| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 5/8/2006 1:18:19 AM | | My reasons are the same as yours and i tell them straight up that their pic is also my way of staying safe!! i give the mans name and pic to my son, then, if mischief is afoot he knows what to do!! I also have to have some type of physical attraction to them since you cannot get a personality out of type....... met two but not from this site , both were obese!!! I said no more without a pic and that is final!!!!! hahahaha | |

Posted: 5/8/2006 1:56:14 AM | I met a boyfriend like that! I was skeptical and thought he'd be a cyclops or something but he was really cute. Plus a few random pictures online don't really give you that much of a sense of how people look. Some people only post body shots, some only face shots, some post blurry pictures, some post pics from 10 years ago!
I guess I can sort of understand the safety thing but for the fact if I met someone online I would meet them in a very public place and not put myself in a risky situation. Plus chances are you would have his phone # and full name - give that to a friend or something "just in case" | |

Posted: 5/8/2006 7:19:46 PM | | Actually, I 've met someone that did not post a picture. Not only is she very smart, funny and great to talk to, but she is very pretty. What makes it better, is that she knows I did not contact her based on a photo. I actually read the profile and talked with her because of who she is. Makes it more genuine! | |

Posted: 5/8/2006 8:42:58 PM | | Yes I would and have. As you can see I am married and dont want my wife to know I am on this site. Now before you get all uppity on me, you have to know my situation. Im not getting divorced because of the kids. Im not happy with my wife because she does nothing. Nothing in this case is defined as no job, does not clean the house, cook, mow the lawn, or even make love with me. Dont get all PC on me, I just think that if I work all day and bring in the only income, she should at least keep the house up. Now I know some of you are going to say well what have you done for her? My answer is a new house built to her specs, new car, the one she wanted, jewley, etc. Id even take her to concerts, but she is a fun hater. So I am looking for married women in the same boat as me.......with or without a picture. | |

Posted: 5/9/2006 5:23:26 PM | Ok, gotta tell you this story about the ONLY guy I met that didn't have a pic on his profile. Normally I wouldn't even consider it, because well you know, the guy could have an extra eye in his forehead or something. Anyway, I chatted for about 3 weeks online with him, and then another week on the phone, and honestly, I have to say that I was very smitten with him. I had already asked him why no pic, and he said he wanted to meet someone that liked him for him, not for how he looks. So ok, I'm thinking, YEAH RIGHT!! But I was so interested in him that I decided to meet him after numerous attempts to convince me to. Of course, we're gonna meet in a public place, so I asked him, how am I going to know you. He said, did you ever watch the show, Magnum P.I., I've been asked for my autograph before from people that thought I was him. And again, YEAH RIGHT!! But I didn't have my hopes up, so I didn't tell him that I was a huge Tom Selleck fan, but I met him, and instantly I walked up to the only guy there that looked like Tom. WOW, a little thinner maybe, but his clone.
But even though he was an extremely attractive man to me, someone else thought so to, since I found out later he was married. | |

Posted: 5/9/2006 5:35:46 PM | Oh Gawd I did. He lied about his looks totally. Really, I'm not shallow but he was 15 years older, bald, and very unattractive....can u say egor?
No I am not perfect but I don't lie about those things. I was polite and hung with him 4 2 hours. (even though he mislead me) Hoping he would have a personality. It was not the issue of his looks, only that he LIED about them Then he tried to make out with me...ewwwwwwwwwwww never again. | |

Posted: 5/9/2006 11:01:11 PM | | its like a big chance either way, who is to say the pic matches the person. i have met two ladies and they were both way different than the pic. we still hang out. its kinda funny to see how cought up people get over a pic that might be fake. | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 2:58:37 PM | | I have met guys online with pictures and they were looked nothing like the pictures they posted and I have met guys with no picture and they were hot. So posting a picture does not mean that the person is going to look anything like the picture they posted. | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 3:09:39 PM | There is a man from my city that posted a picture that had to have been 30 years old, and it was obviously an old pic. You would think 'kk, now what does the guy look like'. Being me and willing to meet new people, 'judge not yet ye be judged', I took the time to meet him.
Would you believe that the man looked so close to the same I thought the picture was possibly digitally aged. He had not aged other then a little grey, and in the photo one could not tell if there would have been a little grey.
So picture, no picture, fake picture, altered picture, or stolen pic off the net. It comes down to meeting a new and interesting person. Which one should never do until they feel comfortable with the personality they are putting forth in communication.
Best wishes we could all use them. | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 9:46:05 PM | | Nope I wouldn't but hey ya know what I mean I think this just comes down to basically what people value, and for some people the physical attraction being there is just more important to them than others. I have read other people say before that they thought it's just really not that hard this day in age to go n get a pic of you somehow and scan it and upload and post it and when you are on a dating site you kind of have to be doing whatever you can to show what you have to offer, not just with writing and words and all but in the physical sense too, and sorry but a written out description would not be enough I don't think cos they could leave out important things that you'd be able to see in a picture so that would just not be good at all. I wouldn't do it cos there are enough people on here who DO have pics so it's important just to be able to to have that and also for if you arrange to meet then you'll know who you're lookin for! Straightforward enough, imo but whatever, if it really doesn't matter at all to some people then that's good if the personality and how they are is what matters most to them, but most people need there to be a bit of physical attraction at least so ya. | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 10:53:30 PM | I have met one man from POF who had a pic-he was even better looking than his pic, and easy to talk to... Guess I was not a match for him though...Am currently talking to someone w/o a pic, and I do like his personality, hope we *can* eventually meet...:) Also have met one guy from another site who said he wasn't himself-a while back, funny now, not then...
Guess we all could probably write a book-or at least a chapter or two.... | |

Posted: 5/13/2006 9:08:12 PM | | I recently went on a blind date, having exchanged some nice emails, and for the first time was taken aback by someone's appearance. I'm no stud, not anything close to model material, and maybe we were even a close match, but I can say without any hesitation that had I seen her picture beforehand there would have been no date. The experience gave me keen insight into how women must feel when I send them my picture. I will never again wonder why someone lost interest in me because of my appearance. It will take me a while to adjust, accept this status, relinquish hopes, but it's for the best, and will make me suitably humble next time so that I will be as generous to the person I meet as I must ask of them to be with me. | |

Posted: 5/14/2006 8:22:52 AM | Good for you. I've gone out with fellas with no pics. I don't have one up myself because of the type of responses..."Oh, your so beautiful, WOW those green eyes, your smile...." I decided to see if there are men out there that are reading my profile and not just looking. Yea, I know men are visual and the chemistry thing. I want interaction to be on a different level other looks. KEY here is really listening to what and how they say things, internet as well as text and on the phone. Useing the instincts has never failed me. Seriously.
Recently, I've been talking with a fella from this site. He has pics and I don't. The conversations have been on a larger scale - depth. Very cool the energy exchange.Not about the Broncs or Avs. We haven't met. Don't have to. It is what it is and I'm enjoying it. | |

Posted: 5/16/2006 2:56:24 PM | | I met a guy online a couple of months ago, not on POF, he sounded lovely, no pic! although he could see my pic, he kept saying he would send me one, but he never did.....in the end I decided to meet him, and what a let down, he was small, and i am 5ft 2in, and he had the biggest pot belly I have ever seen! I wont ever forget how i felt when i saw him coming out of his car to meet me, and I swear I will never ever meet a guy without a pic again. Needless to say this guy was really nice, but the pot belly got in the way!! | |

Posted: 5/16/2006 3:10:12 PM | | I won't meet people without seeing there pic, cause I like to know who I'm talking to. Without a pic, makes me feel they have something to hide. Althou at times do talk to people that don't have pics, but when ask for one it never comes. Fair is fair NO? | |

Posted: 5/17/2006 1:35:38 AM | You know what I think is first and formost why does anyone have to post a pciture of themselves.Does it make them anyless of a person for not posting a picI dont think so.You are on an on-line dating service.People are here to get past the computer thing and into hopefully a long term caring and honest relationship.Yes this thing is shallow but there are people here who once they get past shallow then they actually might meet some one who cares for them not for their bank accounts.Face reality if you talk to some one without a pic there maybe some legitimate reason as to why they havent posted a pic.Life is a bowl of cherries so get out of the pits | |
