It is been a while I don't post a thread on the site but I am glad tonight someone inspired me to do it. I have been on the internet world for lots of years now and have had communication with men and women from all over the world. Recently I have updated my profile stating in it that I am giving dating and love another chance... so lots of mails are coming to my inbox and I am thankful for them, most of them nice and impressive but a particular one tonight.....that I really liked but big red flag: profile without a picture; I know some people have talked about this thousands of times but if you have a profile without a picture and you dare to write a woman that has her profile complete and with several pictures you can expect her wanting to see yourself, it is only fair, instead of understanding this he stereoptyped me as ARGUMENTATIVE and not just this I replied staying true to myself and my statement of not going on witout seeing his picture and he answered me with a "WHAT A ROTTEN PERSON YOU ARE!" and then blocked me so I could not reply to him.
I understand some people don't show their pictures for several reasons but once they get interest in someone I am sure they are willing to share their pictures. For me posting a picture in the profile means you are confident with yourself and the pictures are really yours. It doesn't matter if you are ugly or handsome, pretty or not, for me it is important to see the face of the person with whom I am sharing facts of my life with, so why some men have to get angry and write ugly comments like this? Can't we just write with manners like the adults we are? I am just asking.... I am not a "picture collector" (As he called me) but I do appreciate being contacted by persons that have pictures in their profiles and not just one picture at least 3 where you show your face and no, I don't consider this being demanding or annoying I think it is only fair. What do you think? Have you had any experience like this one?

If that's a red flag for you then you ought to forget about him OR her.
Never can tell who's behind a profile. I would think with the years of experience you have here at cs that would be a given.
Good luck in your search though. You seem like a wonderful woman who has it together.
Cyn_Real: not a big surprise anymore, Montse... and I can't understand why some guys demand high requirements from ladies while they have unlimited excuses for themselves...
I know there is no surprise lol but exactly what you wrote you can't believe the kind of message he wrote me and all of the sudden got mad because I resquested a pic, he was even asking me in details about my teeth, how many I have, what color they are and if I had braces and all lol I only wanted a pic, thank you for commenting Cyn

Well with all my years on the internet I can tell you that yes sometimes you can really know who is behind a profile with time, you share emails and then you can cam and then you can meet I tell you this because I have done it in the past. His email was a very good one it really got my attention but it was a disappointment to read that ugly last comment and I was not even rude to him, thank you very much for your comment and wishes you know I appreciate you

She's not only a wonderful woman but Montse is intelligent, kind, funny and she is the only person on my Friends List. We are both legal eagles.
It's not normal for Montse to let this character bother her. I think she just needed to vent. I don't blame her for being suspicious of someone who doesn't have a picture.

Montse.... lots of fish in the sea.
My dear Monte, sister, thank you for your beautiful words and you are right I am not bothered, I am curious to know how can some men think they can conquer a woman when they are so rude sometimes, they claim that they don't want demanding women but they love to demand from us, so in my stubborn head I can't seem to understand how that would work and I don't stay quiet meaning I stand for myself that doesnt necessarly means I am argumentative lol
Again thank you so much and yes I am proud to have you on my list of friends
DaytonaDude: Most of those guys take their picture down once they see mine, because they figure what's the use We can't compete with that incredibly handsome devil
I absolutely believe this Daytona you are such a hunk

He asked you about your teeth? Did he think he was buying a horse?
I think he was a salesman for Colgate. Maybe there's a new toothpaste on the market and he needs a pretty smile. No wonder he wants to know what color your teeth are

yeah probably Monte he actually asked me about everything and very detailed lol
i think the most important thing is being true to oneself.
if you require a pic..then that's fine. if someone does not wish to provide one..also fine. not much point in pretending to be someone else cuz sooner or later the real self appears and wants to be accepted... and that's the person you wanna be with..the one that accepts you as you are..he's the keeper.

I don't give out advise much anymore but I would say stay away from someone who wants to conquer you. Sounds controlling to me.
