Posted: 7/31/2005 3:24:46 PM | It works both ways...I've had good looking guys with many pics get in touch with profiles that say absolutely nothing and that send an email saying "hey how are you, add me on to MSN" without even trying to start a conversation. Some people think that because they look good they don't even have to try. I guess it works for some...!?!?
On the flip side if you have a good profile and are serious about meeting someone put some clear pictures up and quit your whining already. You can't change people so change yourself. | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 1:22:14 PM | | Rick, some people are so insecure witrh themselves that they can't bear the thought of being seen with anyone less than a god or goddess. Those are the people who never know the true meaning of beauty and who miss out on some of life's neatest people. Don't hate them; pity them. Stand your ground. There are still those of us who believe in the beauty of the heart and soul. | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 1:38:11 PM | | i totally agree rick its not right just because people dont have a pic posted doesnt mean they arent attractive some people dont have a scanner to put one up.i mean i admit it is nice to see a pic but sometimes people dont wanna talk to me cause i dont have one i think it is wrong and i know they will regret it later. | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 1:54:30 PM | ^^ Gimme a break, KINKOS has a scanner and so do most fax/print shops and every neighbourhood has one.For less tha $5 you can have your pics scanned and put on a disc to upload in the privacy of your own home.
And what is this obsession with thinking people want models goddesses or an Adonis? why take it to THAT extreme just because someone wants to see what you look like? people just want to see what someone looks like to see if they find them appealing to look at, it's always been like that. It's what initially attracted our ancestors to each other, physical attraction. That combined with the spiritual is what creates falling in love. So why think that it would be any different this day in time?????
If you don't want to post a pic when online dating then think of this: imagine we are all at a party full of single people and all of a sudden someone says "Jack couldn't make it, he is on the phone. Who wants to talk to him and get to know him on the phone?" Stupid? yeah so is going online and not at least having a couple pictures on hand. sorry but seriously quit whining people! attraction here is no different then out there | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 2:02:39 PM | actually true beauty is holistic NOT deconstructed.
to all the people that say it's only what's on the inside that counts I ask you why are you single? I'm sure there must be tons and tons of people out there who appeal to you solely for what's on the inside, why aren't you with them and in love?
c'mon! | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 2:08:05 PM | | because they go for the skinny,dippy ones! some how I just can't act that way! | |
|
| What the F---!
Posted: 8/1/2005 2:11:13 PM | Let me see if I got this straight, u mean to tell me EVERY single guy out there that you don't find physically that attractive but you do mentally, goes for skinny dippy women? somehow I'm sorry but that statement makes me laugh! it's simply false!
and I think everyone is guilty in one form or another of having somewhat of a preference for what they find physically appealing. EVEN those who say "beauty is on the inside" I understand that some people "prefer" certain "stereo typical ideals" of beauty imposed by marketing and to them you just say, "ok I don't fit the bill cest la vie..." but there is ALWAYS someone who's idea of beauty you will fit in to. by not putting a picture up you could be the very person preventing your ownself from actually letting that person who does find you appealing, spot you. and if it isn't on POF then maybe it wasn't your destiny to find love on here, you try another site there are hundreds out there.
The point is nothing ventured nothing gained....no picture, to me, in the quest for online love = nothing ventured and quite possibly nothing gained! | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 2:25:59 PM | | I don't want to date someone just because my outer package is appealing,there is alot more to me than that. I don't want to be seen as eye candy, once again beauty comes from within,a brite smile,flashing eyes,humor,kindness,not max factor or a 30min workout | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 2:29:57 PM | ^^^ I am 100% agreeing with you  I did say that attraction is ""holistic"meaning both insidea and out. But putting a profile up with no picture is just as BAD as putting a profile up with a hot picture and a bunch of "prefer not to says" if you have nothing to say or don't care to elaborate on yourself, seriously, who cares what you look like! and those that do go for that kind of thing are only really looking for one thing...we're all adults here no need to spell it out ;-) | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 3:20:51 PM | I guess you were having a bad day? Welcome to the real world. No one gets all the responses they want, deserve or desire, that is life. No one said this was perfect, but to everyone who is in here, it is worth a shot and you didn't have to lay out any $$ out of your pocket to get no responses, think about that. Out of genuine respect for you, maybe another approach in your profile would work? I don't have the answers, unfortunately, most people out there are judging the book by its cover. I just have not met anyone at my age, who has the same energy as I do, so for me, searching for that person, who is not the couch potato, or it addicted to the computer/TV and enjoys getting outdoors and can stay up past 9pm is challenging. Also, on the other hand, maybe your residence is not geographically compatible to those females who are searching too. Take it easy, frustration and anger will only eat away at you and make it harder to find someone. Write to me and we can talk.

Posted: 8/1/2005 3:28:48 PM | | I have talked to and even met people without pix. Would I ever do it again? NO. Not because they looked nothing like their description, but because I HATED sitting watching the door and having no goddamn idea who it was I was looking for! First meets are nerve wracking enough without that added stress. | |

You can't blame women for wanting to see your handsome face!
I talked to a "guy" with no pic he turned out to be an older Lady now
what was I gonna do with THAT ?
Wow, that must have been a huge shocker! I can immagine me seeing a girl for the first time ever and finding out it was an old man. *cringe, hope nobody can see you, and run away* | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 4:36:03 PM | Rick your name rhymes with****, and you are a****...
just put a fecking photo up , so what if your good looking , your obviously a boring shit and need to get out of yourself !
would you date someone you had not seen ? , err.. probably , you would take then to your nearest lentil bar, where you could discus the plight of the whales , then back to your flat to look at some photos of you as a beautiful child
Get a life boring !!
Love beautiful ... Steven | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 8:20:38 PM | Hi Rick, its just that most people like to see who they are talking to. I think its considerate to have your pic up if you are able to when talking to someone. Would you talk to someone who rang you up over the phone and you didnt know who they were?
I always think that someone who doesnt put up a pic has something to hide. Even if you dont want to put on your initial prodile, you can atach a pic to a message to someone you are contacting. Whether right or wrong, thats my first impression. It has nothing to do with the person being good looking or not | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 8:28:15 PM | | same as with Indigo Rose, Im more wary of the deceit issue. Ive had a guy once tell me he was this and that, my age similar interests...turned out to be a couple looking for swingers. So its more a caution thing than trying to put anyone down. Sure a picture isnt a guarantee of that, but it does go a little way to open up a friendship, establishing some kind of trust...one of the things that I ask for someone I do start talking to is a current pic of them, hopefully with a date/time stamp and also include something that matches their profile, eg on a hike, with some friends, their pet, their family --- whatever. Just shows me they are more of the person they are portraying themselves to be | |
