| The importance of photos to women.
Posted: 12/26/2006 6:36:37 PM | How important is it to the women in the house to see a photo associated with a profile? I don't intend to be a spokesmen for the guy fellows, but generally speaking, being visual beasts, I think a man will think twice before making contact to a profile without a photo. I, of course, am the exception.......javascript:smilie(' ')
Is this as important to women? | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 6:48:03 PM | Well for me I like to put a face to a name being I am way better with faces! But, I wouldn't say I haven't talked to anyone without a pic! I mean if the profile sounds and looks good then can take your chances. Also depends on what it is you are looking for....if you are looking for a relationship wouldn't it be nice to see who it is you intend on maybe meeting? I know looks aren't everything but they do help!  | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 6:52:30 PM | I don't care if there is a photo or not. I do, however, insist on a pic before meeting. It is really disconcerting to be meeting someone and not have a clue what they look like!
*Note*
This does NOT mean that I am completely altruistic and that looks don't matter to me* | |

A few months ago, I was having a coffee at JJBeans on Commercial Drive and noticed a lovely attractive woman smiling at me. I just thought that she was being friendly, and we exchanged smiles and glances for a while before she approached me and asked if my name was Matthew, or Mark (NOT Luke or John). I replied no and realized that she was supposed to meet a blind date and didn't have a clue how he looked (other than he was obviously dashing and handsome! javascript:smilie(''))
What I meant with my question was whether or not you initiate contact based on an ad, or do you scroll by until you get to an ad with a photo, like some guys potentially may have perhaps potentially occasionally done? | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 7:20:32 PM | I agree with who the fox.
I will chat with anyone that wants to (unless the topic moves toward smut) whether there is a pic or not.
However, somewhere down the line, I would appreciate a picture.
I think men are much more visual of course and the pic is the advert in itself to some.

Posted: 12/26/2006 7:25:52 PM | | I almost never initiate contact....and if I do, I have NO interest in dating them....but am merely commenting on something amusing they wrote in Forums or on profile or whatever...so pic has nothing to do with it. | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 7:37:14 PM | I regularly initiate contact with profiles that have no photos. According to my friends, I'm an odd one. I like long quirky profiles and for some reason most don't have pictures. The surprising part...most have been very attractive too.
OP...a couple more paragraphs and I would have been all over your profile...;) | |

So did you get her phone number,or better still get her out of there before he arrived.
Actially this might work to meet woman? | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 8:45:53 PM | to me very important nowadays... since my escapade with a certain someone who he thinks I am talking about him (the song "ur so vain, u think this song is about u" by Karly Simon). I will not open my IM to anyone without checking their profile first and even with a pic some pple will put a poser pic on their profile. WTF? is that all about? Please pple, have some respect, u thinks u going to fool me or any of the fine female fishies, ur seriously mistaken buddy. 
It only goes to prove the point that ur insecure and can only hide behind the computer. U don't have to put the pic on ur profile but can send it privately. Don't feed me no bs liners about saying u don't want ur friends to know, that's a biggest bunch of malarkey i ever heard.
Automatically when I hear bs liners ur a goner in my eyes.
toodles!  | |

I am very visual, probably from spending many years with graphic arts, but maybe if I take my photos off I would have better luck.  | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 9:13:20 PM | No pic with a lot of "prefer not to say" in the profile is definately a deal breaker for me. I will correspond to a profile with out a pic, but if you want to meet me, you better provide one before the meeting.
