Posted: 7/24/2006 6:22:43 AM | Yes, plenty of times!!!
Is was before the computer, and was called a "Blind Date"
Would I on here???? Only if they had a good excuse why not. E-mails and phone calls before meeting would tell if their reason was "legit" or they was swiming on the side of the pond loaded with confusion and paranoia.
Stalkers, Rapist, Child Molesters/abductors, Identtity thief...Its all running rampid in the world (or at least in the pond LMAO )..Just read the forums here.. 
Seriously though ...I'll add a little more agreement with RollerGrrl. It's not SHALLOW it's called PREFERENCE..period. Just like joining a Dating site and posting and saying what you like....PREFERENCE Just like not dating out of my race, does not make me a racist. Not dating the same sex, does not make me homo-phobe...PREFERENCE
All the Writer guys yanking their self rightious judgentmetal BS from their podium who's to date who, how,where,and WHAT to post here!!!
Get the REAL deal...It's about freedoms, and choices, and not for me to dictate yours.
More....

Posted: 7/24/2006 6:34:51 AM | I'm sorry I think it is just shallow how some people think... not even to talk to someone without a pic? Come on!!!
Maybe people have reasons for not posting one...I have an ex who is a nut and tries to stalk me every chance he gets.. so I don't post one. and even if a guy says' ok send me one in private' I still don't cause it could be him.. No I am not paranoid... I just know how nuts he is.. he has done it before and I caught him....
Anyway, I have had guys that have a pic displayed and turns out it was either an old pic.. and the guy hasn't aged well, or not even him at all... which is deceitful...so what else is he lying about I wonder?
So I only meet someone in person.. that is the best way to see them and to get to know them to see their expressions and if there is any chemistry... problem is some guys are so shallow that they won't even talk to someone anymore... ok I will get off my soapbox | |

Preference is one thing, libel is another. Refusing to date outside your race may be a preference, but if you refused to date outside your race while using ethnic slurs and derogatory insults against those other races, you would, indeed, be racist; the same applies for homosexuals.
Preferring to only meet or talk to those with pictures may be a preference, but labelling those of us without one as "suspicious", "untrustworthy", or worse is another thing. You wouldn't be able to come into a thread and toss those insults toward another race, gender, or sexual preference, why is it perfectly acceptable when it's directed toward those who choose, for whatever reasons, to not post a photo? | |

| Twice met s/o w/out a picture...
Posted: 7/25/2006 7:34:38 PM | When I first began internet dating, I did this twice. Once it even followed up some zingy, witty conversations back and forth. I suppose I could have asked for a picture, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. When we met, there was zilch in the chemistry department. Even worse, one was for dinner rather than coffee. It was unbearable because there was no connection and conversation just choked and died.
It may sound shallow, but I have come to terms with the fact that I am just more attracted to certain types and appearances than others. (e.g., brunettes vs. blondes. Don't aske me why; it's just how I'm wired.) Granted, there have been times when pictures have been deceiving, but at least it's a starting point. Got to be true to myself. | |

Posted: 7/26/2006 6:41:40 PM | I am relatively new to online dating and a bit niave ( SP CH )
I had 2!! Bad experiances with ladies with out photos.
Same as you . We had great diolog on line then over to phone.
Let me try to be polite, When we did meet, well lets just say
neither gal would be able to keep up with me and my dog on a hike
let alone treking through Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
You lucked out with the pilot. BTW I am a straight guy and know a few pilots.
They are all good looking guys. Alot of them are Bi and remember
they keep a low profile because they Have Wings!!
Good luck with yours. | |

Posted: 7/29/2006 9:34:55 AM | Everyone needs to look at this kind of topic realistically.
sure some can say that only dating or being with someone
attractive is being shallow. But it's an important factor in
any relationship. There's the mental connection and the
physical connection. Anyone who says it's not important
is lying to themselves and being unrealistic. To not post
your picture on a site like this is pointless. ppl want to know
what they are getting into. Why even start a conversation
with someone... (if you are looking for love) if you can't even
say you like what they look like. If there's nothing to hide
then there should be a pic of you for all to see. As for waiting
to see if you like them before you send them a pic? Games...
that's simply playing games. Honesty is ALWAYS the best
policy. | |

Posted: 7/29/2006 5:31:13 PM | | I think the question was were you willing to meet them without benefit of a picture first. I for one am not saying I wont chat with someone without a picture. Hey!! Look!! Im responding to your post without having seen a picture... lighten up.... nobodys demanding anything... its just a preference.... | |

Posted: 7/30/2006 1:04:24 PM | | There are a lot of dirty women too, if you demand a pic don't bother with me, I'm too good for you. I'll almost any woman off here as long as there not in the social work field. I don't need the head games. People who demand pics are absolutely shallow and can't look on the inside of a person. I would not have my best female friend if I had demanded a pic. | |

Posted: 7/31/2006 2:17:44 PM | Personally speaking, I prefer to have a face to place to the person I am talking to, otherwise my (sometimes overactive) imagination creates a picture instead. And I am sure that most of us here will admit that our imaginations rarely, for one reason or another, match reality, in either way. How many times have you spoken to someone, then met them and they were exactly what you saw in your mind? (Please don't take that to mean that I think that looks are the be-all and end-all to relationships, because that couldn't be further from the truth.)
On the other hand of course, there are some people, for one reason or another, post pictures that are not of themselves. I got talking to someone once, a few years back that I met in a chatroom, and we got on well. She sent a picture after a while and I sent one to her. Phone calls and weeks of chatting and when we finally met, it turned out that she was using her daugter's photo and was 20'ish years older than she admitted. We still got on for that meeting, but I found that with all the lies that she had told (Not just the photo, but that is where it started, when she was too nervous to post her own.), I just felt no trust for her.
Basically, you can't win! There are always some people out there who are more than willing to misrepresent themselves, even though, if you are going to meet up, you will notice the difference. Thing is, if they are willing to lie consistantly about just about everything that is supposed to be happening in their lives (And there are people like that out there) then what are they going to worry about posting some random pic they copied off someone-else's webpage or profile?
Heh, no conclusions here it seems folks, but I for one would still meet someone without a pic if we got on well. Hey, it's got to worth an hour or two of my time right? You never know who may be "The One" after all!
LOL, sorry again for the long post folks (Maybe I should use that for a tagline?)  | |

Posted: 7/31/2006 8:53:02 PM | This is funny, My sister who is older than me, and would never ever be on a dating
site...... Kept talking to this guy who she knew thru work, and talked to him on the phone.
He kept asking her out, and well finally she gave in, never seeing him before.
They meet at the restaurant, and They say there hellos and he smiles and he is missing his front teeth. OMG ( You would have to know my sister. )I am sure she was trying to sink under the table, and prayed she did not see any one she knows. They get done eating and they get up from the table and she starts walking to the door and he puts his arm around her shoulder and strolls to the register to pay. They get out in the parking lot, and he says
you never know you just might get lucky and I will ask you out again. Then he gave her this big old kiss, and she was like pushing him away saying ok well I gotta go. lol................
Oh to be a fly on the wall,,, When she told me about this, I laughed so hard I peed my pants.
So, I would never go meet someone with out a picture.
lol | |
