Also going to have coffee again sooner or later with someone who knows my neighbourhood well and it's convenient.

Don't see what difference the picture makes. Could be anybody's picture.

Of course anyone can post anyones picture - or a younger picture or a thinner picture... But then if they are 'nothing like' when you meet, you know straight off they are a fantasist if not a downright liar don't you?
These days I don't talk to anyone without a pic. I've been spun some amazing lines as reasons for not having one. In fact I've lost count of the number of men who work for the secret service! I know I might be missing out on a few good ones but I am also screening out a lot of players as well as those I couldn't possibly be attracted to. And by attraction I mean something more than looks. How people choose to represent themselves or let others see them is very telling!
But yes I did once meet someone without a pic. He was nothing like his description. He was very short, thin and bald and looked like he had just climbed out of a rubbish skip. Sigh....

I met a girl on-line without seeing her picture. We were to meet at a popular burger joint for lunch. When I realized that the two hot women that walked passed me and inside were not my date but the eye sore behind them was, I quickily stopped her and suggested a quick bite at McDonald's where no one could see me, I mean us. She told me she looked one way and turned out to be someone totally different. She finished my fries, y'all. She finished my fries! I'm not shallow but she lied to me and I thought it would be fun. I quit thinking from that day forward.

Because one of my motto(s) is 'FAIR & SQUARE', pic prior meeting would have to be a MUST.
It is not about being brave, it is about feeling f a i r

Meeting someone without a picture isn't about being brave, it's about being unbelievably desperate.

I have met people without pics and they have met me without them.

There is nothing saying that their pics aren't fake...you never know until you meet.

I am NOT saying physical attraction is not important--because indeed it is....but that can't be found in a still pic...

Don't be afraid--if they turn out to be "not your type"--so you had coffee..whoopie..lol

Cheers!

No pic no reply remarks in ads.... ok thnx I will pass you by.

Pics with you and some guy.... ok thnx I will pass you by.
Ads that are very vague and no word of a description... ok thnx I will pass you by.

Ads with no pics but a thoughtful description...I shall consider.
Ads with a pic that does not look professionaly done...I shall consider.

So many fake ads so little time.....

I have never met someone without seeing a pic first and I don't think I ever would. We can admit or not, looks do matter to a certain point. There just has to be something there. KWIM?

Around this time on February 9, 2001, I flew to another city and met a guy whom I had been talking to on the net for 5 months. In the whole time we talked, we couldn't bring ourselves to show our pics to each other fearing the other would dislike it. We did talk on the phone alot and I loved is voice. We were crazy about each other and he sent me so many love letters. I was terrified to meet and kept saying him to him, if you dislike me, its over and thats the part I was beginning to find hard to deal with. To make a long story short, we finally met at the airport, (after my plane was delayed for 3 hours and he told me he thought for sure I had decided not to come but sat and waited anyway). When we met, he was the most handsome man I ever met in my life, and the weekend turned out great. I wish I could give you a happy ending to this story but I can't. We were an item for some time later but it never worked out. All I can tell you is, at that time, it didn't matter how he looked to me, I was already in love with him.

I haven't met anyone from this site as of yet, but most of the profiles I have intriguing have had no pic, and that hasn't stopped me from contacting them at all. I do it to weed out people who base relationships on just looks. I'd much prefer someone who I can have a good time with intellectually. The way I see it, if they don't like who I am as a person, they don't need to know what I look like. I have e-mailed people pics of myself in the past, but there was already a relationship based on mutual interests.

You hear so many claims of pictures being fake or misrepresenting....yet, most people insist on a picture. Go figure.

I have basically discovered that most men on POF are too shallow for me. If he wants a pic and will not get to know me as a woman, he needs to move on. Have met too many average looking men who think they are hot looking and expect the women they meet to look like a model. grow up and be realistic.

I dated a guy here at POF.No idea what he looks like...all i know is he got a masculine,sweet voice.Looks are not much important anyway,...it's just a matter of how he brings his self with you on a first meeting.I found out, he is incredible man.

Sure, I have. I have met several guys in person from a online site without pics. I had seen a profile from a different site and sent a contact. We chatted online for several months not paying any particular attention to meeting, just as friendly chats. Well, we decided to meet and me having no pic available, which I shall explain later, (his was available). I told him what I looked like and what I would be wearing and where I would be at. Well, we met and have become very good friends. We have dated a few times and each time has been most enjoyable. The second time I met someone, we both did not have pics. Again we chatted for several months and decided to meet. Again I told him the same senerio. Again it was very nice and we have become very good friends. But in resonse to people saying about not having pics available, I do not have a scanner nor a camera available to post a pic. I have one posted on another site but it is about four years old and I tell anyone who responds this, but they can at least have an idea of my looks. I only have that one posted because my sis did it. I guess I am alittle bit adventureous in response to meeting guys without pics. Good luck!

Thats the beauty of webcams my friend. And if anyone ever messages me on a chat and doesn't have a pic, I simply ask them to produce one. If they don't then its bye bye.
