As a rule, most of my searches are photo only! In the old days I used a telephone dating service, and almost all of the ones I met looked nothing like what they described, so I'm a bit leary! On rare occasion I will search without a pic, but it's very rare! Yeah, I know you can put a fake/old photo up, but I'm trying to see what most of you prefer, and I'd like to hear from someone that chooses not to post a pic as well!

I prefer no photo to the 15 year olds claiming to be 18 seeking a 40+ year old man for a face to face meeting.

LOL I don't know which is worse Bob, the 15 year olds or the men posting those hot model pics, pretending to be a woman!

This is my second time being on this site. About three years ago I actually went on several dates from here and found out quickly that, from my experiences anyway, the pictures usually meant..."absoulutely nothin, say it again"....lol, and although my picture is a very accurate representation, I rarely have one posted.

I rarely do searches that don't require a photo. I guess I'm a visual kind of guy...

Well sometimes people intentionally don't post pictures because they feel uncomfortable with it at first but that doesn't mean they dont have a pic they can send you via an email or yahoo messenger...I've actually had quite a few women with no pics on there profile write me and they ended up sending me a pic through emails.

Me Too Pete! I have met three different women from here, and two had a pic that was an accurate representation of them, The third, well that's why I decided having a cam was a good thing! lol The two and I are still good friends! Personally I don't understand how a person could think you will have any chance of a relationship when it begins with deception! So, ExacerbatedTaboo were they what they had represented themselves as being?

It's sort of a numbers thing...there are so many with pictures, why even bother looking at the ones without? And I like to have some idea who I'm talking to! It's hard to test out a possible connection with a little gray square...

...although I will add: sometimes I think I might just be better off with the little gray square

because, without the pic, it forces people to actually read your profile. it is kind of like a self filtering process.

I like a profile that clearly defines what a woman really wants.

I dont normally respond to anyone without a picture, unless the emails are unique in some way

I post a pic of myself when I'm really looking for a relationship. I don't have one up right now because I am not trying very hard to find anyone at this point in time. I will probably put one up in a month or so though.
I don't mind getting to know someone without a pic up. It doesn't bother me because sooner or later we are going to meet face to face and when that happens I may go through with the date or I might not depending on how much they have either lied or omitted info.
speaking of pics....kabooby...where is your beautiful smile? You look so sad in that one.

From what I've seen, sometimes people either don't have the means to post a photo, don't know how to post a photo, or don't know how to change a photo from bmp to jpeg format, compatible with the website.
Anything other than that seems kinda creepy. I mean, how fun would it be to go to a bar, pub, or some other meeting place, and just pass notes with some person on the other side of a partition without knowing what they look or sound like. It's kinda like going to confession, or something. If there's no photo, what am I supposed to say, "Forgive me, Juicylips4445, for I have sinned"?
And as far as beauty--hell, I ain't no Chippendales, but at least you're not getting a pig in a poke! (maybe I should re-phrase that...)

I usually look for profiles with photos. Sometimes
one without a photo could be a "red flag" meaning
they could be decieving you. This isnt always the
case of course. Online dating is probably scary enough
by itself anyways. I think a person should put up a
current photo whether they're fat, thin, gorgeous,
plain. So people can hopefully see you and like you
for the REAL you.

I'm enjoying myself so far. I don't view it as dangerous. I feel I can be trusted and hope that I will be when the time comes.

Sometimes it is better that a man has no picture in his profile. It is frustrating to read a profile that fits my criteria, with a picture lacking a beard.
I am not trying to change someone by demanding him to grow a beard to please me, so a clean shaven picture makes it impossible for me to initiate contact.
Without a picture, I can find out if he is maybe someone who himself prefers to have a beard.

I won't reply to any without a pic. What is the big deal of showing a person what you look like.

no pic = no interest? Hmm... i don't think it is a good idea.... for exaple i am a nice looking girl but i will show my face to those who will like the way i sound. Plus, i am still married - so it is my reason not to post a pic. Very simple.
