How do you take it when someone asks for MORE pictures, including full body ones?

Maybe tooooo many on here are just toooo full of themselves for their own good...... Or, maybe tooooooo insecure for their own good, or for reasons we do not know or want to discuss here?????

When someone asks for more pictures, you need to ask yourself why?????? If you have seven or eight on here with POF and they show your face clearly, as well as your full body type in multiple ways, then there is no need to send more to another until you are both close enough to desire that.

If you only have a head shot, then to ask is valid in my opinion, since way tooooo many on here will put average, or a few pounds over weight, when they are just plain fat and will not admit it to others or themselves.

What is the harm in seeing the total of a person you might be interested in, and wanting to share more with? I have many pictures to share above what is now on POF, and I strive to keep them current and with enough views for all that care to know, what I look like........

Just my opinion.......

It's just a time saver. I know what I will be attracted to, and regardless of how great their personality is, if I am not physically attracted to them there won't be any intimate relationship. That doesn't mean I'm looking for a supermodel, it just means I have preferences.

I don't really understand the mentality behind being dishonest about your appearance anyway. If you ever meet someone, they are not exactly going to be happy you were dishonest with them about how you look.

My profile pics are head shots for a very simple reason... it weeds out the guys who are just shallowly looking at my body, sizing it up, and either pronouncing me a 'pass' or 'fail'. I have dated one man from a dating site. and have been asked to meet quite a few times. Not one of these men asked for a full body shot. So, were they not as visual as the guys seem to insist that all men are? I hope it had something to do with the fact that I may have captured their interest in more than a Ohh check my boobs and ass out type of way. And no, i wouldnt comply to requests for a full body shot. Im not a display item.. have a little finesse gentlemen.. time enough to see the full body if you decde to meet up. I bet there are more requests from men for full body shots, than there are to men from women.. its not all about the outward packaging. x

I beg to differ with you ........

It is the outside that attracts another initially, and the inside that keeps you coming back for more.

It has been my experience that those that think, say, and do as you just stated, are the ones that have much to hide......mostly extra weight, and want all to just know you for your face and mental parts, and not willing to share all of you until you absolutely have to.

This attitude would be the same as someone saying know me for what I show you, but not that I smoke, or drink to much, do drugs, have some STD's, or am on my tenth marriage.

It is the total person, total picture, total being that we seek to know, and if you hide any part of that from the start.....then you are not being truthful or fair.

Just my opinion.......

eh, honestly I've seen a number of photos on here where women didn't look overweight at all just from their face shot, but turn out to be pretty big. Like it or not, that can influence whether or not someone would be interested.

Full body shots are fine if you are comfortable with the person you are talking too. I know there are many, many explanations for and against, as we're on page four, but do it if you want to. Exchanging pics is one reason you meet in person. Then, if you click, great, if not, hopefully you meet a nice person in the process.

Ok, so i take it from a lot of the the opinions from guys on this site that they want a full body shot to make sure that the lady they're interested in isnt too fat. Oh God forbid that a woman should be overweight!! What a terrible crime to mislead some poor man about how much she ways!! We all know that some men and women mislead others about their appearance.. but the fact is even full body pictures can be misleading.. they may be shots taken whrn a person has been a lot slimmer, or whatever.. and anyone is susceptible to being mislead.. As I said before, none of the men who asked me to meet ever asked for body shots.. I think that showed a little class, rather than demanding to know straightaway what my vital statistics were.. its all very shallow, and to C deacon, personally, before i meet up with anyone.. I allow them to see and chat to me on cam before we meet, to let them see that I am the way I am.. so Im not one of the dishonest ones.. I make the choice to reveal myself. (fully clothed of course..) :) I let the person see me. full body, without them having to be so crass as to ask me straightaway. You may be putting off some very private or shyer individuals by asking for shots.. and that would be a shame.
