Posted: 9/16/2006 10:14:33 AM | To reboot. I realize digital camera or a dime a dozen but all people can't understand them. I'm one I know. I have two cheap ones and I can't tell you what is on them so it would be bad to post a picture of my friend's pigs.

Posted: 9/16/2006 10:19:18 AM | Well said..... Like I have said before why not start with the heart of a person and not just a pic which a lot of them aren't real on POF anyway.... Trying to find the right person to date doesn't not just pertain to ones pic.... | |

Posted: 9/17/2006 6:05:05 AM | | Oh, I thought of another reason why people wouldn't put their photo up..... They're MARRIED, or in a commited relationship, and don't want their significant other/wife/husband to find out!!!! | |

Posted: 9/19/2006 10:48:42 AM | Oh, c'mon. Anyone can go on the internet and find a picture of their favorite model and post it as one of their pictures like so many others do...  | |

Posted: 9/19/2006 2:09:11 PM | Several reasons;
1. Most people over 30 consider it unusual to date on the internet, therefore some people
want to remain unidentified.
2. Users are married, like me, and don't want anyone to know.
3. Users are ugly. | |

Posted: 9/19/2006 7:42:07 PM | Hi
There are numerous reasons why individuals choose not to post a photo. As for myself its not for everyone to see, this may sound harsh however not intended.
Furthermore a pic does not gurantee you a cordial conversation, happiness, a dinner date, heaven, the actual person in the photo etc.....theres always that possibility of getting someone handsome or attractive, but underneath its Mr or Ms SATAN...as you are aware at the inception of any budding friendship / relationship normally you put your best foot forward, and you don't know what will come out the closet later.
Too many people place an enormous amount of emphasis on features, no human is UGLY....because there are things on the market to make you look decent and presentable....those who choose to let themselves go down is another story.
If an individual have no pic posted, but are willing to forward a pic if the need arises....give them the same respect as those who post pic's....
Everyones physical make-up are different, and if there is no requirement to post a pic, let the individual utilize that right in deciding... | |

Posted: 9/19/2006 7:43:17 PM | | it is simple----10% of the time girls are married and don't want a pic there....20% of the time they are afraid someone from work will recognize them there, but the additional 70% of the time is becacuse they are just plain fat! | |

Posted: 9/20/2006 5:28:35 PM | This is not to you personally babiegirl..but to a majority of people on this thread. Beauty comes from within, looks fade but how you are does not. I might not be the most beautiful person on the outside, but dam beautiful on the inside.
SHALLOW, SHALLOW, SHALLOW...and as far as the married ones, shame on you for cheating. Get out of the marriage if all you want to do is cheat. | |

Posted: 9/20/2006 8:49:16 PM | | okay, if I have the depth, intelligence or whatever to make a judgement as to whether a person might be a potential match by what their profile says only, then give me credit for being able to do the same knowing what they look like. The truth is taht I don't care who you are looks do matter. Maybe to varying degrees, but they still matter. I met someone online who turned out to be a great person, but I simply was not at all attracted to her. Someone who describes body type as average, with no pic,,,,,,,, this can mean almost anything. People who put up a pic of someone else are just idiots & I don't know how to eliminate that. They're just around . I am who I am, looks & all. What makes one think people are completely honest in describing themselves? Truth is you ultimately have to judge both IN PERSON! So hey, post one & be honest about who you are in all ways, and with yourself too! | |

Posted: 9/20/2006 9:20:59 PM | | I think some people mostly women won't to see if they are liked just because they are hot or for who they are. However guys you know like I do some women are just so damn fine they attract every normal guy plus every nut case out there. But in the end I have to agree there should be some physical attraction to start with and women can always block the morons. But A rare but true cause is probably some people are just so ashamed of their looks the only way the can talk to some people is by not having a picture posted at all. of course thats just my opinion I could be wrong but it is highly unlikely. LOL | |

Posted: 9/21/2006 3:45:49 AM | Let's all be realistic. Looks do matter to a certain degree... at least to everyone that I know. What is shallow is to ONLY look at physical appearance and discard everything else if the physical side isn't perfect... or finding every little flaw and blowing it way out of proportion.
Physical attraction is important, however it is only one of many attributes of a person that can be attractive. I will admit, I have to be physically attracted to someone (at least at a certain level). That alone doesn't make a match, it takes personality, intelligence, wit, adventure and a variety of other things. Physical appearance is just one ingredient to someone that is overall attractive to me.
Wanting to see a picture does not make a person shallow alone... completely judging a person on physcial appearance may.
With regards to people that post pictures that are poses from years ago, poses that show them in some incredible, unrealistic lighting, or poses of their hot friends and then having someone being disappointed when they meet in person doesn't make that other person shallow. Why would someone want to have a relationship with someone who is either deceptive of a flat out fraud?!? | |

Posted: 9/22/2006 8:11:32 AM | | Now that aint true. There's all kinds of stuff you can do now-a-days. I tend to be attracted to a woman whom exudes a confident look, but that usually comes from someone who takes care of her self. Where alot of women tend to fool themselves is thinking they can lay around on the couch eating bon bons & patatoe chips and think they just got it going on. For those of you who may have a propencity toward being fat & lazy. It aint working! Try some crunches combined with a walk around the block etc etc. | |

Posted: 9/22/2006 1:11:41 PM | | I agree, looks can be important, but not the only thing than makes a woman attractive. Without whats on the inside, the physical appearance is meaningless. But it is ussually the physical appearance that draws us to begin with. | |

Posted: 9/22/2006 8:22:02 PM | | One thing I forgot to say. Maybe 2. I was married to a woman who had a great body, good looking, the kind that got looks at the club & all that. That was great, but her personallity, or what it became actually cancelled all that out. A few sad guys that came along after me found that out. But an important reality is that for the most part a pic is the doorway most come thru to notice your profile. Think about it, after reading literally hundreds they all start running together & very few are unique. We all look for the same thing for the most part, just in different containers. What looks you have been given is all you are ever gonna get & I believe there is someone out there for everybody. So don't be ashamed of what God made you look like. You might just be what somebody has been looking for, and isn't that a good thing? | |

Posted: 9/23/2006 8:06:48 AM | | Well, I have seen some pics online and thought "Ok" only to find that the guy looked nothing like the pic.....no teeth, no hair, no job, lives with Mom....etc....so a pic is not always what it seems, but I agree it does help.....just wish I could meet one honest guy that won't be a dud when we meet....some real losers out there | |
