Posted: 4/25/2006 10:11:58 PM | My mystery date turned out to look like Mr. Mooney from I love Lucy. But I rose above that, reminding myself that I enjoyed our phone conversations. We sat for two hours talking and I got to see all the pictures of his X wife.. X wife and son.. X wife and his family. Can I say 'Red Flag' loud enough? Majority of the conversation had his X wife in it. Where was the guy I spoke to so many times on the phone? But I made the best of it and stayed sweet and attentive.
When he walked me to my car, I gave him a hug. The next thing I knew he had me in jaw lock bent over the hood of my car. I smiled pretty.. Whipped his spit off my chin and said "Yes, call me and we'll get together"..
Ok.. lighting can not strike twice right? WRONG... second mystery date.. Good looking fellow. "Now this is more like it" I thought. An hour later we were sitting in his car and he grabs my hand and puts it on his crotch.. "You want this baby.. Don’t you?" Needless to say I was a little flustered. I just went from a sweet coffee meet and greet to a porn flick. So I gave him a little squeeze.. Put on my sexist smile and said "Only in your dreams baby.. "
So, nope.. no pic.. no meet and greet. And needless to say even that does not always work out so good either. A horney dog is always a horney dog.. except around his mother and his kids.

I ended up living with one of them for 4 years which ended a year ago. | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 2:21:10 AM | | Tropical I agree with you and what pisses me off most is when these ladies or whomever because you never know act like they are doing you the biggest favor in the world. "oh you can see my pic when I get to know you better" lmao. I tell them thanks, but no thanks.There are enough people to choose from that post pics . Besides you can be chatting with a child or same gender as yourself[which is cool for those into that]. Anyways you get my drift | |

There are 7 gazillion pictures of women that can be easily swiped from internet sites. Do you really believe that seeing a picture is going to guarantee that you're speaking with one? | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 8:37:28 AM | Generally I like to see a picture of the guy if I'm going to meet him. On one occassion only did I actually meet someone I hadn't seen a picture of. We ended up dating for 8 months. He was pretty hot.
On the other hand, I don't have a picture of myself posted. When a guy asks what I look like, i assure them i'm not ugly. I think the phrase "don't worry I'm not ugly" is actually a pretty truthful statement. There were 2 guys I met without showing them a pic of myself. They were shocked that I wasn't a fat ugly girl, but curvy and attractive. I now have a pic that i can show to someone if i want to. | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 8:40:34 AM | This sounds crazy but, if a person is on a dating site to actually meet another, then they should have the courtesy to have a photo available.
To those, like myself, that are just chating to friends via email and enjoying the forums, I do not see the need..... | |

There are some people that want to date and have valid reasons for not wanting to make their photo's available. People that don't want coworkers to know, ex-mates that were abusive stalkers, preventing future stalkers or predatory pedophiles seem like extreemly good reasons for people not to post photos or devulge too much personal info on line. | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 9:12:20 AM | I have no photo, i have no expectations from this site/forum, i have still recieved private messages.
My position is such that if someone wants to get to know me first, without seeing a picture then that person is worth knowing. | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 10:37:44 AM | I disagree, what happens if your famous or a politician, or have a cazy ex. all these people don't want a pic up for a good reason. My 1st ex is a very crazy. nutty, weird, person, who I never want to find mee again. I don't need the head games. No pic for me | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 10:52:30 AM | There is always having the fore-thought of buildin' trust first, and then always keeping a friend for always. Which has happened in a many cases for me. I don't like sounding shallow either. Get a nice rapport within the time you start the relationship here to where it hopefully takes you to a 1st date, I don't always initiate a photo either. Depending on the situation. Just recently I had my 1st date without him having a photo, and it was a bit scary, but there is always trust built and we had talked enough on the phone and again a rapport between us. Unfortunately not SPARKS flew when we met.. that would have been nice!!Sounds like I get to date alot but not... this was the first time this year...well good luck next time maybe, also could say something about the picture thing... OMG.. didn't think of it till I went in to edit .. lol. Laughter isn't bad to add in your life either...
But we will remain friends...sometimes it just doesn't work out that way...but you have to keep your senses about you too. Stay within a public place for woman. | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 2:52:07 PM | | Amanders you are getting far less responses by not posting a pic i guarantee that .I believe my attitude of knowing there are many women that posts pics that i dont need to waste time with those that dont is a great philosophy and one that is shared by both men and women alike . | |

Posted: 4/27/2006 9:43:45 PM | | I have to defend those of us who are scared to respond to e-mails with no pics. In my mind they must have something to hide like the fact that they are really married or might be on Americas Most Wanted list. I will respond to an e-mail if I like what they have to say to me and in their profile but I'm getting a pic before I meet anyone in person. | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 12:08:39 AM | | well...pictures are always great..on thing that fascinates me..is that people will blatantly lie about not having a picture..in this forum..when they have clearly been sending it..a repulsive picture it might be..but it is a picture nevertheless | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 12:24:14 AM | Met a woman a couple of years ago from another site, and like many, she totally lied about what she looked like. She said I was shallow then and I said how was I to know who you are when in fact how you described yourself is totally opposite of what you look like? I walked around the mall looking for her, and stood by the entrance area she said she would be at, 10 minutes later she walks up to me and asks me if I am so and so and I said yes and then I realized who it was.
Another I met, the pics she had up were the old Glamour Shots, and they were taken a few years prior..looked nothing close to what I saw. Why people do this or lie is beyond me.
I do not post my pics publicly on my profile as past experience on another site, I never got a message first from any women so I doubt that it will happen here. So I send a pic with my messages I send out. | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 1:41:55 AM | Glad it worked out for you bosslady... though I wouldn't say that having a picture is shallow. You said yourself that he looks totally your type, so you admit that his looks made a difference. However, if external attractiveness is all we are concerned about or the deciding factor, then of course that would be shallow.
Good looks are a bonus and if we can have both the right personality and good looks, that's great. So I wouldn't want to be with someone who was very good looking on the outside but not my type on the inside (and there are a lot like that). I would much rather it be the other way around or if I am lucky, both the right personality and the looks.
It would be dishonest for me to say that what a person looks like makes no difference at all. And I would say that anyone who says that it makes no difference at all are not being honest with themselves. I look at the whole both inside and outside but of course what a person is like on the inside is the most important.
I have been on one 'date' (we went for a coffee and a chat) so far and she wasn't bad looking at all. However, it wouldn't have stopped me if she was the right person but wasn't very attractive to look at. Nor would it stop me meeting someone, if she didn't have a picture on her profile. As it turned out, she wasn't bad looking but we both agreed that we were not really each other's type and that there was no point in taking it any further. That understanding we had was nothing to do with looks but it was to do with who we are, the way we think and feel about things. | |

In my opinion, if a person is on a dating site to actually meet another, they should have the courtesy to not send a photo of their genitals.
If I'm walking down the street, or standing in a grocery store, and all a man knows about me is the way that I look, he would never approach me and show me his penis. Why is it acceptable here?
I've never had a total stranger walk up to me in real life, announce that he was married, and invite me to an "Intimate Encounter".
I wouldn't tolerate those actions from a man wanting a dating relationship in the real world, based solely on my appearance, why should I do it here? The difference is that in real life I don't have to hide my appearance to be treated with some semblance of respect. | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 8:51:13 PM | | ugot, excellent point . As I stated earlier these people could be kids or same gender as male or female that search them. Chances are if you have taken any pictures at all with your home camera, or even just shopped in a mall , someone could have taken pic with a cell- there is more than a good chance if you search hard enough your pic is somewhere on the net anyway . | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 9:50:32 PM | | ok i was gonna stay out of this one but i just gotta vent. I have never been turned down by a lady ever, so i consider myself to be good looking. I was waiting to post a pic so i could see what would would happen. Its sad maybe its my profile but i have had very little luck. I was with my ex for 7 years and she was a model and a ****, so looks only go so far, I guess I was a little shallow. Now i am raising my 4 year old little girl by myself. So i ask atleast reply to the guy with no pic, maybe he is the perfect one. | |

Posted: 4/30/2006 4:56:26 PM | | I have but that was back way before all this POF Lava Yahoo Match Date PerfectMatch all came about. It was from a yahoo chat room and I think it was about 8-9 years ago........Havent since then it was scarey...it makes you not want anyone to know and those stories about who you meet on the other end become seemingly true what you hear today. | |
