I normally upload my photos when I come online and delete them when I am offline. I don’t do this because I am hiding and not even for privacy – I simply do it because it helps me to control who I interact and exchange mails with. It may sound a bit vain or selfish to say this but I have found out that I avoid getting lewd or spam mails by not leaving my photos 24/7. The few good friendships that I have formed here interact with me by google video chat or skype which at the end of the day for me is a much better connection than a picture image. After all this is what I am here for – to hopefully find someone that I can connect with not just by an image but also by voice and video communication and eventually a face to face meeting.

Ziusudra: Generally the quality of women here on CS are plain Janes not supermodels.


I actually prefer plain Janes to supermodels.

I have nothing against physical beauty.
But I prefer humility and simplicity to vanity.

Just food for thought here.

I've talked with a lot of Muslim women who wear veils over their hair (not their faces). And the reason they like the veils is because it gives them more control over the nature of their relations with men. I suspect that its similar to the reason some people prefer not to post photos on dating sites.

Circleofflame: Are you sick of seeing hundreds of profiles without photos? Are you tired of page after page of maybe two or three photos, with the rest black and white drawings? This is the poll for you!
In my opinion, everyone should be Required to have a photo with their profile!


That is a dumbazz question! People don't have to put a picture up if they don't want to. Don't look at profiles without photos easy peasy. There are so many reasons why people don't put them up.

I respect your opinion - however this is a free sight. What are you expecting with free if you start putting in restrictions?

I am actually "sick" of seeing profiles with fake photos.

I love the black and whites and other types because it is indicative of the person's character and interests - which to me is real.

MADDOG69: Me. I've reported literally hundreds (of scammers)... maybe even a thousand or so.


And did it change anything??? No.

Even if they get banned from the site, the same scammer will be back within 30 minutes with a new name, photo, and IP number.

On the internet it's always "let the buyer beware".
There's no way around it.

It takes less effort to report them than it does for them to make a new profile. Don't be so lazy, Ray.

Yes, but you have to wear it backwards.

When I joined here first I wasnt bothered if a person had a picture up or not. However I have found that every guy I was contacted by with no pic had something to hide, thats everyone without exception,so now its strictly, no pic, no reply.

Don´t know if it´s that important, they can be fake. However, at least you have the initial choice of liking how they look or not. Pretty promptly I would require verification of their existence.... i.e. cam. Then it´s down to your personal taste whether you proceed further.

Funny how ordinary-ness seems to be the rule and exceptional-ness seems to be the exception.
