| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 11/10/2006 10:24:28 AM | I never had a pic posted until after I got married. I had no problem at all getting dates. In fact some days I was going on three dates a day.
I also had no problem dating guys with no pics up. I will admit that it makes it a bit more difficult to spot them in a crowded room, but we found ways of figuring it out.
You shouldn't be so closed minded. If I had only dated men with pics, I would have missed out on a ton of really great friendships. I am still friends with most everyone I have met online, pic or not. | |

if all you can do is judge people on their looks, hey, knock yourself out.
if you can spend the time to get to know who the other person is inside, and learn to value that more then anything outside, then regardless of their looks or possessions, if you like who they are inside, you would have found someone very valuable.
but hey, i'm one of those 1 in a million kinda people who gets offended and turned off by everyone elses tendancy to look at life with the shallow, superficial, materialistic outlook on life, probably why i see so many people who care about such things don't have such a great time finding the right one, because your looking in the wrong place.
but if you need a pic, knock yourself out | |

I don't feel that it is shallow when someone wants to exchange pictures. In this day in age, there is someone that will help you upload a picture onto your computer. Even if it is just to show the ones you are emailing.
Yes, went on a date with no pic.... His profile sounded wonderful... He described himself to be somewhat attractive and all..... just forgot to mention a few things that would have been important to know...
Would I do it again with someone else? NO WAY.... | |

Posted: 11/11/2006 6:59:44 AM | The lack of a photograph in a user’s profile has undoubtedly accrued a negative connotation - for good reason, perhaps, at least in some cases – but to categorically dismiss all persons falling under this distinction is maybe a little unfair; I am of the mind that these things are relative, not absolute, and should be treated as such – which is to say, on an individual basis.
I have yet to post a picture of myself (unless, of course, you think that my countenance resembles that of a 350 lb. gorilla, which is possible  ) in part because I want to preserve a modicum of playful ambiguity; however, if someone asks me to provide them with a picture (following some productive conversation), I’ll gladly comply.
But to each his/her own. | |

Posted: 11/11/2006 2:20:00 PM | I have met many people without pics, what's the worst that could happen? Nothing that bad.
In my experience a lot of the hotter women DO NOT have pics.
50% of the time I've met a woman without pics, she's turned out to be very, very good looking. A lot of my female friends don't have pics because if they put some up, they'd get too many msgs to even be able to do anything besides answer floods of mail. | |

Posted: 11/11/2006 8:16:14 PM | | I would. I'm planning to, if he'll co-operate. What exactly is the worst that could happen? A meeting with someone whose profile and letters I like? Where's the downside? If there's no attraction, big deal. I hope we can still have a nice cup of coffee and a chat. | |

Posted: 11/12/2006 7:24:53 PM | I think that if they dont post there picture, they need to send you a picture to your personal email if they are interested in you. There is no reason to have to meet anybody without seeing a picture first. Its not rocket science. That is why we have all this technology so that we can use it!!!! | |

Posted: 11/12/2006 7:56:22 PM | | I had a very bad experience years ago meeting someone "blind". So, no I'll never do that again. It makes me suspicious if someone says that they can't post a pic or don't even have one. When I finally have talked them into a pic, I found they weren't worth the trouble 9/10 times. And by not worth the time, I just mean that I wasn't attracted to them and I wouldn't have wasted their time in the first place. | |

Posted: 11/15/2006 9:00:04 AM | It is ridiculous that one would not talk to some one with no pic I do not have a pic because I have no camera and I need to get my pic taken. Also I use a pc at college. There are many reasons people do not have pics you might be missing out on the love of your life so all you guys out there that have no pic do not be afraid to email me!!!  | |

Posted: 11/15/2006 3:36:24 PM | | I've met many a man. without a pic. I take my time chat with him. then move it to the phone , then agree to met all without a pic. If you like the guy the conversations are good....who cares if he has no picture/ you will find out soon enough when you meet how he looks.,,,,,,isn't the person. how he is. what makes him tick.....more important... | |

Posted: 11/16/2006 7:17:44 AM | | safety reasons........??your going to have to explain that one. how does seeing how a guy looks in his picture have anything to do with safety??????? wouldn't it be better talking to him on here and getting his phone number and you calling him to talk to him at his number be the safety more so then getting to see a picture???????? | |
