May have had his WVM turned off.


Why come on a dating site and read all the filled out profiles, not fill out your own, and gripe when ppl don't show any interest. Beggars belief. There is nothing there to be interested in.

I have no photo, and I hope people will read my profile at least before judging on my non-photoness. It makes me sad when they pass me by...I mean, if they want a photo, they just have to ask!

If you don`t mind sending someone ,who you don`t know, and just because he`s read your profile, your picture..... what`s the big deal about posting it here

Yes, I write them back that I'm not communicating with face less people.
It happened ONCE that ONE of them came back after having put up a picture for me and I was thrilled cos he was also the only one with an interesting profile and the pic wow I'm excited to meet him soon!

I know it's not everyone on the whole website looking at it. A lot of men are creeps, so if I talk to them first and am comfortable with sending my pic, I do!

If not...I don't! dunno

Normally no - not unless they write something fabulous.

Faceless profiles usually hide the aesthetically challenged who want to win you over with their fabulous personality first. Dating requires chemistry - you have to be able to look at someone and think 'yup I could fancy them'. I've met one too many faceless fibber.

And other Trolls of course find it easier not to have a pic. Of course people post false photos too - but if there was an option not to receive mails from people without photographs, I'd tick that box.

Heaven forbid! I wasn't saying you were... just expressing my point of view on the poll. Not everyone without a pic is ugly or a troll or ugly and a troll or a troll.

But... a significant number of trolls and very very unattractive people refrain from putting pics up.

If you're very attractive and frit of creeps - a long distant blurry shot of you in a big coat wearing sunglasses and a large hat might be the solution?

I used to reply to those without pics trying to be positive and consider that perhaps there were other reasons for them not posting a pic besides being cruelly ugly.....I was wrong..wow

This is principally a written medium. My preference has always primarily been to connect with the person's 'mind', through their written word. If they can write and grab my interest, that's what matters to me. No point having a good looking guy in the pic, who can't spell, and writes crap.

I have some lovely photos of someone from here who has become a close friend, including their cat. I would not have them had I not responded just because he has no profile pic. So who the heck cares to start with, if what the person writes is something I want to respond to?

I would suggest that if no photos were ever to follow with someone after a couple of weeks or so of emailing, then consider ceasing communication. But I have not found that necessary.

No-I'd be wondering if they were butt ugly or something.As one of the previous posters said,you also need visual/physical chemistry or whats the point?No matter how lovely/interesting someone sounds if you can't stand the sight of them & find them very unattractive then its just a waste of time for both of you.JMO

I had a similar experience; she'd shrunk 6 inches, gained 10 years and 3 stone from her profile description, her hair was a different colour, here eyes were a different colour, she had a different job, drove a different car, lived in a different place (about 200 miles different) and - had the personality to match her lying. No thanks.
