Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all?
Posted: 12/4/2006 2:26:24 PM | Yes, I have, and don't see what is the problem with that! After all, even if you meet someone with a pic, how would you know he or she is anything beyond the pic if you don't ever meet him or her! A certain amount of fear and trepidation in getting to know someone for the first time is natural, but one's life should never be ruled by fear, even when there is some justification for it!
I can understand someone being afraid of taking a chance on someone, but nothing is ever gained in life, even love, without doing so, and this is coming from someone who has been burned in love before, both by persons with pictures, and those without. And some of the best relationships, even those that did not end in love, have been with persons who's image I never saw before I met them for the first time. And, by the way, the woman I am referring to, whom I met here at Plentyoffish, hadn't seen my image when she met me here, because I don't have one here.
For what it's worth, at times I have found these online dating sites to be not much more than glorified photo galleries anyway, when all the persons whose pictures you see are not much more than cowards anyway, who are so scared of taking a chance on love that they won't step out of their comfort zones enough to go after that they claim they want so badly. I realize that this sounds a bit mean and angry, but I must admit I don't have much respect, or patience, with people who talk a great game, but won't do what is necessary to play a good game also.
I apologize for the tone of this reply, but not for the attitude behind it, because I believe it in my heart to be right. If you want love, stop talking about it and do something about it. Take a chance; you never know if you don't try!!!
Happy holidays to all who read this, and may love provide you with the greatest Christmas gift of all!!!
