| Maybe some people are shy, I don't know, but I have always shown a photo. It's the best way to find out if someone is attracted to you.
I'd like to find out from the men why they don't show a picture.

| When I ask for a picture and it turns out not someone I would go out with I just talk as friends so I don't hurt them. But if they ask I just tell the truth that the attraction just is not there. I either stay friends or they move on as well as I move on. But always best to be up front and honest the only way to be.

| She was interesting until you saw your pic...things that make you go hmmmmmmmm!
Why email her at all and now I have to tell her cya, I don't care for your looks.
Because that's essentially what you're saying and how she's going to take it...hope she knows its your lost.

| I don't even start off conversing with people who don't have a picture posted. In this day and age, that's either laziness, or they have something to hide (or think they do, which indicates low self esteem, which is just as bad).
EVERYONE knows someone who has a camera phone or digital camera. These are not exactly brand new inventions. Six or seven years ago, I might have bought the whole "haha I'm really computer illiterate I'll figure it out one of these days, in the meantime can we get to know each other?" line. Now, no way. I'm not wasting my time when I'm getting e-mails and winks from a bazillion men who HAVE taken the time and effort to get a picture - albeit sometimes not so hot LOL - into their profile.

| I think that because someone doesn't post a pic .It doesn't mean they are a serial killer.I have not posted a pic yet because I'm new to this and I'm not sure it is legit.
As I look at this site in more detail I will post.and if someone asked me for one I would give it to them. Also at first I was a little embarrassed that a friend or co-worker would see it.Most of them are married and might not realize how tough it is to meet people.(What would they be doing here if they were married ? yeah Right)

| I don't respond to those profiles that are missing a photo or are incomplete in that there is no information given or no indication of what this person likes, dislikes, interests etc. It's more of an issue of having a level playing field and photos and profiles are crucial.

| Now hang on, at least he is trying to hite on one of the top things everyone say's they want, Honesty. Granted it comes off as very superficial when now after seeing the picture he is back peddling and I am sure this fact has not escaped the lady on the receiving end of this rejection. Do not however just ignore her, maybe as mentioned before she just takes a bad picture and may deserve a second chance. If however your not willing to take that chance, just tell her in the kindest and most respectful way you can come up with your no longer interested. I don not envy you this task, but I would suggest in the future you avoid the individuals without a picture posted. Good Luck.

| It's not a question of being a serial killer. From the perspective of a woman, it's a question of, "I have two dozen e-mails and winks in my in-box this morning. Eighteen of them have photos, six don't. I don't have time to waste fiddling with the ones who can't even be bothered to post a photo, so those are automatically getting deleted." I'm not going to take the time to e-mail you and beg for a photo. Maybe some women will be so impressed by the text of your profile that they will, I don't know. I wouldn't even stop to read it, I'm busy reading the ones who have pics that I am interested in.
I'm sorry, the whole "what if someone sees me" excuse irritates me to death. If you're that paranoid, then internet dating is not for you. It's been around for years, and everyone knows people who have dated online; most of us know someone who has found a serious relationship or marriage online. Who cares if your friends or co-workers see it? Do you think they're unaware of the fact that you're single? Are you somehow better than the rest of us who are on here, looking for dates, and therefore you shouldn't have to "stoop" to this? Excuse me, but that attitude blows.
And as far as the people (not you, but others - usually men) who want to say, "oh, someone might STEAL my photo!", dream on, buckaroo.

| I have had that happen. I was nice to the person, but lightly let them know that I was not interested. It is a chance that they should know they are taking. After all, attraction is a big part of who we are!
