| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 1/7/2006 10:37:57 PM | No pic is one thing pics that have half a man or woman are another.
I'm also not even going to answer post without pics.
With a pic I get some idea of what they look like, I take pride in how I look and I want to be around people that also care..... | |

Posted: 1/8/2006 9:48:18 AM | I am one of the many without a pic! Am I married? Am I not being truthful? Do I have such a high profile occupation that being on POF might jeopardize my position? Ummmmm.........NO! Do I NOT take pride in my appearance? Ummmmmmmm.....NO! Well, that might be up for discussion..........I certainly don't wear make-up just to take out the trash as I no longer care if you think I'm gorgeous (and yes, alas, there was a time I did).
WHAT IF........even in this day and age..........you DON'T know how to take a picture of yourself or have a scanner for pic's that you may already have on hand?
(An aside......the pic's where the person is obviously taking it of themselves are HILARIOUS!! Not to mention the FRAMED photo's!! Hope they're hanging at your mom's and not on your own living room wall!)
WHAT IF........the ONLY reason you're on POF is because you've opened your own business in a new state (so don't know anyone) and the nature of your business is such that you don't meet single men?
WHAT IF..........you've perhaps had more heartache then you ever thought you could stand (because you're very trusting.........WHY would someone lie?) (OR you're stupid.......who can say?) and that was experienced without a dating site.......never mind not posting a picuture?
Oh............WHAT IF......?? WHAT IF....?? WHAT IF.....??
WHAT IF...........you've taken your profile down because even without a picture the responses you were getting were SOOOOOOOO sick? (Don't mean that to all........)
WHAT IF.........it's REALLY 2007 and we just don't know it??
Must go now...........I'm going to buy a camera and hold it at arms length so I can later frame a picture of my nose hairs to post for your enjoyment..................my husband will love it! | |

Posted: 1/8/2006 10:09:33 AM | | Yes I did meet a woman that didn’t have a pic she sounded like she was what I was looking for to make a long story short it was a disaster she never did anything with her hair and no makeup and no looks (not the most important thing) and when we talked she said she never uses make up and what you see is what you get. So now no picture no response | |

Posted: 1/9/2006 4:41:09 PM | I had to laugh when I browsed through this thread. People without pictures are more dishonest?
Oh come on. When I first started browsing through the women in my area, there was one woman with the pictures of a popular swimsuit model down in L.A. for her profile pics, and another person with pictures clipped out of a motorcycle magazine.
Like most of the pictures on this site represent what people actually look like?
When someone doesn't post a picture, you have no idea what they actually look like. I'd already had people without pictures who were willing to share them if you showed interest, or conversed with them for even a few days.
Some people simply value their privacy. I don't think that there is anything wrong with that. | |

Posted: 1/10/2006 9:25:34 AM | Yes, I have. I met a guy on-line and we talked for months on the phone with out ex-changing a pic. We decided to meet and got along just as well in person. I think that the beauty of internet/phone "dating" is that you can really get to know the person for who they are first without adding all the physical to it.
....Now, I am not saying this is a SMART thing to do...because there are some real CRAZIES out there!!!!!!!!!
....But I agree with a lot othe the other responses. I don't show my pic until after I am asked, or have sent a couple of e-mails...I like someone to be interested in me first before I show them. I like to see what someone's intentions are. | |

Posted: 1/10/2006 10:52:43 AM | YAY!!! Is this how gangs start?
Molonel (and many others) have a very good point.........perhaps the question should be, "How many have been seriously disappointed when the person ISN'T their pic?". I read about that all the time!
I may post a picture in the future (or may not). I'm sure that if I do though it will be very obvious that I'm a pathological liar! That's what scares me.............. | |

Posted: 1/10/2006 10:57:32 AM | I have met women with no pic a couple of times and do not like or wish to do it again.
My experiences made any horror flick look like a Disney cartoon. I kept my tongue was very pleasent continued with the date then ended with "I had a nice time but don't think we are right for each other" I actually still talk to a few of them. | |

I have.....and I regret it to this day....note my new headline.
Your profile states that you're looking for "Talk/Email". So, essentially, you're demanding that everyone prove their worthiness (i.e., physical attractiveness) to be able to talk/mail you?!? | |

Posted: 1/20/2006 6:22:49 AM | After a few letters or messaging sessions, yes, I want a picture. More so I know something abvout the person and can visualize the words coming from them.
Those who absolutely insist on no pictures are usually gone from my list after a week or so. | |

Posted: 1/20/2006 10:10:20 AM | | Kind of depends on why you are here? If you are looking for just a booty call or a hot body to fantasize over, well then I guess a pict is important to you. If you are serious about developing a friendship/relationship then sometimes it is nice to learn about the other person with out the complications of looks. Do not know anyone who still looks the same as when they were a teenager. Maybe I was just lucky but I met a POF member without a pict. We messaged for a while and even spoke on the phone. She described herself but I had already gotten a feel for the person she was by our conversations. She seemed astonished that I was not demanding a picture like so many other guys. Even went so far as to send a rather fuzzy but explicit photo without me asking. I have since met her for several dates and can say that she is one of the most beautiful women I have met. Maybe not a super model with all their maintenance requirements, but very beautiful to me. So… Pict or no pict? Guys, or girls, take a chance. It might be the best thing you ever did. | |

Posted: 1/20/2006 4:03:20 PM | I donot have a pic of myself because I hate pictures. I really dont want to put my picture online anyway of when I was in High School or some earlyer shot in my life? If you are interested I will send you a photo at a lator time.
May I suggest that you reley on more than a photo to determine to contact someone or not? I have had many photo's in my life and I have never been satisified with the results of one of them and I am shy at first in this life too/ \
worst case scenario: Don't respond I really do-not want a response from someone that is shallow that they haft to have a pic first, If you really need one we may work something out at a lator time.
"By not having a picture they do not have pic cause they are married/have gf and they do not want their significant other to see them using dating services" Really?
Really? Well Perhaps I could be shy at first too?  | |
