Why do so many men not put a photo of themselves on their profile? (119)
krisha: hi riz,merry christmass
Hi Beautiful,
Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year, hope all your dreams come ture
Kalimera: Fair enough but do you not think a bit more on your profile moght balance that out? Ok I have no pic but no pic and one line on a profile? not a lot to go on.
well that's how it goes and you sure can pic up on a personality by how a person speaks and interacts here can't you? I'm not looking for anything and am not sure I quite know what to say on a profile....
Juneau: 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.
I am just curious to know!
The more photos the better I say!
the same reason why woman dont.I am just curious to know!

I would like to think that they just have not gotten around to it, but I think that a few reasons are they already have someone and looking outwards to something new and exciting or maybe some are too afraid to show how they really look cuz they lack confidence.....I show my pic and have gotten mixed comments anything from WOW your hot! to eww your not my type :( I do think that there is someone for everyone and if you have nothing to hide then show yourself and do it PROUDLY!
Have to just say those with no pic get no support....wanna get together with me you gotta give me hint to your outside that is what teases me to wanna know the inside of you! shallow perhaps but my personal experience says, " do not take the pig in the sack"

SatelliteServer: I could not care what people thought of me not having a photo on here I have posted it before but due to the high profile position of my work it is better tat I keep the photo of the Net completely
So you're the Canadian Prime Minister???
Hi J,
I agree, I rarely bother with a profile without a photo. Some barely write any text about themselves. Most computers these days have web-cam; why not take a photo with that? I did. Now the comics will post that it shows.

face...

While the title of the poll applies to men w/o photos , there are also quite a few women on here with no photos and very little profile info. I will not reply or respond to these. Most, no doubt have some sort of hidden agenda!

Further to that...it's not 'shallow', 'superficial' or 'judgemental', it's just part of the natural laws of attraction. Nothing more, nothing less. I know there are those in positions where it would be unwise to do so. So be it. For the rest of us it is just good manners. Perhaps an anachronism these days.
I rarely answer those that don't have a photo as it always makes me think that they may have something to hide. But the few I have answered have all said they don't want to put a photo up as they don't want to be recognised by friends and teased. But I would ask....why are those same friends looking on a dating website if they think it is so embarrassing!?
I think most men dont want their mates to discover that they got hooked on some site.It takes man to admit he cant meet a woman on the streets n ask her out,most are shy or not confident.........

How do we know if they are really men? maybe they have ugly faces?
I'm an internationally wanted handbag thief. if people recognised my photo, I'd have at least 25 women mailing me, trying to get their bags back...
Any cute babes want a date?..You may not get dinner, but I've got some really cool handbags for you!

Actually, meeting someone on the street isn't the problem for most, it is the lack of availability in some localities. Here, there is plenty of club action if you're into the bar scene, but that gets old after a while, not to mention the harsh DUI laws here
which can result in thousands of dollars in fines and jail time..
Being on a dating site such as CS at least gives you a more diverse, broader range of people to meet.
Lostrebel: Thats why I don't have a photo up......
You care what your mates think is more important than spending time with a lady? As Shakespeare might have put it, "get ye hence to a gay club knaves"

And it means you can get absolutely bladdered and not worry about having to drive home
Englishman55: And it means you can get absolutely bladdered and not worry about having to drive home
Exactly!
Lostrebel: well you sorta lost me with this post ...but don't worry I am sure it's me....
No, it's not you, just my strange sense of humour. I retract that statement owing to poor taste. I mean, from my point of view (and that's all it is), trying to find a ladyfriend, or spending time with ladies has a far higher priority than what my mates might think about using a site such as this. If they think such an avenue is risible, then they're not really true friends. Do you not agree?

A lot of my friends though I was really dumb to engage in internet dating....but it worked for me and I am sure it will work for others as well....my advise would be is just be active here and not take things to heart....I Have a good sense of humor ...some don't get me but thats ok ....the one that did was all I needed.... Englishman55: And it means you can get absolutely bladdered and not worry about having to drive home
'bladdered'...that's a new one.
Synonyms for 'drunk': blitzed; pissed; stonkered; hammered; blotto; smashed; one-eyed, and now 'bladdered'. I like it!
venere08: So you're the Canadian Prime Minister???
Your goood

I know you've a good sense of humour, I've cried laughing at some of your posts.
Some of my friends thought this was a little sad, but they're single as well. One of them has joined another site here in Australia after learning that I've been making new female friends. Furthermore, interacting with other people on this site has boosted my confidence and self-esteem. gazz101: dont forget,, sh..t faced, totaled,and wiped out
Hey Gazza
how are you mate? Have a good Christmas?Hey nice one, I forgot those. Do you like Bladdered? Never heard it before.

Well all I can say is it is a very big world out there ...but with modern things as the internet and airplane it is getting smaller all the time.....and just so all ya'll know I did have a photo up but my puter crashed and I lost all my photos...but I planned to get a couple up in the next week or so......bet ya'll can hardly wait huh....

I am just curious to know!

I think its alot of different reasons, I have talked to guys online that have no pic, and when i ask why they dont, they say cuz they think they are unattractive, and send me a pic in email, and most of the time , they are unattractive, to me. that dont mean another lady wouldnt think they were handsome. I have a couple friends online that are teachers , cops, etc, that i have talked to for a couple years and they have no pics because of their jobs, I have talked to other ones that are married and think they are going to find some action on dating sites without their wives knowing, which is pretty low to me. and then you have ones that do not have cameras, and others that are not computer literate enough and dont know how to scan and put their pics on the comp. I think the ones i dislike the most are the ones that put a pic of a dog or a mountain or a flower, etc... as their profile pic, i dont click on those at all, it just seems like such a silly thing to do, thats the ones that make me feel like they are hiding something. But to each their own.
