why not read the profile without photo, there is nothing wrong for the profile w/o photo, they might be a good person or a bad person,... that will be okay and dont care about that.
MilanaSw: Just curious to know. For myself I think that if person doesn't want to show face - he/she is not serious.
I don't read profiles, as a rule. Never have the time and not much inclined to. The very few I have read are from way back when, of those I have become good friends with, of course.
I read some profiles with no pictures, but only if they are on the forums. If they don't have some kind of picture of themselves, I think they are trying to hide something or embarrassed of themsleves, For me, I like a person to be who they are. If you can't post a photo because your to ashamed someone you know might see it then your not for me anyway. Just my thoughts about it, Take it for what its worth.
Not usualy sometimes when I have seen the person before and I know who they are. I do read them sometimes. I really do not read many profiles. Just mail and forums. After I get to know someone i read their profile. Kinda like reading a magazine from the back first.

A person with out a photo may be a recognizable, face from movies or t.v. These folks are people too. Everyone seems to be interested in socializing, hooking up, Marriage Love and like me tradition. I have four kids never married. Still thinking I just will probably get married and of course live happily ever after!

african: Total waste of time because that person does not want to be seen and thats the reason they dont have a photo.
No nO no that is making an assumption. I want to post new pics. I have lost thirty pounds and what you all to see how much healthier I have gotten. Be,ieve it or not. Do not know how to change or post photos. My kids won't help me. They do not want to lose me to a husband or even a date. My girlfriend who is the wiz on the computer in a different city. Now ,Now folks You know what they say about assumptions. Everyone has one. have a gtreat day Or is that opinions Tee HEE
On second and third thought. My house is paid for the bills are paid, The only thing no fruit, vegetable, toilet paper or cherios. I am going to look forward to reading the profiles who are way over 150,000. I have four kids and expensive taste. I really love my cheerios and toilet paper. I know is seems greedy . The toilet paper comes in so handy. I usually do not need the paper if i do buy the cheerios . I have to feed my mom adnd kids though.

in some cases this may be true, in my case i had a pic on here a year ago, i met people that did have pics some where who they said they were, others the pic was from high school or something. i also met some fine friends that didnt have a pic, and they were who they said they were and much more. how many of us judge ones character on looks, i certinly dont. for the record i'm considered a good looking guy, get to know ME' who i am, not just a picture.
I would'nt have a problem with no pics, but I would be looking at the free text with interest...sloppy use of language and an obvious difference in interests is a non starter...ive had a few really good chats with "non visuals"...lets face it, most of us will eventually settle down with people relativly close to home...so why let it be a concern what someone on the other side of the planet looks like if there profile is sound in other respects?..JMHO...LZ..

While what you say is true about knowing the person and not just going by looks. the sad reality of it is, there has to be some kind of physical attraction there. When you first see someone, do you look at them the same as you would anyone else? You see a middle aged, slighty overweight woman walking down the street, do you see her the same as the hot model magazine type? While its very true that whats on the inside is the most important thing, you have to remember that without the physical attration, you will never go past the friends stage.

But yet many say it is not. I however beg to differ, we all have our preferences as to what draws us physically to a person. And it is that attraction, that ultimately leads us to futher development of a relationship, even if it is just a casual fling ding, or something of a more permanent nature.

i do agree, but the original question was about someone without a pic not being serious, in my instance i came back on after several months to reconnect with some friends i developed on here in the forums, i do disagree about the supermodal thing tho, sure i wouldnt date the elephant man/ woman we could be friends, but for me the the over-riding factor in attractiveness in how someone carries them self. so i guess my point in the whole picture debate, i'm here to have fun in the forums and if i meet women fine, by the way i was on here for 2yrs previously with and without pic and became friends with some lovers with some. and not a supermodal in the bunch, just some damn fine people.

I agree on that. First impressioan out of the look at least shows that there no repulsion and then it becomes more possible to start communication. Some people are smart, no doubts, and they may become good friends after a while. But if you are looking for soulmate - you have to know that her/his look appeals to you.

i am curious to see your photo posting, and will be very disappointed & upset for a profile posting a handsome face but it is just a fake photo, and the profile w/o photo will be thought better than for that case.
Been reading some picture less profiles that has shown quite some serious thoughts from a person.. as well as read a few profiles from people with pictures that has been.. well .. nothing

agree with you. I have a choice, not to show my pic. However I am not pretending to be who I am not. Some people are a lot older and less taller than what they claim to be. To each his own!

it's a bit tragic and sad where people are in such desperate need of affirmation that they would lie about themselves only to get approval.. It must somehow be eating at them unless they actually thrive on deceiving others..
