| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 3/28/2005 10:55:40 PM |  I make this point everytime this question rears it ugly head,
#1 Are look's all that matter to you??? Most ladies say they don't care, that is a lie...(-;
#2 Are you looking to date Fabio,
Superman,or The Pengwin???
Fabio's busy,Superman's Dead and The Pengwin smells like fish...(-;
#3 Do you have a well grounded plan,realistic expectation's and do you want a show pice or some one who is wanting a real relationship???
If all you are intrested in is GOOD LOOKING call an escort service...(-;
If your happy with the quality of conversation and it feels right,the meet the guy or gal with no photo,as you can see I do post a photo but very seldome one of me...(-;
People do not post photo for a wide variety of reasons,I have dated very attractive women that did not post photo's and I'm met a few puppy dog's too...(-;
But looks ain't everything, personality is,that is what will keep you intrested and build a great relationship...(-;
Now mind you,any woman who write's to me,get's a photo on my first response,then it just depends on how I feel at the time,as to weather I ask them out or not...(-;
Also,if your going to meet some one that you have never seen before in a public place,it really helps to have exchanged photo's before you meet...(-; 
 Because the Red Head in the white Blouse, Or the Guy in the Green shirt method,never works out because everytime on the oppionted day and time,there will be 75 Red Heads with white Blous's on or 75 guy's with green shirt's on, perhaps it's just me,but it happens every time...*J*
So it is wise to see a photo at some point,but just because a profile has No Photo attached to it,is no reason to just shy away,there are a million reson's for No Photo,but you won't know unless you ask...(-;  | |

Posted: 3/29/2005 7:36:29 AM | | Actually recently I was talking to this guy that wanted to meet without showing me a pic first. He assured me that he was really cute (that's not even what its really about). So I told him to take a pic with his camera phone and send it to me.. and MAN would I have been disappointed if I'd met him! The bottom line is, no matter how bad [or good] you think you may look, its way better to have a picture.. just so there are no unpleasant surprises. | |

Posted: 3/29/2005 9:17:56 AM | | It wasn't on this site, or even recently, seeing as I haven't met anyone from the net in awhile. But last year? Or even longer...I was on a different dating site and was new to the whole scene. I get an email from a guy in my city, just the basics y'know, not detailed at all, and then I get a phone number from him, so I begin to call him on a regular basis. He never emailed a pic, and said he didn't have one when I asked so I let it slide. I moved not long later, and so meeting up wasn't going to be so easy since I lived about 2 hours away. Finally, I was in the city for the weekend and called him. He had all of my pictures, had seen me on cam, and all I had was a description. But when he came up to me, it was like "WOW!!!" He was the hottest thing, goregous for sure, nothing what I had imagined and I was more than pleased. We continued our 'relationship' I suppose you could call it, whenever I came into town, and he wanted to see me more and more so would come to see me, but he was upset I wouldn't move back to the city to start a real relationship with him and went out and began dating the next girl he met...HAHA You win some you lose some...but in this case, damm I lost a LOT! | |

I must say, you did get very lucky. The truth of the matter is that majority of people that refuse to post photos in their profiles are either not very proud of their appearence and would prefer to use the blind approach to connect with people, or they have something to hide ie. an existing relationship or marriage. I am not speaking from personal experience here as I am relatively new to this interned dating thing but a close girl-friend of mine had quite a few negative experiences from meeting people she has not seen a photo of. | |

Posted: 3/29/2005 10:29:19 AM | You're way more shallow nline then in real life? SO..when you finally meet the guy you go for the loooks on IN real life..what do you do? That's nnot gonna work out to well hu?
I ahve also been lied to where the girl was NOTHING like she decriebd. SSooo; I had noi qwualms telling her how disgusting she was. NOT for her looks; I couldnt care less, BUT fo rexpecting that she could lie to me so obviously yet STILL have a chance of enjoying a nice, fun date from me? YA RIGHT!! (plus she was hideous, but I thinkn thats because I was so biased because of her lie..*shrugs*..dunno) | |

That's the best I've seen it put. Unfortantly, alot of women don't want good conversation or intelligence, they want Fabio, even if a cabbage is smarter. Go ahead ladies and flame away, but you know most you want that deep down.
BTW, as a side note. The lady I am dating right now, didn't have a picture on her profile, and niether did I. Both of us expected that the other person to be honest. We did exchange pictures after our first set of emails, and I wasn't disapointed, nor shocked. My advice, try building a relationship on more than just looks. You'll be happier in the long run. | |

Posted: 3/29/2005 6:58:44 PM | Hi Everyone! :)

Nope...you might not believe me or any of us girls for that matter, but hotties intimidate me. I like to look, but I'm not LOOKING for them. Guess if one likes me, that'll be cool. But someone funny and cute in their own way is just fine. :)
For the record, until getting on this site I was just plain too lazy to take a pic and upload it! I don't usually like fooling with cameras, or looking at my own picture, haha! So I'm never disappointed when someone without a pic messages me. I understand. | |

You're one of the few. Reread this thread and the billion others like it on these forums. You will notice it's the same women that are always saying that they won;t respond to those profiles with out a picture, and then go on and on about why. I'll bet you a $100, that they will still be single in a year. Why? Because they are still looking for Fabio..LOL... I'll also bet you $100, that within a year you won;t be :) | |

Posted: 3/29/2005 7:40:43 PM | | Hi ....yes two years ago. I don't put one on here but do send one right away when they ask. Just a privacy thing because of something that happened when I first signed up online. He was awesome and he sent me a pic after we had coffee. It was actually kind of funny because.... he just does not photograph well. I was stunned at how different his pic was then his appearance and all he said was,"I hate pictures and it shows'. He found he had met more people without one so he left it off the sites. :) | |

Posted: 3/29/2005 8:01:09 PM | The three men that I have met online have either taught me a lesson or I've been really really lucky. The first guy had a photo and looked almost NOTHING like his photo which I thought was attractive. We became friends and ended up in a 6 month relationship. Really nice guy regardless that he wasn't really my type at all in the looks department. But as far as personality, he was almost my dream guy. The other two men, had no photos and the first of the two was um... GORGEOUS! 6'6 190 looked like Alonzo Morning and was applying for a fireman position. Funny thing I had already catagorized him as a friend even after meeting him since he really wasn't my type personality wise. Lovely to look at but a dud during a semi-long discussion (anything over 30 mins). The last guy was older but could keep up with the convo. Met him and was annoyed that he didn't appear attracted. Low and behold he was but too bitter about his divorce to let it go.
Long story short. Those w/o photo's are pretty much just like those w/photo's. But you are forced to really take more time with those w/o photo's to make certain that they're worth the visit. It's sad to think that you'll meet them and loose a friend if they really did lie to you, so intuition is the key. If you don't have good luck with your intuition demand a photo.
Oh yeah though if you show yours they really should show you theirs. | |

Posted: 3/29/2005 8:46:16 PM | LOL, NO BET, Bustersab! I think you're right! :)
And thanks, btw...added confidence booster, I'll take it! ;)
I always have been a bit unconventional...I forget then that generalizations often don't apply to me... silly me
Nice meeting you BTW :) | |

Posted: 3/29/2005 8:56:22 PM | | No I would not meet someone without seeing a pic first. I will talk to anyone and see how things go and if they go well I would expect pic sent to me by mail or email. I just feel if I am not attracted to them why waste our time. Now this may not always be the case a pic only tells you so much. Several conversations will usually take care of the rest of the questions in my mind. | |

Posted: 3/29/2005 10:34:35 PM | | No salamander I am not afraid of anything, just don't want to waste their time or mine. I just went through this with a lady that I had never seen before and it was not good. I drove 3 hours to meet her and she was not what I had pictured of her description, so I wasted time and money. Now she will not leave me alone. You can still be a attractive person without the looks but some looks do help. I am not beautiful or whatever but I think I am a nice looking guy. But hey I am little prejudice towards my own looks. I could improve and I know that everyone would not agree that I am a good looking guy but I am only looking for that special one. That is only my opinion. | |

Posted: 3/30/2005 8:59:04 AM | Twice.
The first time it was with a girl that met me to go shoot pool and get some coffee. She was cute, but her personality wasn't attractive. We also had nothing in common, so that was down the crapper from the get go.
The second time was with a college girl that met me over a cup of coffee. She was a bit chubby, but I still thought she was attractive. Again, I didn't really like her personality, and we had no common interests. Kerplunk.
Though I found them both to be attractive, so the fact that they didn't have a picture had little to do with it. | |

Did once...Never again.. Pic was 10 years old.. I dont even chat with profiles if they have no pics.. HOw hard is it to scan a pic and post it,come on people!!... Mystery is not in my thoughts..
Your logic escapes me. On the one hand you're saying that this person did have a picture, but it was out of date, and therefore they were lying about their looks. Then you go on to say that you won;t chat with somebody if they don;t have a pic. How do you know the person that you are chating with, (with a picture to meet your requirments for a chat) is the person in their picture? Please, enlighten me oh wise one. | |
