| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 1/20/2006 9:18:19 PM | | I have met a few women who didn't post a picture. After a few emails had been exchanged we dicided to meet for coffee. She was not at all what she seemed to be, she described herself as very independant, and worked alot. I found out that she had been unemployed for more then two years, and was living back with her mom. She was basicaly looking for someone to move in with and away from her folks. She was 35 years old. She was fat and appeared to be very lazy. We didnt see each other after that. | |

Posted: 1/20/2006 10:39:29 PM | I respect peoples rights not to put pics up if they dont wish to, as long as they respect my choice that I DO like to see who it is I am talking to. Talking in dating sense - online, I also liken it to dating or socialising in the real world, ie people dont go around with paper bags on their heads do they?
Sure I realise the pics could be fake but I have some methods to test that at as well, should it get to the stage of a deeper interest online. You dont have to go around calling people liars or say they are hiding, its just a case of being smart for your own sake, and what works for you. I just dont like talking about myself in a dating nature [ the get to know you know stuff- isnt that what its all about??] to a blank screen
if its just non dating internet chat or forum talk, that doesnt bother me and pics dont matter. But when it comes to trying to build relationships, I want to see who I am talking to.
So to answer the question, no I havent met anyone that I havent got some idea what they look like first | |

Posted: 1/21/2006 12:44:21 AM | | I commented on this once before, but I just wanted to let everyone know something. I met someone here on POF in October. Neither of us had a pick. We talked for a while, then decided to meet. He is really hot and we have been dating ever since. We are now talking about taking our relationship further. I'm sure plenty of people have had bad experiences, but this one turned out really good for me. Don't overlook the ones without pics because you might be missing out on a really good thing. | |

Posted: 1/21/2006 11:43:59 AM | | I learned the hard way, that do not meet someone if they can not send you a pic. What you invision them to look like is never how they truely look. I met one and she was definately not what I expected. Lets just say no physical attraction there. If they can not send you a pic there is a reason behind it and they are hiding something so all I say is don't be surprised at what you end up seeing. Have a good day all... | |

Nowdays, no pic, no date. You do not have to post it, but I will expect you to email it to me BEFORE I ask to meet you.
I like a woman to have a little extra padding, (better snuggling!), but being 100 pounds overweight in not "average" and to say that is lying. | |

Get into this century! YOU DO NOT NEED A SCANNER!!
Choose a picture and go to Walmart, Walgreens, even a lot of grocery stores. Any place that does 1 Hour photos. They can put it on a disk (or you can do it yourself) while you wait.
NO PIC! This is more like me. I actually paid to have some taken at Sears. The family loved getting some too. Cost? Less than $20. I just got a basic package from whoever was running an ad in the Sunday sell papers.
Still a problem? Ask anyone you know with a cell phone if it has a camera. They can snap a few until you find a couple you like and then they can email them to you. Your cost-FREE!
You know, web cameras are not that expensive. I should go buy one myself!  | |

Posted: 1/22/2006 7:56:22 AM | My pic is not usually up. I can mail it but if it is in my profile then it is available through google search and that is not something I want so I hid it.
I have met a few with out pictures and so far not an issue. People are nice in most cases so the physical doesn't mean much to me. | |

Posted: 1/24/2006 10:14:59 PM | | Yes, I have. I'm physically very attractive, but I'm 48 years old and know that one of these days my external features will fade but not my inner ones unless I let them. I have looked at some guys pics that have caught my eye for whatever reason--but most often I don't look at them. I just got to a point where that's just not important to me. | |

Posted: 1/27/2006 3:21:15 PM | Yeah, I met someone last summer. He'd just come to Canada very recently and so we got together in a very public park-like setting, talked about where he came from compared to Canada etc., had a coffee and went home.
It passed some time and was interesting. | |

Posted: 1/29/2006 4:20:40 PM | Yeah, i did it once. And it might be shallow, but come on seriously....you need to have some sort of attraction there. You cant be like, ok lets meet, after talkin for a while and making this connection mentally and then when you meet theres no physical attraction. Then you can hurt both yourself and the other person. I think in order to meet someone then you have to be attracted to both their personality and physical being.
I have talked to many guys without seeing their pic, and then it turns out that Im not attracted to them and they are to me. Then how do you tell them ok, im not into you in that way cause there is no spark there. I think thats wrong. You end up hurting them in the long run.
I dont want a guy to talk to me and get all attached to me and then meet me and him not attracted to me in a physical matter. Then its harder for them to tell you how they feel. But if there is a pic for both and you are attracted to them, then you can see if the personalitites go together too.... | |

Posted: 1/29/2006 8:01:06 PM | | ABSOLUTELY! i was with a guy for THREE years NEither of us had aphoto nor did we speakon the phone before we met. I usually have agoo djudgement of character and meet safely anyway ..we got along really well via email and had alot of connections and va va va voom he was AWESOME looking at least to me and me to him! his personality was GREAT and y aknow...peoples photos arent always accurate ANYWAY...the firrst guy I ever met offline -it had to be a photo of someone else becasue the guy I met was no where NEAR what the photo was!I also dont agree with -tel me who you look like! you look like YOU an dno one else. Maybe MOM or your best buddy sees a hint of Tom Cruise in you but to me you could look like gomer pile!just trust your gut, see if theres s sense of humor, has patience, goo d natured, caring etc and you should be good to go for a brief first encounter-breakfast/lunch/coffe and....take the chance as it may not come up again or you may miss somehting of a life time... | |
