| Can anyone give me a legitimate reason for NOT posting a picture???
Posted: 8/6/2006 1:45:15 PM | | Out side of being Married or in some kind of secret job I cannot think of one ..and even if you had a top secret job LOL you could simply put a private picture on here and still send it to people you correspond with..So I guess they have something to hide , what do you think?? | |

Posted: 8/6/2006 2:05:32 PM | | i agree that it is annoying simply because it would be nice to see the person and there is the risk they could be anyone but im not very good with computers at all, so i can see that it could easily be a problem like that or their computer is bad, altough i would say some some have something to hide im sure alot don't | |

Posted: 8/7/2006 10:31:53 AM | Sure how about the idea that people will scan a picture and never even slow down to read a profile if they don't like what they see in the pic, OR they repsond to a pic and never read the profile based solely on the looks of the picture.
Look I want to know if there is physical attraction towards each other as much as anyone, but the content of a profile will hopefully say a lot about the character of the person. A pic simply adds to or takes away from the idea that there is a physical attraction. I send my pics with e-mails once we seem to have some initial interest that are mutual.
And yes I admit I can like what I hear from someone but turn it down going any further once I see there is no physical attraction for me. Don't let a no pic profile stop you from making contact.
Some of my best meets have been profiles I never saw a pic on to start with. Ok and some of my worst also.....laff.
Pics are a part of the process, just doesn't have to be the reason for the process.
I posted my pics on other sites and I'd get some initial contacts. I'd write back to thank them and ask what about my profile made them decide to initiate contact. I'd get responses like, I like your eyes or I like your hair. None of that was ever written about in my profile. Makes me feel like they have no interest in me as far as what I have to say. | |

Posted: 8/7/2006 2:24:55 PM | | I do like to see a picture as well as read the profile but some people just are not comfortable about having their pictures out there. If I write them or they contact me most are willing to send you a pic. Someone mentioned how some people write without reading your profile and I have experienced that myself. To me its the whole package not just my face and not just what I say. There was one guy so nice and sweet and excited about me. I hounded him for a pic and he finally sent one, he was not attractive, but I didn't care I liked his personality and I do have a few paper bags. However, shortly after getting the pic he wanted to stop our communications because he felt too ugly for me. What could I say sorry you are so insecure about your looks but there is nothing I can do about that. One thing for sure if they never send a pic they are going to meet me in broad daylight and in a highly public place. | |

Posted: 8/7/2006 3:15:07 PM | Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..but i still maintain if you sincerely want to join a dating site and you are available NOT MARRIED OR IN A RELATIONSHIP then the very least you can do is post a picture..IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW LEARN go to a copy shop library somewhere and they will post it for you...how many men are there out there that will meet any woman without a picture?? Darn few    | |

Posted: 8/7/2006 9:23:37 PM | No idea, but I was willing to date a man w/o a pic on the basis of his personality, guess my humor scared him away.....or he changed his mind, have no idea....All I know is so many men think if you even post a nice pic, you are only a booty call woman.....Guess it is time to sell my stuff and move, I'm an extrovert without any activity partners-which, BTW, is not a euphemism for sex...And I really hate sitting at home.....Yeah, time to go, I think..... | |

Posted: 8/9/2006 5:14:27 AM | reasons people do not post pics
1. they are married and do not want their spouse to know they are stepping out.
2. they are embarressed to be looking for a date on the internet.
3. they are not smart enough to figure out a way to post a pic.
even if you have a pic with your face covered it is better than no pic at all. posting pics of your motorcycle or pet is better than no pic at all. posting a pic of the back you or your feet is better than no pic. | |

Posted: 8/9/2006 7:45:13 AM | The one time I did talk to a guy w/out a picture, turned out he was on the pedifile list. Weird thing was this was through match & I got an an e-mail telling me the guy's full name & where to go look for the info. on him. (ask.com)
So I do not respond to anyone w/out a picture.  | |

Posted: 8/9/2006 9:23:26 AM | For men its a sense fo pride and self esteem, sometimes they don't want others to seem as if the men are desprite to find someone. If a man has chosen to be single beyond the desired time fame of most of his collegues then they deem it as their sworn duty to find the perfect woman or that their is something diffently wrong with him as to why he has never been married before now. While this may be true for some circumstances may produce life's wants and desires to be beyond the means of that particular man.
As for women with the increase of rape and internet scams I don't blame anyone for not posting their pictures. After trust is established then it might be a good idea to inquire and then if a picture is not given then double check why you trust that individual.
As for me I'm getting hasseled about not smiling in my photos but for some reason I have trouble smiling for the camera, any suggestions? | |
