take a while, or mabey no time at all, because it,s still the same answer, no matter how many times you read it.

I know a couple that were married that actually met after talking through e-mails on here. they never spoke on the phone but decided to meet one night, well as it turned out both people were actually married to each other,
Someone made a song about this.... the chorus goes :
"if you like pina` colada's and getting caught in the rain
blah blah blah... it's an old 70's song. Don't know the title of it though LOL! | |
|
| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/13/2006 6:22:11 PM | OMG sassy, that is too funny.........i would never look for a relationship other than friends if i were married. i'm separated, but if i was married and had a pro on here without my hubby, he would shoot me unless he's included in the pic and we're both looking for FRIENDS ONLY.
@btrfly.........hey hun, that's your perogative on your sexual preference not your co workers. how many of them sleep on one side of the bed? how many of them slept on both sides of the bed? as for your son, if he's not old enough to understand i wouldn't say anything but if he is old enough to understand about sex and sexual preferences i would be honest and explain to him. if your parents know your preference and support you in your decision then have them sit with you while you tell your son. it's best that he knows about it instead of hearing about it through the grapevine (rumours). hearing things other than straight from the horses mouth is more harmful than anything..................
@ben1.......good luck in office, now, what are you running for so i can watch for ya?
@crystal........you look beautiful for your age, i only hope i look as good as you do in 20 years.
now, back on the topic.....there are many reasons why poeple don't put a pic in their profile, some won't even send you a pic if you ask for it. hiding from the authority (courts), false identity (scams), don't have a camera (digital or web), can't afford to buy one or have their pics taken (department stores), new to the area and don't know anyone that can do it for them, extra-marital affairs, or sexual preferences. some pics in profiles are outdated (2 years & up), people tend to change of the years and either are ashamed of what they look like or just never had a chance to update their pic. i myself have been keeping my pics up to date. i think that it's the best thing to do and everyone can see differences in me. i also prefer more of a natural pose vs. a professional pose, they just look too fake. i would never dismiss talking to anyone just because they do not have a pic in their pro, i just wouldn't meet them or i would meet them during the day and in a public place (mall). | |

| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/14/2006 5:08:08 AM | | i always thought it doesnt matter what u look like. people say i want honesty and caring sense of humor and if somebody has all of that but oh u dont look a certain way sorry. you should talk to them and get to know them most people on here wont give u a chance if they see ur picture first. | |
|
| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/14/2006 4:44:41 PM | | I only put mine on becauae I like this site. I dont put my photo on alot of other sites I belong to because I hardly visit them and I know alot of people on them who arent necessarily discreet. Ive talked to and gotten responses from more women here than alot of other sites. I usually dont put my photo up for privacy reasons. I dont mind sending a photo to a woman upon request. | |

| For those who don't have pictures...why? Posted: 9/17/2006 7:15:59 PM | Since you attacked me and continued to attack me for several days with lies...I'll post exactly word for word what happened and what you sent to me so that others can see the fake ass you are.
Starting now...the entire converstation between us will be posted as follows... the ENTIRE conversation. not a single word left out on either side.
The first and ONLY contact I EVER had with you was one night bored just reading profiles of those online and read your profile that said,
you are a 50/50 tranny that hated smokers ... this was the first contact I made and the last...all else is from you.
Sent from me to you.

My phone number is 717-233-6111. Call me . I really want to know.
I thought about blocking you, but instead, I am saving your email and reporting your insult plenty of fish. ..............................................................................................................................
I did not reply and then you sent the following..and began posting on several sites including this one, your lies... I don't care but I think others might wish to see the truth since you made public my name here : )

I read YOUR profile and you smoke! I SEE...
You are a monkey boy who couldn't resist the lure of the tobacco media, and now you are frustrated and angry at yourself for being a scanky, stanky smoker.

pretty particular for a 50/50 tranny
I have thought about it, and since my profile has received over 50,000 hits in a year, and I am on a hundred favorite's lists, I think it's time to close my profile. But I'm going to go in style.
I'm going to change my profile to read the following:
Headline: DUANE130 is GAY!
"Imagine how surprised I was when DUANE130 contacted me for sex, thinking I am a trans sexual! Well, if anyone knows a gay transvestite, please refer them to DUANE130. He has made some suggestions as to what he wants you to do to him"
I figure Plenty of Fish might not like this, so, I'll just leave it up there until they make me take it down...do like it? ..............................................................................................................................
Then again a message from you
