Hmmmmm really?

Also, some of us are on more than one dating site, so some of the pic's we have of ourselves on here, may also be on those other one's, but then the person viewing them may think their fake, and that the website owner's stole them from other site's, when personally, we know whether our own pic's are fake or not. I have different username's on other dating site's, so that certain online stalker's couldn't find me on the others. I do try to upload different pics for different site's anyway.

It all depends on what one wants on a dating site.....pics don't tell much about a person though,,jux a hint of what one would love to see...I sense that scammers don't put up many pics...they jux have one or two they stole from elsewhere on their profiles..

Yeah but alot of jokesters out there obvious a pix of man acting like a woman the picture can make a difference. I have responded to posts without pictures but its becouse they contacted me, eventualy they privately send you there pix. So far they were attractive normal people, so who know its a wash

Who knows biker -- people have all sorts of reasons for doing what they do. Welcome! I hope you find what you are looking for.

Very true

Probably tired of being JUDGED
...Or MISjudged as the case may be
WTF do you care ...



Sure a LOT of fugn TROLLS in here lately...

Well at least i KNOW what i look like

I walked by a mirror the other day and screamed!
What do you mean?
That was ME?

I want to see pics and even then I'm not sure I'm speaking with the person on the picture that I am viewing. Once on a 3d site, I was enjoying chat with someone that I thought was a woman. One day this person said to me " how would you feel if I told you that I'm really
a man?" I didn't know what to think and did not engage in online chat for about 6 years....

This...

Sweetestgirl:

You make an excellent point so I just want to add, women have the same nature as men when it comes to first impressions. Also some one made the point that because you see someone's photo does not mean it is them. I was on a site months ago, when I was contacted by someone pushy and showed photos of a blond on a ranch, at the beach and a dinner party but yet couldn't spell and had broken English. It doesn't take Albert Einstein to figure out someone was stealing an identity.

This blonde would not have been pushy and desperate if it was really her.

So here's my impression of what people on this thread have been saying.
People with no pics:
--Have something to hide...
--Have issues...(teased a lot, think the're ugly, shy, misunderstood)
--Don't put in the effort to upload from a PC... (just looking)
--Want to be known for their personality instead of their looks...

I think they're all perfectly valid reasons, depending on your lifestyle choices, and what you want from the site. I personally would want to have an entry door to separate people by intent, with plenty of wiggle room, of course. I personally am highly squeamish when it comes to faces, and would not consider having a relationship with someone who I did not find to be "kissable."

Scientifically speaking, males tend to judge using visual signs of genetic stability, and females tend to judge psychological suitability. Both have characteristics of both, but people tend express one more than the other based on gender.

As an example, in my family line, males and females are both dominantly visual, and would never accept someone we would find ugly. Females in my genetic line tend to be more tolerant of personality, and less worried about their looks, while males tend to be more sensitive to negative personality traits in women, and more worried about their looks.

My grandma is 86 and she is still active with men, and she still judges by looks and personality.

Want to be known for their personality instead of their looks...



This.

I just want them to know me for my inner mutant poodle.

bahahahahaa...it is our lunch time....

Cmon..




Gawd I cant wait for Halloween...

It's almost upon us!

I'm not sure why people complain about pictures. Why not just go for those who have pictures and are attractive to you, rather than whining about those who do t have pictures?

well said.

I agree too Darling (great name! )

I always feel a little bit of a twinge of something like guilt when I ignore a photoless profile, but it makes me a little bit apprehensive when someone messages me without a photo. Its like they're hiding. I understand that people may be shy, or cautious, or whatnot, but I do choose to be cautious as well, in not answering or contacting them. My own safety comes first.

I actually do judge a person by their photo though. If someone looks grouchy in a photo they've posted on a dating site, where they want to make a good impression, I steer clear of them. I look for kind eyes. Regardless of what their appearance is, if they have a great smile I will respond. I'm very attracted to a good sense of humour, and to those who appreciate a good sense of humour. I have this idea that they're usually light hearted and open to others. Lovely people.
