some individuals , for one reason or another , choose not to publicly display a profile picture , and thankfully , cs has an e card facility where members can share a photo in private .
yet it seems that trying to get a picture out of some people is like trying to get blood out of a stone . i get requests for personal info , such as my mobile number or email address so they can send me a picture there !
has any one else come across this and has any one any suggestions as to why people would be so reluctant to share a picture , even in private on site ?

They might be shy.
They may be in a relationship,.
They may not feel comfortable with their pic up because he might have dated hundreds,lol,
Work reasons,
They might not feel confident displaying themselves in front window of the shop on here,lol,
It could be a way of getting your email address or phone number.

ive had several and usually if they wont send a picture on site , i wish them the best and leave them at that as i find it strange to converse with a faceless person ! i dont know if thats a bit harsh
peachmelba: Yes I know what you mean ,I have chatted to a man that was faceless reluctant to send their pic,
It's happend afew times and with you also,
Yes I say send it to my ecards because like most of us we don't want to be giving out our telephone number.
It's mad isnt it.
it kind of makes you question who they are exactly and also why they bother sending a message when they know people will want to see who they are talking to .

I don't want to judge but I'd say alot that won't put up their pic in ecards or on site are just messing around,could be they in a relationship but wouldn't actually act on it as meeting up but are just content to try flirt .i think the way social media is these days with lots dating sites etc makes it alot more excess able for a man or woman to just go on line and flirt ,yes I know couple who have trusting relationships everything fine wouldn't do that but it's just more tempting lets say as some might think its just a laugh, Yes I know it's not but to them they think it is,

Think I look stupid with that bat hat on me now,Halloween over ,I'm just going to change it,
Good thread ellimere,
.
Hey don't mind those faceless ones but like you I get curious and want to know why,

Just my opinion ellimere.
there is some of that going on for sure , weve all come across it. some guys are honest and say they are looking for extra curricular activities , while i think its wrong , i appreciate their honesty !
mollybaby: I don't mind faceless people. That is their choice.
But if there is private emailing going on, with a view to meeting, then pictures should be exchanged.
in my experience people who are reluctant to share even private photos , have very little intentions of meeting !
im just wondering if im not giving them enough of a chance . when should you cut your losses. i usually ask twice for a picture through e cards and if they insist on obtaining my email / number .. i just wish them luck
fifitrixibelle: mine just cant pass the ugly filter
I love your hair, similar to my own
I don't have a picture up, I think if you are serious about meeting someone off here then a picture is better as it cuts out the old rejection that comes when pictures are shared.

They may be even reluctant to post pics on ecards
Why not set up a separate email account for this purpose.
They might feel better about sending it there, and you will lose out on nothing.

If they wanted to give you a picture they could, they don't need your phone number or email its easy enough on here. I've had the same requests and when they say oh I can't use e-card, I said no bother and leave it at that. lol Though one way around it is to set up a email just for that, without your real name or anything in it, then they have no more excuses and have no further details on you.

maybe it is just me (okay it probably is just me) but I get the creeps when people want to email me on private email.....

it would help , i use dating apps as well and its quite rare you would find someone with no picture on them !
