I have also sent messages to guys without pics. on profile...If I am interested in them I will ask for a addy for MSN or Yahoo..then ask for a pic. I do not have one on my profile..and I am a very attractive women. If a man will not message you because of no pic, they are shallow, simple as that..

people on pof are too cowardly to meet people in person,this is just a bs flirting site for people trying to fool themselves into thinking they would actually meet with a person here at pof

You had a fortunate experience that I believe is rare. There are many reasons why people do not have pictures available. There are many people who look completely different in every photo they take. I think it is a good idea to get as many pictures as you can- at least 10 to evaluate the person's looks fairly. When you meet in person they make look different again. If I had 10 pictures from the woman, I would ask her which picture represents herself the closest. Obviously, different clothing, hairdoos, lighting impact on the picture. I would not be brave enough to meet someone unless I saw a few pictures from them.

my name is oneofakind104. i am stuck somehow and can only write under hangten right now. anyways. the very first thread i wrote was called "yeah, you're an "11" allright" for the ones that know of it you can say it wasn't quite as successfull as your date.lol. it was removed from the testimonials and put in a corner somewhere where it doesn't see much action anymore.(got pretty heated up) it was a story that i wrote poking fun at me for being trusting and lost. however certain individuals seemed to think that i shouldn't have handled it the way that i did. either way...i never trusted again and its all moot anyways cause i found my girl here on pof. she did have a picture.lol. i'll try and find the link in my mail and give it to you to read. cya.

I met only one without a pic, he was a real sweety! We are friends, attraction can only be established in person, a 2D image gives you a clue, but you have to meet in order to find chemistry

One of the best dates I ever had resulted in a relationship that lasted a couple years.. tuckering out only due to the long distances involved.

Internet.

No photo.

But we lucked out. Actually, I was a little nervous **for her** as she invited me, sight unseen, over to her place. I wouldn't advise anyone to do that of either sex. **Especially** if there was no photo, to speak the thousand words about your potential mate -- one -- if it works out right, you'll be swapping bodily fluids with.

[Graphic, but true, eh?]

Having the photo there is your first inkling as to whether this guy or gal is trying to hornswoggle ya, or is on the level. If the photo posted wasn't of them, or is woefully out of date, what **else** might they be hiding.

I figger honesty is a habit, as is dishonesty.

Fair and open disclosure up front saves a lot of time, money and heartbreak down the road.

I say, get the photo, or be very cognizant that you're rolling the dice.

I've met one person on line that had no pic, not on this website but another. When we started talking, we got along very well. everything was going good. we did make plans on meeting, it was after making the plans he showed me his pic. nothing to worry about because he was a very nice looking guy. no matter what i still would have met him, no matter his looks were, because i like who i was talking to. we don't talk anymore though, it didn't work out. but i have talked to other people without pics.

Ill talk to ppl without pics but will not get too flirty with them unless i see a pic but even then,,,some ppl are knobs adn post a pic of their friend or something. Cams are a cool way to see someone. The chatsite i go to is streaming video and sound,,,so you can see and hear them.

20 years ago this past February, I was fixed up with a "blind date". I had no idea of what he looked like and he had no idea of what I looked like. We had talked briefly on the phone and that was it. We met - and that following Easter weekend we were engaged. That following November we were married. Right up until the day he died we were the perfect match of "soulmates".

I think the people who absolutely must have pics to make sure they are only dating "hotties" and do not look into the person underneath the looks can miss out on some wonderful, warm and intelligent people.

I think it's fair, at least since I don't have a pic, to check out other people's PERSONALITIES on their profiles. That's what I look for. I don't like to judge people until I know how they are. I don't feel the need to lie about myself, sh*t if you didn't know me you'd think I was 16 or 17 or so. I just have a kid's look, but I'm probably more mature than a lot of people my age(19). I have written to at least 25-30 people with and w/o pix, just to strike up conversation, and have never recieved a real response. I had a girl said I sound like I have a great personality, but then she won't respond anymore, and I have been mannered. I know I got a decent personality for any lady that's willing to know me. I'm just havin a hard time finding my CPU camera. You guyz and gurlz should be more open to knowing what else is out there in this world, and meeting in public makes sense too.

I'm glad your experience had a good outcome. I've taken a chance more than once and regretted it. Twice, I relied on 20 year old photos, and another time, no photo at all. The thing is, not so much the current physical appearence, but the underlying deception. I'm currently "pen pals" with a couple of women, who have not sent me photos, nor will I pressure them to do so. That's okay with me. If that's the level they want to keep our relationship, I'm all the richer for it.

Just enjoy what life throws your way.

A few years ago I had gone on this phone chat line..just for fun lol...talked to this guy for about two weeks and we finally met, not really knowing exactly what each other looked like...I think it was alot of fun that way. We ended up staying together for three years...so sometimes it's worth it to take risks (not that we're together now or anything lol but I don't regret it)

I don't have my picture on here for certain reasons but I wouldn't expect someone to meet me with out seeing a picture of me first. I wouldn't want to meet anyone with out at least seeing there picture too. I believe there has to be some pysical attraction between two people. You can always send a picture to their personal email address if you are talking, so to me there is no excuse.
