Posted: 6/29/2009 10:56:43 PM | I have been on 2 bad dates from 2 diff people.
1 had a pic, but when I met him he looked nothing like his pic accept a little of his facial features-- I believe the pic might have been of his eldest son lol and he came dressed in cut of jean shorts that were so short the pockets were hanging out, with red striped tube socks (I didn't realize they made tube socks still)
2 the second guy was a great guy-- a few dates with him, i just could not get past his belly. I know I have no room to talk here because I am not a small person... but my belly don't hang to my knees either lol
Reguardless of bad dates, I have met some great people on here and have made some wonderful friends | |

Posted: 6/30/2009 9:43:02 AM | | yes, i have met a person on POF with no picture. In fact the reason we met was b/c they didnt have a picture... I Have a camera we met to take a decent picture and then e mailed to them. Every man needs a decent picture of himself showing a pretty smile, eyes,hair combed and shirt ON! Yeah the self taken in the mirror shots and the web cam shots will work in a pinch but do they really emulate who you are? woman are visual creatures too. | |

Posted: 6/30/2009 12:32:23 PM | | I did not post my pic when I first joined because I couldn't find one that said "me"--then I just didn't bother. I realized that I wanted to be regarded for myself rather than for how I looked (faulty philosophy--perhaps I'm just timid) But, alot of guys made the effort anyway--and I found someone really special. I appreciated his taking the chance--and I would do the same for guys without a pic. Running blind can work out... | |

Posted: 6/30/2009 3:33:12 PM | I once met someone from here who had no picture. We spoke on the phone before we decided to meet, and she described herself so I had a general idea of what she'd look like, plus I added a few grains of salt.
Long story short, she turned out hot. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 8:14:30 PM | This I don't get. Losing the pic just makes it that much harder to deal with internet dating.
Look...if the date is Gandhi and Mother Teresa, agape dating agape, then physical attraction doesn't matter.
However, most of the rest of us are not such high beings. Eros gets things started.
I have to see the eyes.
I find it hard to even chat with a pictureless someone. The picture helps me to get some orientation, assures me that I'm not talking to some Nigerian scammer.
I'd be willing to bet that most of the no pic people are hiding something. | |

It is the entire opposite for me. With a picture, I would get little to no replies, and
those that did reply would ask instantly "where is your pic?".
Without, I get triple replies.
I am on here merely for Talk/Email, so I do not see why a picture is relevant if i am never intending to meet them. Besides, if we are simply chatting why stress so much over what I look like? Heeee | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 12:18:49 PM | | I had my pic on my profile for a short period of time, and either got rude comments from men ( my definition of ugly is different from what they perceive as ugly), men who said I was hot and wanted to hook up for sex, men who said I looked just like their ex wife who was a witch from hell, or men who said I was cute but we either did not match as far as what we were looking for or they lived on another continent or thousands of miles away from me. I get few responses with or without a pic, and if there is mutual interest exchanging pics will happen. | |

Posted: 7/13/2009 7:32:49 PM | Hi,
I haven't posted my pic and won't. I've been told I'm quite good looking, but is that who I am? We all know physical attributes can be destroyed in a heartbeat. What matters is the soul. I'd like to venture that there are many very good looking people who've been burned by superifical partners and have decided to forego the pic. Take a chance, people - you might be surprised! | |

Posted: 7/17/2009 2:57:55 PM | I have had 17 men from POF meet me without a pic. I have met 23 since April of this year. I began the early summer with a goal to meet 30 men. I really don't care anymore but it was a good experinece. I am now ready to actually date and have a real relationship. I thought I had not been interacting for so long with men around my age (in college) it would be good to put myself out there.
Needless to say no one ran away from me. Out of all of them there are only 3 I would go out with again. | |

Posted: 7/17/2009 3:53:47 PM | Fat girl shots are equivalent to the guys that lie about not being married.
It's a common trick used to deceive the opposite gender. I'm not sure what's "immature" about me pointing that out.
Try using your brain before using your fingers next time you type nonsense to me. | |

Posted: 7/17/2009 6:19:37 PM | summer of searching on 7/17/2009 : I have had 17 men from POF meet me without a pic. I have met 23 since April of this year. I began the early summer with a goal to meet 30 men. Out of all of them there are only 3 I would go out with again.
You have no picture and you dated 17 men. None of them "ran away" however none of them are still around. You would only go out with 3 of them again but how many were interested in a second date with YOU?
Thats what I thought | |

Posted: 7/17/2009 6:36:08 PM | | Calling it a fat girl shot is immature to me, don't you think we know we are fat and if a man cannot read a profile when the woman says she is fat then that is his problem, and if she is not honest and says she is average than that is her problem. I send a full body shot to men if there is mutual interest, and they still do not get that I am who I say I am and think I sent a pic of someone else at least half the time. ( they need to try to come up with a plan to help them remember what pic goes with each profile), and realize that there are some larger women online and we are not going to send them someone else's picture. | |

Posted: 7/18/2009 6:51:13 AM | ^^^^ I always thought that would be crazy....to post someone else's photo if you actually plan to meet people. However, it must happen quite often because it's usually one of the first things a man will comment on and seems genuinely shocked that I actually look like my photos.
I have never had anyone show up sight unseen that I was repulsed by, but have had several with photos that were either very old or not even them. The main reason why I don't require them. | |

Posted: 7/18/2009 9:11:35 AM | I don't call them dates they are just meet and greets. Each one was told this upfront. One, my fav, called me everyday and tried to go out with me on an actual date but I was not ready. I did not want any to turn into dates at this time. I was just meeting people to meet people. This was stated up front!! I am not fat and ugly at all. In fact I am tired of guys just likeing me for my bod and not wanting to take the time to get to know me.
I have found most of the guys in my area are only looking for sex on this site. | |
