Top Ten Reasons Why I do NOT have a Photograph of Myself

A lot to read between the lines here ....a picture speaks a thousand words .....nine times out of ten the word is "no" for many people who don't match up or are simply useless at taking pictures . Photoshop works miracles or lies .....I've talked to lots of people without pictures ... this isn't just a dating site . I wouldn't meet a person who's picture I'd never seen though . No 1 reason for no picture is that the person is already attached is cheating is what I think . And if you're free to date are unattached you should have the courage to put up a picture . Get someone to take it make an effort it sends out a signal that if you can't be assed to look half decent in your picture well you can't be assed is how I see it so it's a" no " but you can still meet someone who's as half hearted so together who knows ? It's a bit like feel the fear and do it anyway so put the picture up there . I'd say men judge far more by appearance than women do . ....

why not wear a mask, everybody else does...it works like a charm since society is all about appearances superfluous inanities. the mask that everyone is wearing is Most conducive, in compliance with what is "acceptable"
sorry i butted in just couldn't resist your explanations so hilarious.

You can stand your ground (with no photo), but don't be surprised if you get no takers. Who buys anything without seeing it first. That's real life.

It really does not matter because everyone on here is masked up and no one of us know what we really want, but our occupation on getting involved satisfies our mind.. we are the generation of PLACEBO.

I'm just a Glutton for punishment. But also think its best to show myself up in my case as in the unlikely event that some woman might want to meet me....I don't want to be responsible, For a panic attack or coronary on her part....

But as i'm a decent chap,, I'm here to help give the average bloke a better chance LOL

You should ask 10 reasons why I do have a photograph of myself in these forums. Sometimes I wonder why.

Maybe I shouldn't have a photograph of myself either, I might get some interests from the women on what I look like. If the profile doesn't seem interesting then it wouldn't matter anyway.

If however they like the profile it might show interest to see who's behind it. A lot of women might reject a good profile because they don't like the photo.

I agree with your thinking 100%, I had no photo too, when I started off in here, but was told that you'd get more responses with one, so I put it in, and I don't think it improved the situation much. I think it's the profile that impresses the women, but then some women are more interested in looks.

I would stick with the status quo if I were you. Your reasoning is very valid reasons.

You forgot the most important one for men in general ...I'm (me) Ugly!!!

No girl wants to be seen with a puss like this. I didn`t want to put mine in either, wanted to be judged by personality only, Yes I agree with your list. You took a lot of time and care to construct this fine creation.

Has any girls/women seen this list. I hope they do, I wonder if the reverse is true also.

How about a Why or Why not list for them also.

Let`s start a Why or why not list on why we should date/marry them as well.

Good job...thanks.

4. Everytime that I tell the telephone to take my picture, it scurries away on its vibrations as fast as it can screaming for "help". love it!

Not bad. I think that you should not be judged on a picture...it`s the person, personality that should be judged or rated, I felt the same way...I didn`t want to post a photo either at the beginning, it was that I wasn`t getting any action in here without one, nothing much has changed with the photo either, no difference at all. Stick to your decision. If women need a photo to judge you, then they`re very shallow people, prejudiced, not worth even bothering with, some women here don`t have their photos in here either, but want to see yours first before you see theirs. I think it should work both ways.

I really liked viewing your list, don`t change a thing.
