Posted: 10/3/2006 1:00:49 PM | | I search out women with out pic's first. 1. because that way i can read the profile and not have the physical features of ones pic cloud my search for that one perfect woman. Let your big brain do the thinking and avoid the little brains suggestions. Looks are fading and the person you are with could be shallow, gold diggers, ****es/***holes or worse. Women that put in their profile that I will just delete you if you dont have a picture ...well that tells what kind of women they are inside "UGLY, HIDDIOUS,SHALLOW,COW" now that does not apply to all but it does to the large majority. Remember pictures can be edited, faked, just like people. | |

Posted: 10/3/2006 3:55:18 PM | good on you.
I have my picture on here on and off, purely because I'm only on here to chat and sometimes when my my picture is on I get too many messages from people who want more than to chat, it gets on my nerves, does that make me wrong?
as I said before good on you for not wanting more than was on offer, and hey glad you got a bonus!! | |

Posted: 10/3/2006 6:09:53 PM | Hey all! Wow when I started this thread 18 months ago I had no idea it would be such a hot topic. Here is an update for you all. Things with the pilot did not work out. In fact after chatting for months I never did see him again so maybe he was married after all for all I know. I have met others since with no picture and here is a hint. If they sound really confident in general and with their looks it's probably a good indication. If they start asking you if you are shallow..and if looks are more important to you than personality....it's an indication that THEY are not happy with their looks and that makes them less attractive right there. We all like confident people no matter what they look like.
I met another one with no pic just two weeks ago. He was even more gorgeous than the pilot. Again I had a pretty good idea from talking to him that we would click since he just reeked of confidence. His look just happened to be my taste and that was a bonus. Too early to tell if he is as attractive on the inside but I will keep you posted! 
Good luck to you all whatever you base your dating choices on. Just be safe and treat others as you would want to be treated....  | |

Posted: 10/4/2006 5:25:54 AM | | I did agree to meet someone without a pic, although I did get a pic before i actually met them but after I agreed, we got on and she was ok but circumstances dictated that it wasn;t to be as she had issues with an ex. Oh well lol | |

Posted: 10/8/2006 5:47:52 PM | i haven't even met someone with a picture yet let alone none at all....
but my feelings are like you said in a way....
i know there will be people for personal reasons some way or another who are real and are
almost testing the water.......but are a dimond in the earth..
but i don't think it is shallow to see the person....i hate when people reference that....
i will speak to anyone regadeless if i find them attractive or not.
it's just wanting to see who we are talking to. probably the most natural instict lol.
anyway..back to the question...no i haven't...but i wouldn.t rule it out | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 4:25:00 AM | | well i wish i had a good tale too tell.i did once meet a "6foot rugby build guy " who had no pic...he was 5"4 and as wide as he was tall. i couldnt see the point and it was more the lies that bugged me. im a single parent so time wasters really bug me as i work fulltime too. although pictures arent always of the person they say they are,,,after months of pulling my hair out about it all i use online ID before i meet people ( getfingered.co.uk) and i feel safer and at least they are who they say they are...works a treat at riding your inbox of liars and fakes too !which is great as online dating should be fun and it bugs me that some spoill it for the majority of decent people :) have fun and stay safe ;) | |

Not putting a picture representative of what you look like is the goofiest thing I have ever seen on a dating site.
There are more on this site than others ...most are married, I imagine, and others must have warrants out...or are hiding something
oh, and you PWP people...(profiles without pictures)...who will likely jump all over me for saying publicly that you are buffoons…if you want to waste your time posting all the dribble everyone has heard before, lame excuses and reasons why you choose not to post your picture…go right ahead. I certainly will not participate in engaging with you about it.
Try the newspaper classified personals…we have GRAPHICS CARDS today…and very cheap digital cameras can be had..
Post your pictures | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 7:33:40 AM | Hi, I too have responded to men who didn't post their picture. It does turn out okay. I mean that sometimes because of the type of work they do, they don't want to post a photo. The man I met worked as a police officer. But I wanted someone who wasn't a player and he had other ideas. That doesn't discourage me from trying again. | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 9:01:15 AM | Me and my Ex met through a fourm with a similar interest. Neither of us knew what we looked like the whole 3 or 4 months we chatted before we met in person. My dad took me to meet him, I was only about 18 when I met him. I was intimidated by his looks because he was much bigger then me and I was glad I brought someone with me to meet him cuz otherwise I would have felt unsafe. But the best way to fall in love with someone is to not know what they look like until you meet them because then you are surprised, and you already like them for who they are even if you are not attracted to them.
The best thing to do when your meeting someone without a picture to show you, in person is to bring a friend. (I was only 18 so yeah I brought my dad when I met him cuz I knew my dad would take down any guy who would try to hurt me). | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 12:58:59 PM | | I'm sorry it didn't work out between you and your ex , Mysterious Pink Angel. I must say, your story is going to touch alot of hearts out there young lady. It sounds like you've got a close family and a great Dad who looks out for his little girl. Blessings to you both and I wish you the very best in your search. | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 1:12:50 PM | I have met people before without pics...I don't have a problem with it as long as people are honest about their ages. I like older individuals which is my preference. I met one person who said they were about 45 in their profile (okay cool my cup of tea) meet up the kid is 19. No thanks!  | |

Wow. What does it say about you that you've chosen to ignore all of the pleasant experiences posted in this thread, and have, instead, decided that your best bet would be name-calling?
I guess having a photo is not always a testament to character, eh? | |

Posted: 10/9/2006 5:13:49 PM | I have, but unfortunatly in the instances I have the person never got back to me, so I really have no experiance to offer.
I have gone on dates with folks who had pictures, and have learned that people may look very different in person than they do in their photo.
Really, even what someone writes, or how they sound on the phone may not be a good indication of a match. For me the test of whether or not I click with somoene has been meeting them in person. Even then, they may loose or gain ground depending on our interactions.
I call it the 'VaVaVoom!' factor, which has part to do with looks, part to do with personality, and part to do with something intangible. Any of the three can partially, but not compleatly comp for the other. A girl who may seem plain at first glance may become a knockout as thier personality shines through, and a bombshell could bust if there just isn't any chemestry.
Anyway, getting away from the point which is, picture or not, results may vary. | |

Yes, I have a few times. It's always a disaster so I would not recommend anyone do that for any reason. There's a reason some dont come with pics.
That's not always true, some people are just shy or dunno how to get thier pic up there and if u talk to them long enough they will send a pic to your cell and u are pleasantly surprised but then they get back with thier ex after meeting you and it all goes "tits-up". | |

use online ID before i meet people ( getfingered.co.uk)
What is that exactly and is that an international thing ?
I do find that the people of which you speak ruin it for the good guys I am indeed of the same philosophy as you which is - why lie, if you like the person you will meet and you will get found out. It ruins it for the rest of us who are essentially honest and then fly under the radar becasue the women spend 6mths chatting to like you say some fat guy who said he was an addonis.
If I was a woman I would go for the average guys with average pics and see if they have an excellent personality. I actually tend to steer clear of lingerie shots aswell thos ewomen either try too hard for 1 thing, they wanna mess with guys heads, they aint even guys or they are trying to solicite for porn sites. See us men have our issues too lol | |

I think you're being a little harsh. I am shy I hate my picture being taken I have a job in the public sector where is one of the students i taught came across my picture it could be awkward yet I have still put a picture up. I am with the other guy it's not a hard thing to do.
I think that if you don;t publicly display a pic you should have one at least available.
I personally would take the risk on a no pic scenario but i definately agree with the guy you're slating because he makes valid points. Who are you to assasinate his character because he has a differing POV.

Posted: 10/10/2006 4:06:01 AM | | I met one guy on plenty of fish without seeing his picture. I had never even talked to him. I knew I was going to love him and when waiting his arrival, I had a special feeling in my heart for him. He moved in with me and my family 1 week after his arrival OK, he was not a man, he is my nephew who is now grown up and on plenty of fish. I just wanted to be truthful and funny. | |
