It would be better if people did post a pic, but if they're prepared to email one then that's ok. I know there are as many reasons as there are people for not posting a pic - such as being a school teacher - would you want to be seen on a dating site by all those snotty nosed kids in the classroom?

When I first was talking to my now boyfriend, he did not have a picture. Neither of us did. We did not know what each other looked like. Once we build up a rapport, we exchanged email address and photos. The rest is history.

d'ya really think those snot nosed kids hav got the time to trawl dating sites looking for a pic of their teacher..get real, theres far too much cider to be drank on the park bench!
Absolutely I would, you could tell a lot just by reading someone's profile. Within a couple of e-mails you would be able to tell more and get a good idea of whether or not they not posting a pic because they are hiding something
Perhaps,it would depend on the rapport in the communications between us though. If that was good, I probably would, some don't want their pics on here for a variety of reasons.

I do not mind, when people without picture contact me. In fact, I think it makes it easier to establish communications with that person without being prejudiced about their looks.
I've found several good friends here, who have no picture, and only rarely does it even occur to me that I don't have a clue what they look like. But then again, looks are truly not important to me, I might be an exception in that regard.

I have been in touch with a few people who do not have pictures up, and in everycase they have sent pictures aftyer they had established an email contact.

Yep, it's often no problem, if you ask after a while.
And I don't even ask the ones I correspond with regularly - if they want to send a picture, they'll offer to do that when they're ready. I'm patient, it's no biggie to me.

Yes i would talk to somebody on here who doesn't have a picture, at the end of the day half the pictures on here are probably fake or years out of date anyway.
Some of the most interesting people I've corresponded with haven't had a picture. When they are comfortable they'll share a picture, and if they don't want to that's ok as well. Eventually if they lived close enough and we'd meet, I'd see them for real anyways.
It is OK, if someone lay, can also post fake photo, from another person or when he or she was younger. Risk with profiles with photos and without one is near same.

solsticemoon: No..its a dating site!!! come on if you cant post a pic whats the point?
Try to calm down young lady....some people don't have a camera, or photos of themselves. I didn't when I first got here. But I wouldn't give my email....photo or no photo until I get to know them a little..
Although I wouldn't give someone from here my email address.
I do belong to acouple sites where not every member posts a picture profile picture.It's no biggie.I don't treat them any differently then I do anyone else who does have a picture.
