I'll be glad to send along a pic to anyone that I contact.
I don't have them up because there is a very good reason, nuff said.
If you'd like to know the details, I'd be more than happy to tell ya, just won't do it out here in the big-wide-open, ok?

I have, several times...not PoF...am new member, no hurry.

One complaint I have heard many times is that people post pics that are 20 years old.

don't post a pic partly to ferret out the superficial. I need substance for sustenance.
I do have pics at photosite. I get told, "you're beautiful", but I consider myself no glam mag model, but no double bagger. It's nice to be considered attractive of course, but I want the focus of a man's attraction to be the woman inside the packaging. If a man can't engage my mind and we can't laugh together, the picture is moot.

I can't see being dishonest about looks when asked. If you meet, it becomes very obvious you lied, and the person you lied to has the right to be upset. Lie about one thing, trust just goes out the window. If you are hefty and it embarrasses you, you are the only one who has the power to change it. If you are bald(ing), or not the height you wish you were, learn to accept it and you won't be bothered by those who can't. If you're married, be honest about it, if you are married but wish you weren't, then do something about it. A fairy isn't going to wave a magic wand and make your wish come true. Fantasize all you want about your spouse getting mortally injured in a car wreck, but odds are, that isn't likey to be your easy way out either. Get help, get out, get a grip or get bent.
I digress, huh? Smiles.

I've met guys who had pictures posted and guys that didn't. The ones that had theirs posted looked MUCH BETTER in person! I don't post my pic on POF because my computer wouldn't allow me to upload it on the site. I send a picture to those that I talk to on private e-mail.

I met my ex-b/f without him having a pic and we were together for almost 4 yrs. Not sure if I'd do it again though but good things can come of it.

Yes, and to tell you the truth...I would rater not have a pic... because I want to know what the person is like on the inside and not the outside, if someone is just going to go for the outside...holy hell...they are going to miss out on some pretty cool people!!! Sorry...just my opinion...I have met some really nice people on here and other sites that have no pics and are so sweet!!! So sometimes you just have to go with what they have...be it a great Heart and no pic...or someone who is shallow and looks like movie star qualities...I think I'll stick to the great hearts myself!!! Happy fishing...just don't get caught by a rusty fish hook...lol...

k...so dont always believe the picture that you do receive...she actually sent me some pics of someone else...after a couple of weeks of chat we decided we would meet and make plans too go for dinner...k, this may seem shallow, but when she opened the door and it wasnt the same picture as the ones sent too me, i said see ya...it was like i wouldnt notice that she was a size 16 and not a size 7/8 as she said...i didnt ask her size she just told me that is what she was, and now i know womens sizes and can go shopping and come home with the right size...if we are gonna shop by catalogue then you should really advertise properly...i mean it is the 21st century...if they see your picture on an online dating site then they are on it too...so you just take your chances and hope for the best...

Absolutely! It all depends on how perceptive you are when corresponding, and what you are really looking for, the vessel or the contents! My last two year relationship was with a woman who had no photo. No clue what she looked like till we met on our first date. From communicating prior to that, I knew who she was though! (She did know what I looked like though!) Oh, yeah, she wasn't even scary either; pretty hot actually! LOL. Now, I've met scary women who have posted that one photo where they looked pretty good......a while ago!
The down side of not having a photo though, is that I'm probably not going to find YOU! If you're willing to do all the searching though......

I have no problem talking to people that have no pictures. I haven't met any that don't have any. It's hard to say if I would meet anyone with out one. It all depends on how well we get along.

Well dont feel all alone, I went into a restaurant to meet a woman. If she hadnt come to the door and introduced herself, I never would of guessed!! I do think all of us should have up to date pictures on here. Would save alot of wasted time. you only send one out when you contact someone, your choice, but a few nice woman have contacted me in here. They know before they write what I look like. I may not be beautiful, but i do think honesty goes a long ways on here. head shot and full body. If I want to meet someone in person, might as well get them ready for what they are going to see. I always wonder how the woman grow their hair so long and so short in such a short time! Sometimes i think I am looking at the pictures of a few different people.
AS for meeting someone without a picture, well none on the site, their choice. Not able to e-mail one before we are going to meet. That is going a little far. I dont think anyone doesnt have a picture that they can e-mail. Definate red flag. Have done it a few times, much to my disapointment.

well i was chatting with this guy on line about 4 years ago now.he said he was a very SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR. He wasn't able to call me tho and finally when he did call me, he couldn't talk for more then 2 minutes..he lives in So.Cali and i live in No. Cali.I thought for a man who was suppose to be all that successful shouldn't have a money problem making a long distance phone call.,Well he did send me a picture of him self NOT BAD LOOKING except when i did meet him i found out the picture was taken when he was 29 and he was now 44.long story short.I have a friend who lives in So.Cali also.so while down there i thought maybe i should just meet this guy. well it turned out "Entrepreneur" really mean LOOSER WITH NO JOB i didn't know that because i hadn't been on the net that long.he had NO TEETH,NO JOB,NO INCOME,LIVES WITH HIS FOLKS.butt ass ???? you know what:( he thought he was my gift from God when we met,he told me right away and up front he DIDN'T LIKE SEX,ORAL SEX WAS GROSS AND DISGUSTING.plus the winner also had a S.T.D that don't have a cure..TO THIS DAY I WILL NEVER,EVER MEET ANY ONE HERE THAT I CHAT WITH ON THE NET.

Yeah I met someone w/o a pic and it was a mistake. She was nice but I didn't find her attractive and if she had a pic I wouldn't have wasting my time meeting her in the first place. But it comes down to preferences, I'm sure there are some guys that would find her attractive. If they don't have a picture on their profile (by the way mine does have a pic, I just use this profile for the forums) they probably have something to hide and are hoping you will fall in love with their personality and not care what they look like later when you meet them in person. The smoking hot girls are not out there not posting a picture. These are usually the ones with the low self esteem to begin with so they want as many guys e-mailing them as possible to build their ego. Do you really need to see that picture of them in a bikini or a shot of them grinding up against their girlfriend in a club or just their butt ot boobs? It gets replys though.

Yep! I met a gentleman through another site without ever having seen a pic and our first date lasted about three years
I've also met several men that looked NOTHING like their picture.
Dating sites, just like life, it's all a crap shoot! LOL

it was so nice when you phoned me at home the other day. your voice sounds like a melody, like birdsong. Tis simile come to mind beccause while crossing the Retiro park on the way to work very early this morning. i heard the dawn the dawn chorus and immediately thought of your gentle and delicate voice.

Yes I did. I actually prefer meeting face to face, one sunday I was on line and some one dropped me a line - I was going to watch " A hitch Hikers Guide of the Galaxy".
It was the first time he had spoken to me - no photo - and I suggested he meet me and watch movies together.
He is wonderful - an average looking guy with a fantastic heart.

Well I need to correct my statement about going out with a guy before seeing a picture. Well I did and thought he was nice, but he just turned into a nasty guy and won't talk to me. So NO I would not go out with any guy without seeing his picture first, and then I would think about it more. I thought this guy was nice, and boy what a surprise I got

He is 38 and acts like he is 22. Everything has to be his way and every Sunday he has to visit this parents. Its not a bad thing to visit your parents, but all day every weekend. I wish I had seen the RED FLAGS in this case. Then I wouldn't have gotten hurt by him, a lesson learned!!!

I have met women without a picture in the past and for the most part, things went ok. There were a couple of times when they did not match the description they gave, which, when I catch someone in a lie on a date, is a big turn off for me. So, the ones that lied, I didn't see them again afterwards.

But, the other ones I say, again, I had some pretty good experiences and a couple of bad ones. But, I would meet someone without a pic.

Then again, I usually talk to you for awhile before I meet you in person, pic or no pic. I prefer to chat/talk and get to know eachother alittle better first.

Also, I don't have a pic on here at the moment and can't say when I eill be putting one up. If someone doesn't want to talk to me because I have no pic, that is fine by me.

Besides, right now, I'm just looking to talk anyway.

Just my $0.02
