| Why do Men ask to see your pics then NEVER talk to you again....?
Posted: 6/6/2006 7:32:38 PM | I dunno, but.......wouldn't that be really hard to do? I mean, think about it. Telling someone you're not interested and they'll know it's based on you not liking their picture.
It's easy to say they should just tell you but in all honesty, are you really sure you'll be okay with that? I think I would just rather not hear from them anymore.
Personally, if they don't send a pic or have on on their profile, I never ask for one because of the possibility that I won't like how they look....and then what?? | |

Posted: 6/6/2006 7:58:50 PM | They ask to see your pictures for the very same reason that we ask to see theirs! Look, be realistic. Some folks will like your looks and be your type. Some won't. In the first place, if I had my way NO ONE would be on the site if they didn't post a picture.
I have been in this situation myself and I'm a girl. Someone will email me and say they are interested in me. The funny thing about it to me is that they will invariably mention that they liked my picture. Then when I go to look at theirs, there isn't one. That puts me in the position of either pretending that looks don't matter (which they do) or asking for the picture. I will usually not email very much at all until I see a picture. I don't want to start a relationship with someone who I have never seen. The only time looks don't matter is after you get to know a person. This isn't that sort of forum.
If I receive the picture and I don't find myself attracted to the person, I usually just don't email back. What is the person supposed to do? Email you and say, "I don't find you attractive. Never mind"?
If you want to prevent this from happening, post your best picture. That way no one will contact you unless they find you to be their type. You look at their pictures, they have a right to see yours.
I know this will sound harsh, but stop whining. You suspected this would be their reaction or you'd have posted a picture anyway. What you need to realize is that you are someone's type. I have found myself attracted to men who were not conventionally handsome because they had something else goin for them. There's a match for you. However, expecting men to be sensitive to someone they have never even met is unrealistic. Besides, when they don't respond they are trying to be sensitive most likely.

Posted: 6/6/2006 8:04:09 PM | oh no you di'int. Well we were trying to be nice and even a bit funny, but if you want the done to earth truth of it maybe thats what you need. First and foremost preparing people right out that "Im not a beauty".. well hun the SCREAMS insecurity.
Actually, Im sorry, I was all fired up to give ya a good going over but after reading your profile I just cant. I mean your playing yourself out to be SUCH a pity case. You dont need a friend/date/Long Term I honestly think you might want to contact a local hospital and possibly find a support group. There are many people who might have a similar background with which you can connect.
If I said anything or came across condescending, I sincerely apologize. | |

Posted: 6/6/2006 10:45:41 PM | For most people there has to be some sort of physical attraction. You can be charming and whitty and a very nice sounding person on the phone but if the attraction isn't there it becomes an issue to be considered.
I started talking to a lady who had a pic on her profile ( yeah, she looked cute ).It was one of those glamour shot types. We emailed a few times, IM'ed and started talking on the phone. Things were going along ok then I asked her to email me an everyday, normal type pic.
Wasn't even close. The pic on her profile looked 10 yrs younger. I have to admit,yes she sounded sweet on the phone and we had some good and interesting conversations but after getting her "today" pic the attraction wasn't there any more. We still email occasionally but that's as far as it's ever gonna go.
As for never talking to you again all I can say is don't set yourself up to be in that situation. Do you think it's easy for the person whom you've been talking to to have to tell you that they don't find you attractive to them. It's not! The last thing I want to do is hurt someone's feelings but if you don't have a current, everyday looking picture on your profile then you must be prepared for some let downs. That's why I've written in my profile that I need a picture first now. I've been put in that situation before and I'm not going to do it again. The
"let down" goes both ways.
Why put up a profile looking for a date if you can't include your picture. After all, isn't it a part of your profile too ? | |

Posted: 6/7/2006 1:32:04 PM | Male or female, I think if you are just average or even a little better than average in looks, you're going to have a very hard time in the online dating world. You'll probably get many more responses if you post a picture. A photo even if you are not a "beauty" as you put it gives your profile a human face to it. You are no longer just words.
I don't respond to men without pictures. It's incredibly easy to get digitial photos, even a candid snapshot is fine. If they do not want to post their picture, it makes me wonder what they are hiding.

Posted: 6/8/2006 6:23:06 AM | | It is because if the guy doesn't like what is on the outside then he will have no interest on the real you. If any guy doesn't like you for what you look like then he is the looser because he cant be worth much himself. If he needs a drop dead gorgeous woman by his side that just means he wants a trophe woman to make him look good. | |

Posted: 6/8/2006 8:51:46 AM | what do you do when you meet people in public, put a blindfold on yourself, or what is it, you just meet people with paper bags around their heads???
when i get a picture from someone with a pictureless profile and i don't like what i see, i simply state that, and state that i'm not attracted. i always tell the truth, and i always answer a question, even if i anticipate that the answer will not delight the questioner. | |

Posted: 6/8/2006 10:46:22 AM | | Why is everyone upset about people being intersted in looks before they meet someone. If your out and see someone that catches your eye than your goiing to approach them, if someone doesnt not catch your eye than your not goiing to say to yourself " I bet that person has a nice personality i should go and talk to them" Its life, get over it, im not goiing to dwell over the fact the girl A doesnt think im attractive, forget about her or him and move on. There will be someone that will find you attractive and will approach you. Like they say differetn strokes for different folks. It just seems on here that, people are *&*@!ing about not being approached by somone that is out of theyre league, be realistic. Ive noticed that alot of bigger poeple both men and women are looking for a drop dead georgious person, and then get mad if someone doesnt respond to theyre email. Move on, lifes too short. | |
