i don`t think i would ever meet up with anyone that did`nt have a pic as they could turn out to be complety different to want they said they were in their profile which i think is worng and a waste of time because that person is just going to find out that u lie

Just because they dont post a pic means that they are fat and ugly,,,I dont post one and I do NOT fit in that category. Yes there are exceptions to the rule,,,went out with this one guy he told me that he met this lady,,,and she looked nothing like her pic,,,when he told her she replied, I dont like my pics so I use my friend's pic instead,,,,he simply said,,,sorry you wasted your time coming,,,bye,,,,,

If someone doesnt have a picture there is definately something they are hiding. I have had the experience a few times and every time she was either fat, or ugly. SO ASK FOR A PICTURE BEFORE MEETING.

I have met some really nice and nice looking people who had no photo. Sometimes a person really does want to find someone who is looking for the real beauty within and has the confidence to stand their ground against the 95% of people on here who are superficial. Tell me, what's the risk for meeting someone ugly/fat/ whatever, when the person has no photo posted against the risk for someone ugly, fat/whatever, who posts someone else's photo? I give much more credit to the person with no photo. You only live once - take a chance outside of your comfort zone! You might just be pleasantly surprised! Talk about being confined in a box!!!

It is so hard in this day and age to see so many narrow minded and simple minded people,,,no pic dont mean a damn thing,,we are not hiding anything,,,,I have met many of men with no pic,,,so what are they hiding,,,when I agree to meet someone,,,they give me their personal addy and I sent a pic,,,if they still want to meet find,,,if not that is ok as well. If women puts up glamour pics,,,they throw a fit,,,,I dont know what the men today are smoking or drinking,,,well yeah I guess I do,,,,just because no pic means nothing,,,you dont want to meet someone with no pic,,,that is your decision,,,but do not call those of us who do not post pics, fat, ugly, whatever or hiding things,,,,,,check yourself in the mirror before you call other people names,,,,,,

I met a man once with no pic prior to it. His profile had been so sweet and heartwarming
he"d even said he was a "few extra pounds"...but..evidently his way of thinking about that description..and mine..was totally different.I was thinking"Omar Scarrife"...He was more
"Pillsbury Dough-boy"...I felt like I was commited to at least be nice and friendly to him
he did a lot of "memory lane" talking..which I thought that would probably be all he was needing...just someone to "Listen"....then..suddenly..he reached out and pulled me close and kissed me!....This was like a "Torture" I couldn"t escape. He smelled like "moth-balls"..which
didn't help any. we parted friendly....but..I really hope I"ll never see him again...anywhere!
that broke me of the idea that pics don"t matter. Even then...the pic can turn out to be "old" or "borrowed" from a friend...so.."check "em out"...don"t guess!..you"ll be glad you did!

Even if they don't have a picture posted, I've found webcamming is a great way to see someone before you meet in person.

I WAS going to meet someone without a pic, but I waited and waited at the coffees shop, and he never came. We had confirmed plans a couple of days in advance, and his reason for not showing up was that he didn't hear anything from me after that. Hello, we'd already confirmed! And if he did need some assurance, it wouldn't have taken him but two seconds to zap me a message. I've been lied to for the last 3 1/2 years, I recognize a lame excuse when I hear one...

I just met a guy without a pic two weekends ago. Not good. The guy was from a different dating site, said he was tall, handsome, and strong. Turned out he looked a lot older than he said he was, was as round as he was tall, and was balding. It was not a pretty picture. People at least have to be honest about how they look and not embellish. Ugh!!! lol

I have had quite a few men contact me with a profile that states what they think we all want to hear. They do not have a picture and I have never asked for one. They do however offer to send one almost immediatly if I will just give them my email address, or addy as you call it. That in it's self is so very dangerous. Do you know the things that the sly, dishonest scammers will do to you and your computer with just that much personal information. There is an option on here to have your photo ready but not posted. There is no reason why they should need your address just to be able to confirm who they might possibly be. They can send it as an attachment in the email offered on this site. Why you might ask yourself, do they want your yahoo or MSN screen name so quickly or your email address. POF offers everything they would need for initial and further communication. Please be smart about this, all who read it. POF has a post with advise about scammers. Read it and take note. You will only be protecting yourself. I'm not saying that all who ask are scammers, crooks or just freaks who like to mess with peoples lives. What I am saying, is becareful. Think wisely before you give something away that may have reprocusions. Good luck, Be safe and have some fun, hopefully.

in my personal opinion , if you are in the same state ....you have better chances of creating a stalker if you post a picture ....and with out a picture simply says what it says ....beauty is skin deep.

I have met people off the net without pictures... let me just say it created the precedent I have now that THERE MUST be a photo shown and a current one before I will meet anyone! It's too scary both times that I did it I was literally shocked....jaw dropped shocked and it wasn't in a "oh he's so hot kinda way!" On top of that both individuals lied about what they looked like... therefore NEVER AGAIN!

I do not have a photo to post on line, Reasons
1. I do not have a CURRENT photo to post, unlike some that post one 10 years old.
2. I am like a person that is afraid of heights, I hate a Camera
3. If a person likes me for me, great, if its all by looks or totally outer appearance that is shallow.

hope this explains a little why I dont have one.
I respect the wishes of those that have a requirements for a photo that is why we are free to make choices. Respect me too, I do not like to have my photo made.

I have met a few people from online and some liked me and some did not, I do not think any one can say I told that I was one thing and then they found out differently.

I guess all baskets have a bad apple that makes it hard on the others.

I would suggest use good judgement, later

Again - if you have no picture and feel beauty is only skin deep, and you know people who want photos are shallow, how did you get this information? I hope not by contacting someone with a pic - that would make the situation hypocritical. Oh, and I suppose if you did contact someone with a picture you're going to say it wasn't the photo that prompted your initial contact. Uh huh.

If you browse pictures, then you have no argument. If you have no picture, and you don't want to be asked for one and want to be valued by who you are and what you say, then contact other non-photo people.

That should clear up the problem, and the need for this thread.

That is all.

Yes I met a couple without pics. Not again. Why can't people learn that if you state something in your profile such as height or weight when you meet if it is wrong it is a lie.
A lie is no foundation for a friendship or relationship.

Yes I have and I am very happy!!!!

I for one usually dont respond to ads without pics, but for some strange reason I did for this one and we have been together for 6MONTHS!!!!!!! COUNT THEM!!!!!! 6!!!!!

It is truly strange that we hit it off because he is an introvert and I am an extrovert, but we also have a lot in common family-wise.

I am saying that if you get some weird vibe and you have talked on the phone, even though you havent met, and he seems nice, GIVE IT A TRY!!!!!

And maybe, just maybe, you will be as happy as I am!!!!!

I never have met someone without a picture first, but totally would, if the situation were as you have described.
If there is the chemistry on here, imagine what it is in person....

I personally just get the feeling that when someone does not
show a pic they are hiding SOMETHING most times.

I have tried blind date meetings in the past and people have NOT
accurately described themself before that took place, too unsettling
for the date/meeting to go well in not knowing what to expect first.
