| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 2/8/2009 6:20:05 PM | While I prefer someone to have a picture, the problem is pictures can be drastically altered with the use of photoshop and the dates can be altered as well. I think now, I would be more open to meet someone without a picture, just because even with the picture you still don't know who might show up, so really what is the difference. Just sayin  | |

Posted: 2/8/2009 6:26:41 PM | | ^^^^^^true,, but if they have a picture and altered it,, or lied about the date when it was taken, for example, it a woman I was going to meet said she was 5'7' 130#,, and that was the picture she showed,, then when she showed up to the date and she was 160# + pounds,, I would have no issues saying see ya,, have a good night,,, | |

Posted: 2/8/2009 6:42:41 PM | | ^^^^^ I'm not really sure if it's courage,, because do we really want to hang out with or get to know someone who has lied or attempted to deceive us.. I think not...,, I'd say,, it would be a leaning experiace for the other person and if happens enough,, people walking away, polity,, they may change there ways,, But again, if some one is a woman if might be a little more difficult to walk away, only because some men can be asses and cause issues later on I guess,, | |

Posted: 2/8/2009 9:06:14 PM | Wait a minute. I happen to be taller then 5'7 and with a large frame and 160 pounds may seem like a lot, but when I was an athlete and did weight training I never had an ounce of fat on me and weighed a LOT more then that . That is NOT a good example and within normal range for a female non athlete.
But who are you to say the next person may not fall in love with her heart and not see the extra pounds. Would he have met her if she had put extra pounds? Perhaps not. Not everyone is as judgmental as the next person and no woman actually looks like Barbie, the quintessential male fantasy figure. (look at the men calling the stars and singers who are not anorexic fat...grrrrrr)
Some people have some pretty good feelings about themselves when perhaps they need more mirror time... dare I say it, even a few here with pictures. Most people fudge themselves that they look better then they do, so of course they will portray themsleves to be even better then that.
Dishonesty with self and others will almost always come back and bite you. I would rather have honesty then a picture that lied. And to answer the question I have met without a picture as they are willing to give me the benefit of the doubt. As females we need to use precautions where and when you meet. I make a note and email myself, but a picture can also be false so the bravery is even more of an issue for females then uggo. | |

I'm happy for you,, but my example was just fine,, because I wasn't talking about you, notice I used these words below,,
true,, but if they have a picture and altered it,, or lied about the date when it was taken, for example, it a woman I was going to meet said she was 5'7' 130#,, and that was the picture she showed,, then when she showed up to the date and she was 160# + pounds,, I would have no issues saying see ya,, have a good night,,,

(look at the men calling the stars and singers who are not anorexic fat...grrrrrr)
I never mentioned falling in love,, but if you want to fall in love with someone who out right lied on the first date,, feel free to,,
However,, I do think your taking my example kind of personal,, because I wasn't judging body type ,, I was judging some one who lied........
Dishonesty with self and others will almost always come back and bite you. I would rather have honesty then a picture that lied
That was partly my point,, only in my example, both the person lied, plus they lied using an old picture,,
I have met without a picture as they are willing to give me the benefit of the doubt.
I have met with out a picture as well,, matter of fact, I married the woman, we were married 15yrs.... but back then neither one of us lied,,, about what we looked liked,, she knew what I looked like,, but I had no clue about anything,, we just met.. | |

Posted: 2/9/2009 7:59:12 AM | Excuse me but I was also talking about the woman you might meet. She may well have been exactly as stated. With different framework, bone density and fat/muscle ratio your weight can be very difficult to determine visually. Hence the need for a scale... I win with the weight guessers at the fair ALWAYS and get a prize for the kids, because with a large frame, it is difficult to guess weight and they can be under by as much as 75 pounds ... which is a lot would you not say.
I am confused why you are taking what I said personally as I merely was pointing out a flaw in your judgment of a person's honesty and so was a bad example. I am not taking it personally, merely pointing it out. Surely your self esteem could not be the issue as you are showing your shirtless self and have over 2 thousand posts, so why are you referring to me as though I jumped upon you and attacked you? Please do not answer... it is rhetoric.
The rest of my post was on topic, and not directed to you at all, yet you feel a need to admonish me for my addition to a topic, while not being on topic. Alrighteee, thanks for the welcome to the forums old timer.

I'm not taking it personally,, and what I wrote is not flawed,, because is a woman show a picture of her self, that is not current, and she has a flat stomach,, she states that she is 5'7' @ 130# and she show up with a hips and a gut,, she has lied and I will walk out..

I'll answer anyway,, I commented because you claimed I used a poor example..and your put your self in that woman shoes as if I were referring to you,,,
I have no issues with my self esteem ,, thank you very much
thanks for the welcome to the forums old timer.
Cute,,,, Not..... | |

Posted: 2/10/2009 7:58:10 PM | I would NEVER EVER meet someone who is reluctant to post or send along a pic. Just because this one situation turned out ok, 99% of them probably don't.
I met a gal once who said "all my pics were on my laptop that got stolen" *sigh*
We spoke on the phone several times and during that time I asked her to describe herself for me. She said, "I'm a little overweight" *bigger sigh*
The first time I laid eyes on her she stepped out of her vehicle in the parking lot of the restaurant we met at and she blocked out the sun she was so huge. | |

Posted: 2/13/2009 3:03:14 AM | | I don't talk to anyone without a pic. I definitely get suspicious if they are willing to email me a pic to my personal email. I could be wrong but I feel that if you have nothing to hide your pic would be on the site like most other people. | |

Posted: 2/13/2009 3:53:32 AM | I hardley talk to people that don't have a pic. Only about twice I replied and added them to msn and I saw their pic there. They were fine looking.
I prefer to have my picture up on my profile because I don't want to have the other person disappointed when they meet me.
Usually when a chick says I have blonde hair and green eyes the guy assumes that she's a bombshell. So I have my pic there so they can see what they're in for lol.
Personality to me is mostly what attracts me BUT talking to someone on the net and talking to them in the flesh are two very different things! | |

Posted: 2/13/2009 4:57:32 AM | | If he doesn't have a pic.. then I do ask if he would send one to my email.. and if he can't then I don't even pursue.. him.. its only fair that we see the person that we are chatting with..I have my pic posted.. and I am far from perfect.. so I am not judging... but I have also me t with a guy that had a pic.. and when we met.. it looked nothing like him..and so the date didn't last very long..to me thats a lier.. and for those who don't send me a pic..I feel are hiding something.. we all know that a relationship is not only based.. on trust,communication,passion.. but also based on the attraction we have to each ones looks.. | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 7:38:24 AM | Just because they have a picture doesnt mean thats who they are or that they still look that way.
Actually I am meeting someone next weekend who doesnt have a picture but we have alot of things in common. Even if things dont pan out on a romantic note, we can always be friends ... which is alot of times much better in the long run | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 1:26:01 PM | | Call it what you may.. but,,I don'y have any war stories, like the people that post a pic, do! If a guy Needs to see a pic of me to talk, then we don't talk! People have their reasons for not posting a pic, everyones different, who cares? It's truely, what's inside . not outside , that ,makes a human... DUH! | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 1:30:29 PM | | I agree, and most of the men who send me instant messages get ignored since the first thing that ask is if I have a pic to send. My profile states that I will send one if they interest me, and pic collectors who usually live far away from me and have nothing in common with me do not interest me. (I just do not get the thrill of collecting pics...guess they think Angelina Jolie is really on POF)..separates the wheat from the chaf for sure. | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 2:04:42 PM | | First date from POF...no pic! Talked extensively and guy was nice. Went on a date for dinner and a hockey game and guy was nice. However, I felt OLD when I was with him. He was only 5-6 yrs older in numbers but we were decades apart in life. So there was no chemistry, but he was a very nice guy, just not my contemporary. | |

Why I do not talk to people with no pics:
-- it is not fair for them to see me and me not see them
-- if they end up being a creepy stalker I want to know what they look like
-- when we meet people in real life, we see what they look like
-- I am here to find people I am attracted to... if I do not know what they look like then I do not know if I am attracted to them
-- worst case scenario: they do not have pic cause they are married/have gf and they do not want their significant other to see them using dating services
Totally agree with those reasons!!
I never have and never will meet someone without a photo! | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 4:49:29 PM | Been "brave enough to meet someone with no pic"?
Two words..........Hell no.
Has nothing to do with bravery and here's a few reasons why:VVV
-- it is not fair for them to see me and me not see them
-- if they end up being a creepy stalker I want to know what they look like
-- when we meet people in real life, we see what they look like
-- I am here to find people I am attracted to... if I do not know what they look like then I do not know if I am attracted to them
-- worst case scenario: they do not have pic cause they are married/have gf and they do not want their significant other to see them using dating services
Had one guy tell me that he had a "sensitive" job (wouldn't say what) AND a crazy EX-wife and didn't want her to see his pic on a dating site.  | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 5:32:47 PM | I would never even dream of meeting a man with no pic. I’m not going to take my chances unless I can see him.
You’re a brave woman lol Glad to see that everything turned out well for you..By the way
Do you still see him and if not, what happened?
