"If you are serious and really want to meet someone after posting online, include a photo. Take the time. And please don't wear sunglasses, ballcaps or stand 100 yds away from the camera.

If you're going to find a love match this way, you gotta be secure enough with yourself to put yourself out there so that the ladies can see what you look like.

Nothing is more frustrating than reading a really nice profile and not being able to see what the author looks like. So, do yourselves a favor - post a photo or don't bother with all of this.

I think I speak for most of the women out there reading your profiles. If you need to lose a few pounds, say you do. Don't pretend to be someone you're not because its a waste of time for everyone - you'll be found out eventually.

And don't take photos of yourself holding the camera away from you - it makes your face look fat.

Just words of advice and encouragement from someone who hopes you find what you're looking for. Good luck."

Wow. Uh, last time I checked, there were women without photos as well.

Sometimes it can be a matter of someones Occupation, which prevents them having photo on display also.

Good advice which also applies to women about as much as men. Sorry about the sunglasses but I do have another shot without them....or much else either.

Good point. I am a CIA agent and am never allowed to post my photo anywhere.

Wait. Oops.

Yeah, and woman that have similar photos as mentioned above.

Those without pictures are on the FBI's Most Wanted List

I posted with out a photo for a few day, because I didn't have one to post. and I got a lot of emails telling me to post one.
But until it was there no one wanted to talk yo me.
Now that it is posted I dont get emails at all lol! must be telling me something!

"Nothing is more frustrating than reading a really nice profile and not being able to see what the author looks like."

Another frustrating thing is when you look at a womans pic to see approx where she is on this planet you get something like this:
Searching USA

It's a game some people play which tells me they really dont want to be found.

Oh Sweetie. You should get many! You are a VERY BEAUTIFUL Woman. ! Take Care, Be Safe, and SMILE. Love, Hugs/Kisses.

not everyone is for everyone. when they couldn't see you, they were imagining. they were curious. you don't want that person.

but now that you're viewable and get emails (even if it's a tad bit), you know it's from someone who's interested. Because what you see is what you get!

If my profile was read, the reader would find find clues. I have been stalked!

Sorry to hear about the stalking hon. That can be scarey. I read your profile but I wasn't really looking for clues. Guess I'll have to read it again.

I'm new here, but I've been on other sites. From my experience, the men (and this probably holds true for the women) who don't post a photo are either...

1- married - and don't want their spouse, or friends/relatives of spouse finding out.
2- in a committed relationship - same as above
3 - unattractive (in their own mind) - they may feel or think they're not attractive; but I think there's a lid for every pot. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

I dated a man for 6 months who my friends considered plain at best, unattractive at worst.
To me, he was beautiful inside; the outside was just fine.

I no longer answer anyone without a photo. I just don't trust them.

Just my 2cents...

Yeah!!

And while we're on the subject of photos...

How about some cleavage ladies?

You don't have to be in your undies, or a bikini. You can still look nice and show a little skin. There is nothing more frustrating than reading a really unique profile, and then there's just a face without a chest.

You have nice cleavage by the way Dennisue. You chest looks as fun as your profile.



Just Sayin

thanks but are we looking at the same picture lol!

Ouch, that OP hurt my eyes

And what about those of us without cleavage?
