Why are so many profiles photo challanged?Page 1 of 4    (1, 2, 3, 4)
My question to the many, many women out there that do not post a picture? A picture can save alot of time and only fair, after all you are cruising other sites and answering other profiles with photo's and truly appreciate them don't you?? So why?

might as well say something offensive before this thread gets deleted anyways.

Because the fatties and uglies don't want you to know what they actually look like.

scares people away.

'Cuz you're not worthy.

Kidding of course. So yea ... go with the asking them if they're fat and ugly. That will guarantee you a return email.

Because their shoe phone don't gots a camera thingy?
They're technologically challenged, and can't get the 3"x5" photo to install through the built in coffee cup holder?

There are many valid reasons for not posting a photo on an Internet dating site...although some border on cowardice, others are completely legitimate.

There could be a lot of reasons.
1) Don't want hubby know they are on here, when he is also looking. LOL
2) She could be very good looking, (we all know the very attrative ladies have a lot of people putting them on thier fav list). Getting tons of emails, saying Hi. want to get together?
3) They would like the person read thier profile, and not just send an email because of thier picture.


I thought this thread was going to be deleted?

Well Ive come to the conclusion that there are a lot of females that are in the Witness Protection Programme hence no picture.

Could be that they can't be bothered with a pic anymore ... it's not like you're actually going to meet anyone anyways.. LOL

Besides, if I'm that hideous to look at, why subject innocent people to that sight?

Everyone who knows me knows what I look like and those that don't, don't need to.

I think it's hilarious to receive these emails that are obviously cut and pasted to every woman on the site. If you reply, then you get read, deleted or a polite... I'm looking for something different. I laugh cause my profile says BBW.. which can't be more obvious.

I think people don't read profiles but judge all books by their covers which is lame..

Hence no pic..

I think it's fine to not have a pic on your profile some do it for privacy issues but what bothers me is when they won't show a pic at all. Fine if you don't want one on your profile but if your interested in getting to know someone I would like to see a pic of them after all it's only fair they have seen one of me. If they don't send me one I tend to be suspicious as to why they won't.
Just my two cents

I, personally, have a problem replying to men with no pics...And NOT because I judge people on the way they look, because I don't. I just like to see a face so I know who I'm talking to!!!!! Otherwise, I feel like I'm talking to thin air. I respond to ALL men who post a picture...Some I've met and dated....some are just friends. But at least I can SEE who I'm talking to!!!!

If I don't see a pic on a profile I presume they are married and window shopping... but who am I to judge, I saw someone marked long term and had a n a l s e x as an interest... whatever works!

100% bang on.

Sometimes I shake my head with the idiocy of questions put forth to the masses.

PS: Was there a 1/2 off sale at "Redundancy'R'Us"?

*puts on a newbie whiney voice* oh and yeah, I'm generalizing...

and SAYS.... "oh but we don't want to look through 10 pages of an OLD thread, we WANT the NEW, LATEST opinions ON a redundant subject" why?! CUZ WE'RE LAZY.

FCUK, who cares if there isn't a pic, this is NOT only a dating site, you can look for activity partners, talk/email, long term, dating.... GET over yourserlf, and SUIT yourself. As its been SAID, if there is NO pic, you know what, YOU have the choice about responding OR NOT.

Honestly, not everyone is comfortable with admitting they're even ON a dating site... so why would they have a picture up?

Now, what about having a pic up that ISN'T them or is 10 yrs OLD or from when they were good looking/skinny/tall....ect... shoot, I better shuddup, THAT thread has been done too.

Agree with ^^

It's everyone's perogative to not show a picture. This isn't only for dating and maybe they're not actively looking and for the time being, are sick of all this.

I suppose I shouldn't be showing my picture now but after so long with just my mug up there, I love this picture!

I don't have a pic because I'm not looking for dates, that simple.

this would make sense to me if you put a bag over your head while out grocery shopping, etc. in the real world

that said, I don't think people's reasons need to make sense to me lol

I don't have a picture up 'cause I am sick of the ones I had up ... and since my daughter has the digital camera, I always have to wait for her to download them for me ... I have a few really nice x-mas party pictures and once I come back from Florida ... well, those promise to be real fun ... with all that said, I don't date anyone from this site, but I do like the forums and I do like to show off ... so ... yeah, that's why I don't have pictures up ... OP and more on topic, if the ladies are contacting you, then don't respond ... if you are contacting them, then duh!

Doesn't matter if a woman posts a picture or not... There always will be: "Do you have more pictures?" "Do you have the one in the bikini?" "How recent is that picture?" and so on...
