I think some people might work at a place where they get recognized easy. Some may be teachers and don't want to face the risk to be seen by a pupil/student, they could be victims of some mean jokes.
Others are maybe just starting out. I believe there are many reasons, not just one. And I doubt that many people really think about, whether they are good looking or not.
Others have no interest to show their pic to us all, they'd rather share it in private.
But what get's me, is when they have a profile without information and no pic.. how is that going to work?

hi people, most people whom have no pics, especially people from ivory coast in africa or surrounding areas ie nigeria are usually scammers.i dont know whether or not you may agree with me here but do u see what i mean,xx

And I am (pleasantly) surprised to see so many very attractive females with the confidence and nerve enough to have their photos out, especially when one considers the probable amount of unwanted and un0needed email deluges from "the weirdo class" of males; the usual assortment of typical stereotypes of neanderthalsn perverts,predators, etc, With this happening to females on so many "singles sites" I tend to give those without photos, the proverbial benefit of the doubt; many, I'm sure, would feel exposed to those disgusting types.And yes, I'm sure that quite a few of those types have their photos up also, to "impress the ladies" and will not comprehend "rejection" by any female. Another good point that someone mentioned is that "scammers" won't, usually put up a photo, but Russian ones will and even switch photos on people and other websites.Always err on the side of Caution.

hell-o to all. I strongly agree with the fact that a photo is needed with a profile ... as for myself ..even if I think it is the best profile I have ever read if it does not have a photo I will not respond and I will delete it.... I have no intentions of waiting for a photo to be downloaded and sent .or the promise of one being taken after we chat for a week or two. If you are honestly looking for someone and really want to start a friendship ,relationship or even meet for coffee then you will post a photo...besides how would I know who I'm looking for when we meet if I have not seen a photo.
The absence of a photo is a sign of secretcy and the tendency of dishonesty..NOT A WAY TO START A FRIENSHIP ,RELATIONSHIP OR ANYTHING ELSE.

I agree with the lovely Paula, and I would point out
that there are companies listed online and in phone
books which will digitize and upload photographs
for people lacking scanners or digital cameras.
It is worth a few bucks to have a nice digital
photo handy for places like these. That someone
like Steve, ahem! would have photos and chose not
to put them up, dammit, makes us very suspicious of
a guy who is going to date our beloved Lisa, Steve!

It is all just data, just information, something
to help us make choices. Personality data from
conversations, from postings, may be better -- it is
hard to fake a sense of humor, hard to fake wit,
intelligence education, or to disguise their opposites.
Having said all that, what Paula said is exactly
right. You should post a picture. It give additional
data, which we can compare with the personality
data. It is discourteous to us all not to do so,
an argument you as a young man will disregard
completely, I am sure, but it also casts suspicion
on you, and that is just bad tactics. It is always
better to remain above suspicion when it is easy to
do so, since there will be times when you have to
do dubious things, and you might need a good name.
Don't gloat over having met a beautiful girl here.
You have not won her yet. You should do everything
you can to be a good guy now, so if at some point
the balance is almost evenly loaded for and against
you, the tiny little details overlooked not might
not count against you. Paula is right and she is not
the first to make this argument. Indeed, the photos
are part of membership in this community, and you
are acting like you don'r really belong here, which
is not good, because Lisa feels she does.

the reason i'm not putting a pic up is because i don't know if i'm staying here or not,i'm not a concieted git who puts a pic up and says hey look at me everyone and then takes it down again as u suggested in another thread,and yes i am gloating on meeting a beautiful girl on here why not any decent red blooded male would.

I deny dissing Steve21 or stabbing him in the back,
period. I have complimented him on these postings
in private messages to Lisa. I was the one who
suggested she phone him up. I have done nothing
to warrant his THREATS. I would appreciate it if
he just stop talking like that. No discussion is
needed, I am not asking for an apology, because that
would be a discussion, no more posts, please, but
I insist that Steve has it quite backwards, I have
done quite a lot to help him, and indeed this attempt
to get his picture up was also an attempt to help
him -- I certainly don't like looking a men's pix,
myself. I just want his rep to be better. So stop
it Steve, I know this is probably nerves on your part,
because of meeting Lisa on Tuesday. I understand that.

u repeatedly diss my hopeful relationship with lisa.

If you think I repeatedly diss your hopeful
relationship with Lisa, I will quote you from
postings I have made. You might quote from
ones advising caution, which I proudly agree
I made, but I also told Lisa in postings how
I thought you were a good guy and hoped it would
work out, etc.

no actually it's a very good reason if me and lisa hit it off do you really think i want to stay here with you biting my head off,
------ This thread is Archived ------
You know, you are really pissing me off, man,
you go read my posts with an open mind, and you'll
see that I have done a lot to help you and have
only advised caution, that is all, while repeatedly
telling Lisa I thought you a good guy. That is a
matter of record, and you should check up on that.
It is scattered over several threads, but I can
retrieve it for you if you want.

I have been doing internet dating or attempting it for several years now and it just confuses me why so many people do not put their pictures on their profiles. First of all, people with pictures get way more responses and views. Second of all, it makes me think that they are hiding something or are afraid to show what they look like. You might as well let others know what you look like so there are no surprises or sadly to say waste of time on each others part if there is no attraction between the two people. I was just wondering what everybody else thought of this topic.
