this site is about connecting singles. right? i would have thought putting a photo on your profile would be one of the first things to do. i know it's not all about looks but i would never meet up with anyone without seeing what they looked like first. it just wouldn't feel right.
curious to hear your opinions ;-)

There are many reasons why people don´t have their picture attached to their profile.

Some may have no camera, other are shy, some others again might be prohibited from posting pictures by CS for a number of reasons, some don´t wanna be recognised by people who might know them, and so on, and so on.

I personally don´t care about pictures - I´ve found some great friends on here and only very rarely does it occur to me that I don´t even know what they look like.

1.I wanna come up as mysterious

2.I don`t want someone to recognize me

3.Someone will steel my identity

4.Im not photogenic

5.Im here just for the forums

I belong to acouple websites and some people post pics of themselves, of pets etc and noone thinks anything of it.

I realize on a site such as thing it helps to have a photo up.But even if they put a photo up how do you know for sure it's actually of them.

I agree... the few I have spoken to that had no pictures, turned out to be married, and just wanted an affair.

I don't know why they don't just put that in their profile as well, save me time.

But also I think most people are a little embarrassed to be seen by family and friends on a meeting site.

If a guy is not prepared to at least send me a picture, then I wont continue the talk...Fair is fair I say.
