But if someone is looking for longterm, or dating. They should have a pic. But for me, I don't consider my self a shallow person, but for dating or longterm, at least to start, I need to be physically attracted to that person before I would consider dateing them. I have met people that didn't have a pic, wasn't what I expected. With the technology these days, everybody is able to find a way to post a pic if they desire.

Posted: 7/12/2007 1:48:47 AM | | Gotta agree with WHITELIGHT's post to an extent...if there is a will, there will be a way...but some ebb away from that for fear that some will like their appearance too much (and I'm meaning not the shallow, but the truthful, and fearful), others due to NOT wanting their pic on in a city that they grew up in (and many recognize) and some since they will like the looks, and not care about who they really are...We are all different and all of of our expectations are so different, so you have to just go by your gut...and what YOU feel comfy with. Maybe you want them to wait to see you, get to know your personality first...as long as you don't lie about it. | |

This seems to be a big problem. I don't know why people have to defend themselves regarding physical attraction. It isn't shallow. It's just as important as everything else that you find attractive about a person. | |

Posted: 7/12/2007 8:00:22 PM | | sorry, didn't mean to sound defensive, but I have chatted with people with no pic, then you ask them for a pic and they get all defensive, it's like You want them to rob a bank. | |

They say that if you put up a photo, you are more likely to get responses to your add, but, I have found.....that when I had NO photo up, I got 10 times more responses than when I put my photo up. The minute I put my picture up, the responses stopped.
Do you feel it is better to put up a photo or to leave your photo off of your profile?
Just playing around with the quote thing never tried it. No matter what i think you should have your pic to see what you look like. If you stopped getting messages with your pic maybe you should try and send messages to who you like. Or maybe your just ugly jk haha | |

Posted: 2/11/2008 1:37:40 PM | I totally agree with the quote "We are Visual Creatures" and as such I personally dont look at profiles without pictures, there are literally hundreds and possibly thousands of profiles we may be interested in, but unless there is something that reaches out and grabs ya, it will likely never be seen.
And just one question for you to think about...
When you go "Fishin" do you bait the hook with something to attract the fishes attention, or just drop a piece of string in the water and wait for the fish to jump in the boat?
Wanted to ask, why do some post sunsets, babies, their chldren or grandchildren, dogs and other pets what is up with that? Humor, like I want to date a dog????
If you have ever met a Dog owner such as myself, you may find that persons dog is a huge part of their life! I personally like to see a persons dog in their profile, it gives me one more thing to talk to them about which I am very passionate about!
I do find it dishonest when one posts a picture and it is not them...once again what is that about??? Poor self confidence? Putting to much in the look? Trying to impress me before we meet??? Got to tell you when I meet a man it goes way beyond the physical. It is a presence, that good feeling. Being able to tell if he is for real and not hiding behind some photo.
I cant imagine what a person can get out of doing this if they ever have any plans on meeting the person? Unless they have already paid for all the plastic surgery and thats what they are going to look like when its done? | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 1:01:18 PM | | OK I want to add I am trying the photo on here. The responses are not all that great. I plan to be on here for six more weeks then time to start a different strategy or leave this all together. Interestintly I have had better results on other paying sites. Would like to hear your comments and experience on here. | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 7:21:36 PM | I've been on here for almost two years now. I'm still here, and thats not saying this site sucks. I did try a pay site...for a month. IT DID SUCK! Little in the way of responses, and if you wanted to contact someone, they had to be a member too. I found some would not answer my messages, because they don't get the message until the next day.
Now, regarding pics, I prefer to see them. I am NOT shallow, but I do know that my taste is my own, and seeing a person will tell me if there may be an attraction or not. Thats being honest! EVERYONE needs to feel a physical attraction. Be it the eyes, smile, hair, nose, lips, laugh, or the way they may pick their nose. There is always something that catches the eye, and attracts one enough to 'go for it'. | |

Posted: 4/5/2008 12:59:38 PM | I don't even hang here much anymore & not even looking, But if your not going to post a pic it seems too me your not really giving the site a chance and we all like to see each other in some form.
I think It's a self esteem issue right off the bat. next.

Posted: 6/14/2008 10:42:20 AM | the only thing that EVER attracts me to look at a profile is the smiling face and eyes.

Let me see if I am understanding this correctly. If I had a picture up, you could tell people, "Oh, I met him on Plenty of Fish," but without a picture you are somehow confused as to where you are?
I've gotta say... that is some pretty funny sh*t!
But I'm not hiding anything. I'm just one of those people who doesn't do what people tell him to do. You think I owe you a picture? I say, "F*ck that!" I make my decisions, you don't make them for me. It's nothing personal, that's just how I roll. | |
