hi funky...I message both sets...unless they state that they do not want to receive them from people without a pic. if they do reply requesting a pic then i provide it in the chat. That allows us to have the same level but also allows me to only share it with who i would like to.

It does mean that i do not receive as many replies, but that is through my choices of having no pic.

Nothing untoward in it and allows people the choice.

And lets be honest...whose to say that the pic you see is the person you chat with...

Not all of them are mate...look at the whos online list and tell me how many of the sex pest messages come from people with no pic...there will always be one or two but mist are the scam entries with the pic of a 40 yr old saying their 20...lol...or obvious model shots asking for your number or email...lol

i must admit i dont like to put a pic on at first...depends on what you are looking for. I like to get to know someone first and then if i feel there is a connection ill send a pic. You can send a pic when in chat and still keep it private from others..

Appreciate you need to be attracted to someone but if you are looking for a relationship, surely you need both parts to attract. Best to know if they are a decent person first in my view.

If it means you dont get a lot of messages then that is your choice.

Do agree though you should at least tell someone about you in the profile or who will even think about getting in touch...
