There appears to be a much lower percentage of Irish profiles with photographs. Nowhere in the world would you find this type of shyness; it is no better than one photograph for every four to five without an image on most Irish sites, or sites that carry Irish profiles.

The social ineptitude is staggering, even though some of these people are well in to their thirties or older.

Jesus guys come on—there is hardly anybody who will mail you with out a photo thesedays!

I think it probably has alot to do with the size of Ireland. For alot of places the "six degrees of seperation" is probably reduced to 3.

And for alot there is still a stigma to all this carry on.

People have a right to their privacy. Personally, I have chatted to a number of people without pictures. Personality is the most important thing after all. Anyway, a number of people who do have a photo have one that is either quite old or isnt even of themselves. I know....I know, who are they fooling? You get all sorts on the internet.

Thank you for your reply. I wonder is it stigma or is it sheer igorance. Time perhaps for the Irish to come out of the box?

"Sheer ignorance"?

You are not exactly endearing yourself to any potential dates

He asked a question, nothing more. Besides, I assume from his post that he wouldn't date someone without a photo. Personally I don't think people should be allowed not to have photos on a dating site, or they should be put in their own section or something. To me if a person is that slow about putting up a photo, I would ask myself could I really trust a person so secretive? If you make the effort to join a dating site, you should be willing for your photo to be seen. JMO.

Well its a small country, and there is still that stigma attached to internet dating, so I can understand not wanting to put a picture up. Personaly Ive had men come up to me in pubs and be dickheads just cause they saw my on a dating site.

I can also see good looking women not wanting to put up a picture as it has the potential to attract more unwanted attention from shallow arseholes.
