I agree 100% to you, I think people who ask pics right away even before saying hello are not only for looks, they cant be trusted

OP: As stated in my profile, I will NOT entertain anyone that does not provide a pix first. I need and want to be physically attracted to my potential partner. Furthermore, why would they not be capable of posting it? Unless you work as an undercover agent of some sort there is no reason (IMO).

No.. Never.
First of all I need to chat for awhile online to see if we have anything in common and get a feel for the person... then maybe by phone...
but never meet without seeing a picture and it has nothing to do with appearances because i don't put any emphasis on appearances.

I did about ten years ago. I knew someone on AOL from Massachusetts, and we had talked online for about two years. We never even so much as discussed the possibility of the two of us being anything more than friends. We simply discussed everyday things and music quite a bit.

She had seen my picture, but she never managed to get her's online.

One day, she emailed me to tell me she and a few friends were coming down to go to Disney, and asked if I wanted to meet up with them.

I agreed to, and she ended up being absolutely gorgeous. We were attracted to each other, and had the two years of friendship that established a sense of closeness, but sadly, we both realized the distance would surely be an issue.

I met my exwife through a newspaper ad, no pic, just a few phone calls before we met. It lasted 15 years.

This is my take on the whole "no Picture" thing. I was watching Dr. Phil a couple of years ago and the suject was internet dating. Dr. Phil said that 1/3 of all men on these sites are married. Now if I was married would I want my friends, wife, children, pastor, whoever knowing I was looking to cheat. I think not. So probably a lot of profiles with no pictures are from married people, both men and women.
So people be careful out there, some are so desparate for companionship/love that they take unnecessary risks. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck chances are its a ...........duck.

Sorry you have that impression of women on POF, I do not know any who are that way at all. A lot of men seem to be pic obsessed, but that is some men and not all men.

Alex89,
I don't know if that is true or not....but I hope not. However, I do appreciate a pic.....even if it shows you on a bike. That tells me that you are not a show off - trying to "buy" women with your big $$$ gas guzzler and are concerned about the environment. ie your values.

I do hear some young men like you complain that women are interested in the $ sign. If many say so, it must be true to some extent.
But, keep the faith; there are nice women your age out there. Good luck in the pond.
p.s. What's a GQ picture?

perhaps that is why you have been out here so long? looks are important, there has to be an attraction. not everyone who dosent post a pic is unattractive, there are many reasons not to. you could really be missing out.

I have no idea if your a man or a woman,, but have you ever considered,, how many people pass you up because you don't have a picture,, just a thought,, You might be missing out as well..

I posted a long time ago,, I have met some one without a picture,, that was 25 yrs ago,, and I married that woman,,

I wouldn't do it again though,, because people man and woman lie, I also know that pictures can be deceiving as well,, but then at least you can look at some one and say,, hey,, your picture is 15 yrs old,, or your not as thin as you stated,, or your to skinny,, either way,, it's a way of judging the honesty of another person,,

Yes, I have and it turned out to be the best experience of my life. I have no reservations at all if there is enough chatting, emails, im's and phone. I've never been into a mans looks anyway...... it's the man on the inside I'm always interested in.

Wow, this guy is either, really technology-slow... or really got his head on together.

I personally wouldn't meet someone unless I see a photo... I usually am attracted ultimately to emotions and intellect over complete physical looks, but there has got to be some sort of attraction.

Mazel tov, I hope it works out for you.

I don't care very much for people with no pictures, it has nothing to do with their looks,whether they are plain or good looking. It has something to do with hiding their person,they may be married, have girlfriend or worst they are wanted by police... I have a friend who post her profile with out her pic. Her reason is she is ashame to be seen by her friends,co workers ,and her children,her belief is dating on line are only for hopeless people. Hmm.

I'm with Niceshyguy. I had a professional picture done because i don't like having my picture taken. People were always commenting that I looked unfriendly. It just showed that I didn't like having my picture taken. The professionals know how to get a smile out off you. LOL

hmm...Not sure if it's bravery or foolishness... Meeting sans pic was the norm in
"pre-Internet" days where people placed personal ads in local newspapers,(most commonly no pics just height weight descriptions..)
Nowadays people posting online who want to meet you after seeing your pic but have no pic of themselves is a deal breaker .... wtf, and they come up with a plethora of lame excuses why they don't have a pic.."I dont know how to upload/ dont have a digital camera/don't have a webcam/don't know how this thing works... lmfaooo

No way... No how
No thx..

I use this to weed women out. If their first line is "show me a picture" they are toast.

Also, POF says people get 10 times as many hits with a picture - that's too many for me.

I supply a picture soon enough but she has to get my interest first.

I wouldn't meet without a pic. Not because I care so much about appearances, but I wonder if he doesn't post a pic because he doesn't want his wife to find out he's on pof or if perhaps he is using someone else's identity. Paranoid? Maybe, but I'm sticking to my guns....

Oh HEEEELLLLLLLLLLZZZZZ NOOOOOOOO

I pay for my dates and I don't feel like spending time and cash on someone I may have zero interest in sexually when I could be going out with someone I find attractive. I would go on a blind date but only with the recommendation of someone who has actually seen them.

Not that sex is everything but it is a biggie, and the first thing I go by when deciding who I want to go out with is attraction.

I mean they are only interested in your looks and money, once u dont have it they will leave you

Of course, thats it. New rule. I will not contact anyone who doesn't post their bank account information.

Geez, One doesn't have to be a horn dog or shallow to want to know what someone looks like. I would not meet someone blind. Further, I would want someone who knew what they looked like to be able to give a description of I didn't come back. People posting fake pics eventually get caught. People sending fake pics and keeping no pic on their profile are not so likely to be discovered. If you don't have a pic up I have to assume there is a good reason that is not in my best interest.

I'm curious what sort of women taq1 is "weeding out?"

I'm actually thinking printing out the profile with pic and leaving it in your car is not a bad idea, along with the typical tell a friend who you're meeting, where you're going, when you sb back.

seems that you wouldn't post a photo if you are saying untrue things and that is why you couldn't have your name, description and photo together...found that the people who say they want fun and interesting, want sleazy and sex chat..not all but enough that I am wary of everyone...better safe than sorry...especially as a woman.
