I am just curious about the people who have no picture
and no description. What are you expecting people to respond
to, when there is nothing there about who you are that makes
you YOU! Height, body type, eyes/hair/ are really very
unimportant to me, and I can't see the point responding via
wink or email, when that is all there is.
Someone please tell me - What are you Thinking!

You make a very good point, 'Rose. I know I, for one, will not e-mail or wink someone if there's nothing there to turn me on ...  .... I mean, to grab my interest.

Miata, but at least your profile description is filled in.
What I am talking about is when there is No picture, AND
no description. What is a person supposed to respond to
in that case.

I think it's possible they are just not sure of what they want from the site , or are afraid to bare their soul so to speak ( to total strangers ) ? For instance the income question is a real test or a chance to fib to impress people ( personally I am a little intimidated by a woman who claims to earn over 100,000 per year ) I'll have to check my profile , I can't remember what was put in there !

Most men who do that want sex. Same when they put age 18-70. They are looking for anybody.

I can appreciate the fact people don't want to admit things like their salary, religion, occupation, etc. But at least they can write even a couple sentences about themselves & give a few of their interests. There's no way I'll contact someone I know absolutely nothing about. A picture even helps a lot.

Why the intimidation? I make over $100,000/year, just means I have a great job, that I worked hard to achieve! No worries! And about the no profile/picture thing??? I have the picture posted, and have written a profile, when it came time to post, it didn't take...and I tried three times! Just gave up after that! I also have nothing to hide...ask away!

It seems many men are intimidated by the income thing.  I guess women's lib hasn't come as far for some as for others. It wouldn't surprise me, saucybrat, if several men who read your profile shy away when they see that. I know, it makes no sense! But often men don't make sense, anyway.

So --- if you make over 100,000 are you going to be comfortable with a guy who only works part time and is happy with that ? I guess it would be real love then eh ? Sorry for going off topic .

You're not really off-topic, miataman. We're talking about why some members don't complete their profile & one reason being income. You brought up a good point about diff in income. In any case, at least you participate in Alberta Chat so who would DARE to give you  ?

Hi, all. Miata, that would be a lifestyle choice between two individuals, not a blanket application.
As long as people are just dating, who cares whether someone works at all, part, or full time!
I've been curious, Miata: do you drive one, or sell them?

Well i am a man last time I checked and a woman with a great job and a career is no different, great she has more money but an honest guy would not even see that as an issue, more money means you can both do more things together, a relationship is more than just $$$ anyway, if a guy is intimidated by a woman making over $100,000 then he is the wrong type of guy.

Honesty has nothing to do with a persons ideas about a mates income . I would like a lady close to my own age , not young enough to be my daughter or old enough to be my mother . Being MALE and being a MAN are two different things . The ladies can see my posts and threads and see that I am honest and just being myself. And as I promised , I have posted my picture.

Hey, miata, I see you got the kids to take a picture of you! Nice to to see your smiling face! . Now we all have a feeling of connection with you that, speaking for myself, don't get with a black outline. Now you're 'real', I'll welcome you once again to Alberta Chat.

I did fill in my profile, but I was very leary about putting up a pic. Only after I started doing some good chatting with someone did I finally feel ok to put it up. (and the fact that he had asked for a pic). With today's world, (me being paranoid), who wants the whole world to know what u look like).

I don't blame you for being a little paranoid now adays, Wishful. Often you can't tell if someone is being honest or stringing you along. And then you look at how much the peacefulness of our province has changed, especially in the last few years. Yes, it definitely pays to be cautious.

I think most of the members without a pic or profile probably just joined to be able to see who was listed. Its been in the news many times how sites like these actually post pics of people from other places and say they are from where you are, just so people join. After joining, many end up disappointed because those people were not real, they were just ads edited to please automatically who ever is looking at the ad.
Then theres those where some thing happens in life and they can't return and when they do, they can't remember the password, or account. I know I have a couple like that. Specially when my ISP closes the e-mail address and one can't retrieve the pw in order to change the e-mail. I really wish there would be more easy ways to retrieve pw's in order to update accounts.
Then theres of coarse those just here to chat be it good or bad chat. What really ticks me off is looking at some of these profiles and it says the profile is like 3 months old and still waiting for approval ? So really then I guess its also partly the fault of the hosting site too. They should learn to clean up the lists more often to avoid lag in the system too.
There is so many reasons but I won't keep going hope this helps. Probably won't without e-mails to the staff of the site though.
