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?

Yes ! really annoying, in fact recently i had a message mentioning my profile, and then she went on to say she had no pic up, i asked why to no explanation...then a pic appeared for like 10 mins then was gone again......i'm like....whats the point...

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

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

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 .

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.
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.
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*
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 ...

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
