| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 6/29/2005 7:31:35 PM | Hi Bosslady,
First I'd like to say good for you in meeting a great guy... I wish you well. I've met a guy once who did have a pic, and was surprised to find that his picture didn't even begin to capture his great looks. I too, had a picture posted at that time, and this took place on another dating site. I also once met a guy through just conversation and was totally surprised again...but not in a good way...lol So, I guess you never know.
I'll meet up with just about anyone, except obviously strange men, for a coffee and a chat... I can't say that my view has been reciprocated by the men though... my experience so far with guys on POF has been show me a pic or I'm not chatting with you anymore... and that's o.k. too. | |

Posted: 6/29/2005 8:50:38 PM | Yup, met 2 and they were very nice guys. Not too bad looking either. The chemistry wasn't there though. So now we are just good frineds which is ok too. I like meeting anyone as long as we stay friends. I'm not out to hurt anyone.  | |

Posted: 7/1/2005 9:46:28 AM | I would prefer to see a pic of the man I am chatting with,because I like to see who I am talking with. But no pic wouldn't stop me from meeting somewhere for a coffee, if I had a good sense about him.
Yes, I am a bit curious as to why some will not post a pic of themselves, kind of raises some questions.
But then when a person does post a pic, how does anyone know if it's recent,or if it's real true representation of them? | |

Posted: 7/2/2005 1:44:03 AM | | been there done that.... all I have to say is, its possible to have things work out, but the odds are mostly against you. the chances of both of you finding eachother attractive (im assuming your somewhat selective) are very slim as you are going into the situation with an already pre concieved notion of what this person looks like (IE you have already spoken and given eachothers physical descriptions).. thus, this is a bad idea...... | |

Posted: 7/2/2005 2:39:28 AM | Pictures are kind of important. You wouldn't buy a diamond without looking at it first would you? Or a car? The analogy is the same.
In my experience meeting someone with no pics posted usually result in me doing this when I get back home....  | |

Posted: 7/4/2005 5:57:09 PM | I tried that before. Profile said all the right things. She actually they were both quite nice. Description read ATHLETIC and TONED. So we setup a meeting place in a neutral area. Well lit and populated. I stated what I would wear and so did she.
Feeling something wasnt quite right because she posted no pic, I lied about what I would have on and the type of car......I drove around the parking lot for about an hour past meeting time and was about to give up. Then she drove up in the car she described. They sat for about 5 minutes and proceeded to walk into the grocery store.
They were both est. 285lbs plus some. Cute faces but obviously not ATHLETIC AND TONED. They were looking all around the lot and I thought they spotted me because they both turned and stared. They kept going into the store and I put the Mustang in 1st gear and hammered the throttle leaving that episode in the dust.
I will never trust words alone no matter how nice and christian like they are. Now on the other hand some of us are still in the stone age and dont own a dig camera. So you have to drawn the line somewhere. | |

Posted: 7/7/2005 11:13:28 PM | I will give most anyone a chance. I've met people without pics posted before. But be honest with yourselves----if there is little to no attraction then developing something is going to be difficult.
I do not exclude people without pics posted though. That is kind of like throwing away a chance at something wonderful....
However if you are not attracted to a person you are going to look elsewhere. Everyone has different tastes.

Posted: 7/10/2005 3:39:29 PM | | Ive met lots of people with no pictures. I usually give them a chance if they dont have a picture. Alot of people dont want to post there picture for many reasons mainly because of privacy issues. If they sound interesting enough sure Id like to meet them. Im not that shallow when it comes to looks. The ones I met who did not have a pic, I ushually was not attracted to physically but I still had a good conversation with them and we can be friends, the more friends you have in this world the better. I think people who say in their profile "no picture no response" are stupid they are missing out on some decent people in this world in wich they could develope friendships or relationships with. | |

Posted: 7/10/2005 4:58:30 PM | I know I won't talk to people without a picture.
Being a logical person I apply rules universally which meant I had to stop talking to myself. Which is to bad because I have a quirky sense of humor, and I am great company. I really miss me!  | |

Posted: 7/11/2005 12:56:14 AM | What's up everyone, first of all I just want to say that everyone that does not have a pic on there profile is not trying to hide something. Have any of you ever stopped to think that maybe they don't have any current pics to post as of yet, or maybe they really do want someone to choose them for their mind and conversation rather than their appearance. I don't have a pic posted...not because I look bad, but because I don't have any updated pics to post as of yet, the last picture I took was in 2002 while I was still serving in the military. I know that alot of people base their decisions about a person based on apperance and i'm sorry to say........but that's sad. I have met a very beautiful woman on POF and she has yet to see my pic and she knows the honest truth why and she also knows that if she really wants to see what I look like I would be more than happy to send her one of my military pictures until I can get a current photo posted online, and i'm so lucky to have met her because she understands and have accepted it (Thanks to my little boxer...you know who you are).I do agree that some people who do not have a pic posted are trying to hide something and to everyone who has fallen victim to those perverts.....i'm sorry, but for those of us who really have a good reason why our pics aren't posted...please give us a break! | |

Posted: 7/11/2005 9:49:52 AM | I met a gal like that, but it didn't work out as far as love goes. No chemistry in real life..
But we are friends, and we still have fun because we communicate great.
And just like you, bosslady, i knew i would have a good time with this person.
Maybe because the lack of pressure, and because we never made any stupid promises. | |

Posted: 7/12/2005 11:20:14 AM | | I don't have a picture for several reasons. One is that I am so unphotogenic, have been told that I do not even look like the same person in real life. Another reason is because I am a teacher, and do not want my face online for others to see( I know, who should really care but a friend at work had hers on a profile and parents of students and students and fellow teachers saw it and she got a lof of grief for it forever). Also weeds out the men who are shallow to me, if they won't communicate with me without seeing a pic they need to grow up and get real.... | |

Posted: 7/14/2005 4:22:09 PM | | i have met up with someone without a pic. she was an amazing girl to talk to, but when we met there was no spark at all, well i felt that way anyways, but she felt differently. we could have been great friends but she wouldn't have liked that. in the end it's not good because someone might get hurt, and even though i would have preferred that it was me who was the one hurt, shit happens, and nothing can change the past, so live and learn. | |
