Why are there so many people on here without pictures posted? I decided this morning that I would give these people the benefit of the doubt and read a few profiles. Some of them sound nice and all, but my interest level just bottoms out. Is it me? Am I shallow?

hi Aine66,
When I first came on I didn't post one..I have some friends,that say they want to be judge from the inside first..I admire that..people who judge from the out side in can be shallow..But the same people who dont post say after the person is interest in them as a person..They would be happy to send the interested party a picture..I am one who wants someone to love the in side..(ME) rather for the way I look..beauty is only skin deep..(picture or not there good people) It's nice meeting..and Good luck on your search...

Kat,
Your right there are some amazing people here at cs..I believe it come down to the individual,to take the chance or not..You seem like a wonderful person yourself just to be asking..Chance
Kat, I totally agree with u. I really dont bother with pictureless profiles. We're all putting ourselves out there I think that its off putting when a person cant for whatever reason post a pic. Its not shallow, its just that people like to be able to visualise the person they are mailing. Its a simple, basic human thing.

Personaly i'm very coutious about profiles without pics. I want to see the face ... And Hey!!!!!!! there are Libraries everywere where you can scan your pics for FREE ... At least in Canada... have a great afternoon everyone Marina:^)
I prefer to have a picture because it helps me connect with the person I'm communicating. They're also setting themselves up for disappointment if someone asks them for a picture and then decides there's no chemistry there.
Let's face it, looks matter to some extent because there usually has to be some sort of physical attraction.
I totally agree with the physical connection side. If it's not there for me then I don't want to go any further. The thing is, no matter what you look like, there is someone for everyone. So why not post the pic, and let the flowers come in!
I wish some men would reply.
There are alot of male profiles without pics. I havent' browsed the female profiles to see if there are as many without pics.
This online dating thing allows us to be very specific is out criteria for the "perfect match", why wouldn't looks be included in that?
actually thats not fresh enough.... could you upload new pics every 30 minutes? and dont worry about photoshopping the ones of you in the shower.... were all adults here
But honestly. I will read some profiles without pictures if there is something that catches my attention.
But I am more drawn to profiles with pictures. No offense to anyone but I need to have a physical attraction along with being attracted personality wise etc...

I would just like to say,I didn't mean if you just look at the ones with pictures your shallow.. I'm trying to say,what if some of these people are afraid,or bashful,or own business in the communicity they work in and by posting it harms them in their everyday life...what if they divorce someone who abused them or their children.yet their looking to start they're life over.and want to be a little discreet for what ever reason..I beleive the profiles you look at or a person choice..I give only ann explaination of why some might not post..but still might be wonderful people..and if their willing to send a photo.to you wouldn't that be fair..chance
