| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 6/22/2007 11:02:18 PM | Call me chicken, but no way in double h toothpicks would I go on a date with anyone who would not send me a pic first. I don't want to risk having to meet up with some person that I'm zero percent attracted to.
I stand by. No pic=no date | |

When I scount my matches, I read their profile and what they've written instead of evaluating based on their pics if they have one. The interest keyword section is what I pay attention the most. | |

Posted: 6/26/2007 2:35:10 PM | Years ago, I was on a phone dating line and I met a couple of guys without seeing them first. They were o.k. One was actually very handsome. No love connection, though.
I also met a guy through Yahoo Personals without a pic about ten years ago. He didn't look like I expected, but not bad. We saw each other a few times, but he was looking for someone closer to him, and he found her. He would call me from time to time, but I finally stopped answering when I started living with my ex. I don't even remember his name now...isn't that weird? | |

Posted: 6/26/2007 10:13:02 PM | Some fellows have met me without a picture years ago, and were very happy! nearly all are still my friends. No chemistry for me though. Only one feller didn't like me that I am aware of.
In the last couple years I send private pictures. Either way,
pic or not we are gambling.

Posted: 6/27/2007 9:57:59 AM | | For me no pic means no meet. Sorry, but I need to see the person to see if there's any chemistry at all. Why bother if the chemistry is not there. Plus, they could tell you they are tall, dark and handsome when they really look like Curly from The Three Stooges! No surprises for me. If I want to be surprised I'd enter the lottery and then faint if I actually won. | |

Posted: 6/27/2007 12:54:49 PM | | i wish no one had pics. it'd make this much more interested, force people to go into awkward situations and force people to make connections not based on their appearance. right now this is basically just a site to find someone with a pretty face and hope their personality follows suit. it's stupid. | |

If you're working at walmart perhaps.
Has anyone ever fallen in love with a personality? The eyes have it, the smile sells it, and....hell...I dont have a catchy wrap up for that. But age, height, weight have less to do with it than the "whoa" thing does it. The whoa >  | |

Posted: 6/28/2007 2:32:02 AM | A friend of mine has no pic, it's funny because the people that say a "pic should not matter", as soon as he sends them a pic before meeting they cancel the date, so much for personality. I also know guys that are desperate and will contact every woman in their area without a pic. A pic is now a MUST, I have been mislead a few times, I don't care how big you are, what color your hair ,eyes etc...but I must be attracted to you, it's that simple. | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 12:57:24 PM | | Once, and never again. I got the "I am not ugly" line, too. Well, he wasn't ugly, but he was short, broke, and rude. It was hot in the restaraunt where we met for the first time & he put his glass of ice water in my shirt. That was enough for me. I ditched him. | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 1:21:38 PM | | It's been a long time since I met someone on line but when I did.......YES, I met several without a pic. All except for one were a very good experience, we were both very pleased with each other. Thank God I'm above basing someone on a pic or I may have missed out. Some people just don't take good pics but look awesome in person! | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 1:33:26 PM | Yes I have. Good experiences both times. Nothing that went anywhere, but they were nice ladies and we enjoyed coffee.
I'll also say that so far *every* woman I've met who has had a picture has looked better in person. Some of them *way* better. Although I've been told the same, so who knows. | |

Posted: 7/5/2007 9:24:35 AM | I had a friend here on POF that did a few times. Only once did he regret it.
I myself have doneso once or twice and never regretted it. For a fact, my current girlfriend (met on POF) did not have a pic on her profile and didn't see one for a f ew months after we started emailing.
Nowadays, I'd be suspect to any profile, picture or none, because often times the profile is only a small picture of what the person is really like. The accuracy of the profile is subjective for each person. | |
