| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 11/7/2008 4:09:29 AM | LoL...I have met woman without a pic and hadda run...but...I dont post one because if she wants to connect she will do it from whats on my written profile...not my picture..and as I stated in the profile...I will send a pic on request.Shallowness is on both sides of the tracks and while Im not on here for a full out relationship try to explain and not play the games most do.The computer has opened the dating world and made it possible for people to meet and talk without the risks...if their careful....the rest is as always fate....later! | |

Posted: 11/11/2008 8:23:33 AM | I probably would NOT meet someone that has no pic. I have my pic up. I have plenty more, new and old. I even have a webcam, so that she can see what I look like from day to day. I want a woman to know that she is, at least initially, attracted to my personality AND appearance.
I don't want that first meet to be chock full of negative surprises. And, realistically, no physical attraction is going to be a deal breaker for anyone.
I'm, by far, NOT the best looking guy out there. I know this and am realistic about it. However, WHOM a person is DOES add to the overall person.
So, if someone is just "OK" looking in your book, but you come to discover that you believe that person to have a dynamite personality and the two of you get along fantastically. Well then, MOST peoples' eyes begin to soften towards the other person and you begin to see them in a whole new light. Then you begin to re-evaluate your list of demands, required of a potential partner.
As for no pic..........I'm not going to assume a whole list of negative possibilities. I don't have the time for that. And I don't choose to regularly think negative thoughts about people, in general.
If there's some game behind why they don't have a pic.......It'll rise to the surface. And if they are sincere in wanting to meet me? Then they will be sincere in wanting me to know what they look like. I will treat other people fairly up until they do not treat me fairly. So, since my pics are up. It's upto the other person to even things up, before I offer to possibly meet.
Fair is fair! | |

Posted: 11/11/2008 11:15:43 AM | Yes i have to say it was ugly! (that's a pun of course) I will not do it anymore. Look im not into wasting your time as well as mine, go to Walmart buy a cheap camera and post your pics. Yes i have been told that they are not cool with their face out there, that came from a married women i met. The other, who didnt want it out there told me cause she was embarrased. Okkkkk embarrased to look for love/find love?? Then i said to her, My motto, "we only live once and while im here i will live and dont care about what people think/say, if they talk about you, well i guess they are just not content with there own life, so sad!" Good luck on here, you got lucky!  | |

Posted: 11/11/2008 2:49:21 PM | | I don't think I would have to guts to meet someone without seeing a photo of them first. That would be very creepy and you don't know if something dangerous happens if you do. I tend to always ask the person im talking with if they have a website or my-space, there you can see a little bit more about who they are. | |

Posted: 11/11/2008 5:10:22 PM | To be honest, I dont think I would.
First, it's true in almost all relationships that there has to be some small physical attraction, otherwise it's not going to work. If they can't turn you on, then what's the point?
Secondly, people have a tendency to take pictures in ways that make them look alot "Better" than they really are. Certain lights and angles can make people seem a lot thinner or have better skin complexion.
My unwillingness to meet people without a picture is that generally I feel they have something to hide from me, which may not be the case, but I can't help what I think. Even people with pictures, you can't be sure when they took it or if that's what they really look like. | |

Posted: 11/11/2008 5:29:45 PM | | Not a chance. In addition, I'm not going to meet anyone who has only one picture and claims to have no more because it's too much uncertainty. I did it once here only because the one picture was quite stunning I thought, and she was just as stunning in person. Unfortunately, I was one and out at her whim. | |

Posted: 11/12/2008 12:06:29 AM | | I did so once. She wrote such charming emails, almost poetic, which captured my attention, each one ending with come on and take a chance. I was intrigued, ok almost dared with the come on and take a chance line and after a brief phone conversation agreed to meet. I had lunch for an hour with the worlds biggest middle aged Disney fan alive! Black jacket with Micky & Minnie, Goofy suspenders, light up Minnie sneakers and a Pluto baseball cap! I was polite though and very much a gentleman to let her know I felt no attraction. | |

Posted: 11/13/2008 7:33:54 PM | Not anyone without a photo, but a picture that was somewhat vague. It's probably worth clicking the report button over.
I got a pic from their private stash and upon meeting in person, found she did not really look the same as that pic either.
Giving the impression that you've got something to hide is what I call standing on shaky ground. | |

Posted: 11/18/2008 5:38:52 PM | Hello, bosslady! I got to know someone online 8 years ago, starting with posting on a message board. We talked on the phone and emailed, chatted, IM'd for 7 months before we exchanged pictures, and then met in person for the first time a month after that. We were together for 5 years.
I don't know if I would be brave enough to do that now...with camera phones, webcams, cameras, scanners, etc. and how easy it is to post pictures, I would wonder why someone wouldn't post a picture. Like...wanted by the FBI? married? You know? | |

Posted: 11/26/2008 6:50:32 PM | I went on a couple of dates a while ago with a man that didn't have a picture. Turned out he was nice looking, lived close, and although we had a good time there wasn't a real connection so we didn't date further.
The other day I was working at a place about 30 miles from home and met this lady we began chatting and she told me where her SO works. I said "oh I know a guy who works there also what is your SO name?" Turned out it was the same guy I had dated months before! They had been living together about 8 years.
I never said a thing to her about meeting him just played it off and let it go. Figured I wasn't going to be the bearer of bad news to a lady I barely knew.
Sooooo....To answer your question NO! I won't be repeating that mistake again. | |

Posted: 11/26/2008 7:05:38 PM | How is it possible to know that a prospective date has posted current pics of themselves anyway? If I'd posted a photo taken 10 years ago, you'd still pick me out in a crowd, but time takes its toll on us oldies as you can see, and I'm sure I'd get a lot more attention with a photo of 30 yo me than that 40 yo me.
Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear, people say, because it's expected that we all want to look presentable for the cameras, and anyone with photoshop can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Posted: 11/27/2008 12:46:50 AM | Yeah...don't feel like reading through 80+ pages but all I'm going to say is that
I've actually messaged no pics because they actually sounded intriguing to me by their description and the funny part is, they never reply back. | |

Posted: 11/30/2008 6:17:08 PM | | In regards to your question, yes I was brave enough to meet someone from CB without a picture...It was a connection from the first time we met at a Restaurant for coffee and later that evening,he brought me flowers with a nice card,opened my car door and we went to a nice Restaurant for dinner....came back to my place and just talked,he went home and later on in the week he called me to go out again,,that continued for 2-3 wks and then things led to a heated situation but everytime that happened,he finally told me he was having problems after going home with our relationship,and finally told me it was due to his wife which had passed away 2yrs ago..He left for out of town for a month and came back and thought he was passed it so we got back together. (We were both in Love with each other very much) it lasted about 3wks again and the same thing happened, but this time I told him it was over for good..I was devastated and lost 18 lbs because of it,but now have gotten my life back in order and have been corresponding with others again. I found out he and his wife had promised things to each other before she had passed and the guilt ate at him..But I wasn't sorry for the meeting without a picture.He was a Sweetheart within himself and I knew that..But it made me a stronger person and to watch for flags when chatting and believe me I can detect them...so just wanted to let you know what happened to me...Thanks for listening. Congratulations to you...Grt8gal... | |

Posted: 12/1/2008 9:27:06 AM | Yes I have...but I didn't meet him online...I met him on the phone by accidentally calling the wrong number. Weird! We went out the next day, I had fun.
He wasn't what I would normally be physically attracted to but we still clicked. | |

Posted: 12/1/2008 1:18:47 PM | For me it is not that I don't want to put a pic. It is the abilility to do so. I don't have a Camera Phone with Internet, I don't have a home computer with a web cam, or any other ability to do so. I have to take some photos to a Walmart, and have them down loaded to a disc. Then, take the disc to the Public Library, where I use the computer, and down load them. While I am working on it. I hope the women will at least get a general idea of me from my profile. For all of you who read this, believe me, you are not going to get sex symbol of the year with me. You will get an open hearted, honest, and kind man who will not beat the hell out of you or treat you like a tramp.  | |
