Profile Photo - A Matter Of Debate
I have witnessed the Debate here on CS , over NOT Having a Photo on Profile , so many times ...I really wonder , the people who make it a matter of debate , do they even think about it logically before starting to make it such a big deal !!!
After all , it's just about Personal Choice on a dating site like this CS...
If someone Feels Good to Show their Photo Publicly , that's Fine...
And If someone Don't Want to Show it Publicly , that's Also Should be Fine ...
No One Should Question or Complain about the Personal Choice anyway ...
This type of sites , where it's NOT NECESSARY , to mention your Full Official Address , Contact Details , Identification Number or even your Official Name , PUBLICLY ON THE PROFILE , then there is NO reason to put your Personal Photo PUBLICLY ON THE PROFILE as well..
Because , just like other Personal Information mentioned , your Photo is also a very crucial part of your BASIC PRIVACY & SAFETY matters ...
And specially in a site , where is NO GUARANTY to make your Photo Secure after uploading Publicly , as in here on CS , I have noticed before many times , when peoples' photo was Morphed and Posted openly on Public Forum Without their advance Permission , I find it's EXTREMELY UNFAIR for the SITE AOUTHORITY to ask the members to put their Personal Photo Publicly ...
Certainly , to Identify and to Decide a Potential Date , Appearance plays a vital role..
But
That DOES NOT MEAN that you SHOULD SHOW YOUR PHOTO PUBLICLY TO ALL THE COMPLETE STRANGERS WHEN THERE IS NO SAFEGUARD PROVIDED BY THE WEBSITE ...
You can always share your Photo Privately with Someone Specific when it comes to Select a Date Online...
The Choice to Share your Photo Privately with the ones you are willing to , is Always There ...
And for just Profile Decoration , the SITE MUST be flexible enough to ALLOW any OTHER types of DECENT IMAGES (like Nature , Art , Qouatation etc.) In the place of Profile Picture ...
Just make sure , NO One Uses FAKE PHOTO (Borrowed From Someone Else
) as a Profile Pic ... Yes .. It's good to have an option to post Pictures on Profiles .. But Just As Optional , Not as Obligation ...

That's some new angle to think about it !!
But I think Religion is totally IRRELEVANT here ..
It's up to the site, as to what are the rules regarding that photo.
I like having a photo of myself, because it rapidly identifies my blogs to the readers as belonging to me
with just a glance.
While I can certainly understand the reasons you choose not to post a photo,
if a motive for being on this site includes dating, you would likely attract more candidates with a photo of yourself. However, that is somewhat less important, if you are the person who initiates contact.
So to each their own.
Most people on a site like CS , are NOT that much religious , for sure ...
Well.. Most people online , are not what they seems ... Photo or No Photo ...
Exactly my point... Choice is Yours/Ours..
As I've mentioned , sharing Photo does not mean you have to share Publicly , you can share it Privately as per your Choice and Convenience ...
Besides , many times , it infact draws Unwanted Attention on a large scale , if there's a Photo on profile ..
It is a personal choice though.
Exactly !!
And you know what's my experience says !!
I just posted some creative artistic pictures , not even any real human face , and yet it results into so many unwanted views and responses !!
