| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 6/15/2008 8:08:43 PM | I just posted a thread about my getting fooled by pictures more than once (yeah, I know, dumb). Yesterday someone wanted my emaill address off POF so she could send a pic. I said you can do that here and she said "No way!" I suspected it might've been some kind of collect email address thing to send sex site spam and reported it as such.
No way I'd meet someone with no pic. | |

Posted: 6/16/2008 10:25:07 PM | | A person not having a picture it too much of a shot in the dark for most people myself included i mean sure you lucked out and he was good looking and etc.. But what about the other side of it what if the person your meeting is not attractive at all what do you do tell them "**** off your ugly" or whatever toned down version of it you want and hurt this persons feelings or do you go on the pity lunch and give the person false hope. It's great that it worked out for you but there's too much at chance for most people and i bet a lot of people in here saying they would don't they just don't want to come off bad. | |

Posted: 6/16/2008 10:47:01 PM | | I met a lady who had no photo posted. Something I don't often do. I was pleasantly surprised. She had really understated evrything about herself. Body type - average, yeah for a supermodel! She was a very attractive lady, well versed, great sense of humour. Unfortunately, we weren't a match. | |

Posted: 6/17/2008 4:59:08 AM | Sometimes people look better in person then their picture.
I know a picture says a thousand words, But back in the days when this internet stuff came out and other classifieds there was no way to put a pic on there.
Now that there is and people are just down right cruel,
How do you really know that the person really looks like that?
What about voice verify?
I like to voice verify everyone before I go further meeting someone.
If all people care about is the way someone looks then there will be alot of unhappy people in the world. Happiness is an inside job.
Like I said sometimes people look better in person then their picture.
So I am not afraid of meeting anyone with out a pic.
But I only date women....     | |

Posted: 6/17/2008 6:06:32 AM | | I have been told that I look nothing like my picture, and that I am far more attractive than my pic suggests (one of the reasons that I do not post a pic). I have met and dated men who did not have a pic online, sometimes it seems even better to meet them without knowing the facade of the psrson beforehand. | |

Posted: 6/17/2008 6:24:29 AM | I did go out with someone who did not have a picture posted and it turned into a wonderful 15 month relationship. She was a lovely lady and we turned out to be just what each other needed. We had both been divorced about 6 months at the time and at least for me she helped repair a badly damaged heart.
My mindset was that the worst thing that could happen is nothing the best is what happened.
I would and probably will do it again! | |

Before he even got out of his vehicle my son was laughing.
I just told him,,, point blank.. he was not what I was expecting and rather than wasting both of our time and his money on dinner for something that I was not interested in I thought it was best we just go... He about fell over but,,, no sense in lying or using. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 4:04:36 PM | | I'm not sure if this has been said already, but in this day and age of cheap digi cams, webcams, scanners and phone cams there really isn't an excuse for not having a photo up. Not to mention avoiding any potential scares on meeting person x. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 5:44:57 PM | | Yes - I did -and it was one of the most amazing nights of my life. I am seeing him now and he is some one I never thought I would know again in my life. Very seldom do we get to know a kindred spirit that is also a physically matched personality. Don't ever give up the chance to meet some one, if you have talked and felt a connection or even a slight attraction, you need to take a chance. Enjoy life. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 1:05:06 PM | | Yes Im still traumatized LOL. Ive met with no pix, fake pix, pix from ten years ago, pix before they gained 100 pounds, pix of Britney Spears and they still claim to be them LOL . Just the beginning of this horror show called Plentyof fish , but hey it gets amusing after awhile. LOL Then I get the opposite someone that needs me to keep sending pix of myself because they doubt Im me? Sheesh this place is crazy | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 1:13:55 PM | | I don't think bravery has anything to do with it. I will not meet unless I get a photo that I like. I did meet a few men without one and felt zero chemistry. So now I trust my instincts....and I don't care how wonderful they are. Gotta have attraction as a starter or there is no point. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 7:33:05 PM | | I am too afraid to meet someone that I am not initially attracted to via photo. I suppose I do not have the appropriate human relation skills required to say "yikes... not exactly what I expected!" I do not want to hurt someones feelings by my reaction. | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 12:04:01 AM | I too do not look at any ones profile without a photograph...I know some times there are valid reasons for not putting a picture on the site..but most of the time there is no excuse.
I was attracted to a guys photo once and did meet him after a few e.mails..texts.. and speaking on the phone...he was a lot older and fatter than his original photo though so it was obviously an old one...I still liked him though...but we didnt meet for a second date!! | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 11:06:13 AM | | I decided when I left my home and defunct relationship a few months ago I would on my drive across the US to Florida stop and meet a few people I had known for many years in a chat engin I frequent.I am talking people who I have talked with on the phone, done the webcam stuff with(face's only thank you)and know alot of their family members.People who were very close friends online for many years.When meeting a few of them I discovered they were not the same people I thought I knew.They had different attitudes and different kinds of life styles.So I dont think pictures make a person myself.I can certainly understand why alot of Ladies would want one and agree they should ask for one before meeting.Nothing can substitute looking eye to eye in my book to find if there is chemistry or attraction and mayhaps a future. | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 12:19:32 PM | Hell yeah and never ever again, talking with one guy for at least a month by email and phone kept asking him to send me a pic and it was excuse after excuse.. Does not know how to download it, would ask his kid later, his kid said he needed some thing a mijig. Finally I said "Will you compliment me"???? Oh yes, I will soooo compliment you..... "Are you positive" he assured me, So I gave in and met him for coffee...

Posted: 6/26/2008 1:04:36 PM | No picture = Married guy
I thought every girl knew that!
Since when did private pilots need to keep a low profile? I guess since they've been cheating on their wife! LOL! I've heard these men will claim some technical issue with uploading a photo, and want to email it directly to you. Sheesh! | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 9:46:18 PM | I dont' see what the big deal is. At first I was only talking to people with pictures, but on several occasions found out the person I'd met looked NOTHING like their picture. So if i can't trust the pictures, what the difference of no picture at all.
This whole internet dating thing is a gamble. It's no fun without risks!
