If someone emails or flowers you...and they have no picture in their profile (and i don't mean pic pending) do you respond to them or not?
And as in dreamer's case, if you are contacted by someone for the first time with a lewd or suggestive message...do you respond..either way...to them?
I know there are some who will say that due to the "field of work" they are unable to post a pic (do you buy that?...is there companies out there that prohibit their single empolyees from joining a dating site???) but if you send your email they will send a pic for you...do you give out your email that casually?

the only response lewd suggestions get from me is a block.if they piss me off i post it in the forums to inform the other ladies of who to beware of. If they dont have a pic i do respond but correspond awhile before asking for the a pic by e-mail.i like to get to know the person behind the face.
Hi Jax...well i have stopped responding to people with no pics on their profile...because i feel that they have something to hide...and i don't need that type of thing in my life right now
I will respond to a nice email or original flower if the person doesnt post a pic.
I send back a nastygram to the lewd and tell them what i thought of their comment..and twice it made me sick enough or mad enough to post it...TWO out of tons, lucky for the others i was offended but not enough to post them
I wouldnt meet anyone without a pic though...um HELLO of course not, not even about looks but who the hell is it im supposed to look for? Id end up watching over my shoulder for the knife blade.
I dont mind giving my email. I use certain email addys for different things and I can always change that email I use for CS or delete unwelcome writers.

I dont blame you.Mach25 and RillyNiceguy (who now has a pic) opened me up to the fact that some who dont have pics are good people but dont want to be judged by their looks.I mean I have considered not having a pic just so someone would actually read the profile!!I think people see the photo lineup up top and flower all the pics they like and dont bother reading the profile to see if they are what the person is looking for.
Krissy that would be way too much effort on my part for someone who does not have the time nor the inclination to put himself out there like the rest of us had to...
One more thing...there have been a few without pics that I talked to and they simply didnt know how to do it or didnt have the computer things to make it simple for them. I'd suggest things like Walgreens or Wal Mart, letting them know they can have photo prints put onto disk...and since then many have added a photo....and I would have lost out on a nice friend....
Jax..please...no offense here...because i do like the two people you mentioned...but as a general rule...they don't want to be judged by their looks...seems to me THEY already did that and found themselves lacking...because as far as i'm concerned...i didn't get that chance they made a decision for me...
My point is that i want to know who i'm saying hello to...not that i think there is anything wrong with them, or that they may not be a wonderful person given the opportunity...i just feel that if they don't have a picture up there is something missing (pun intended)
I respond to emails or flowers regardless of whether someone has a photo or not ... not necessarily all if they have nothing to say really or are saying something rude. Most people that don't have a photo posted generally will offer to send one eventually - I don't usually give out my email address right away because I rarely check my regular emails and as well IM is not my favorite thing to do either.
