Posted: 4/13/2007 4:25:38 AM | I would like someone who runs the site to give a valid explanation.
If there are people who only want to chat or only want to use forums and therefore don't need pictures maybe there should be subsections or new sites.
There are Plenty of Fish in the sea - is a saying that refers to the perception that there are plenty of people out there to mate with/date with/have relationships with.
Maybe another site could be started called Plenty of Friends - for people who only want to chat or join in forums.
I don't understand the opinion that it is shallow to want to be attracted to someone before dating them. It makes no sense whatsoever. | |

Posted: 4/13/2007 4:42:21 AM | ^^^ searches should have checkboxes ( similar to the personality search ) , allowing you to pick the critera you want . The advanced search is ok, but rather limited , in that you can select only one option from each category.

If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen, and quit your ****ing!
You always have a choice whether to join or stay.
And yet another example of someone who disagrees with the invited opinion of another and rather than simply disagree, tells them to leave if they are upset with the new status quo. | |

And by your statement your doing what differently?
The kitchen statement was not directed at the poster I was replying to directly, but anyone who doesn't like the rules that may or may not be implemented.
Tell me this? Would you continue to shop at a store where they didn't supply what you thought they should? Or would you simply go to another store that supplied what you were looking for?
Does everyone eat at the same restaurant? Of course not!
So if some of the rules here don't meet everyones expectations, then what's stopping any of them from simply looking elsewhere? I think it may have something to do with the fact that it is free.
Bottom line still is the FACT that I agree that the main profile picture should be headshots, so that when the option comes to search for profiles with pictures only, that is exactly what you get. Instead of perusing countless profiles with absolutely nothing on them but print. Do you buy a car because the add says it's great, or do you want to have a look at it first?
It's also a proven fact that profiles with pictures get more and better results. | |

Profile Writing Tips
http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts1262627.aspx
Pictures Your main pic should be a clear head shot, hopefully with you LOOKING AT the camera. Leave off the caps and hats and sunglasses, pretty please!! I’m begging you, people want to see your face. A picture with sunglasses and a hat will get your profile clicked off, trust me. As far as other pics, a full length or some type of body shot is good. Just an idea of what you look like in person besides just your face. If you put in group shots, do be sure that it’s obvious who you are. People will not spend the time to figure it out if it’s not obvious. Do realize that: Upload guidelines are enforced : UPLOADING NUDITY WILL GET YOUR ACCOUNT DELETED Cartoons, celebrity and Joke pictures are not allowed. ALL pictures MUST contain you in it with a visible head shot at minimum So put some thought into your pics, okay? One last thing, if the pic is NOT flattering don’t use it! Even if it’s all you have handy, no pic is better than a bad one. This is a PINNED POST in Profile reviews. Note: No pic is better than a bad one. JACLM.  | |

Posted: 4/13/2007 9:25:47 AM | By my statement, I'm pointing out that the topic has to do with the opinions of "all" the users on this site....not just yours. And someone having a different opinion does not mean they should leave. Opinions were invited.
Would you continue to shop at a store where they didn't supply what you thought they should? Or would you simply go to another store that supplied what you were looking for?
Actually, I'd put in a request (and have many, many times) that the store begin carrying the particular item I'm looking for. Most businesses find it reasonable to meet as many of their customers needs as possible, not just the majority of their customers. So, your example is a great analogy for just the topic at hand. And no, I wouldn't run off screaming into the night and refuse to shop at the store again, or expect the other customers to tell me to leave if I don't like it, if the store decided not to stock Arugula. I'd continue frequenting the store, but be disappointed that they opted not to stock what I wished. I'd also look in amazement at anyone who told me to "leave if you don't like it."
Do you buy a car because the add says it's great, or do you want to have a look at it first?
LOL, another good one. Very few, if any, of the replies on here (did you read them all? I did) argue that the new "picture required" filter is a bad one, or that someone with a picture in their profile (be it a set of feet or an artistic expression) should be required to have a head shot. The issue for most who are not in agreement with pics being deleted is that our primary can't be one of those things, AND that many of the secondary photos were also deleted.
So using your car analogy, no I would not buy a car based on an ad that says it's great. Neither would I buy one without opening the door and checking out what else is available. Hint: Open up the profile and look at other pics and read profile. I'd also take the car for a test drive before buying it. But generally, I don't look at a profile and decide to call the owner up for a test drive, even if the urge strikes me. At least, I haven't done so yet. | |

Well the "bug" has been there since just after the new feature went into affect.
Well yes, if it was an error in the original implementation then it *would* show up after said implementation was, in fact, implemented. That's how software works.
All I'm sayin' is, why don't people just ask admin "hey, how come I can't report Intimate Encounters women?" instead of launching into a rant on double standards at the drop of a hat. | |

Don't see how that can be since I get better results (for what I'm looking for) without a picture. I will agree that a person gets more responses with a pic if that is what you are hoping for. | |

Actually, I know for a fact that the Moderator's on the site know about it because I reported an Intimate Encounter profile myself and was told that it was forwarded to Admin.
My reply was redundant of course because they were already fully aware of the glitch at that point. I don't think admin did all this work recently to leave it looking like a porn site
So I think whenever the code can be fixed it will be.

^ So here is probably the main reason we need to have head shots, and its ruined it for the good people that are actually showing who they really are.
So how does requiring a head shot, potentially of your neighbor or off the web, bearing no resemblence to you, solve that? Must be missing something here. | |

Posted: 4/13/2007 12:29:57 PM | oh sorry there, what I meant is that people that are doing an activity of what they like, where they might be near a beach, riding a moter cycle, fishing, fishing on a boat, etc, people showing off their favorite activities, whereby a head shot wont be as noticeable. where the picture is to small to really tell what they look like. Even though most people have a head shot, the other pics of them doing there thing resembles their face. My one head shot, I am in make up, its a close up, just with my play make up. That pic gets deleted. some women have so much make up on, and really look good with it, and with out it, yikes!!!!!!! The one pic of me in my play make up, you would think this guy is knows how to have fun.
So a real close up of your face, must now be a mandate apparently, according to POF rules, and no make up. | |

So a real close up of your face, must now be a mandate apparently, according to POF rules, and no make up.
My personal opinion is that at some point or another there will be a face to face contact with a potential mate on the site.
I fully endorse the headshot photo for the following reasons:
1) A copy of the photo can be left with friends or family or even at home in the event that something happens to you. Remember most times you are meeting a person from the Internet the first time alone. I always did this if I was meeting someone from online as part of my own safety plan. I always made arrangements to call a friend by a certain time as well.
2) A photograph will also endorse the fact that who you are meeting is the one in the photograph when you meet. Otherwise they have lied to you or deceived you and should be reported.
In the interest of Internet safety. There are perhaps numerous other reasons that one can come up with that support the headshot photos and other posters have such.
Requiring a headshot is still no guarantee of complete safety in Online Dating but is a step in right direction. We all take risks when we meet new people both online and in public.

Posted: 4/13/2007 1:02:17 PM | I think all this new technology, our new modern society ... the internet, photos, grocery stores, jobs, cell phones, and the whole monetary system (and associated taxes and fees) ... should be bannished and things should be the way they were long ago ...
Dates were easier ... need a date? need a mate? ... Club them, drag them back into our cave (applied for men, women, and Woolly Mammoths too) ... We didn't need no stinking internet ... We had clubs!
"So easy ... A Caveman could do it!" (Imagine cave-man photo here, cuz it too would get deleted)

Posted: 4/13/2007 2:53:00 PM | After reading the comments that "bcvalleyboy" mentioned regarding an incident that accured here with the lady and here friend and what happened to her friend, you obviously don't wish that to happen to anyone, I agree with others in putting up a head/face picture of oneself. People are on here simply looking for a mate and they should not be worrying and going through stuff like this. There are people on here that are truly genuine and I beleive it is unfair to them when they are truly hoping to find someone and they go through stuff like this.
I support having a headshot for exactly that reason as was mentioned above regarding that horrible incident, I think people should be atleast able to see the REAL you and not have to worry about getting themselves into dangerous situations.
This is a good idea and I hope we can have everyone put up a head/face picture. | |

Let's get the numbers straight - if there are 2.5 million people on POF and a third of them (if the polls are indicative of the general populace) than approximatly 850,000 people would like the option of having other pics than head shots, to promote their profiles.
C'mon, it's all about promoting love in the world, however it's done.

I have a picture and it is displayed IN my Profile if you cared to look. But since I am not actively seeking male companionship there is no need to openly display it in the Forums.
And YES, it is a headshot like we are all talking about on this thread
If others display their photos openly in the Forums it is their choice.

plus I think some of the pictuers with body parts hanging out should be deleted ITA CC
I have seen so many womans asses along w/ breast or wearing a thong w/ their hands
in their pants on the top 500 most popular!
I also think u need at least 4 diff poses of urself not that it still proves its you, but may help....!
Received an email 2day warning... about a woman who was brutally beaten and raped meeting someone from this site...!
And was reported to the admin. and that they let the profile s still on here!
Which the administration could track w/
ISP'S if they own the PC and not the Library's ... i was told the Law is looking in2 this serious matter..! | |
