I’m not sure whether this is the appropriate place to put this question but…
On my profile, I specifically state “No photo = No response” yet I get all sorts of contact from men who don’t have photos on their profile. Do they think I don’t mean what I say? Am I suppose to be impressed?
This has nothing to do with the reasons why someone would choose not to put a photo up. I'm not interested in judging that. It's about responding to an ad where a specific request is ignored.
… just a curious bone I thought I’d toss in here for folks to chew on.

At least he was honest. That holds a lot of water with some of us.

My opinion on Profiles W/O photos.
Most people just cruise to see photos and don't take the time to read the profile. Remember your dealing with people from all walks of life on these sites. I just ignore most of the people that are rude or have nasty or sexual content to there IM or E-mails. Good Luck with your search

I can't believe the number of people that approach me WITH NO PIC that claim they don't care what a person looks like.
I am really reasonable and realistic and require that I am only moderately attracted to a potential mate. Heavier emphasis is put on the personality and values of the individual.
Yet, we can't proceed to terribly far without a photo, and I resent the accusation that I am superficial for just wanting to know what the girl looks like.
So yes, I agree with your concerns.
We ought to talk about the deceptive photos also! Under weight and under age!

I've enjoyed being able to see what some of the people I talk to look like; however, I have had rewarding interactions with some who don't have pics posted. Maybe some are, like me, not in a position right now to get a pic posted. For example, I am on vacation and do not have the immediate means available to post a pic.
Looks are somewhat important, but when it is all said and done, it is the compatability and personality that gets you through the rough spots. If you are looking for anything more than a booty call, that is.

See? now, benefit of the doubt tells me that she didn't mean it that way, but.............
FOLKS WANTING PICS ARE NOT NECESSARILY LOOKING FOR A BOOTY CALL!

Wanting a pic does not neccessarily mean that you are SUPERFICIAL!

People CAN tell when a person is stalling. I remember when I did not have means to post a pic. I understood the other party's need to know.
I was sad that I was hindered by lack of a pic, especially knowing that I am in the very least moderately attractive.
But it is both fair and reasonable to want to see some kind of a pic eventually.

(How come people think this isn't my photo? Krazz puts his on and they know his is real. But, for some reason, nobody thinks mine is. I'm going to borrow Silver Surfer's and see if that works)

i cant find a picture of just myself - always with my kids in the photos when im not taking them. i guess i never thought it was that important. i just sent someone a picture i use as a screen saver - she sent me one - neither of us have posted pictures right now. i guess its just a matter of what works for each of us...

Right on Beachy! I have taken alot of flak because I have not posted my pics yet...truth be told I am a computer virgin and just hitting the keys is hard enough for me let alone figuring out how to put stuff into this damn machine....I guess I must be a fake like some have accused me of...but really why should any one really care, its about personality anyway............

I dont have a pic posted on my profile for a couple of reasons....
Mainly, because I do not have the equipment to download a pic on here.
Secondly, I dont want my looks to impact someone talking to me or not
It's not that I am ugly or embarassed of my looks, because neither is the case.
But, if someone feels that they truely have something in common with you based upon your profile then I think that they should let you know...pic or no pic. What if it is your true love & you dissed them because they didnt have a pic on their profile??
Please dont take offense, but it does almost sound shallow to me. Love shouldnt be based on looks. Love is love regardless.
