Posted: 8/22/2008 7:44:57 PM | what i think of someone without a picture is:
a. someone who is still dating someonelse and is afraid their partner will see it (seen this one most of the time)
b. Lack of self confidence
c. a really, really, really, REALLY, shy person
d. An absolute Brilliant person that looks like a super-model and is the equivelent of your knight on a riding hose
that is all.... | |

Posted: 8/23/2008 11:48:23 AM | "No picture, don't even look at profile, or answer mail...No way....Why would someone not post a picture? hiding something, married, stalker, super fat. Very easy to post photos.
No excuse ."
All guys should do what this guy does...don't even think about messaging women without a picture...there are no good looking women on here without pictures...they are all stupid, fat and ugly if they don't have a picture.
Out the goodness of my heart so these women don't feel lonely here, I'll message them for you guys. | |

Posted: 8/23/2008 12:01:13 PM | Sometimes I look at profile without pic, even talk to a few. I ask for a pic and they end up not my type. It doesn't matter If I have a pic or not, I still really don't get emails. This online dating it starting to cause me low self-esteem.
From another site, one guy emailed me without a pic. So I ask for one. I saw his pic and thought what the hell, so I met him, man was he handsome, pic did him no justice at all. HE said the same for me, we still talk but have had bad luck in meeting again, because of the weather here in Florida. So he ask me to meet him Friday before he left for the weekend. I melted when I saw him again. We'll see if we will meet again. Says he's very interested but we'll see. | |

Posted: 8/23/2008 5:06:35 PM | | I would think that they may be trying to hide something. Also, what's so hard about posting your picture? Really. Is it that hard? So maybe some aren't so bright...ask someone to help you post a pic then. Ppl who don't post a pic, appear shady to me. Then again, you never know if the pics on there are really even the person they claim to be. Basically, it's a risk, but not one I'd want to take. Let's face it...some ppl seem interesting that aren't so local and someone could lie about everything. It could boil down to a total waste of time, then again so could one's w/pics. I guess I'd rather see something then nothing...and hope for the best!! No pic, no reply. | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 9:02:31 AM | | I've never met anyone without 1st seeing a picture. I have though, actually met 2 women who purposely posted bad pictures of themselves in order to weed out the shallow, internet wolves. They were both VERY beautiful in person. I was incredibly surprised and impressed with their logic. I ended up dating one of them for about 6 months, until the "ugly" inside surfaced... | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 9:39:16 AM | I've met two men off here at different times who had no pic.
Neither of them were weird in any way. Neither was a Prince Charming either, but both better looking than some of the pics I see on here and nice people. One I only saw once, the other I had three dates with.
Their emails were interesting enough that I wanted to carry on chatting with them and meet them - don't get that many interesting emails that I'd pass them up without answering at least once. They had their own reasons why they didn't want to put pics up and both understood that the number of people who would talk to them would be limited, and even less people would meet them.
One supplied a pic after we'd emailed a few times, the other didn't.
There must be quite a few people on here who DO meet without pics because both of them had a few dates and one met his LTR on here. One is still here and we still chat occasionally (hope he doesn't mind the Prince Charming comment if he sees it!).
Sometimes it's worth taking a risk in life. Not everybody is hiding something. And considering the number of people with pics who are married or fake or just not nice people it's not really that much of a risk. | |

Posted: 8/27/2008 10:08:54 PM | | The only time I would contact someone without a pic is because of their profession. For example if she was a teacher, or a police officer, I could understand why they wouldn't want their picture online. I even contacted one girl because she was a twin; she was respecting the right to her sister. I will not comment on their looks; because, I was going off of their profile and how they described themselves and I was comfortable with that.... The worst that can happen is you meet someone new in your life. | |

Posted: 8/30/2008 10:23:37 PM | I can speak from experience because I posted my picture and then took it off when I met my girlfriend (we didn't meet on Plenty...)
When I had my picture up, many women were interested in talking to me but they weren't my type. I wasn't attracting the right women for my own needs.
After I met my girlfriend, I took my pictures off because I wanted to post on the forums and was worried about my privacy. I still left the door open for friendship but I don't think women on Plenty are looking for that....
A lot of people don't read the profiles. Maybe they can't read. It just shows you how people make important relationship decisions based on pictures.
Taking my picture off of Plenty was a real good idea. I don't have to worry about silly women contacting me because they are too busy chasing after a picture that may or may not be recent or even real. Women don't contact me, but I have a girlfriend and the forums are really all you need for Plenty anyway. | |

The question is, is it safe? People who are cops, work for the DA's office in the crimial prosecution division, work with domestic violence victims, or have a nutty person in their past may not be in a real hurry to have people be able to find them quite that easily. Does not mean they never want to date! | |

Posted: 8/31/2008 7:42:01 AM | | I would reply to an email, or if the profile was interesting, but would NOT meet someone without having seen their photo, preferably a head shot and a body shot. As pointed out above, there are many valid reasons for not wanting your photo online. | |

Posted: 8/31/2008 7:58:10 AM | I have intentionally not posted a pic with my profile because I know that I would be receving responses based soley on my looks. I am beautiful...inside and out...and anybody that responds to my profile will have to be drawn to my inward beauty first...not the package that I come wrapped in!
I am glad that your guy was hot and that it ended up being a positive connection : )
I wish you the best of luck...

Posted: 9/10/2008 3:14:06 PM | God no! I would never meet anyone without pics on their profile.. (This is a profile just for the forums btw, reg profile has pics)
It would be like ordering off a menu in a restraunt that just had numbers on it instead of descriptions of the food.. Say for instance it just said "4" .. Would you order it? I don't care if the waiter says "trust me, it`s good" on a dating site, you have to have a picture.. Call me shallow, im ok with that. U say u havnt had a bad experience? Well u will... even people w pics lie or have old pics.. I even have a policy now where no full body shot no meet. I may come off shallow but I don't ask for anything I can't provide in return..

Posted: 9/10/2008 3:24:43 PM | | I would like to add "beware of people without smiles" I talked to a nice man over the phone and thought we clicked. The only pic of him was without a smile. I met him in person and his teeth was all jacked up with bad breath. To top it off, he had an attitude and was different. | |

Posted: 9/10/2008 6:49:48 PM | I cannot - for the life of me - get my head around those who are so NEGATIVE towards people who do not post pictures - and are so VOCAL in expressing their thought process, which is usually demeaning.
However - since that is NOT the topic of this thread..........moving on...............
Yes - I've met people from POF whom I've previously not seen a picture of - each one having it's own 'ending'.
1) he WAS attractive..........but had the personality of dried up sponge - and he came across so differently via e-mails and chat................go figure?????
2) he was dishonest about his 'physical' appearance. He had himself listed as "athletic". I'm still willing to bet the beer money that he had to weigh close to 350 lbs.
Now before I go getting slammed on that - listen...............I have NO issues with body sizes/shapes. I have a Father and Brother who are 'big boys' - and both are the sweetest men you could ever hope to know............
My issue was that he LIED about it. What - he didn't think I would notice the extra 150 some odd pounds?? My thought process is: "gonna lie about the little things - gonna lie about the big things". At least he had the good graces to show some embarrassment in his "less than honest" behaviour...........
3) I just very recently met a man - sight unseen - and was NOT disappointed. Not at all........he has one of the sexiest smiles I've seen in AGES.................awesome personality..............and very sexy eyes.
On the flip side of this thread...........I've also met men who look NOTHING like their posted pictures. One man I was meeting walked up to me and for the life of me I could not figure out why - till he said "Hi, I'm so-and-so". Actually, I've met several people who look NOTHING like their posted pictures.
So in finishing this rather long post (I apologize for that) - I would again meet someone I've never seen a picture of............and I've learned not to put too much 'faith' in the pictures that have been posted.

Posted: 9/12/2008 12:59:28 PM | I feel very apprehensive about meeting anyone without a picture.
No one wants to be ridiculed by coworkers, clients, friends and family.
Yet the brave souls who put the picture on their profile get hit on by those not so brave and are called shallow for not responding..
How is that supposed to work?
Good for you OP, but the other 99% of no pictures are the marrieds or otherwise attached.
The heck with that!

Posted: 9/12/2008 1:14:42 PM | i have met three guys without pics on their profile, i was very curious after reading their profile i find it intriguing, it is more of a challenge when they dont have a pic. the dates went the same way as all i have had so far one date only i must be doing something wrong lol. i find if you like their profile it doesnt matter if they dont have a pic, they soon put one up when you talk on msn. | |

Posted: 9/12/2008 4:54:28 PM | I absolutely did not read the entire thread... wow don't have time. I don't post a public picture because that's my personal filter. Seems to work very well for me in keeping most of the horndogs off my porch.
I do have private picts that I don't mind sharing with someone I have had some email communication with, whether as friends or whatever.
I definitely would not meet someone without a picture nor would I expect them to meet me without one.
That being said, I have met someone once who had a picture and nearly walked right by as I didn't recognize him at all. The pict must have been atleast 10 years old, if it was even ever him at all. Just because someone posts a picture doesn't necessarily means it's a true portrait. I am sure many others know what I mean. How many have met someone that is way different then the pict they post?
