| Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 8/11/2008 10:09:23 AM | Have I been brave enough? Heck yeah - I was a foolish brave woman 
NEVER AGAIN!
I have zero issues with not having a photo on your profile - everybody has a reason that to them is a GOOD reason. But I do request that a photo be sent along right quick if we are to remain in contact. That's my right, and nobody else's business.
I did NOT enjoy meeting up with my ex-husband's drunken buddy - he thought it was a wonderful joke bleeeaagh. | |

Posted: 8/11/2008 10:33:25 AM | It sounds like you rolled the dice and it happend to work out - just a quick reality check here...
Would you go to a POF singles event, bar, club, etc. wearing frumpy clothes, a name tag, and a bag over your head – trying to introduce yourself to people? No, of course not!
POF profiles refusing to give out pics are the online equivalent. .
Just my two cents. | |

Posted: 8/17/2008 9:36:35 PM | Sometimes it does work out. Not seeing a pic beforehand.
Of course I was curious, not having any idea what he looked liked prior, but I was so intrigued by what his emails were saying to me, and I understood his rationalization for not having a pic on his profile. He ran his own business and didnt want customers and neighbors to see him online. He did offer to email a pic of him, I declined.
We had talked online, daily for a month, something like 50 emails. 50???? OH MY GOD!!! But I learned his mind, and he learned mine. He learned my secrets, my faults, a vice/versus. First date after one month of emails, (yes he waited that long, till I was comfortable) I pulled into the parking lot, saw a man sitting in a car, 200 pounds too heavy, was that him? NO. Car tags were from a different county and state. So, I walk to the door of the restaurant, then out he comes, smiling, and says "you must be S****". The waitor came to our table 4 times to take our order, cause we were so busy talking, we couldnt look at the menus. During our month of conversation, which most people abhor, we really learned about what we had in common, and we couldnt stop talking. Now, a month later, we're still talking up a storm. In fact, I attended his family reunion this afternoon. Met his children, and parents.
And before this, I had demanded a pic before meeting anyone, and getting disappointed with each meet, even though I saw the pic.
No, if its right in your heart, you dont need a pic, just an openmind. | |

Posted: 8/22/2008 7:44:57 PM | what i think of someone without a picture is:
a. someone who is still dating someonelse and is afraid their partner will see it (seen this one most of the time)
b. Lack of self confidence
c. a really, really, really, REALLY, shy person
d. An absolute Brilliant person that looks like a super-model and is the equivelent of your knight on a riding hose
that is all.... | |

Posted: 8/23/2008 11:48:23 AM | "No picture, don't even look at profile, or answer mail...No way....Why would someone not post a picture? hiding something, married, stalker, super fat. Very easy to post photos.
No excuse ."
All guys should do what this guy does...don't even think about messaging women without a picture...there are no good looking women on here without pictures...they are all stupid, fat and ugly if they don't have a picture.
Out the goodness of my heart so these women don't feel lonely here, I'll message them for you guys. | |

Posted: 8/23/2008 12:01:13 PM | Sometimes I look at profile without pic, even talk to a few. I ask for a pic and they end up not my type. It doesn't matter If I have a pic or not, I still really don't get emails. This online dating it starting to cause me low self-esteem.
From another site, one guy emailed me without a pic. So I ask for one. I saw his pic and thought what the hell, so I met him, man was he handsome, pic did him no justice at all. HE said the same for me, we still talk but have had bad luck in meeting again, because of the weather here in Florida. So he ask me to meet him Friday before he left for the weekend. I melted when I saw him again. We'll see if we will meet again. Says he's very interested but we'll see. | |

Posted: 8/23/2008 5:06:35 PM | | I would think that they may be trying to hide something. Also, what's so hard about posting your picture? Really. Is it that hard? So maybe some aren't so bright...ask someone to help you post a pic then. Ppl who don't post a pic, appear shady to me. Then again, you never know if the pics on there are really even the person they claim to be. Basically, it's a risk, but not one I'd want to take. Let's face it...some ppl seem interesting that aren't so local and someone could lie about everything. It could boil down to a total waste of time, then again so could one's w/pics. I guess I'd rather see something then nothing...and hope for the best!! No pic, no reply. | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 9:02:31 AM | | I've never met anyone without 1st seeing a picture. I have though, actually met 2 women who purposely posted bad pictures of themselves in order to weed out the shallow, internet wolves. They were both VERY beautiful in person. I was incredibly surprised and impressed with their logic. I ended up dating one of them for about 6 months, until the "ugly" inside surfaced... | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 9:39:16 AM | I've met two men off here at different times who had no pic.
Neither of them were weird in any way. Neither was a Prince Charming either, but both better looking than some of the pics I see on here and nice people. One I only saw once, the other I had three dates with.
Their emails were interesting enough that I wanted to carry on chatting with them and meet them - don't get that many interesting emails that I'd pass them up without answering at least once. They had their own reasons why they didn't want to put pics up and both understood that the number of people who would talk to them would be limited, and even less people would meet them.
One supplied a pic after we'd emailed a few times, the other didn't.
There must be quite a few people on here who DO meet without pics because both of them had a few dates and one met his LTR on here. One is still here and we still chat occasionally (hope he doesn't mind the Prince Charming comment if he sees it!).
Sometimes it's worth taking a risk in life. Not everybody is hiding something. And considering the number of people with pics who are married or fake or just not nice people it's not really that much of a risk. | |

Posted: 8/27/2008 10:08:54 PM | | The only time I would contact someone without a pic is because of their profession. For example if she was a teacher, or a police officer, I could understand why they wouldn't want their picture online. I even contacted one girl because she was a twin; she was respecting the right to her sister. I will not comment on their looks; because, I was going off of their profile and how they described themselves and I was comfortable with that.... The worst that can happen is you meet someone new in your life. | |

Posted: 8/30/2008 10:23:37 PM | I can speak from experience because I posted my picture and then took it off when I met my girlfriend (we didn't meet on Plenty...)
When I had my picture up, many women were interested in talking to me but they weren't my type. I wasn't attracting the right women for my own needs.
After I met my girlfriend, I took my pictures off because I wanted to post on the forums and was worried about my privacy. I still left the door open for friendship but I don't think women on Plenty are looking for that....
A lot of people don't read the profiles. Maybe they can't read. It just shows you how people make important relationship decisions based on pictures.
Taking my picture off of Plenty was a real good idea. I don't have to worry about silly women contacting me because they are too busy chasing after a picture that may or may not be recent or even real. Women don't contact me, but I have a girlfriend and the forums are really all you need for Plenty anyway. | |

The question is, is it safe? People who are cops, work for the DA's office in the crimial prosecution division, work with domestic violence victims, or have a nutty person in their past may not be in a real hurry to have people be able to find them quite that easily. Does not mean they never want to date! | |

Posted: 8/31/2008 7:42:01 AM | | I would reply to an email, or if the profile was interesting, but would NOT meet someone without having seen their photo, preferably a head shot and a body shot. As pointed out above, there are many valid reasons for not wanting your photo online. | |

Posted: 8/31/2008 7:58:10 AM | I have intentionally not posted a pic with my profile because I know that I would be receving responses based soley on my looks. I am beautiful...inside and out...and anybody that responds to my profile will have to be drawn to my inward beauty first...not the package that I come wrapped in!
I am glad that your guy was hot and that it ended up being a positive connection : )
I wish you the best of luck...
