Posted: 4/26/2009 10:55:30 PM | | I disagree with the "wanna get laid, show yer abs" because that is one of my absolute turn-offs. I never contact a man with shirtless pics because it makes me feel like they're shallow and full of themselves ( I may be wrong, but that's how I feel). | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 7:44:48 AM | I met one guy on plenty of fish without seeing his picture. I had never even talked to him. I knew I was going to love him and when waiting his arrival, I had a special feeling in my heart for him. He moved in with me and my family 1 week after his arrival OK, he was not a man, he is my nephew who is now grown up and on plenty of fish.
why are you trying to be funny when there are people here that are serious about what is going on in the real world. | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 8:03:21 PM | | I say that anyone not showing a photo because they say its because of work. Sorry that doesn't fly. SINGLE men are allowed and expected to date. So obviously hes hiding something. Also if you had your photo up he picked you for not only your text but your photo also. Fair is fair. | |

That to me increases the chances of it not going well and being kidnapped....maybe I'm being dramatic but especially in my profession saftey is key....usually if they have alot of photos, call you, even send a photo of whatever you want them doing....its ok to meet up knowing that IS the person that should be there..... | |

Posted: 5/13/2009 9:02:28 PM | | Actually I have met a couple of guys I met without photos from a matchmaker. She described them somewhat. Both of them were pleasantly attractive and nice. Of course this office does a background check prior to your meeting them. I'm still seeing one of them. | |

Posted: 5/13/2009 9:24:48 PM | I have a personal policy around "picless" people.
If you don't have a recent picture to share and being that it is 2009, I'm not interested.
Yes, they might be hot. Yes, I look deeper than looks.
However, I have no interest in those who are:
A) ashamed to be here so they hide their faces yet enjoy the benefits of the service
B) are likely cheating and their photo would incriminate them further than their behaviour
C) very unattractive and want to manipulate me into giving them a chance based on personality alone
I have photos to share...I expect the same. I wouldn't date a faceless man and I wouldn't approach anyone in a room without face, why should this be an exception when webcams are 20 bucks and digital cameras are as common as socks. | |

Oh well can't win em all | |

Posted: 5/28/2009 11:42:16 PM | Been there, done that, twice. The first time and the last time. On the phone she claimed she was an 8. And after meeting I could see she was absolutely right except I was spelling it "eight".....
and she was spelling it "ate"
or at least that is the impression I got.  | |

Posted: 6/1/2009 3:17:32 PM | Three times now - all were okay.
Certainly the dates were no worse (and sometimes much better) than dates I've had with people who had pics up, or blind dates set up by people supposed to be my friends 
Twice pics were sent before the date, once I hadn't seen a pic at all and he was quite hunky. I don't think any of them were married, one I still keep in touch with, although we never dated again. It never bothered me that I had pics up and they didn't.
I'm always careful about safety whether I meet someone with pics or not; meet in a public place with lots of people around, forward their details to a friend, etc. | |

Posted: 6/1/2009 3:58:58 PM | | How do people not have pics anymore? They are too easy to get. Digital cameras are everywhere on everything. You can get a webcam for $20. I don't trust people that don't have pictures. They are either hiding something, or are incredibly, incredibly poor or lazy. | |

Posted: 6/1/2009 4:24:44 PM | Yay ! Sounds like your good karma in having some faith in your own instincts , rewarded you by offering up a good man ! I hope it turns out to be just what you're both hoping for !
Yes- I've met a few folks without a photo . While it's sometimes helpful to have a photo to gaze at - so often the photos are not accurate , or flattering anyway , for one reason or another . If I really like what someone has written , I don't place great weight on whatever photo may be there , or not .
I've been surprised in both directions . Met some with photos who ended up looking worse, or far better than they did in their pictures . And then met some with no photos - and the results were more or less the same - only with an additional level of surprise . But then I love surprises ! And like you, I figured if we hit it off cerebrally early on , at the very least we'll have a great time talking .
Then there's an as yet unmentioned aspect too . Some really fine looking folks I had no chemistry with , while others who might not turn alot of heads , absolutely had "IT" . That undefinable something that makes me wanna move in close !
I think it's highly likely that alot of folks miss meeting the very one that would do it for them , because they ONLY look for those with photos . But then again - maybe they're meeting the ones they deserve ... | |

Posted: 6/2/2009 12:09:41 AM | | I've met a number of women without photos and quite honestly, I'd RATHER meet women without photos. So far, the ones I've met have been well above average in all respects without the attitude and they almost always reply. I've gotten to where I prefer contacting women with no photos, especially since the majority of the women I've met woth photos don't come close to living up to their photos. | |

Posted: 6/2/2009 2:39:04 AM | Like others have posted above, I have met people who had pictures, and I've met people who had no picture. And when someone has no picture, then it means that I can't be disappointed by their appearance. We are all just people, and it's not as if the food I eat will taste better if she's hot. Messaging and meeting people is all about building your social skill and growing as a person. And if I made a strict rule that said I would only meet with people who were attractive enough to make me feel like some sort of "winner", then I would spend a lot of time tapping on my keyboard in the dark. The exact opposite of winning, if you ask me.
And considering the massive disappointment that some people feel when an actual person doesn't meet the expectations set by their picture, I think it's better to minimize the importance of pictures.
I'm a high school teacher. I've seen what happens when the students find out that a teacher has a profile on a dating website. It's always ugly and hurtful, and it never ends. I'm not so jaded that I think that someone without a picture is trying to trick me, and I'm not so vain as to think that someone without a picture is automatically beneath me.
We are all just people, living life. And when the right person for me comes along, I want to be as prepared as possible. The last thing I'd want is to forego a chance to work on my shortcomings because I don't know if the person I'm going to meet might be too fat or too ugly. | |

Posted: 6/2/2009 2:55:31 AM | a couple of no pic dates at first when i started doing internet dating.
-big mistake!
whether they are butt ugly, psycho, afraid or too stupid to figure how to post a pic of themself...
-there's usually a real good reason they're not attaching a pic to their profile... and thats a great reason to avoid them. | |

Posted: 6/2/2009 6:02:39 AM | For all of those that say they'd never meet anyone without a picture... how do you know the person in the picture is really who you will be meeting, how do you know they are not married or hiding something.. etc, etc.
With a picture you still can't be sure until you meet and get to know the person. I really think paranoia runs a bit rampant here. | |

Posted: 6/2/2009 7:12:20 AM | It is just suspision on my part.
I have met quite a few that had really old pics up, but never a fake one.
It is true a picture won't mean they aren't married or hiding something.
Which is more likely? I say no pic, no communication.
There is rampant everything, so whats wrong with a little paranoia? | |

Posted: 6/2/2009 8:02:40 AM | I have not it seems too risky to me because here's my thoughts :
the person knows what I look like but I do not know what they look like so when I arrive they will pic me out of a crowd I will be going in blind not a good scenario in my mind.
Its like having someone watch you with night glasses.
Why add extra nervous tension to the night.
Besides it's about disclosure if you truly are who you say you are and you truly want to meet someone for a possible public relationship than why hide?????????????
Before the meet I would expect someone to reveal themselves if not this is way too many GAMES for me. | |
