| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 5/28/2008 8:43:28 AM | | I'm a guy,, I don't "worry" about how a woman looks,, but,, I want to be attracted to her physically,, I would think that would hold true for most women as well... looks are part of chemistry in my opinion..as much as personality,, it's a package deal... | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 7:03:40 PM | | I have actually had the experience of meeting someone who did not post a picture. I met him and walked right back out the door. I mean, please be real. I'm too busy for games. Do whatever it takes to get a decent looking picture of yourself--even if it takes going to a professional photographer, use a nice hat, etc. After all, the men who are contacting me are because of my pictures and my essay. | |

Posted: 6/6/2008 12:14:16 AM | What about a "neck-down" picture in the profile, followed by a picture of the face once you've started to correspond?
I don't like putting my face online for a few reasons:
- co workers might stumble across it
- ex girlfriends might spot it
- general privacy -- once you post the pic you lose control of it...
But if I put a torso pic, it at least conveys that I'm fit, which is something women might like. Fitness adds a lot to appearance.
Unfortunately this site doesn't allow you to post torso pics (yet you can have a profile without a picture at all). This is ironic, since at least the torso pic conveys some information... | |

Posted: 6/6/2008 12:17:05 AM | | I've seen people use other peoples' pictures in many mean (yet funny) ways in flame wars... This is one of the reasons I won't post mine. I'm no "uggo", not married, not cheating, not paranoid... I just don't think it makes sense to post a picture of your face for 6.5 billion people to download and use as they see fit... | |

Posted: 6/6/2008 6:20:32 AM | There have been some very legitimate reasons for not posting pictures online. However, most of the time, men have immediately offered to send me some pictures of themselves without my even having to ask. (Yes, SOME are of their parts, and they are immediately told what I think of them, and the conversation ends.)
If anyone is reluctant to have mail sent to their private email address early in the correspondence, simply open an email account, in your screen name. It's as simple as that.
But, I must caution you that having been sent A picture, does not mean it is a true picture of that person, or that it is recent. I have received several that were definitely many years old and hundreds of pounds less weight than the person whom I have met....While I'm not looking for an OBESE man, I'm definitely not looking for a LIAR.
You only get one opportunity to make a FIRST impression, if you blow that with deceit ,
what's left to learn about you?
Just my thoughts.

Posted: 6/6/2008 6:45:06 AM | well i have a pic that i send with first email. i like to keep a low profile because of the type work i used to do. i was a DJ in a market where there were 37 radio siginals for people to listen too. i was #1 in my time slot for 4 years running beating my nearest competitor 2 to 1 in the arbitron ratings. i was still #1 when i decided it was time to grow up and got out of the business. that was over 20 years ago, still haven't grown up.
i just watch my viewed page and when i see someone is viewing my profile a lot i simply do the ice breaking myself and say hello and send a pic when i do. but lately i am getting a lot of emails before i respond to the viewed page. i guess they see i have a lot of honesty and humor about me and lets face it i'm 60 years old and just looking for friends so i am safe. never dated anyone on pof or any other site but i have met some friends on here that mean a great deal to me. i will be haveing lunch in a few weeks after vacation time with a very pretty and hot grannie. she will be the first person i have met in person and we have chatted for 2 or 3 months now getting to know each other.
there are a lot of wonderful ladies on here and like some of the men some that are not so wonderful.
anyway its a wonderful place to chat and make friends but relationships i don't know because i have never gone farther than chatting.
lets face it we all have our little flaws and talking to someone who doesn't have a pic is up to the person. i have made a good friend and have no idea what she looks like. and if i asked her out for coffee or lunch or dinner i would never embarrass her if she wasn't beautiful because i am honest enough with myself to know i ain't a super hot studd myself. but i think she is very pretty on the inside, when you get older you consider that more than the outside sometimes. actually i am told she is very pretty on the outside too. we have a mutual friend.
don't be so shallow that you miss the one love of your life. just ask for a pic. | |

Posted: 6/6/2008 7:08:16 AM | I am not interested in meeting anyone without a picture of their face for me to see. If you see my picture, it is only fair that I see your's as well. I am too old for guessing games, wondering what someone will look like and about their personality and if I will even be attracted to them.
Would you buy a house or car, before looking at it first.? No, most people wouldn't. You want to know what to expect before a meeting.. | |

Posted: 6/6/2008 7:15:32 AM | I have and it has been a positive encounter,,,,
Think about all the ones who we meet based on what we see on the outside that disappoints in the end?
Think about those who we invest the time to meet and know that turn out to ge gems to forever embrace? | |

I just don't think it makes sense to post a picture of your face for 6.5 billion people to download and use as they see fit...
What's the worst that someone is going to do? Paste your face on someone else's body? That would be hilarious. Maybe someone will put my face on a porn star's torso. I would love to see that.
when you women out there stop worrying about how someone looks instead what type of person he is then your realationships will last.
So, let me get this straight--women should stop worrying about how men look, but it is ok for men to worry about how women look?
People who say looks don't count are full of cow excrement. I don't judge my friend by the way that they look, but I do judge a potential lover by the way he looks. If I can't imagine having sex with him, then why try to begin a relationship? It doesn't mean that he needs to be dropdead handsome, but 500 pounds won't work for me and neither will some other physical characteristics.
Since this thread began back in the Neolithic, I have had two dates with men who posted no pic. Both were huge disappointments. And guess what? I offered friendship to both of them, but without a physical relationship, apparently, they weren't up for being "just" friends."
Oh, and when people tell you (= anyone) that you look ten years younger, they are lying--even if they seem to have no motive to do so. They are just being nice. | |

Posted: 6/6/2008 7:51:32 AM | You are very brave gal. I have not met a guy without seeing their picture but a guy has met me without seeing my picture. He sent his pic to me on my email and I asked him if he wanted me to send him my pic, he said "I want to meet the real you"...I was nervous because I thought he would probably be disappointed...I know am hot but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Guess what he said when we met...I only had told him the type of a vehicle I would be driving and he spotted me rigth away...he said "gal you are beautiful!" I am now very comfortable with him and we met last weekend and since then two more times...so three times in one week....that's not bad eh... | |

Posted: 6/6/2008 8:19:01 AM | I have chatted and agreed to meet with many women that don't have a picture up. A lot of them don't have a picture up because they don't want to attract the wrong kind of attention.
However, some of the most beautiful women I have met on dating sites don't have a picture up. Heck, if they did have a picture up every guy on the site would be emailing them.
They don't want that. They want a guy that will love them for who they are not what they look like.
I remember sending an email to a woman on another dating site a few years ago because she lived in a small down near one of the lakes I fish at. I thought this would be neat if we could be friends. So, I wrote. She wrote back and the first thing she said was that she admired my courage for writing without seeing a picture. We wrote for a few days and she sent me a picture. What a fox! Her looks sure didn't chase me away.
Really........you have a 50/50 chance that the profiles that don't have a picture you will be disapointed with. Heck, with odds like that you would be stupid not to write. | |

- co workers might stumble across it

- general privacy -- once you post the pic you lose control of it...
So a co-worker is on the sight...so?
They are an ex, what does it matter if they see you are dating?
Lose control of a picture, it isn't like you are a famous person, why would anyone want your picture?
I've seen people use other peoples' pictures in many mean (yet funny) ways in flame wars... This is one of the reasons I won't post mine. I'm no "uggo", not married, not cheating, not paranoid... I just don't think it makes sense to post a picture of your face for 6.5 billion people to download and use as they see fit...
Where are these pictures at? I honestly haven't ever seen pictures of people misused except for famous people.
A lot of them don't have a picture up because they don't want to attract the wrong kind of attention.
Wrong kind of attention, like getting a date...
Famous, CIA, and political are about the only legit excuses I know of. I have gone out with men that posted pictures that were elected ie politicals.
You don't like what someone says to you in an email, block them.
If you are serious about dating someone, it is a whole package, and you can judge books by their covers. I sell them and I know a book that was put above a fire place and got too hot, was dropped, was thrown, had its pages opened to fast, was well cared for etc. etc. Pictures can say a thousand words. | |

Posted: 6/6/2008 11:03:17 AM | I don't have a pic and I don't care if people think my reasons are legit or not. If a man cannot respond to some one without a pic and exchange pics than he is not on a similar wavelength as me anyway. I have dated several men i have met online without even exchanging pics before we met, or I sent one and he did not, or vice versa. Our lack of physical attraction is not why we ended dating, since we had that, just not enough other stuff to keep it going. At my age, physical attraction does not equal
sexuality to me, it is all of the person's traits, which is
why finding someone is so difficult, I want to be attracted to the entire person. | |
