I am a very visual type of guy. Pictures are important to me. Just like in real life and the real world we base initial impressions on what we see.
Do you form your impressions of people's posts based on how they look?

Sometimes...have you seen the pictures of some of these people. This is a big world and the internet represents all of it. Some normal and some not so normal. Looks matters!
Tulefel: Afraid of his ex?
As if it’s not enough that he is ugly, so now he is a coward as well...

Who was that comment aimed at please?
Tulefel: I don’t think it’s shallow to want to know what your contact looks like. I have my photo here, and I expect the same courtesy from my contacts. And I don’t want to know the reasons why they don’t have their picture here: they contact me mostly because of my picture, so let’s keep things equally, won’t we? What would be a reason for me to communicate with an empty square? It reminds of sending signals to an outer space, and so desperate I am not.
I don’t expect that there are lots of movie stars from Hollywood on this site, people here look like people everywhere. But I want see the face I’m writing to, otherwise...
...no picture – no answer.

I'm with you hun
ladichatterlee: This is me, just without makeup.
– Are you married?
– No, just haven’t had time for make-up this morning
Merriweather: I dont want to see a blank pic... I want to see a real photo..
I know that people dont want to show photos but this is a dating site, and sorry if I dont get excited by a blank face.
I wont email a blank face either... Its just like looking at a blank wall. ... which doesn't excite me either...
I have a pic, and every so often I change it.. I consistently look like me... I expect honesty from myself, therefore from others too.

It was the answer to the post above mine: the high-lighted with blue colour words, particularly. Meant as a joke.
I have pictures and won't talk to someone who doesn't
At least not after a couple emails that is. I think that people are just too self conscious is all

I will not communicate away from the Forums Threads with someone who doesn't have a picture(s).

As a rule, I do not, but I have done so. I enjoyed our initial dialogue very much. It was light and fun, and within a couple of weeks, amidst much hilarity over the issue of the blank face, he sent me his photo to my private email addy. Then when I was overseas last year, we finally met and spent about a week together.
If I had made a hard and fast rule for myself, I would have missed out on a very special time.
scousedon: I get curious how someone might look, might sound shallow but think it is human nature to be curious as to physical appearance.
I agree and I feel If I go to the trouble of exposing myself in the public arena so should a guy....normally if someone wont show themselves on here they are usually hiding something from someone....and dont tell me there not I dont believe any of it....

This is what makes life interesting. We each get to make the rules we decide to live by. I am happy and glad it worked for you. As for me I will miss out on these moments. I don't want to invest my time in a blank screen.

I have corresponded with men who don’t have their picture here, and as rule is the correspondence was dull.
There was an exception, but only one, when a “faceless” correspondent was a very interesting and pleasant man.
The issue is that I cannot communicate with people without knowing what they look like: if there is no picture, I imagine his features. And of course, I can’t guess right. But I get used to “see” him as I’ve imagined him, not as he looks like in reality. When and if it will come to a date face to face... it wouldn’t lead to anything else but disappointment, as a real person is never alike an image. Sure, a photo will never give the whole picture of a person, and there’s a matter of photogenity as well – some people look better on a photo than in reality, some worst...
But still, I think that a photo on a dating site is something one should have.
i was chatting to a lady once (this was before i had uploaded my pic), and we were talking shop (she is into technical stuff, im into technical stuff)
and she asked me to upload a pic (i was just being lazy..i dont have anything against it)
so i went to some other sites..opened photoshop..imported, uped and croped..and i uploaded the file
and the conversation was something like..
me : its uploaded, refresh ur browser
she: ok its loading...
me: ok can u see it now?
she: .........
ok i know im not the pretiest guy on the planet..but at least if ur talking to someone...cant u read their profile first??
Ethnicity: Asian !!!!!!!!
ah well...
this (hopefully) answers ur question ...at least in a roundabout way

I do agree with you.

Ah, but there is never a blank screen. There can be many words on that screen.
For me, if I am captivated by those words, I connect.
From then on, I simply take it, word by word.
Never wasting time though. I have wasted much time with one or two people who had a photo. Many, many weeks of time. Photos are no magic antidote to time wasting.
