SO many profiles w/ no pics!! ( Archived) (121)

May 17, 2014 4:22 PM CST SO many profiles w/ no pics!!
I am not a superficial person, but seeing how we all have certain things that attract us to someone, I won't even click on a profile that doesn't have a profile pic. I want to see who I'm talking with.
I am surprised at the large volume of pic-less users! It sure cuts down on my search time, but also leaves me with less to choose from.
Does anyone else get frustrated by this?

It really doesn't bother me.

I feel it is a personal choice.

Once we have chatted for a while, and getting on well, then pics would be exchanged privately.

None of the people I went out on dates with had pics up on their profile.

only flaw with that is making sure you are talking to whom you think you are talking to...!

Absolutely yes, but if I have to choose between a profile with a model pic and a no pic.I choose a profile without a pic grin

It's not exactly about *model* pics, it's about seeing who u r talking with......and another point to that i have been burned before upon someone whom had no pic, i gave a HUGE benefit of the doubt to no avail
which ended up a debacle...so now i would neva fall into that scne again

Am not frustrated by it at all. I dont make contact or answer mails from people with no picture up though, experience has taught me that.

I'm at war with my fundamental belief/want/desire (if it's meant to happen) to meet my other half in a more traditional way like on a night out or even crossing the street rather than online . I enjoy the forums here and chatting to a few peeps via private mail but there are and have been moments when on my WVM list or just browsing the profiles on here , one profile would appear to stand out by what they say but have no photo so maybe just from a fleeting glance perspective yeah it can be a little frustrating .

Have I made any sense uh oh laugh

I do understand man, and I do agree 100% . But there are out there profile with model pictures too. So I just pointed out , between the two i'll choose profile with no pics. But it doesn't mean I agree with them. Actually I'm against.grin laugh

Its a personal choice.
The amount of pics that are stolen or years old outweighs the "real" people here.
Just because they have a pic up does not mean this is the person your talking too.
It bloody annoys me when people say that.mumbling

Skippyguy - perhaps she was married, or in a committed relationship? I often wonder if that's why some don't want their faces to show.

Thank you all for your comments!

I actually talked to a guy for quite some time, (on a different site), who had so many wonderful qualities, but no pic. After asking him for several weeks to please put up a pic, he did. He wasn't very attractive, but I didn't care because I liked him for the way he was. We actually went on a few dates and I enjoyed my time with him. He told me he couldn't see me any more because he felt he wasn't good looking enough for me...I found that sad. I told him he was fine, and I still wanted to see him, but he refused.

I've found you a true enough person and certainly *who you are*
hug

but i've had experiences in thinking the same and meeting people upon that so my opinion is based upon experience i'm sorry, but i do agree i think a fair few pics here are not quite...relevant ...laugh

Not really something i want to go into, and it happened some time ago
but this was way more than not showing a face, in fact a person i once talked to ten hours on a phone straight i don't think will ever be beaten...lol
