| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 6/6/2008 8:14:43 PM | All i can add to this is when i had one blurry picture i had more hits with it then i did when i put up clear pictures taken with my web cam. Go figure. 
By the way, It doesn't bother me to talk to a woman that doesn't have a picture posted. I talk to them that do and i talk to them that don't. But, Most of the time i will not give a woman i just met on the Internet my e-mail address. Simple reason is you don't have any idea who your talking to. Could be a spammer just waiting for you to give your address. All of them that contact me here i ask that they send a picture to my pof mail box. Most of the time i have no problem with people doing that but sometimes i do and those are the ones that i never hear from again. If i don't, Pretty good idea that there a spammer. | |

Where are these pictures at? I honestly haven't ever seen pictures of people misused except for famous people
Sometimes people who participate on internet message boards post their pics. ...Then they get into flame wars with other participants, and end up "photoshopped" into compromising positions (yes, your head on someone else's body). | |

Is anyone ever fooled by those types of pictures? They are really rather amusing.

Ah, Eddie! Your blurry picture must have given you a sense of mystery! They couldn't tell what you looked like! | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 9:19:13 AM | From my experience's. Some of the best looking women on the site has no pictures posted and not even any privite images. One I was talking to would not even load privite images because some of the guys were sooooooooo persistant in pestering them for their pictures they ended up deleting their profiles and then decided not to even load any and risk showing that they had "privite images"
One gal I talked to deleted her account and we was talking alot before I even had a clue what she looked like. Finally after a while she sent me some pictures with out me asking. Wowser niceeeeeeeeeeeee.
Then she deleted her account and created another one and now I notice she has privite images so she's probly getting busy talking to someone else lol.
I wouldn't be afraid to meet someone with no pictures. I've met someone before that had no pictures. There wasn't nothing wrong with their appearence. | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 9:19:20 AM | It would be nice to have a general idea of what a person looks like. But meeting someone without a pic isn't necessary any better or worse than meeting some with a pic. There are success and horror stories from both sides.
Exactly. A person could be using an old, deceptive, or fake photo. Not having a photo doesn't always mean that a person is ugly or hiding something. | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 11:43:17 AM | i met a few people from another site....one of them had a pic of him being handsome, clean cut, auburn hair. he seemed to be nice, older than i was looking for but met him anyway....that was the biggest mistake of my life. his pic was taken 10 yrs ago, he was dirty as all hell and everything else. i'm sorry but i'd much rather prefer meeting someone with their pics up to date or not meet anyone at all. i also met someone from yahoo in person that didn't have a pic. his description of himself was way off the scale. he looked nothing like he said he did and again, he was another stinky one too.
i vote current pics or pics less than a year old! | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 5:12:19 PM | | Women (here?) are so shallow they won't even talk to you if you don't have a picture. If you read some profiles, you discover many of them are looking for 'friends' but if you don't have a picture, you cannot contact them. When did it matter what their friends look like? Oh yeah, they are shallow, that's why. | |

I'm a guy,, I won't talk any women on here unless they have a picture,, therefore, I must be shallow too,, but I'm OK with that,, Men and Women both have a choice of what they want to do,, in your case some might say, you have something to hide because you haven posted a picture,, personality I could care less if some one posts a picture or not, I just won't be talking with them,, however it should be no concern of theirs either what I choose to do,, if that is shallow ,, I fit... | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 6:02:25 PM | I'm old enough to remember the days of personal ads in the newspaper, and on telephone 800 numbers - so no pictures ever! We managed to decide whether or not to meet someone by actually talking to them (no email either!) and using the ability to find out what someone was like through conversation. Often, they ended up looking even better than they had described, although of course there were the times that the surprise was not so nice...
I'm an equal-opportunity type - no pic, or with pic - you'll still have to convince me of your winning personality first! Of course I'd prefer to see one, but have often gone forward to getting to know someone without the picture first.
That being said, my pics are up - for better or worse! LOL!

Posted: 6/9/2008 2:57:50 AM | Yes, I did once... We met in public and he had to find me cause I had no idea what he looked like. He wasn't the best-looking guy, but we had already talked on the phone a lot and I liked his personality. But it turns out he was just a fake, that or he just turned into a monster, lol. So I don't think I'd do that again. But it really doesn't matter if its a blind date or not, whether you've seen someone's picture has little to do with whether it will work out. But I prefer to see what someone looks like before I meet them, especially after that bad experience. Sounds like you've had good luck with online dating  | |

Posted: 6/9/2008 3:27:52 AM | I talked to a person with out a picture once. Now I will explain why I don't anymore. She said she was a she. Next thing she wants to meet in a parking lot. Not her home. I get nervous. She doesn't have a car. So I have to go get her. I'm like where is this parking lot. She says east main street in Naugatuck. I say ok. East main street if there was one would be in the middle of the river next to an oil station. Turns out she lives in Middlebury. So I get more nervous. So she fills the deal by saying "We can have fun in my car" I'm like eh, Well oooooook....... Real Nervous at this point. Then last second I said NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The hell with it. I aint trustin this. I mean. I was a little younger. So my brain was a little more sex crazy. Anyhow I probley would have gotten who knows. So yeah I don't know about pictureless women. I now want a picture or even a webcam. Just to be safe. I mean why not just take one put it on. Yeah I know my picture aint very good. I look better in real life. I gotta take mroe of me infact. But that did happen once to me. | |

Posted: 6/9/2008 4:40:27 AM | | I sent a few emails 2 a person that had contacted me who had no pic. I told him that I MUST have a pic 2 keep talking 2 him. I'm not totally shallow or anything, but I DO want 2 have an idea of who I'm talking to. He directed me 2 his personal page which contained a few pics of him. There was NO WAY he was the same age as me. I think some older guys do this (not post a pic) 2 mask the fact that they aren't the age they say they are. They want 2 attract a younger girl, but they know there's a large age difference, and the age difference will b detected as soon as someone sees the pic. I'm not opposed 2 dating someone older, but I feel that beginning any kind of relationship on a lie is NOT a healthy beginning. | |

Well, that's your problem, then. I don't discriminate as I'm saying for both men and women, if you absolutely REQUIRE a picture to even talk to someone else, you're shallow, period! It takes a few seconds to post a reply. It's already been stated, ad infinitum, that pictures can be faked or aren't accurate etc. etc. But, even if the picture is 100% accurate, I think restricting yourself to pictures only just shows personality and character is so far down the list. I'll talk to people without a picture whether I have one posted or not. They might not be who they are but if they're going to be a manipulative liar, I will find out about it whether they have a picture or not. | |

I see it as not having a problem, rather weeding women out I'm not attracted to, as they can do the same of me.. therefor it saves on writing and asking for a picture,, character and personally are on the top of my list as well as many other so is physical attraction,, I want it all,, no need to settle,, plus I'm not here to make friends, discriminate sure,, only because I know what I like and want need and desire,, , I have enough friends, ,, it doesn't matter what they look like,, even though I'm shallow,, I do agree people can lie about their pictures,, who they might be,, But,, I have faith,, people are who they are,, say what they mean and look like their pictures,, if any of the mentioned has been lied about,, well, this guy says see ya,,, | |

Well, I don't think it's justified to act like they do because they happen to think it's no big deal and not wrong.
I understand that it's about seeking relationships and finding a gf (and going further, possibly), but I note that people are constantly putting value on a person based on looks. Look at the rating system. Worth is determined by looks. This is such B.S. I know I am not ugly or anything like that so I'm not complaining based on my looks. It's just a universal view. I don't care if you look like you could star in a movie or if you have warts and pimples all over your face. I understand that people are shallow but why such pride and no conscience about it? Why so much value placed on it which determines whether you even talk to a person? That is the part I am criticizing. But, who cares, because it is no surprise people are like this. | |

PS,,, men and woman can send a picture without displaying it on this site,, that picture can be hidden,, yet when you write an email,, you get a chance to attach it with an email..how hard is that...
Yes they can. But if a user filters by pic, they won't get to the point where they can offer to send a pic. And this is really, really ironic - your own profile has just one filter set - "Must have pic to contact this user" - so no one who has a "hidden" pic will be able to send you an email (unless you've contacted them first.) So, yeah, it's not hard at all - but it's pretty much pointless when people use filters.
I have a couple "hidden" images on here and sometimes contemplate displaying them on the profile. It usually takes me 5 seconds to return to my senses and then I say - Fvck it, what's the point? I feel that 99.99% are here to window shop anyway. Those willing to go a couple emails before asking for a pic will email me after reading my profile anyway. And those without a filter I choose to contact will get a pic from me anyway. And finally, those with a "Must have pic to contact this user" would have likely rejected me anyway if I had a pic on my profile (I'm fvcking butt-ugly, BTW.) No one loses. It's a win-win all around!
In case anyone misunderstands - I DO NOT say anywhere in my post that attraction is unimportant. | |
