I myself read all profiles; however, I was on here for quite some time without a photo, and anyone hardly ever said hello.

Yes I have done, because I´m more curious about them.

There are many valid reasons why people don´t want to post a pic. I had a date with one and he was very good looking, not such a good personaiity though. sigh

bodleing: Doesn't matter to me. I usually look at a profile because they've had something interesting to say on the forums.

Idle curiosity I guess.

Everything that comes across my desk, so to speak. I read some things very carefully and skim other things. Some stuff I like to read again and again. Depends...

I am with you on that one...90% of the time...they aren't serious or have something to hide..My fav response to no photo on profile is this on, "I am in the public eye, and want to remain private, but I will email them to you"...YEAH RIGHT!rolling on the floor laughing ...So, go with your instincts on this one. Most cases it is correctgrin

Recently, I wrote to a profile without a picture. What she wrote was very eloquent, but also very demanding. Actually she expressed much more about what she wanted, and very little about herself. She'd set some very high standards, both physically and otherwise. I fell short of the kind of the kind of superman she was looking for - but I wrote anyway. I'd assumed that someone who can set such high standards must be pretty special themselves.

I don't wish to be unkind (It's ok, she's not on this site), but my assumptions were wrong in all respects. It wasn't just that I wasn't attracted to her picture. ( Ok, maybe I'm shallow, and I don't mind a woman with a little meat on her bones - but there are limits ).

I think the moral of the story is that first the golden rule: It's not so much what you WANT in a partner, it's about what YOU have that will attract him/her. While hiding behind the internet can gain you an advantage initially, it's based on misinformation, you're just wasting time - and you'll get found out in the end.

Very insightful observation, and I think true to form in most cases, not all..but most cases. Moral of the story...hole

i recognized some profiles in forums is same person but possess two or three profiles in this website, they are woman who pretend to be a man, they are men who pretend to be woman, sometimes they use profile without photo, why hv to do like that, if doing like that equal to telling a lie, but i see they always talk very good words in forum, but for me all is zero if u tell a lie, no compromise for lie words, what do you think about this issue.

I can understand peoples views on not having a picture would mean they have something to hide...but i can also understand the point of view of the person not wishing to post a pic.
Some people may find it demeaning to post a pic of there mug in order to attract someone, some people believe it shouldnt be about appearance.
Now if they are missing a personality too i think its an issue. laugh

p.s I keep losing my posts

venusenvy: Or hiding something


Or we realize that chemistry is a completely Internal concept, and secondly no one ever has false pics or aged ones where they look nothing like they do now, and thirdly how has this picking by looks worked so far???

Hmmmmmmm people who try the same failing concepts over and over again, there is a word for that, so trying something different.
