Posted: 2/22/2008 9:08:29 PM | | Any advice from you ladies as to how to politely refuse to pander to the girls on here that think they are pretty...and because they think so, feel they are entitled to preferential treatment? I had one that said she could have her choice of anyone, therefore why should she be talking to someone without a photo...when I told her that first off, I really didnt consider her to be as pretty as she obviously thought she was and secondly, even if she were that pretty, one's looks certainly do not justify such an attitude, she unleashed an obscenity laced tantrum. If It werent so hillarious, it would have been quite pathetic. Imagine, a grown adult launching into a tirade because someone dared to tell the emperoress she had no clothes. Ahhhh the inanity of it all.... | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 3:05:35 PM | I thought its a rule to have a main pic. I wouldnt date anyone without seeing what they looked like 1st.
you can be the most beautiful person in the world on the outside but if the person doesnt appeal to you in the looks dept. chances are it isnt going to work out | |

Posted: 2/24/2008 8:45:41 AM | I like women who *know* they are beautiful. However, that knowledge and beauty cannot be limited to the physical, as would be in the case of a physically attractive but "stuck up" person (of either gender).
It's not unreasonable for people on a dating site to request a picture, but of course that doesn't justify arrogant or rude behavior. However, trying to "teach someone a lesson" or getting into an on-line argument about how one should or should not respond to on-line communication is just plain dumb. I cannot imagine it ever being effective.
No click, no attraction, just move on ... no hard feelings are necessary. | |

Posted: 2/24/2008 11:31:32 AM | | why should it be a "rule"to have a picture...some of us do not own a home pc, such as myself, or are somewhat computer illiterate. do we deserve to be treated differently because we lack funds for such and the like?should we be punished and therefefore subjected to different rules because of this? i am not able to post a photo, but tell any one interested that i can send them one from my cell, as this is my only means. just because someone doesnt have a photo doesnt mean they deserve disrespect, or deserve to be "written off" ...u dont know what or who u might miss if u dont give someone the chance or opportunity . and why is it that some women cant even be "polite" and just not answer the email or say theyre not interested. u can set ur mail settings to block users from contacting u if u dont have a photo...that woman should do that, and then come down from her ivory tower. | |

Posted: 2/24/2008 11:58:12 AM | looks aren't everything, but at any dating site, I think necessary. I want to know who is contacting me and in turn, I want them to see me. You don't meet people in the real world blindly, why should cyberspace be any different.
And just for the record... if you can send someone a pic from your phone, you can send it to your own email, save it and upload it... | |

Posted: 2/24/2008 1:08:46 PM | I wouldn't talk to someone without a pic unless they had a private image and sent it within the first couple e-mail exchanges. It's just not safe to talk to someone who can't be bothered to put a pic up. You want people to take a chance on you when you're not even willing to put a pic of yourself up?!
And your pointing out that you don't think she's pretty was about as low a blow as her insistence that she's so pretty she doesn't *have* to talk to someone without a pic. You're really no better than her in my opinion. Grow up. | |

Posted: 2/25/2008 1:02:54 PM | | Some of you, most likely unknowingly, have helped prove my point. The droll response, crass and boorish replies merely underlie your self-heightened, yet baseless self-esteem through the condemnation of others. Thank you, ladies! | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 2:20:35 PM | | Think about it... you upset her.... you stepped on her toes... She more then likely has a self esteem problem.... and you told her she was ugly. Great going.... I would have told you off too if you told me I was ugly... | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 11:20:08 PM | Ive given you the wrong impression. I NEVER commented on her looks at all! I was asked why, given how pretty she is (these are her words), should she converse with someone who hasnt a photo displayed.
Fear not, maidens of average beauty. The great equalizer, age, soon descends upon all us mortals, eventually the "pretty" is overcome by the unrelenting forces of time; we all become that which we are on the inside. Hence, the saying, beauty is skin deep. Its so important to keep this amind as we search for a mate....once the good looks are nothing but a faded memory, we must be lured to the inner being. Unfortunately, many blessed with beauty never quite develop a personality beyond basking in their external glory. | |

Posted: 3/6/2008 8:51:58 PM | Hmm... let me get this straight, someone doesnt have a pic, someone requested one (in a rude manner, allegedly) and as a result there is this post asking how "to politely refuse to pander to the girls on here that think they are pretty.."
I guess if you had the emotional IQ to recognize she was being rude, one would think you know how to reply in a polite manner... and if you don't then I suppose you shouldn't be looking to date quite yet?
I guess I am confused, if she isnt that pretty to you, why did you contact her? Last I knew, this site is for dating, not finding roommates.
And, why does her rudeness upset you to the point that she has suddenly become unattractive? Now that would be strange to me, that rudeness affects a person's vision...

Posted: 3/23/2008 3:19:43 PM | I believe that most likely the lady had recieved enough responses from men without a photo posted. It aggravates me as well. And she'd had enough of it, he took the brunt. Not neccessary to put it in such a manner as she did.
But hey, if you are real, true, and confident with yourself and being on a date site then put the pic up. Theres no excuse, rich, poor, intelligent or dunce, you can and will if confident.
But that said and answering to this one here. You can be the highest paid model, most gorgeous babe (male or female) but if your personality is ugly you are too. It is easy to make yourself go from a 10 to a negative if you are vain, a jerk, abusive...etc.
Just my opinion ...good thing huh....lol | |

Posted: 3/29/2008 12:07:11 PM | | wow! Reading those threads made me feel like I was in a room full of bitter ,insecure , jealous, high schoolers. Is this a dating site or a site for bullies? So what if she liked to put a face with the person she was speaking with. Don't we all? And yes, most of us humans find a physical attraction to our mates....not all preferences are alike. In the real world before any words are spoken there is some physical characteristic that draws our attention to a person and in turn leads to a conversation. Right? Are you that upset with the fact that she thought she was pretty or were you more insecure with the thought she MIGHT NOT be attracted to YOU? So, in turn, you attacked her personality? How old are you? | |

Posted: 3/29/2008 4:06:00 PM | I think you should remember that tirade she let loose on you and use it to your advantage. She may not have shown you what she looked like on the outside but you certainly got a real good look at the inside! And in the end, that is what is really important though we all know physical chemistry is major too.
In her defense however, I don't have a picture posted either and possibly for the same reason. It is a screwy world out there guys with way too many nuts rambling around in it... and it can certainly be more dangerous for women that men. If you live in small town and you have your face plastered all over the internet, every idiot for miles around could show up on your doorstep in the middle of the night. I refuse to live in fear but it never hurts to be careful. | |

Posted: 3/29/2008 6:43:34 PM | Just become a pilot like i did. The idiots won't come after you to date you. Neither will the normal people. They will think you have a death wish, and will avoid you like the plague. At least that is happening to me.  | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 10:40:35 AM | In this day and age I have found if someone doesn't post a picture...they are probably hiding something. I don't have a digital camera or a webcam on my computer, but I was able to get a few pics taken purposely for the website.
For most who lead busy lives, this is only way to meet people. Would you were a paperbag over your head to a coffee shop or a bar to hide your face? No, I don't think so; so if we are meeting people on-line, it is natural to know what that person looks like. | |

Posted: 4/4/2008 10:46:51 AM | | I would'nt talk to anyone without a picture either...It has "Everything" to do with being safe...With all the B.S. this "Internet" brings, How do I know you don't have something to hide?- Like being 14 years old or something???? | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 7:32:44 PM | Very, very well said.
Guess that really sums it up.
You're right.
Kinda funny how one can get a picture and make a judgement ( about looks) but not have the guts post his/her own...... | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 6:48:41 AM | | Had she not responded or sent a "No thanks" would this back and forth been over? I don't think it's necessary to respond with a 'why' and agree that she crossed the line of decorum but would you have accepted it and no longer darkened her inbox? | |
