| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 2/29/2008 6:08:05 AM | Once upon a time on a planet right here... people advertised in newspapers and met.
And it was awful, so they invented the net,
And the pictures are tiny, grainy, useful, but only 2D and don't move (can you tell I haven't got my own machine?),
And one day you'll call up holograms and virtual bodies - nah, you still want to talk, meet!? | |

Nowadays you need to know who you are meeting for safety reasons. Although it is true that you dont know if the pic they show you is really them.
I did meet someone from another site that I didnt see a pic of. It was a disappointment to me but not over his looks. He called me on my cell when he reached the coffee shop and told me he was inside waiting. I was given a description of him earlier so I might have a better idea of who to look for. I did tell him to come to me so I wouldnt be on a stranger chase but he began to play a game that was like " im here find me".
I got very frustrated, but I got myself a coffee and had a seat. He did then come to me and thought it was funny, the game he played. I politely told him that I wasnt interested in any further communication with him and the next time he should avoid such games when meeting someone for the first time. I told him what he did, was not only rude but childish and I left. Therefore I knew no matter how good he looked, he was no longer an interest to me.
I would meet someone again without a pic, it really isnt a problem but I guess that incident will stay in my mind for sometime.
Im glad to hear your experience of it was so good. | |

He turned out to be very cute, but I probably should have asked a few more questions before meeting him, because it turned out he makes a little extra cash on the side by stealing cars, dirt bikes, power tools... you name it. At least he was honest enough to admit it though, haha! | |

Posted: 3/13/2008 6:55:20 PM | I don't talk to people without a picture.
I wouldn't call it being shallow, for me its a safety (as much as we can "trust" the internets) thing as well as an attraction thing.
People who don't post photos are either 1) ashamed of them selves which means that they lack confidence or 2) Hiding something or from someone which can mean baggage. | |

Posted: 3/13/2008 9:18:36 PM | | I have a number of time and each time I was disappointed. Some women described their body type as Average. They have a funny idea of what Average is. I have now inserted into my profile that if you have no picture posted please do no contact me. | |

Posted: 3/15/2008 7:20:48 PM | | I totally agree with you. How much and WHAT does a picture tell you about someone. From my experience most men and probably women to post photo that are not recent. I do not have a photo and do not intend to. If they are so fickle and looks are the only thing that counts they are not for me. | |

Posted: 3/19/2008 3:56:07 AM | | I'm happy to talk to people with or without pics - to anyone who can hold a conversation. I would probably meet them without seeing too. There's a certain joy of that mystery... but when it comes to the call, if there's no physical attraction there, how can you progress beyond that? | |

Posted: 3/23/2008 9:32:02 PM | | I would NEVER even talk to someone with out a picture. As many of the women here have said its a safety issue. You can say your 26 and single and athletic and really be 58 and married. Actually I'm more confident of someone who has two or three pictures up, it takes more time and effort to photoshop or screw with more pictures than just taking one of some random person and posting it as yours. | |

Posted: 3/23/2008 10:17:03 PM | | My last husband...we met back in 1995...back when spider was the crawler of choice and geeks ruled the web! lol We chatted online for about a month then decided to meet. I was soooo nervous! When we met, he took my breath away, we were virtually inseperatable and living together in under 4 weeks and we lasted 8 1/2 years. | |

Posted: 3/23/2008 10:20:14 PM | | Uhm ya...or a really bad pic...cause they sure as heck looked way better in person...lol. One guy was probably the hottest guy I've ever dated and his pic on POF was horrid...lol. Our first date ended up being the longest date I've ever been on...lasted for over 24 hours...blading around the wall turned into a trip to Whistler until dinner the next day...don't know why he's hiding all his hot pics...b/ he does have some good ones...I gather he was probably using it as a weeding process. | |
