Just kidding - this is an interesting post. I am entertained by all the different positions? But, DUNEDIN - you might be a touch demanding, judgemental? Maybe like I am being with my observation? lolol  | |

Posted: 8/26/2006 5:33:08 AM | yes, I can give you a valid reason why not to post a picture with the profile--you can still send a pic with your email when beginning to communicate with a possible "date"--also it has occured that prospective "employers" have "browsed" dating sites and so on..have you read the articles within the last few weeks about that subject?...a little uncomfortable to say the least...peace,take care ,
good luck on your search | |

Posted: 8/27/2006 9:15:04 AM | There are so many valid reasons people do not post a pic.
1. public figures who do not want their face all over a dating site
2. don't have one yet
3. are not interested in someone who is looking only for physical attraction
I talk to anyone interesting with or without a picture. Physical appearance is unimportant if they have a beautiful soul *smile. At some point a picture is good to put a face with the person you are developing a friendship with. | |

Posted: 9/1/2006 6:15:29 AM | | I will be honest when I am scanning through doing a search I automatically skip by those without pictures. It is just nice to know if you are physically attracted to someone at least at first. I know everyone will say that is shallow, but I think it is just human nature. I will talk to someone without a picture, but I just kind of count them out when I am looking around the site. I don't even think about it anymore, it is just automatic to scroll past those without pics. It is just easier to know whom you are dealing with from the beginning I think. | |

Posted: 9/5/2006 7:57:30 PM | It always amazes me when I see men spouting the PC lines, like... shallow... barbie... it's what's on the inside that counts... etc...
Why are these men still here? I could very easily find a nice lady who is entirely compatible personalitywise... but physically unattractive to me. In fact, I have found many of them online. Why can't they? What's on the inside is the easy part. Could it be that they are shallow, too? Could it be that they want physical attraction, too? Could it be that they are just saying what they think the ladies want to hear? Is that what's it's all about... sucking up?

Posted: 9/5/2006 9:08:32 PM | | Quite simple! Having a photo is a guarantee to receive plenty of responses from people who do not read profiles. For me, it eliminates people who do not read. For example, when I said I was looking for someone with a healthy life style, meaning do not smoke and drink heavily and etc., I would get email from people who are far from it, like heavy smoker and everything else under the sun. I'm talking about hundreds of email I have to go through to find someone with compatible life style and similiar values. That's a full time job I don't have the time for. | |

Posted: 9/7/2006 8:07:02 AM | May just be looking for some one to talk to online without really wanting to meet people in real life? I dunno, it is wierd no doubt.
It is definitly preferable to see who you "may" be speaking with on here, but still some still photo isn't any real guarantee but its better than a blank screen, I agree. | |

Posted: 9/12/2006 4:33:10 AM | I need to rescind my first response. I thought I had grown and matured in a way that looks didn't matter...I was wrong. This guy I was seeing I had talked to many weeks on the phone before meeting. Had "visions of grandeur" thinking his intelligence and charm would override anyway he might've looked like.
I was shocked when I first met him, he looked like an old man. stating he was only 50 and did turn out to be someone I wasn't interested in after all. He was nothing of who he claimed he was and I was truly disappointed. So to get back to the thread... I have learned within myself that attraction is the name of the game first...then personality traits, charm, wit, etc...so live and learn!!  | |

Posted: 9/13/2006 10:08:26 AM | Can I tell you how many guys send me their cut-n'-paste "You have beautiful eyes - let's meet" fishing line - EVEN WHEN I HAVE NO PICTURE UP? The ones who can keep my interest for more than a few e-mail exchanges, sight unseen -- well, they're the only ones w/ a chance of seeing these beautiful eyes in person.  | |

Posted: 9/19/2006 8:43:26 AM | ^^^ yeah thats pretty sad how people jump to conclusions without having any facts. I once had a screen name on AOL that was about Tony Hawk (skateboarding) and everyone just assumed I was some guy because "Tony" was in my screen name.
I had fun with that at times and whats even funnier is that when I'd tell them I was a girl they wouldn't believe me! lol. Ah well people are gonna believe what they wanna believe. | |

Posted: 9/24/2006 12:26:47 PM | I am an early childhood facilitator in south Lakeland and I have a policy not to post my photo online not because I am trying to hide anything but for the safety of the children in my class. Last year I met a man online (on a different site) and after we dated a while he was investigated for molesting his daughter. A couple of months ago I was contacted by another man who seemed interested in my job and what I do; I dropped him and the conversation due to the bad vibes. A couple of months later, I saw him on the news. He had been arrested in a sting for trying to persuade a woman to allow him to have sex with her two-year-old. Yuck! This is why I choose not to put my photo online. If some sicko sees me in public after seeing my photo and what my profession is, it is not hard for them to find out where I work and therefore puts the families I work with at risk. | |

Posted: 9/24/2006 12:39:51 PM | well i post my photo even though i work with kids...
one thing I discourage people from doing is posting photos of their kids...this is like advertisements to pervs...even a guy posting photos of his kids...other men are looking at your profile too, not just women...and there are women pedophiles as well...so be careful...I've met two men online whose photos are on the sexual predator site...one tried giving me a sob story about how the girl lied about her age...the other i'm sure would have some lame excuse...i still see him out when i go dancing sometimes...it's all i can do not to confront him...the internet has opened up a whole new world for the pedophiles...its so easy now for them to find kids...
be careful...keep your kids safe...dont post their photos...and if someone seems to interested in your kids right off...you might want to back off...when my daughter was younger, anyone showing too much interest in her, was a NO NO...i'd stop talking to them immediately...the only thing they needed to know was i had a daughter and she wasn't a part of my dating life...if the relationship gets more serious...then maybe....i'm glad she is an adult now...but i still worry for all the other kids out there....
i wish pedophiles and predators would get the death penalty, they cause so much harm...and ruin innocent lives | |

Posted: 9/24/2006 2:02:54 PM | | No one likes to see who they are corresponding with more than I do. However I understand there are legitimate reasons for some people not to post pictures. If I was a teacher, coach or in another profession that severed the public, I'd have to weigh in on the side of caution. It has been my experience that when I have asked, all of these people send me their picture through my personal email address. Understanding and maybe some role reversals might be needed here. | |

I can relate to that, but anyone can just post a picture to keep someone happy about the "no picture" complaints. Doesn't mean it of them. If they wanna show you their pic, they will in their own time. Badgering is just gonna get people either blocked or lied to just to get you off their backs (so to speak). | |

Posted: 10/4/2006 11:24:54 AM | There are many reasons for a man not to post besides being married or have a top secret job.
For example, a man may hold a job as a professor and doesn't feel appropriate for any of his students to come across their professor's picture on the internet. Inappropriate conduct, if you will, can be a good reason. Also, you may never know on the internet, where your picture may end up, do you? So, please think outside the box! | |
