Why is a photo so neccesary in to getting to know a person? Isn't there anyone out there who is honestly interested in getting to know another person by what comes from their heart and soul and mind.. WITHOUT having to see a photo FIRST or somewhere along in the process?? Looks can be very deceiving and artificial and not truly show the real person inside. All you are looking at is an outer shell of the real person who is INSIDE. Is it because we are afraid of revealing our true inner selves that we hide behind a photo? I say forget the photo and try just getting to know someone for once by what comes from their heart. You may be surprised at the real image that is revealed.

That is the most popular Line, I want to see who I am talking to, but as a couple people mentioned Is the picture of the person, in fact this person we are talking to? You can be anyone you want to be on the internet.

And azlindylu you can protray yourself in any fashion without a picture also. I'm like the others...I want to see a picture to have a face to place with conversations. Nothing wrong with that!

My answer is. If I am going to share my ... time, thoughts, and emotions, . I want to do this with someone I wanted to get to know for the start. A big part of exchanging messages is liking the person you are writing too.
Another thing...One of the most disappointing feeling in dating is taking the time and effort, and getting gitty, and excited after you arranged a date only to find out that the person you going on a date with is someone you would have absolutely no interest in physically. Then you think to yourself, a simple photo could have prevented all of this.
It one thing to meet someone who has a profile with a photo 10 years younger or 100 pounds lighter, but it totally another to on a date site-unseen and find out the person looks nothing like you were built to imagine.

The point here then becomes, why would you post a pic that wasn't of yourself. I think it disingenous not to post a pic when your putting up a profile. And the "oh, I afraid co-workers, fam., friends would see" So what. If you think cyber-dating/looking is wrong, begone, if not, have at it... Though to even begin a conversation without a pic., is difficult, at best.

From a different perspective, I've been on sites where I didn't have a pic. When I got to know someone well enough that I felt comfortable sending one, the wait afterwards was brutal. If I liked them enough to share a pic, I cared too much about how they thought I looked. It's easier to just have it out there and let people make a decision about whether they want to get to know me without worrying about whether or not he'll find me attractive. There's nothing worse than sending a pic and never hearing from him again if you are interested.

It is difficult to carry on a conversation with a blank page.

Well..it's like you have an unfair advantage over the
other person. It makes people think you are trying to
hide something. Would you like to talk to someone
who is behind you and says, "Don't turn around, I don't
want you to see my face." I know it isn't exactly the
same thing, but the feeling is still an eerie one.
Does this make any sense to you? I posted a couple
different ones...right from my cam...if you can't afford
a $14 cam from Wal-Mart...then I just don't know.
I am with others...gotta see a BELIEVABLE pic, then I want
to see others too, as time progresses. JMO
