True or False: no photo means they're likely married or in a relationship. Any thoughts or experiences to share?

Couldn't be more false.

I tried to play psychic, but your picture doesn't tell me if YOU'RE married or not.

The expert game players will make certain everything is perfect.

I have to agree with Erin, False

There can be any number of reasons for not having a pic posted. One could be not having a scanner.......who knows.

I am meeting a woman this weekend who didn't have a pic posted. I got to know the person on the inside before she was comfortable enough (after about 2 weeks) to send me a pic.

I think false. There can be many reasons but that would not usually be one of them.

I responded to two ladies without pictures and their reasons were quite different. One aknowledged a very true fact that pictures can tell lies. How many of us could pick two pictures of ourselves that give totally different impressions?

The other lady was very enigmatic and was extremely difficult to find out anything about despite my persistance. Eventually she wrote a last mail to me that just stated that she was proud to be of the Inca race!

Well so she should be.

I think sadly she might have hesitated about a picture that showed her different ethnicity amongst all the caucasians on here.

So there could be as many reasons as there are faceless profiles.

Yeah, I think some people just aren't ready to advertise their presence yet. I thought of going faceless for a while...but then thought better of it. All a picture really tells you is how you appear in still life...I mean, there are some people who just look adorable in every photo, some people just look good in some photos and terrible in others, and some people just don't do photos. I'd rather they have no photos than other people's photos or a photo from years ago.

Good answer - not being able to tell from my photo what my status is. (I'm happily divorced.) Just that a good friend discovered that her boyfriend was online at lavalife.com pretending to be single - he hit on her sister - and we (rightly or not) figured anyone who won't post a photo doesn't want to be found out. I'll be optimistic. Thanks to all who posted for the good feedback. Cheers, J. wine

well now that is a very good question! I never thought of that ! but also it could be they don't want anyone to see what they look like which is very silly as it is nice to have a name to a face so to speak!

The reason I don't have a photo is because I believe that if a person is truly looking for someone they should take the time to read the profiles reguardless if there is a photo or not.

I don't have mine up because I would rather see if a lady really is interested enough by what she reads about me to make contact. I don't have a problem showing what I look like to a lady once we get to know eachother here.

My profile describs me. If a lady wants to see more I want it to be because there is real interest.

Personally I think most of us, me included cannot really get to know someone until we have a photo (hopefully real).
I do not feel there can be that many people who truly find everyone attractive. We all mostly have inbuilt likes and dislikes which we cannot even fully understand ourselves.
I have had men contact me many times without a photo and when I ask for one they say they will send one to my email address! While I don't believe everyone is deceitful, I do find this unfair. Would they always pick someone with a photo, or do they always look at people without too?
Some men have been a little too pushy, thinking that because I have allowed them to send a photo to my email address, I will automatically continue conversing with them, when I won't always.
