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.

Personally, I like to see who I'm e-mailing back and forth with. I think people who insist on no photos should only contact those with no photos. I think that would solve the whole issue.

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.

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.

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!

i have met people when i had no pic up. these guys were willing to meet me even though i had no pic. it worked well!

i have met men with no pic, and usually they were as they described themselves...

most people are pretty decent and honest... you just hve to meet in a nuetral place and what not...

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...

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!

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

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.

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.

I did that...once. Yikes!

And ladies, if the guy has no picture he's married. Doesn't want his wife's friends and co-workers stumbling onto his profile.

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!

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,,,

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.

She was so pose to come into phoenix but she was visiting her parents in another part of town here and her truck was broken and had it in the shop.
So I decided to take the chance and drive out there.


she did not have a pic.
We had a great time and we celebrated our bdays together cause hers was the second and mine was the 9th of April. She is very cute.
We had a great time meeting and spent about four hours hanging out.



We still talk and she is an awesome Person!!!!!!!!

Usually wouldnt even start a conversation with someone with no pic, but once replied to an email from a girl on here, her profile made me laugh, it was witty and intelligent, plus her description of herself sounded nice, so i took a chance.
We met for coffee and she was beautiful, her looks, personality, the way she spoke.

Interesting. I will respond if a guy with no pic emails me an interesting email but I won't initiate contact. I feel as if he's trying to hide something.

I've met guys off here with great pictures and personalities and they turned out to be really different in person. I've had some horrible experiences! The fact that you went blindly (literally) into this is brave of you! I don't think I would have. But, considering that with pictures can turn out bad, why not the opposite and have no pictures turn out great. That does give me a rather new feel to the no picture thing...
