The best way is to say I enjoyed coffee with you, but I don't think their is chemistry between us.
No feelings are hurt and your being honest, and theirs no head games, and then if you meet again later in life, you'll have respect for each other.
You never know, when inn life you will meet again by chance. | |

Posted: 12/5/2005 1:47:57 PM | Yes I did. I was on another site as a trial run and got contacted by a woman with no photo who joined to contact me (she had seen an ad in her email and my photo was one of them in it). I was intrigued by her profile and after talking a bit, arranged to meet. I was nervous as hell, but was pleasantly surprised. We were together 5 years, then she went total b*tch and two timed, then dumped me. Go figure. Apparently she has a history of doing that, as I found out later. Lotsa luck to the new doofus, he's going to need it. We had one of the longest relationships she has ever had in her life.
Much later to crap like that!!! | |

Posted: 12/6/2005 11:14:32 AM | i have met lots of girls that did not have a pic in their profile....althought i don't pay much attention to pics anyhow because in person they rarely ever look like their pic..
but i have to talk to them for awhile before i agree to meet them... i get a discription of them and their car and tell them to stay in their car so that i will know its them... then i will park so that i have to go by their car and check them out first, if i like what i see i introduce my self... and i always choose a resturant to meet at, if i don't like what i see i can still go in for coffee....
i don't have a pic on my profile either and i don't hold it against girls for not having their pic on their profile either....
i feel that my profile is very precise and on the level , if a girl is smart enough to read and think about what i wrote, she would not have a problem writing or meeting me...

Posted: 12/7/2005 5:30:21 PM | | you took a chance which turned out good.. lucky for you. The way i look at it is.. why lie about your looks the person is gonna find out anyways.. and be more pissed that you lied. I'm talking to this one guy who has a totally hot unbelievable picture.. but i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.. cause it really is about more than just a picture right? | |

Posted: 12/7/2005 6:24:23 PM | This has been an ongoing debate in various forums. I was so fed up that I actually conducted a test of my own.
I met several "ladies" from here, One with a pic, who was what the pic showed, (But she didnt end up being my type). One without a pic. (Things didnt click). I then decided to fake a profile and borrowed some image of a male model. I had a horde of messages hit.(which tells me there are alot of shallow woman on here). So out of all of them I picked out two of the most attractive ladies. I went to meet the one and she was literly hanging around with 6 other guys( I just ended up driving by). The other cough lady....was'nt what her picture was. It resembled her face but her face ended up being pasted to another womans body.(my guess her friends).
All the above examples I got to know through emails in about a 1-2week period. The exception being is when I posted a pic of a male model. (Alot of the replies I had received wanted to meet me the next night with the fake profile). But even with that add I had 2 negative situations.
Long story short, From my own experience it does'nt matter if a person has a pic or not, it's what they say in there profile that seems to count. You really need to use this site cautiously and get to know who you made contact with. Ignore the ads with model like woman and those that dont take time to fill in there own profiles.
Other then that.. Goodluck!.... one needs alot of it on here. | |

Posted: 12/7/2005 11:26:36 PM | I haven't met anyone without a pic but since I write to people without pics and since the people others have met without a pic. My friends so far have not clicked with anyone they have met on line.. I would not be afraid to meet someone without a pic. I judge people on how they treat me. The people on here are a great group... | |

Posted: 12/9/2005 6:30:09 PM | | Yeah, I did that once. Never do it again! I had asked this guy several times for a pic and he would always sidestep the question or give me some excuse as to why he didn't have one. So I gave him the benefit of the doubt and met him for lunch one day. MAN! I think he totally lied about his age! He looked like he could have been my dad! I couldn't eat fast enough to get out of there. | |

Posted: 12/10/2005 12:20:17 AM | I recently met someone from this site who didn't have a pic. We talked and became friends first, then talked on the phone. We met and went on a date. Turns out, he is really cute and we had a great time. We still talk now, almost everyday, and things are going great. We have planned date #2 and I'm looking forward to it!!
I don't judge people by the way they look. Looks will fade eventually. | |

Posted: 12/10/2005 2:09:12 PM | | I met two girls from lavalife and they had no picture, never really asked them for one either. I met them, they were both cure (not at the same time lol) But they both never talked to me again after the first date and i don't know why but it doesn't really matter. Looks doesn't really matter. | |

Posted: 12/16/2005 3:03:06 PM | I was on a different site before and had not had a chance to post a pic yet, when I was contacted by a woman who did not have a pic yet either. We emailed eachother a couple of times and then agreed to meet. She was a knockout to say the least, and told me that was why she did not post a pic...she had a pic before and got way too many emails. We had a great evening together, and hooked up the next day for a very erotic afternoon.
I posted my pic on the site, and got a lot of emails, including from women with no pic. Since then, all the women that have contacted me that have no pic, have not been what I am looking for. Not to sound offensive, but I am not here looking for a long term girlfriend, so I am somewhat choosey who I meet. After all there must be a physical attraction. I am by no means a god, and do not expect to meet up with goddesses all the time, but I work out and take very good care of myself, so if you describe yourself because you have no pic, then at least be honest. Damn, I have even been contacted by guys who are bi, and who are pretending to be women....what the heck is up with that? | |

Posted: 12/16/2005 3:12:54 PM | I've done it..but don't like it
Yes..the dates may be stunners....butttt.....i still wish i had a visual before the embarisment.
Just as if a fello said he was fit .....and turned out to be like a fiddle.
I prefer to see a pic.....a picture is worth a 1000 words. | |

Posted: 12/17/2005 4:25:48 PM | I had one experience very early on in my new single period. I have always stated that I was looking for someone height/weight proportional. I was contacted by this one woman ( without a picture) , and we talked and e-mailed one another.
After about a week of this, she sent me her picture. She was morbidly obese, and far beyond any description of height/weight proportional. She must have weighed ( and I am not kidding here, folks) 400 pounds.
Had it been 10-15 lbs, I would have easily accepted it. The fact that she knowingly mislead me, knowing full well my stated limitations, was a total turn off. It would be exactly the same had I misrepresented myself to someone as having long flowing Fabio locks. Some women do not like men with shaved heads - and that is their choice. I make it clear as to my look, and if a woman does not want that, I don't fault her for it, or consider her shallow. It's just her taste, and one has to accept that honestly.
Before meeting anyone now, I insist on two things. A recent picture ( not one taken 20 years ago) , and a talk on the phone. With that, the rest comes easy. | |

If I read this correctly..The woman were shallow for replying to a male model pick..but you rejected the three women you met because you do not approve of thier behavior, because there were no sparks..and one because her body was not up to snuff?
So basically ,,it is ok for you to decide that women are not atractive enough for you..but there is something wrong with women wanting to meet the attractive man? Interesting. JMO J | |

Posted: 12/18/2005 6:44:29 AM | That's no indication of bravery, that's stupidity. As rampant as dishonesty is online, I require a pic even for a response.
It's not about being shallow and wanting a model on my arm. It's about how a person respects themself and wants to look their best. The same goes for sloppy clothes and a sloppy, messy house. These are signs of a bigger problem. A person that is unhappy for one reason or another. Maybe someone spoiled as a child and unable to find the strength inside because they've never had to. These are not qualities someone looks for in a date or potential mate. | |

Posted: 12/18/2005 7:03:52 AM | If they're not posting a pic there must be a reason. And the "broken scanner" excuse just doesn't cut it anymore. If there is a sound reason, I want to know it. And the pic? Well, something other than a close-up of an eye or lips. I like to see a few face pics and at least one overall. One pic doesn't tell you much. A photo is a contract of sorts. You are representing yourself by this image. If it's 20 years old, you will be found out when you meet. And it's better not to compound the lie by making a date and having them angry over your deception.
I live 30 miles from the nearest medium town. My time is valuable. I don't like the idea of spending a half-hour driving each way to meet someone I would never consider meeting otherwise. Why would you put up with being miserable on a date? Do you really have nothing better to do?
Another good reason not to post a photo online is because your spouse might see it. Beware of the married ones who are trying not to get caught. | |
