Posted: 5/3/2005 8:13:18 PM | I am just curious as to why so many people write these profiles and won't post a pic to go with it! Are you married? fugly? OR wanted in 24 states by the authorities?
I hate when you start talking to someone who has'nt a picture to send you...Worse yet... I actually met a guy whos picture I hadn't seen,and he looked like a truck ran over him didn't make him ugly enough so,....It backed up and ran over him again! Don't want to sound shallow, but are you at all likely to respond to a profile without a picture???? | |

Posted: 5/5/2005 12:38:48 PM | Actually there are a few reasons, for having no pics. Some people don't have a scanner or own a digital camera. Some people don't want to post a pic because they are a little nervous that some may just fall in love with the pic and not what they had written on their profile.
I for one posted my pics, cause I believe that looks do mean something, I like to see what the person looks like so if they are in to fitness I can tell by looking at their pic if they are telling the truth or not (If the pic is not from the chin above.)
There are other reasons some maybe "Fugly" but no matter what you look like you should always be confident about yourself. There will never be another, you. | |

Posted: 5/20/2005 5:10:30 PM | Some people don't post a picture because they don't want their co-workers or friends to harass them about using online dating sites.
As for being fugly, one should consider how their own looks may be perceived by fellow fishers, before they start insulting the looks of other people.
I'm sure there's an analogy about pots and kettles, etc. | |

Posted: 5/25/2005 3:54:53 PM | You are quite correct!!
Being a medical professional and be harassed by co-workers for putting a picture on the internet is part of it. But, I do agree pictures are helpful if used properly.

Posted: 5/29/2005 11:30:08 PM | I was talking to a guy who didn't have a pic and it was because he was married and so scared that someone he knew would see him on here. Tacky.

Posted: 5/30/2005 4:51:14 PM | I would say that the majority of faceless profiles are in fact because the person is either married OR in a committed relationship! I have in fact met several of them who are just looking for extra curricular activites!
I was once contacted by another gentleman thru a different site that was a client of mine and in fact whose whole family are clients of the salon... wife... and 3 daughters.
What a low life! I have since severed my relationship as his stylist, and to this day he can't even look me in the eye when he comes in with his family! NOT to mention that his hair has looked like shit ever since ! LOL | |

Posted: 6/2/2005 12:37:21 AM | | Well I think if I was to get a email from someone with no picture I would really kinda study their profile. Try and get a mental image of what this person is like and if I think that this girl is someone special for me then ill reply. Thou, I kinda agree I don't get the fact people don't post pics.. the only thing I can think of is they don't have the hardware to do it.. IE digi cam or scanner. | |

Posted: 6/4/2005 11:24:03 AM | My first thought on faceless profiles is they are lying about something, maybe married looking for something on the side or as one person said fugly or obese, etc. | |

Posted: 6/4/2005 11:50:19 AM | The only people who seem to be offende by the lack of a pic, are people with pics.
No, wait, the people with pics that are good looking are the ones offended.
I'm a good looking guy, when I walk down the street, I get a lot of eye contact. I don't post a pic, because of co-workers, shyness, and generally, because I had an awkward stage in my teenage years that was nothing less than being the stereotypical nerd, bullied by everyone. Rejection and harrasment aren't something I like very much.
To those of you who met me, kudos. To those of you who shoved off because of no pic; good, you're probably shallow anyway, and only looking for someone who looks good holding your arm, while you walk by old classmates to show them you're not really a loser after all.
Check out my faves list, see the variety of people, they all have two things in common; cofidence, and the fact that they all answered a mail from a "faceless profile" , not all of them have pics. That's my rant. | |

Posted: 6/5/2005 2:09:24 PM | I just prefer not to have my pic posted. I contact people here based on what they write; yet I still find myself looking close at those that have pics. I really do feel you can get to know someone a bit better if you do not have a picture of him or her to prejudge him or her with. Those that I find truly interesting after a few emails I might tend to send to my blog site where I have a pic of me, along with a few of the things I write.
Face it, if someone is real hot they will get the larger share of contacts not because they are witty, intelligent, or have any real substance, but because they are hot. They will also get a larger amount of emails that they do not want if in fact they do have a personality that is to die for, because of the way they look. I'll bet most every "hotty" (male or female) here can tell us some pretty scary stories about emails and even some encounters.
Like I told one that wanted to send her picture, I want to know you for you first. I don't want to be influenced one way or the other by looks. If we decide we have an attraction...a meeting of the minds...then, by all means, send me a pic. Because by then I will have formed an opinion of you that goes beyond looks. And the looks truly will not matter. At that point what they look like will not change the way I feel about them so long as they were honest.The descriptions offered in most of the profiles are pretty close. Although it took a physical exam to determine that I was indeed "average" and not "a few extra pounds"
In my life I have never seen an ugly person. I have come accross quite a few ugly personalities though.
I do have to commend this site, however. I have found most of the people here to be pretty darn honest and open. Maybe because the site is free and pretty open.
So much more to say...so little time to say it.

Posted: 6/5/2005 2:10:11 PM | Its the same old debate isnt it, about are looks more important.., are we all shallow. Dont get me wrong when i say yes looks are important as it is a scientific fact that human beings as a species are biologically programmed to find a mate that in their eyes is strong and healthy in order to procreate with (thats science for you). However looks arent always the be all and end all of it, someone can be a supermodel an have the personality of foam, or vice versa be seen by society as being "average" or "below average" but have charm, wit and intelligence. I understand that some people dont have the technology to get a pic on their profile..but it is true that most people are suspicious of faceless profiles in the sence of "what are they hiding". I have spoken to people with both pics and no pics and have a varied response as to which i prefer...but personally i like a pic for the reason that i like to put a face to a name. I think it makes it slightly less impersonal and you start to feel as though you are talking with another human being rather than just words on a screen.

Posted: 6/5/2005 3:57:06 PM | That's the point
Too many weirdos around. I trust more people without pics than with pics. In case nobody noticed, there are some people on this site that are using pics of models from old Reebok commercials...
What do they really look like? What are they hiding?
How many people without pics are really good looking, but have low self esteem?
Probably more than would care to admit | |

Posted: 6/5/2005 9:43:02 PM | The whole idea to me is to get as much information as possible about him and that includes his picture as well as info on his profile. If he is worried about what his co-workers think , well I'm afraid he's too easily influenced by what others think for me to be interested in him.
As far as some being afraid of falling in love with the pic...well, few who are sane actually fall in love with a picture...it's an incomplete piece of information, meant to be only one part of the whole package. A picture does say alot though, how he dresses, the persona he wants to project to the world, does he care about what he projects? Does he not take care of himself?
Personally if a guy doesn't have a pic to show me he won't get far, maybe some idle chatter and that's about it.
I would never approach a faceless man in a bar and i'm certainly not going to develop an interest in a faceless man on here either. | |

Posted: 6/6/2005 12:29:37 AM | | i dont know, i would talk to a gurl, with a faceless profile, and i do agree about having confidence in yourself. and like wat they said, most people do look at the pics first, and then decide if they want to talk to the base off of there looks, because what else is going to give you the drive to talk to them, if you dont know what they look like, thats why i keep mine as a secret, if u really want to meet me then meet me , if not then o well your lost. | |

Posted: 6/12/2005 7:58:43 AM | | Maybe they just dont have the means to get a picture of themselves uploaded. Some people aren't big on taking pictures. So they really don't have any in the first place. Some are tired of being pick for having a pretty face and would rather be judged on their personality. I haven't poste dmine because i have been a member for about a day at this point. Don't have any pics on disk just paper. I think the question you should be asking is why you are so hung up on such a shallow perspective. I will respond to anyones mail pic or not. i understand that not everyone has a pic or can get a pic online. I'm sure as hell not going to hold it against them. Maybe you should post in your profile that if they don't have a pic then don't mail you. Shazzam!!! Problem solved. | |

| faceless profiles/where are all the unshallow girls?
Posted: 6/12/2005 6:31:32 PM | | Good for you Garf!!!! I cant stand shallow girls.I don't understand why some girls like guys just because of their looks.They could be the biggest douchebag on earth but "oh my god he is so hot!".........HUH???? I don't get it.I know what someone might say: "that's what an ugly person would say" Hey maybe i'm ugly but i'm a great person and a hard worker and a generally nice guy.I'm glad that all of you materialistic barbie rejects aren't writing me, go find some guy that'll stimulate you with insightful conversationss such as: "guess how much i bench press?" or "do you like my hair slicked back or natural" Garf!!!!!Where can i find these girls? I have pics and i have had lousy results! | |
