| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
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...
HA, he was very overweight, he looked like he was 65, and he was in sweats and smelled of manure. Never, ever ,ever again. If I would of seen his pic I would of never of met him totally not my type. Live and learn.......... | |

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!

Posted: 6/26/2008 9:58:02 PM | Ditto! Those things on your list are the reasons why I avoid people with no pictures. I do reply once in a while if the person sounds interesting, but not usually. A guy I was contacted by from here wouldn't post a pic and was very rude and demanding on the phone. I opted not to meet him. Then I found out one of my friends met him and she said he was a jerk. Our intuition is there for a reason. We need to use it | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 10:58:29 PM | "I was just curious to know if anyone else had ever met anyone without ever seeing a picture and how it turned out??"
This is the weird part. The guys with no pics were LESS likely to be lieing about their looks than the guys who HAD pics. Why?
The guys with pics, not all but most, had pics up from well over 3+ years or more. For some reason, they seem to live in a magical fantasy world where they never age. Well, at least not in their own mirrors. Oh, and they're always taller in these mirrors than they are in REAL life. You know, the one the rest of us live in? 
There have been lies with and without, that's the main point. I think of it much like if you accept a blind date in real life. And in that case you're not even told by the person themselves but a friend what they're 'like'.
That recent moronic list trying to postulate that guys with no photos were ALL either married or criminal or some such, is rubbish. Does it happen? Yep. But uh, it also happens with guys who post pictures. Reference all the "hat, sunglasses, and dark shadows" pictures. Are they MORE honest because they've posted pics that don't show anything substantial vs someone who posts no pics at all? Puh-leeze.
I think if you try to limit yourself to 'only photos' you have fallen for one of the great myths that people do with TV: if I can SEE it, it MUST be real Not in this day and age kids. Many, many people know perfectly well how to use Photoshop  | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 9:45:51 AM | boss, For me, anyone not willing or able to show a pic for themselves ...and not necessarily posted w/ their on-line dating profile has more reason to hide than what they do for work. I attribute people who do not offer up a pic as less than forthright for the friendship that needs to precede any relationship beyond on-line. How else am I to recognize them in a public setting?
I used to state in my profile on another dating site that "We can play w/ the blindfolds after we get to know each other much better" as a caveat for their need to share their pic w/ me. I need to have at least some eyes to look at for the words coming off their fingertips to me. Anyway, I'd a woman contact me and we dated for nearly ten months before I learned that she was pent on playing w/ blindfolds and me all along. This should have been disclosed to me many months sooner if she'd have sincerely been interested in an LTR w/ me beyond the friendship that vaporized soon after I couldn't believe what else she was capable of doing for putting us at great risk. | |

Well, then that tells you they are a liar, which makes me not interested! | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 10:22:05 AM | Personally, I wouldn't meet anyone with an excuse not to post a picture.
I also have coworkers and merciless friends, who poke fun at me for internet dating.
I also would rather prefer not to be recognized from my profile.
But if I can post my pics, it's only fair he should too.
As for the weeding out shallow people, I posted worse than I actually look like (which is funny when you meet people and get that shocked look on their face and comments like "wow, you're hot!!") :-)
There is no excuse for not showing your face here, and I wouldn't want to meet someone who isn't brave enough to stand behind his profile. | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 8:42:27 PM | I did it once and will never do it again...
One night long ago, I was on here talking to a gentleman with no picture and he seemed pretty cool. He was a great conversationalist. He described what he looked like and assured me he was “easy on the eyes“ and that women tell him he‘s good looking all the time. The conversations were going good, he offered his phone number and I called. We talked for about 2 hours on the phone and it was a great conversation.
The next day I went to work and he called and asked if I’d like to meet him for lunch to see what he looked like and to meet in person. The plan was to meet at a little outdoor café. I drove past the restaurant hoping to just do a “drive by” and see if I could see him from the road. He was sitting at a table outside, but had a newspaper in front of his face so I couldn’t see him. I knew it was him though.
I parked my car and walked over to where he was. He dropped the paper and I’m sure my eyes gave away the fact that I did not find him attractive in the least. Definitely not my type and NOT at all as he’d described himself. He was about 50 pounds heavier, 4 inches shorter and maybe 15 years older than he described himself to be. I walked up and shook his hand, introduced myself and sat down. I didn’t want to be rude and just turn around screaming and run away, although the thought did cross my mind.
I was sitting directly across from him and he started squishing his legs together in a very fast motion. Smoosh Squish Smoosh Squish, open/close/open/close... very quickly. I was thinking “wow, this guy is nervous”, but the conversation was leading me to think he really wasn’t nervous. He continued pushing his legs together and every once in a while would reach down and put his hand on his crotch and then squish some more. I finally realized (duh) that he was stimulating himself while talking to me. Took me a good 3 minutes to figure it out. I got up, told him I had to leave and started walking to my car. He told me he’d walk me to my car. I told him he didn’t need to, it was 10 feet away. He tried getting into the passenger side of my car and I literally pushed him out with my hand and locked the door.
It only takes one meeting like that to know it’ll never happen again. Thank God it was a public place.
No picture, no conversation. I realize that may seem closed minded to some, but I could really care less. It’s my rule. I also won’t talk to anyone on the phone unless I’ve gotten to know them a little via writing first. We learn as we go about this online dating “stuff” and I refuse to risk meeting another Mr. Squishy Balls! | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 11:09:10 PM | I did just his last night. Dating sight unseen. Though he had seen a pic of me. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. I think I expected the worst. he was what he said he was. His "online" personality and "real life" personality matched. Dont you just love it when that happens? I got a date, I got a date And it actually worked out. Though he thinks i may be paranoid reading all these forums. Trying to gain insight into the male mind. He actually paid for dinner, despite my offer to go dutch, and declined my offer to pay the next time, though there will be a next time. What did he say? "What kind of guys are you dating?" and I said, "well, i havent dated for a while, but I read the forums" Wow, makes me wonder, is this a good thing or a bad thing? All I could say was that he was "new" to the internet. The disenchantment comes after a few years. But, I did, "I had a date" that went well. Wish me Luck??? | |

Posted: 7/24/2008 8:22:45 PM | Sounds like you trusted your instincts and took a chance and met someone, cool! Isn't that what dating is about? I always thought so... I realize the Internet is a convenient and safe place to meet people from all over the world but it lacks the personal touch...one-to-one... its like that for everything anymore, people don't talk to each other, they text, email, IM or chat... I miss meeting people in real life, so when a chance to meet a new guy comes along and he sounds interesting, even without a picture, and it feels good, just do it.... life is about living not hiding behind a pc all day in some room all alone.
ps: by the way guys just because you put a picture out there doesn't mean you don't have to try and have some conversation... a wink does not count as intelligent or interesting dialog.

Posted: 7/24/2008 9:39:11 PM | As you can see for yourselves, I have no pic with my profile. To be very honest, I DO NOT know how to download or upload (which ever it is) a photo. If you read my profile, I tell you that and if some one responds, I ask them how I can send them one or how do I put it on here for people to see. As far as trust is concerned, I tell the lady that if she would like to see what I look like, I will be more than happy to go down town or anywhere else they would like me to go, Stand in the middle of the street holding a giant yellow balloon, and they can drive by, see me, blow their horn and go home and e-mail me. I even give them my e-snail address.
There really are some guys on here that ARE NOT creeps and are looking for a date. At my age, I'm to old to play these stupid KIDDIE games. I'm looking for a lady to walk with me, talk with me and enjoy each others company for the rest of my time here on this earth. SO, sometimes a little faith can go along ways. P.S. I've meet a very great lady on this site without me having a pic. She's great and we've been seeing each other for awhile now.   | |
