Posted: 6/26/2006 6:11:37 PM | I've never met anyone from on-line without a pic but I have gone on several blind dates that were set up by friends that did not work out. No big disaster but no "sparks". I probably wouldn't meet someone from on-line without a pic and that makes me think twice about my judgement and I'll tell you why: I fell head over heels with this guy who works with my best friend but only after having lunch with him 5 days a week for 2 months. He had the best personality of anyone I think I had ever met, he was hilarious! But if I had seen him in passing or a pic of him I would not have been attracted to him at all. We dated for a couple of months and I found out he was practically living with another woman in my home town the whole time - go figure! So you never know.
Also, back in February I went out with this guy that I met on POF - he had posted a pic that was about 12 years old - that was ok, the date went fine. I even went out with him a couple of times after that. Everything was good, nothing serious, then one wknd I went to the lake with my family and I had no signal on my cell phone so we didn't talk from Friday evening until Sunday evening. When I finally got a signal I had voice messages and text messages coming out my ears! He went totally bizerk! He still calls and txt me numerous times during the day and night. I haven't responded to a voice mail, text message, IM, or e-mail in months and he just won't go away. Sometimes you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
So I guess pic or not you could find the love of your life or a total freak. Who knows. | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 8:36:44 PM | | Hey dont be too quick to pass on someone with no pic. I met someone very recently with no pic, and i was soo pleasantly surprised. Sometimes you dont know. But then again on hinde site, he could have been ugly. But he wasnt. And he was a total sweetie. Great date, something to remember definitely. Not all men without pics are creeps. But if you have a standard to follow, that makes you comfortable, then stick by it. Remember the pic could be old, of someone else,,ya never know.. | |

How would you find them if they never sent you a pic?
Exactly my point. No way I am gonna go somewhere and walk around waiting for someone to wave at me....I like to know what someone looks like so I know who I am looking for in a public place.
Two people without pics trying to meet must be a lot of fun to watch! LOL | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 9:09:17 PM | SURE HAVE!!!!!
Been With him for 4 months now!
Pics can tell alot and be very alluring,,,,but you MAY find ones you wish you never Met!
If You just ask "why?", sometimes it makes sense,,,,,,and its not always cuz they're married or Jailbirds, either.
Guess I got Lucky here!.........Kissed some real Frogs that I thought were Real Men
B 4 I met Mike! | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 6:16:02 PM | I will not meet anyone unless i receive several pictures from different areas (ie...outside, inside or some thing they like doing). I will talked with several men who have not posted pictures but if I don't receive one then thats the extent of our conversations. We will never meet.
It has nothing to do with looks. For me it has to do with my personal security. If I am going to meet someone from the internet first of all I have copies of all our conversations. Secondly, I give copies of all the pictures of that individual to my close male friends. They know what, when, where, how and why. I tell them everything so they know if I don't come back then they can take some action.
I have never met anyone online and maybe this is why. I am not that desperate to find a man if it puts my personal security at risk. If they are on the "up and up" then this should not be a problem. | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 6:21:27 PM | I can think of 3 women that i have met with no pic........and all 3 times i was very pleasantly surprised!!
For me to answer, and surely to meet someone with no pic, there has to be an extreme connection there. The initial email just has to jump out and grab me......and when chatting with someone with no pic, there personality has to hold my attention.
I think that most people are very visual in their attractions, especially "at first glance".....but lets face it, if they are the best looking person in the room, with no other social skills, it is going to be a very boring and awkward dinner or meeting!!
To those people that refuse to respond to people with no emails....especially the men, you may be missing out on a chance to meet a very exciting lady!! I think that some of the women hate to put their pic out there, especially when they get bombarded by every type of email or suggestive comment imaginable.
I also think that as soon as you determine there are some shared interests, that you should set a meeting. This seems to cut out the feeling of "wasting" time getting to know someone you are not attracted to when you finally do face to face.........just my 2 cents. | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 6:31:34 PM | | I don't mind so much about some not having a photo, if fact I have met men with no posted picture and things were fine (I am not that shallow) what does bother me is illiteracy. thats what absoultley turns me off!!! for christ's sake , dosn't anyone own a dictionary anymore, for that matter there is spell check. unfortunately a lot of people have no respect for the written word aymore. We are the species with the most complex form of communication. I feel that it disrespectful to someone by not communicating with your full brain and attention. | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 7:20:57 PM | | I have never shown a pic of me to anyone on pof, just don't like having my photo taken. I have met 3 guys without photos, 2 who offered to show me a pic first, but since I wasn't going to do the same I refused. The first 2 turned out to be 2 of my very best friends, and the 3rd, well we've been dating for 2 months now. If he'd listened to his friends, we would have never met. | |

Posted: 6/29/2006 7:50:01 PM | I have.
She described herself as "not ugly" and "some say she is cute". SHe gave me her height, and her weight.
When she opened the door, I was impressed with how attractive she really was.
Too bad for me that we had agreed to a temporary friendship only.
~LOL~ | |

Posted: 7/1/2006 1:04:09 AM | Personally...Lets face it.I could post any pic I want.That to me is a superficial and shallow initial basis of character.(I would totally agree with your date).I would make sure I told the person I'm meeting,they better BE who they are.Or I would keep walking.You would know their character immediately. I have found attractive,high caliber,well mantained women have that higher level of self-esteem.That is a fact!
A picture tells a thousand words...But a thousand words tells a pictue. | |

Posted: 7/1/2006 1:16:33 AM | I have met several w/o pics,
% wise I would say 70% or so were not what I consider date material,
the other 30% have been anything from avg. to hot IMO
I met someone last week with no pic on her profile (but she did send it via email before we met). She contacted me initially.
I always ask for a pic before meeting these days though,
I have wasted too much time/effort/money/etc. in the past meeting those w/o a pic and learned to ask 1st.
Good luck  | |

i will always get a great laugh over people who insist a pic is required before meeting...wether as just a casual meeting...to see the common factors...wether as just acquaintances or future friends...or possible lovers ..daters and more serious relationships.
i have met well over a 100 people online(m/f both)..as all aspects..and yup most are with no pic...since i am not a phsyical attraction person and never ever have been since a teenager. i always go on the person themselves and always will.
what irks me most is the people who are so skin sensitive..i not talking pretty eyes.,gorgious smile..or wether a person is skinny average or over weight....
its even funnier..when someone who is just average or below in most people's judgement on thier looks think they actually have a chance or deserve a beauty queen or muscle man. sorry people...the media and fashion outlets have turned most people as they grow older into delusioned puppets.
i am the type of person..if you cant amuse and entertain my mind you can be burt reynolds or even john wayne kind of sex objects.. you will find the curb real fast. looks may attract most but personality builds a commited relationship.
i want someone real in time...not a fairy tale on looks that has a deadly ending....looks can be lost in a second...most people are to nieve to even consider this when looking for a partner.
a fire...car accident....etc etc etc....medical handicaps....all can happen..the person will normally not change on these personality wise. me msyelf....i would take the inside always as it never changes to much from what it was designed to be for that person as they grow in life.
remember...a heavier person can drop the weight..surgery can correct skin imperfections at times...but a shallow person can never grow and get far enough into the depths of appreciation of another person or the depth of acceptance.
as i tell my kids..look at the family you love most...would you hate or reject a aunt/or your mother for being over weight??? if so..then what would you think of your uncle/or father for accepting a woman and staying with her in thier life. which is disrespecting them as they are women also...
as for female..think the reverse..what if your father was over weight wether 5 10 or 100 pounds...and your mother stayed and accepted him for the love she had for him for being who he is.
i have met both sexes ..no pics..some i would walk away from if i ever went on looks physically.... but after getting to know some...they are great people. a few guys i dated that way..i got some nice experiences for most and others...welll not so nice.
but wasnt over looks..it was over thier personality/characteristics and just being them
 good or bad...but i always try to see them for who they are as a person | |
