I am just wondering why so many men on here (loads of British men!!) don't put a photo on their profile. I, for one, tend to ignore the profiles without photos, just because I think it's strange! After all, they say that your eyes are the windows to your soul! I know that you can't judge a book by it's cover, but it's nice to see someone's face when you are messaging them or reading about them.
Juneau: do you mean you wouldn't even consider someone without a photo?
The last One I accepted on another sight, she sent me her photo after about a week of emailing her. Well, After seeing her photo YIKES! She was wearing a hood and looked like a man.

One could ask the same question about women. In the case of men, it's probably equal shares of laziness, lack of creative/artistic aptitude and/or detail-orientation, and/or an unwillingness to show how fat/homely/etc. they truly are.
I think I may have broken the record for using slashes above....

I have a dream: every person on a singles site will post completely clear photos in a variety of poses and angles that will reduce doubt about their appearance to a minimum.
Englishman55: Based on the fact that I have posted the maximum alllowed photos... it makes no difference...
You ladies think that a photo will give the true meaning of a man !.... I don't think so
You´re right. There are also many women who don´t post a picture incidentally, so the question shouldn´t really be directed to men only.
Some people really do have valid reasons for not doing so, and I´m considering removing mine. Partly because I´m no longer interested in finding a partner here, but mostly because I´m a little worried about how easy it is for people to steal and use the photos we post for dubious reasons.

scorpiochi: well the british ones spend all their money getting there teeth fixed and don't have money for a camera .
No the british get by confidently enough with their wit, charm, personality,intelligence and humility. When women see the photos, it is an added bonus.

No true meaning. It simply shows that you're taking the process seriously. No photos means you're not caring enough to make a reasonable effort at conveying whom you are to your potential demographic.

Yes - there are an awful lot of women that dont' put photos on either. May be I should do another poll for ladies!!

Hi, It's true that many people dont have their picture posted but eventhough they did who knows that it's their own picture? There are many guys who post pictures which are not even theirs... How do u find out?

BlainX: Answer.
Building interest with someone without a photo sets you up to have to reject them if they don't appear as you hoped?
ACKWARD!
Usually after a few decent mail exchanges on here if they are genuine then photos are exchanged through regular email in my experience. If that does not happen then there is something fishy.

Sometimes you can do an image search on the net . If it's a scammer it will come up .

Because CS gives us the option to do this, they give us a choice to either do or don't rather than dictating saying you must have a picture or you cannot join. We as individuals also have the choice to state in our profiles that we will not contact persons without a picture etc. Why we chose not to have pictures can be for many reasons. Perhaps privacy being one of many.
