If someone doesn't have photos in their profile, for me means he wants to hide something (relationship status, real intentions). And really do not get answers like i don't have a close up or something like that. There is such a thing like web cam after all. Am i too suspicious?

Yes I do;I've been keeping in touch with a sweet and caring friend,hi Darrin for almost four years now.I have no idea what he looks like and that shouldn't matter.He asks about me,he cares about me as I do him.Fourth anniversary coming up Darrin,thank you Sweetie for your friendship.

I would avoid most of them - they usually have something to hide and it's usually being very ugly or a troll with spoof profile(s). There are exceptions of course - a few.

However, if I were to meet the person, I'd surely like to see him first. I mean, how would I know him when I stepped off the plane? I might end up with someone else.

Perhaps you should consider hiding your photo too?

I have in the distant past sent emails to people who i thought had put something in there emails that i thought of interest even though they DID NOT have a foto on there profile andi did recieve replys back ,, most of what i see on profiles that interests me is iff they have the same interests as myself ,,in my case its music and as they say is also theres to ..
Most of my mail i send is just the pleasentries of the day and normal chit chat ,,without anything else i consider to be juevenile smutt in a cyber world ,but most picturless profiles seem to taper off after a while ,,even after private emailing ??
A female friend of mine in the reality world has a friend who runs another national site and his view of picturless profiles on his site is that most are married ..
This maybe the case for some ,but me personaly would still like to think that this wasnt the case in all situations and maybe they have other good reasons for doing so ...
i find the regular posters on the forums with no pic as much fun and just as genuine as those with pics. but in my mailbox etc.. they have obviously not read my profile properly and they get no answers.

there are many reasons why people do not put photos up...mine at present is no up to date photos. They might want to maintain privacy due to knowing people on this site, they might be shy or lacking in self confidence. I have replyed to people without photos and yes it would be nice to see what they look like, but then i am getting to know their true personality not biased on looks.
it depends on how you view things i guess i would however like to see them before i met up with them......i havent got that far yet only been on since friday!

I think people who dont give a reason for contacting another person by not mentioning something that was in the other persons profile are a bit thoughless to start with ,, whats the point of contacting someone iff you mite not have anything in common with them except one just likes the other persons foto .?

Hi , no disrespect to you ,like my past posts on here said ,it doesnt bother me iff they have a pic up or not ,iff there interests are the same its nice to chat ,, but iff it was my intention to meet someone then a picture would have to be in the package ,, and not just a pic but a web cam intro as well ,especialy iff like some on all these sites have done ,travelled 100s of miles iff not 1000s to meet someone who realy isnt them ...
I have no reason to disbealeave you when you say you have no up to date pics as yet but iff you are going to put some up then do it without to much of a delay , i say this because some use that as just another excuse ,, thats what the cyber can be like ..

Is it not up to an individual to make the decision to post or not post pictures for themselves without having others make assumptions of some type of an excuse? Truly what difference does it make except to those that this person would be corresponding with and trying to get to know on a more personal level. Then I would say that a picture would be in order, otherwise there truly is no need to share.

Hello , i realy dont have a problem with someone having no pics up , there are all types of legitimate reasons ,, i wouldnt stop me contacting them ,like my past posts have said ,, but iff the correspondanse headed for a meeting then its best to know exactly who your meeting ,, do you agree ?
I had my pic up on another site once and a person in this town that I had dated...(and still wanted to date me) saw it and embarrassed me with his comments.
Now, I don't give a flying
If the person continues to refuse to send a pic, then make your decision and 'don't have a pic' is not a good reason after you've been chatting for awhile. You can always get a picture taken.

Yes, I do agree and said that.
My point, was, why would someone need to put pictures up within a certain time frame in order to not come across as having an excuse? I guess perhaps I don't read into that they have an excuse - its simply their choice.
Doubt I will put a picture in profile and it is just my choice with living in a small town but if someone accepts or makes contact and would like to talk I am happy to share pictures. I guess that has to be good enough for now.
Some people do not like there photo out on the internet, so they do not post them. You'd might be very surpised to find out who sits behind that white, female, male symbol. Many gladly share photos after knowing, creating a friendship, and I've made beautiful friends.

Yes i agree ,, i also can accept reasons by some who are in a situation and wont put them up ,not aimed at you or others on this thread ,but legitemate reasons can start to get gelled into the murky side of the cyber world ,
