Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?Page 107 of 110    (70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110)
Ok so, being one of those people without a picture, it probably makes no sense that I say I won't talk to people who don't have a picture. However, I do have private ones, and I'm willing to send them to people if they ask, and they actually seem like they are who they say they are. Makes me wonder if that's better for some people? Would THAT make a difference? If they said they had private ones? Probably not much... as I have observed, but it makes me wonder why that is then.

So after posting my previous comment I decided to post my pic for a very short time. My inbox got flooded and every message started with a comment on my looks....I asked the first 3 if they read my profile and all the said no they just looked at my pic and decided to message me then and there. I mean come on.

@ Brown3y3dGirl85

yup it's true no reading just oh look at the pics ok email..nice tits or mmm sexi i would luv to see those lips on my c ock how about hey nice smile or whats ur name to start off your already shooting urself in the foot an this is the first email dam.

i had a guy yesterday make a comment about well i thought thats what you wanted i said obviously you didnt read my profile other wise you would have never thought that in the first place..

i gotta admit im starting to skim over reading mens profiles hell half the time most of it is either not filled out or they say i hate typing or ask me anything or it reads like a fairytale an then the truth comes out that they only want quickies an random women to bang or they do have a wife or girlfriend an that they do have kids with multiple women so whats the point most are lying.. lastnite after chatting with a guy who claimed to be single found out he an his baby mama lives together along with the 2 kids wow once agian info that should be out there..

And in so doing, you proved one of my points. Just because you didn't have a pic (when you didn't have one), that didn't mean you were ugly. Obviously, far from it. Which means that you were a very attractive woman with no pic. But those who focus only on pics would have by-passed you.

For me the photo will decide if I read their profile or not. If I dont like it then i wont read their profile. If I do I'll read their profile. If I manage to get to the end of what they've written and Im still interested then I'll message them.

For me the photo is the ''lure'' if you will You've still got to hook them with your personality.

How does the saying go A picture is worth a thousand words.

You can tell alot about someone from a photo. And im not talking about if their attractive or not. Are they smiling ? The photo's they've chosen. The cloths their wearing. Where they are in the photo. Who their with etc. Have they made sure every photo is flawless or have they posted a photo of them having fun and not posed etc .

I find this NEVER ending "debate" quite funny...........and STUPID because there will NEVER be a unanimous agreement on what is "pic right" or "no-pic wrong".

The IRONY is that many say they MUST know how the person looks before they meet...........how else would they know who to look for? YET!!! How many threads have been started about the false pictures? "He/she was NOTHING like their pic"......."They admitted it was their third cousins half-brother/sister twin's best friends picture"........."Wouldn't have even know it was them except that they approached me because I look like my pic's"............blah, blah, BLAH! ;)

The irony being that those of "you" that INSIST on pic's before a meet don't have any more assurance that that person is anymore "real" then meeting someone that doesn't post a pic.

I think my REAL point is........continue with the choices you've made for yourself (as we all should)! But you don't sound turribly smert when using that (il)logic.

To be honest... I have met quite a few men who have not posted a picture ....AND... I must say, each and every one of them were lookers......some of which remain friends today....

if they don't have a pic, i automatically assume the worst.

if you are in the bottom 2% of the look departments, you may benefit from my assumption that you are 300 pounds with abnormal facial features and some teeth missing.

however, if you are in the other 98%, you are in all cases better off putting up a photo.

I haven't gone and met up with anyone without a picture.
I'd be willing to, provided they are able to keep my interest.

All the messages I've received from people without pictures in the past have been generic and boring, "hey wats up?" with poor spelling and grammar.
Which is why I now have my setting to "people with pictures only."

But reading this has kind of made me consider changing my settings to see what comes of it.

I have no picture on this site and I have met men, some who do have a picture and some who don't......no great love yet but some really nice, fun to chat with, gentlemen. I think men are more visual than women so they more often than not, want a picture...........but a picture means NOTHING based on horror stories I've heard about posted pictures......picture taken 10 years ago, someone else's picture, weight gain since picture and on and on. A picture is one dimensional.....it tells me very little; it's a person's face that gives me the most information....does the other person smile with their eyes as well as their mouth or just with their mouth????

If only all of the women on here, and all online dating sites, shared your viewpoint.

The same thing happened to me. I hadn't changed one word of my profile but minutes after I posted my pics, I had received a slew of emails based on my pics alone. It's slightly discouraging to encounter men's shallowness up close, we all know it exists, but that little social experiment makes it so obvious.

I haven't ever met up with anyone without eventually seeing their picture prior to the meeting, but I'll surely correspond with people without pics based on what they have in their profile and what they say in email/chat.

He told me he was not unattractive, he said the same thing your guy did, didn't want his book judged by his cover as well. He was very smart and I like intelligent men. Like you, I figured if nothing else, I would learn something.

I washed my car, did my nails, took a shower, lotioned, powdered and perfumed my body, rolled my hair, put my makeup on, picked out a really nice dress and heels and arrived ten minutes early.

He walked in 15 minutes late, wearing flip flops, ketchup on his wrinkled shirt, swim shorts and a ripped up cap on his head.

He picked the restaurant...a nice one. He rowed over in his kayak...nice of him.

^^^^ I'm sorry Oneway but your post made me laugh! He rowed over in his KAYAK? :)

That could be fun for a later "date" but not a first meet. Maybe the gas prices got him down?

dating in the dark .> a reality show where ppl meet virtually in the dark..This reality show ask the question - Is Love Blind? Six daters get to know each other without seeing each other.. interesting concept like the blind fold..we are forced to listen observe and uses our other senses..while on line we can become close to ppl..in reality we do need the closeness to surprise us, enchant us..to what mayb we might have imagined..

Absolutely not. A couple years ago before I realized how insane Kragslist is (I have to change the spelling to post this here) a guy probably in his 60's wrote to me without a pic. I refused to consider him and after some time he finally sent a photo and I kid you not..he was nightmareish. I was actually stunned at how scary this guy looked. After I told him (politely) I wasnt interested he said "hot women like how I look."


Um, no they don't.

Although I've never met up with someone who didn't post a pic, I've had 3 good experiences with women who have contacted me, all having hidden profiles and hidden pictures. The worst thing you can do it discuss why she has no pics and a hidden profile and it's best to ignore the fact and just start emailing and getting to know the person. After a few days, you can tell how intelligent a person is and what type of personality they have and be completely unbiased by their physical appearance..... After a short time, she inevitably asks the question.. "So aren't you interested in seeing my picture?", or something like that and the response is always "I'm a little curious, but it's really not that important".

I've never been disappointed when they do reveal a picture.

My theory is there are a lot of very attractive women on this site that simply can't post a picture because they don't want to be inundated by leghumpers. They don't have the time to weed through 100s of emails from jerks. A true alpha type female will chose to contact a person that interests her.
