Do what you have to do, so as to have pictures to post. One can buy a flash drive for $15, and cheap digi cameras for $25 at Wal-Mart. Download pics to a computer at the library and transfer to your flash drive, and upload them to your profile. If you're serious about finding someone online, it's part of the deal.
Most people assume that, if you don't have a pic, that you're married, engaging in an online fantasy, or are seriously "appearance challenged". Most of the people willing to consider someone without a pic are either desperate, or are married and looking for a fling. | |

Posted: 12/4/2008 8:38:46 AM | I don't even browse the profiles with pics and I have only gone on meets with people with no pics. I find the written info in the thumbnail more interesting....the pics tell me nothing, except that guy with a soc on his head. I also don't read the testimonials anymore, waste of time, and yet I would have thought it a good idea.....
I have had only success meeting men with no pics. We email chatted for a long time--they have no pic, so they expect to chat via email for a very long time-- and I knew the fellows reasonably well before meeting face to face.
However, I read the forums a lot and I look at profiles (usually to get leads to good links) but I do look at the pics there, I surprised myself! I haven't met anyone from the forums face to face, but I expect to at some point as some of the POF events look interesting. However, I will be going (and leaving) with a fellow from POF that has no pics on his profile.
:O) | |

For me it is not that I don't want to put a pic. It is the abilility to do so.
You could just ask any friend, acquaintance, or co-worker who does have a camera phone to snap a few and e-mail them to you. This is the kind of favor people like to be asked (they don't have to be particularly close to you), because it allows them to show off their awesome skills! I would do this for you, and we haven't even met. Heck, I'd do it for anyone. I think most people would.
To topic: personally, I tend to think most of the time that no photo = married, but that has a lot to do with age range, too. I prefer late 40s to mid-50s; married is just really likely in that range anyway, so a certain amount of examination is required on my part generally. I don't meet without having seen a photo. | |

You're right... I'd gone two years without sex... (right after my divorce)
The last time I went two years without sex was right after I got married...
And if they don't have a picture, they know little or nothing about how dating works and they aren't to be taken seriously.

Posted: 12/20/2008 4:37:27 PM | well I know that a few people I have met with out pics were alot older than they said they were and you never know what kind of a maniac lurks on here and believe you me I heard there are many, from other people that have used this system. I have spoke with men, that all they wanted was a quick booty call and then adios. I think doing something like that would be pretty tacky and disrepectful to your own individual self, if you are just out to do that to your self then you really need help big time and you are only desperate to get some kind of attention. I truly think that is being needy. But you never know there might be some very sincere people out there and patience is a virtue. Take your time and try to do the best you can and be picky...the world is your oyster. But please do be careful, life should not be a disapointment.

Why do people feel the need to hide...afterall they are wanting to correspond....if not and just hiding then they should not be allowed to have a profile.

Posted: 12/29/2008 8:36:44 AM | | Not a question of being "brave", but, if no pic, she's hiding something...I wonder what ELSE she's hiding. Bravery is for the person CREATING a profile. They should be comfortable enough in their own skin and with themselves to advertise themselves to the world AS IS. After all, the pic and initial profile stats are only designed to generate interest...you still have to chat awhile and figure out if you'd like to meet...this site is only the beginning, not the end! | |

Posted: 12/29/2008 12:22:58 PM | That goes to show you how materialistic people are. Looks rules all. Dont get me wrong. I agree looks play a significant part. I mean noone wants to date freddy crueger. But it seems that the majority of women here seek out a hot guy regardless of who he is. What if hes a cheater, a beater, an axe murderer.
Ex.
Past relationship. Brad pitt and jennifer aniston. She loved him and was devastated. If Brad got badly scarred all over his face, would jen be as quick to get back with him. People confuse looks with love.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What she finds attractive, the next girl may not. But a smart woman would base her answer on whats on the inside as well as on the out.
Thats why people get married and divorced all the time. They dont know who they are really with. They just know that they love the way their "significant" other looks. | |

Posted: 12/29/2008 10:20:57 PM | | I have not posted a picture for several reasons. First of all I live in a small town and have reconized some of the men in my town by their photos posted with their profiles. I value my privacy and would not like yo be followed home by someone who recognizes my photo. Sacondly, I have not restricted persons without photos from contacting me. A photo is no guarantee of who you are talking with. For me the beauty of a mans heart and the strength of his character is much more important. Pretty can be faked and sooner or later fades. I have no desire to be anyones arm candy, and pretty boys just do not appeal to me. If I give my heart to anyone it will be because he knows and appreciates the person that I am. Dating can be very casual. If you choose your dated based on what they look like you are cheating yourself out of the opportunity to know somw pretty incredible human beings. For the guys out there who date women who their buddys approve of deserve what you get. Some men just never grow up. Ladies who only dat the jock with the hot car and fat bank account, stop wondering why you cant hold on to your man. Hes moved on to the next flavor of the month. If you really want what you said you want try getting to know whats on the inside first and if the outside matches....bonus! I an reasonably sure that any man who takes the time to get me wont be too disapointed when we meet and if he is ....Next | |
