No. If you can't show me your picture then you likely have confidence issues.

I reply to every lady who writes to me. I will also exchange emails and have fun with any lady who writes to me. I am not on here to only talk with a lady that i feel can benefit me directly with a date, or here just to meet a woman...or have a chance to meet a woman. This is a social environment. They same when I am out in public. I will befriend or chat with any person, looks and attraction have zero to do with it.
BUT!! meeting some one for the purpose to see if there is a spark of romance well then a picture is a good idea. I have met a couple of ladies with no picture up front and it has been the same each time. Very over weight ladies. Now I do live in an area where a woman can fairly say she is average and is a big gal. This is an over weight part of the country. So no pic no meeting.

Been there, done that. Upon seeing my "date", the question "am I going to get raped/killed" was constantly running in my mind.
I wish I had the luck like OP did :'[

Well, since my last post on this thread a few years ago...I have actually met a few that didn't have pics. It was kind of the same as the last post. Most were not what I consider attractive, yet one was like my dream girl so I'll continue to take my chances.

i agree with u 100%. dating isn't what it used to be all those years ago. it was so much easier back then. i wouldn't meet anyone without a picture let alone click on profiles without a picture. it makes me think they have something to hide. you never know what you'll stumble upon. it's smarter to play it safe and trust your instinct.

No photo is typically two things...

1) They think they are totally unattractive and/or insecure about posting themselves. Not an easy thing for everyone to do especially if they hate their photos or hate themselves in photos.

2) Married or has a girlfriend/boyfriend and doesn't want to be caught. Unfortunately this happens alot with both men and women

In today's day and age its very easy to have a photo online. As a photographer I provide those services for people who want great photos at really affordable prices. It really does make a difference if you have someone who is good take your photo. Its not as easy as people think to get GREAT photos but if you can have it happen. I hear it all the time that I hate myself in photos or I hate having my photo taken BUT after they get to work with me they have a great time, lots of laughs, a mini adventure and get some awesome photos too!

Also people use their cell phones or have their pocket cameras to make it possible. They might be bad photos but they still have that ability to use them. Keep in mind having really good photos can make a big difference in your profile so that might help them in getting past #1.

Basically if they don't post something of themselves its usually #1 or #2. Its always good to be precatious about people being married. It happens alot but you can eventually find out by reading the signs.

I have met people without a picture, after a few emails. If I like their profile and they are local. An hour at a coffee shop with someone you are not attracted to is not the end of the world. Even after seeing pictures, I have met some women and I knew within 5 minutes it wasn't going to work. I am sure there have been women who felt the same way about me. Its all part of the adventure...

Actually, two of the hottest women I've met from dating sites didn't have pics up on the (different) site. One was a surgeon, the other a doctor - I'm not sure if it's something about the medical profession or what. They removed pics because they got tired of people messaging them, according to them, and preferred to initiate all the contacts themselves.

i would happily meet someone without a pic, no problem. the pics that ive seen on here are so misleading anyway that they dont help much. looks dont mean near as much to me as personality, shared interests, and morals.

I talked to one guy on here that didn't have a pic. I did ask for one, and he did email me a pic. He wasn't bad looking, don't understand the hiding. But I would demand a pic if he wanted to meet in person.

I don't like to meet people who haven't seen my pic - if he's not attracted to me, why waste our time?


This is how I feel,but yes I have met up with guys without pics.

I hear you, but I am different. I say be loud, be yourself. When I say loud, I mean "mean what you say" or to stand behind your words, not nec. to be physically loud.

So generally I'd avoid no pic profiles unless they sent me a detailed and interesting message.

what gets me is the people who refuse to show or send pics at all whether by email or phone,,or come up with some lame oh i dont know how to take or send pics or im camera shy bull s hit..

yet all in the same breath they usually want you to send them more pics or keep making promises of you wont be dissapointed all while saying seeing a photo of them is not important..well if thats the case then why the need to keep viewing pics an asking for more etc etc yet when they are asked they can come up 25 excuses why they cant an why they wont show you any..

The woman I'm seeing now had no pic. She contacted me, we met without me seeing or asking for a pic. I couldn't be happier. She is quite attractive. She took her pic down to limit the responses she was getting and she preferred being the one to make initial contact anyway. Not all picless profiles mean the person is hiding something.

i did once , we ended up with an 11 year relationship, most people have camera phones so there is no reason not to be able to get a pic to someone now. I did this in 2001 btw. I wouldnt do it again though lol.

If a guy doesn't have a pic and refuses to even show me one then I just block and move on.

i would never meet without a pic.

i did once meet a guy who said he didnt have a mobile phone cos he didnt liek them, which i thought was odd as he was 24 and who that age doesnt have a phone! but i really liked him and went against all my safety precautions.. and O M G.. he was genuine, super sexy, and became my favourite play mate ever!!

i later found out that the reason he had said he had no phone was because he was an up and coming actor and has since become pretty successful, which i am very happy for him, but sad cos i know i will never see him again now :(

he was protecting himself, he also told me a tall tale about having an identical twin who was an actor.. haha but i completely understand why he did what he did as in his career tales of sexual exploits are damaging, but i would NEVER sell him out!! I have so much respect for this guy, he really is truely amazing :)

If someone doesn't have a pic, they're hiding, embarrased to be on a dating site. They are married or have a live in partner, or they have confidence issues, & don't think they're attractive. I would never meet someone without a pic, in fact, I won't respond to a message without a pic either.

Pictures? I was doing so much better before I put some in. After that it was all old women and then they all passed away, because for over three years now, not one date, not even a coffee.
Walking down the street I see women's reactions when in their peripheral vision they see the shaved head, and I become invisible. Almost all of them. Rude, tactless, ****y.
Would love to see the men they pick, need a laugh.
