| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 1/4/2008 2:37:31 PM | I did, the first girl i met on POF, so it didn't seem strange to me lol ! She was stunning, I'm so glad i hadn't seen her pic as it may have put me off meeting her !! I was nervous enough, never mind meeting a girl so beautiful !
Anyway, the night went fantastic, and the good news is although we are not dating, I have met a wonderful friend, hopefully for life.......there are a lot of different reasons for people being anonymous, most of them genuine...........Derek | |

Posted: 1/4/2008 5:00:57 PM | Its brave? - I didn't know that!
The first time I spoke to someone on a computer ( alright it was a terminal) was in the 70's. I guess no pic just seems normal or familiar to me.
Pics are fine and no pics are fine with me. From there its about profile and mail content and substance, something of interest. The only pics I don't care for are blurry, out of focus, dark, too light, funny pixels, etc. clearly from different ages especially when the main pic is from some more youthful time in life.
Pics make for annoying pic collectors with nothing in common and no interest beyond the surface. And they get pissy when you turn them down!
A males home phone number is more important. An actual determining factor.
 Yes great dates from no pics. | |

Posted: 1/22/2008 12:28:58 AM | | I have'nt dated anyone from here who did'nt have a picture, but I would'nt mind going on a blind date if atleast the lady sounds really nice on the phone before I meet her. For me it's 70% about personality and only 30% about looks. I consider myself a nice guy and if a nice lady who does'nt have a picture wants to date me, I Will be Honoured to meet her. | |

Posted: 1/22/2008 9:42:11 AM | "Why I do not talk to people with no pics:
-- it is not fair for them to see me and me not see them
-- if they end up being a creepy stalker I want to know what they look like
-- when we meet people in real life, we see what they look like
-- I am here to find people I am attracted to... if I do not know what they look like then I do not know if I am attracted to them
-- worst case scenario: they do not have pic cause they are married/have gf and they do not want their significant other to see them using dating services"
Do you think that some even with pictures do that to their significant other? Does anyone on here go to a messenger like msn, even though this one works here? If so why is that? I am just curious. | |

Posted: 1/22/2008 12:09:04 PM | Meet, heck! Fall in love with.
Three times on PoF I've responded to fellas with no pics. One started and still is on the friendship level. On started as a friend, moved on, then returned to friend, and still is. The last started romantically at the exploration level, moved on, and is looking to be permanent. Each of 'em wuz/is anything but ugly, or hiding, or lying. Two of the profiles were long; one was amazing; all three very interesting.
Both times I've been burned on PoF (no, no badly) they had pics up. And the pics looked like them. Just crazier than bedbugs.
Still rather go with my gut than with my eyes.
Just me.

Posted: 1/25/2008 11:45:43 PM | I'm wondering...are you still seeing him? Has all day date turned into long term relationship, or is the wife and kids with him when he is not privately flying his plane. Sounds to me that you gave him the 80% answer and he came up with the 20%. Glad you had a good time...but just curious is all as to where it went from there. Call me skeptic...lol

Posted: 1/25/2008 11:57:52 PM | Sure, I've done it. Why not? You meeting somebody, not marrying them, or getting into committed relationship with them.
In the big scheme of life the importance of looks fades quite quickly. You could meet the most perfectly beautiful person in the world; but after a month or so when you learn they lack the same morals, values and interests you do, the beauty fades. | |

Posted: 1/26/2008 4:47:13 PM | I met a guy with no picture on POF and he was the most handsome guy I ever saw! He was a delight, blond hair, blue eyes gentleman who was successful! He was gorgeous in all ways!
We had many dates and we enjoyed each other company. I was scared to meet him at first because he had no picture but he told me that I will not be disappointed and I was not ! | |

Posted: 1/27/2008 8:36:15 AM | | it seems to me that all you people that insist on seeing a pic in order to talk to someone first are missing out...ever stop to think the reason your still here and looking is because of that exact fact? not only do u miss out on finding out what half the people on here are all about you come across as shallow so maybe for once instead of trying to find the right person with your eyes you should use your heart or your mind half of you are nothing special to look at anyway so maybe a pic can work against as person as well, i mean just because someone doesnt stand out in the crowd with their looks doesnt mean they arent a fun or smart or entertaining person. ive been told im cute and ive also been told im a good person to talk to and can hold a conversation i think if i had the choice id talk to the second person before someone that only pm'd cause they thought i looked good | |

Posted: 1/27/2008 9:11:15 AM | About a month ago I got mail from a guy from POF that I thought was cute...so I responded with my msn even with no pic on his profile....something I rarely do. For me a picture is about familiarity ...Anyway..he was even better on msn....smart....funny and intriguing. When speaking about his looks he said "don't worry I am not ugly" and I asked him if having no pic on his profile was an attempt to weed out the shallow people! lol He said yes..that was 80 % of it and the other part had to do with keeping a low profile for his work (he is a private pilot)
Now let me just say that my instincts online have turned out to be very good...no bad experiences when meeting people at all...so when he asked me to meet hiim for coffee the next day, I agreed. There were no warning bells at all. I knew from the conversation that no matter what his looks we would have a laugh and a good time.
So to make a long story short..we met and he was hot! Not pretty boy movie star looks but totally my type! So coffee turned into lunch turned into an all day date
I was just curious to know if anyone else had ever met anyone without ever seeing a picture and how it turned out??
Just don't be surprised when you find out the REAL reason he didn't post a pic, which is he doesn't want his WIFE to find out! | |

Posted: 1/27/2008 9:40:48 AM | | Okay, I don't have picture posted, and I am not ugly or fat. I will tell you that I have met people with pictures, and guess what, the picture doesn't even look like them. I can't believe how some are so shallow minded. Post picture, be anything you want to be on here, and when you meet that person, picture doesn't even look like them. I do believe in chemistry, but what about what is inside the heart? Maybe people should do picture of their heart. Is it empty, or full of love? Gee, get real, people can post anything, they can be anything on here they want to be. They can post picture of whoever they wanna be. Until you know the person inside, you know nothing. | |

Posted: 1/27/2008 9:46:59 AM | I started talking to guy in June of 2000,he always said that he was too ugly to send a picture.After 9/11 in 2001 we decided to meet.He was from the Dc area and I just happened to have family out where he was at.So I packed up the kids,dropped them of at my sister in laws house and met him.I`ve never had any regrets about it and would do it again.He changed my Life and I will never ever forget him.He wasn`t a pretty boy and that was ok,I was married to one and they are not all that.The last time I`ve talked him he said ....." b\c for 6 years you have been from the start.... a friend,... a fantasy,..... a lover,.... then a memory,........ then a burning feeling in my heart..... then a thorn,...... and then...... the truth hits.... you are everything i want. .. and you know it and I know it."
This was in September 2006 and I haven`t talked to him since.I can`t move from here and I could never take him away from his son out there,so I stopped talking to him.He still calls and I never answer the phone. | |
