Posted: 2/22/2008 11:46:16 PM | | I think havign a picture is important. Sure looks aren't everything but you would not want to be with someone who is disgusting or mordily obese. We are visual beings and there is no reason thsi day and age ntot o have a picture in an online dating profile especially wheny oui cna take a pciture witha disposable camera, go toa pharmacy and have them put it on a CD for $3. Then upload it plaina nd simple. What;s int eh profile is important too. I find a lot of people onlien are shallow. I have been rejected for being short. Or for not alledgedly being someone's type. Wahtever that means. I have also been on lots of dates and had 5 girlfriends from this site alone. Its really difficult to meet someoen who is right for you. I think its important to give people a chance. But I want to see a picture of get e-mailed one before I meet someone. | |

The fact many people and many women, in particular, ABSOLUTELY REQUIRE a picture in order to be able to send a msg to them means they are shallow and probably suggests a lot more about them. They're probably high maintenance among other telling characteristics
Since you have been on here for almost 4 years, I'd say you are just full of wisdom.
Believe it or not, most people's attraction to someone is visual. I've tried to look beyond that initial attraction, and it just doesn't work. Either it's there or it's not. If that makes me shallow, so be it. If that makes me high maintenance, so be it. It is better to portray who you really are, than trying to hide who you are, and then when they find out the real you, it's not going to work anyway. Dating is to find someone you REALLY want to be with, not be there, because someone else thinks you need to give them a chance, under their rules. I'm not even dating from this site, but it's still nice to see a pic of who you are communicating with. Visuals mean a lot.  | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 10:52:38 AM | | I have been on here 3 years and I consider myself a wise woman about some things. Most ignore those of us with no pics, they might need someone with wisdom telling them they are letting a lot of potential matches get away just because we have wisdom enough to NOT post a pic due to our professions, etc. | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 11:05:09 AM | A picture gives a general idea of what a person looks like, but you can't always tell how attractive someone is from a pic even if the pic is relatively recent and accurate. A pic is just 2-D still shot of someone. Some people aren't photogenic. People can be dishonest and hiding something regardless of if they have a pic or not. Some people will use old, deceptive, or fake pictures. That's why I would be willing to give someone a shot if they don't have a pic. Horror stories can happen with or without a pic.
The ironic thing about this is sometimes 2 people without pics on their profile will talk to each other. The woman will state that she doesn't have any pics. But will still ask a man for his pic ( or vice versa ). The man will give her his pic and he will never heard from her again. I would think that it is hypocritical to reject someone because of a pic when you don't have a pic. The person with the pic is still giving a person without the pic a chance. Therefore the person without the pic should realize that the person with a pic could look better when they actually meet. The only possible exception to this is when one person is the complete opposite of the other person's ideal type. | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 11:18:01 AM | | I am very open minded about appearances of men, and find many appearances attractive. For some obviously erroneous reason I equate age and maturity with acceptance of appearance as one of the traits of a person, not the most important one. I have been totally apalled at the men on POF who are very average looking to me (which is fine), expecting me to look like a movie star, which I state I do not and give them an accurate description of myself, yet when I send a pic they are gone faster than you can say BOO!, and I am not an ugly woman in the least. Of course I was wonderful when they had this fantasy of a movie star in their seemingly lame brain til reality (the real pic) hit? Very sad commentary about middle aged men in America. | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 12:35:37 PM | well i would like to add my two cents worth, Im sorry girls but, that is not a tall story about why men i generial don't have pic to add to the sight,
i don't have one and it's not because im afraid too or that i will be rejected,
it's the plain fact that most fellows i know don't go arround carrying a picture off them selves, that a girls thing . hell i have to think about putting my grandkids in my wallet
much less a picture off my self,
Oh i can see it now , look fellows how do ya like this photo i just took it yesterday,,
i would have no troubl;e finding a seat at the bar tonight,,,,
so come on girls . i have even offered to let the lady see me at work or play and not id them selves if it mattered so darn much,
Personally speaking, i have never seen a women so damn ugly that it would keep me from having a cup off coffee with , Believe me i have seen some butes, but i always treated them with love and respect,,, it's not in a pic ladyies, thats physical beauty
i want the soul,,, | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 12:42:43 PM | have you truly saw a man so ugly that you couldn't bring your self to have a cup off coffee with ,? you really wouldn"t talk to a man unless he had a pic off him self??

Posted: 2/25/2008 5:33:58 PM | Well, the pic thing doesn't bother me. However, there is only so much you know you have in common by the internet thing.
I won’t say that it can’t work, though. One thing is this, the chance of finding someone is better online, but if they live across the globe...it may never work. Whether they have a pic or not.
Plus, what if you two hit if off physically and all that but just don’t click? You can’t really tell. Your personalities can always be too different. If they don’t care about that, then of course that’s different all together.
I have noticed that some free sites
say high quality or something. But what exactly does that mean? | |

Posted: 2/25/2008 5:50:44 PM | When I first started on-line dating (I didn't know any better to ask for a pic).
Ironically, one of the most attractive women I met, she did not have a pic posted.
(back in the day when the REALLY AWESOME site Matchmaker.com (pre-lycos) existed.
When I talked to her on the phone, she said some people have told her she looked like Princess Di. I thought to myself, oh great...what am I getting into.
However, she was GORGEOUS. She was 6' feet tall and was the type girl that turned heads when we walked into a room. We dated 6-months.
So, just because someone does not have a pic, does not necessarily mean it's a cause for concern (or at least I got really really lucky). | |

Well, if this is the case, then just post a pic, and save everyone the trouble of saying BOO. How do we know you're not ugly, in the least?
And yes, if I want to see who I'm communicating with, makes me shallow, so be it.  | |

Posted: 2/25/2008 7:37:12 PM | No I would not be interested in meeting anyone without seeing a picture of them as well. If they see what I would like, I should be able to know what they look like as well. I don't have time for guessing games.
You wouldn't buy a house or car, without looking at it first. The same as you would not want to invest, or waste any of your time, without seeing what the person looks like beforehand. | |

Posted: 2/25/2008 7:50:19 PM | | Less than a week after joining PoF, I emailed a woman that had no picture posted, and also not much info in her profile. She was supposed to be tall with average body type, and caught my attention because she lived 20 minutes from me. I sent my private photo with my email. She sounded really nice from the few emails that we exchanged, so I decided I would be willing to meet her without seeing her photo. However, she volunteered to send me a picture, and I was very pleasantly surprised. We met, clicked, and have been dating for two months, and things couldn't be better. | |

Posted: 2/25/2008 10:30:47 PM | | The reason that I do not have a picture poseted is stated in my profile. If someone does not understand my reasoning, then yes, they are too different from me and we are probably not a match. This reason has nothing to do with the fact that I may or may not be attractive to them. If it was a requirement to post a pic here within a certain amount of time I might could understand someone's concern, but I always send a pic if there is mutual interest. | |

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
I agree with the original poster (bosslady). I have usually had no picture to keep a low profile because of my work. And yes, I don't like shallow people. If their photo is too "modelish" or obscene, I get turned off. I usually seek "normal" looking people. | |

Posted: 2/27/2008 8:00:07 PM | | I have met some wemon with no pictures...some were very attractive...Most people that i have met conciter them to be average..even when they are not...being overweight is a big turn off for me..lieing about it is even worse..And alot of the pictures are head shots..so...?? I suppose by now you think I'm shallow for writing this...I'm just trying to tell the truth...Is 5'2" and 170 lbs average? One lady thought so... Having said that..I don't mind writing wemon with no pictures..get to know them...but I would like to see a pic before I meet them...There is way to many games going on out there..I just want to find a nice woman that I am attracted too..should not be too hard...actually there are alot of nice people on here..I have to work on meeting some of the nice ones.....Oh ,and the other thing I like ..is I have to follow "other guys" actions with girls....meaning they had bad dates...and are real defensive sometimes..with I guess is normal...can you tell I like to talk?? | |

Posted: 2/27/2008 8:44:54 PM | | I have been doing this online dating thing for a good while now. I have tried at least 4 different dating sites and there is one thing that holds true with all of them. Most people are to shallow. I am not going to point any one certain person because there are so many. I guess that is one reason there are so many that have been looking for a boyfriend/girlfriend for so long. I have seen some on here that have been here since 2004/2005 maybe even before and still haven't found anyone. And i have noticed that most of the ones that are big on pictures are some of the ones that have been here the longest. I hope that i find a connection here. I might' I might not. But one thing is for sure. If i don't find someone it will not be because they didn't have a picture or because i am shallow. People always want to see what someone looks like. All they can think about is that attraction by looks. Looks can fool you. To me to go by looks as a meter of attraction is stupid. Attraction should be by how the person carries them self. Who they are and what they are and what they stand for. | |

Posted: 2/28/2008 4:08:28 AM | I have met people without photos, some with photos. Good people are good people. Photos are just a shot taken in time. Some people put up twenty year old photos.....what does that say about them? They think they use to look good?
Me, I'm just a modest girl, with average looks and frankly not interested in some one who is consumed by their looks or mine. There are so many things that actually make up a person other then how they look, their heart their soul, how they treat others.........these are much more important then how someone looks.
In fact photos can mislead you in many ways........there a plenty of guys on here with great photos and bad personalities. (I'm sure woman too) I'd meet somone with out a photo after chatting a while.......It's only chemistry that's gonna make it work.  | |
