Hi everyone new member just wondering if a photo really gets more hits on this site? I mean how do you know if the pic is really the person you are connecting with. Just would like some input I'm shy and not sure if I should post my pic or not. Any advice?help roll eyes

Welcome nurse.

You can never really tell who is truthful or not. Just teh chance a person has to take. But in any case, to me a pic helps. its always nice to see the face behind the words. But thats just me. Guess everyones differnt.

Good luck in your search, hope you have fun.

I have found that I get better respone's with a photo. When I first came onto dating site's I didn't have a photo and I wasn't having much luck. After I got a photo, thing's got way better. My advice, get a photo.

Hello and welcome wave


I agree. I think posting a photo helps ... I also think participating in the forums does too.

Good luck to you.

I think a picture is definitely helpful, unless you look like me. However, being a leaf fan would explain why you'd rather keep a low profile. Go SENS go!
Welcome aboard and be ready to be teased. Have fun with it.

Posting a picture definitely helps,....Men especially are more "visually" stimulated more so than what a really well written profile can do for them...lol

And you are right about the "picture" not really being themselves...that has happened alot, and of course will continue to do so...however...that is really defeating the purpose if that person is really on here to "find" someone doesn't it?...I mean eventually one has to meet for a relationship to progress...right??

It is definitely a waste of people's time and effort when "fake" people/pictures run rampant on a site...but its also one of the reasons that participating in a forum is good, you do get the benefit of getting to "know" someone beyond what is written on their profile, and then again there are those on here who have actually met others off this site...and in that case can vouch for those they have met as being "real"...laugh

Good luck...handshake

I totally agree with what you said Urs!

Yes, most definately does a picture make a difference when posting your profile......but make it a picture no older than a couple of months to recent.......LIKE TODAY, OR LAST WEEK!

It's when a pic is posted and it;s from 1902! doh

well, not really but you get what I am saying........

so start up that digital camera and take some REAL shots.....close ups of your face, smiling withOUT sunglasses+.....

AGAIN, (me with my sayings) take off your sunglasses so that I can hear you..................cool rolling on the floor laughing

I gave up on photos long time ago, why? because, people in person are different. I prefer to read their profile to see if they are interesting to me.

Those, that ask me for a photo and do not comment on my profile at all, just tell me they are..........

so to be my friend, send me a personal note and perhaps I can link you up to my album.dancing

I use to have a photo up, but I am looking for something in the profile of the writer that connects with me, and found that those that write to me, usually, have nothing in common with me. I don t think they even READ the profile first. So, I now choose to send photos directly to those I like.yay
