Even pictures of things other than yourself are better than no pictures at all. It tells something about you. I don't like talking no image at all.

I was reading a post on a forum where someone said that she wouldn't talk to a guy unless he posted his pic...my question for her and everyone else is: wouldn't you rather someone NOT post a picture of themselves, but be honest about who they are and what they look like when you talk? Or would you rather have them post a picture and have you assume it's them, even if it isn't?? Seems to me that if they post a pic of someone else, that's fabrication straight from the get go. So a potential relationship would be out of the question unless you are interested in a relationship founded on lies...personally, I'd rather them not post a pic than to lie about they posted... My post had come from experience...and although I can't be completely positive about who I am talking to...it is a comfort seeing a face to go with the words. I was on another well known site nearly two years ago...a man asked to chat with me...I looked into his eyes in the pic and felt a chill...pure evil was shining through, therefore, I refused to speak to him. Two months later, his face was posted on America's Most Wanted...he had been captured on a double homocide...the murder of an elderly couple that he bludgeoned while robbing their home..a girl that he had met and had continued talking to on that same site had turned him in...so yes...a quick conversation to request a pic is a must for me personally....a small request to feel at ease omg!!!

We'll to me the sure true way to know if they re whom they have posted (talking picture) is using a cam. can't lie about yourself then (as in looks) i've experienced to many fakes on these sites so i just find if its someone i think im going to want to meet in real life im going to have to see them on cam first.

If I'm sharing my pictures with others, I expect them to be able to do the same. A description doesn't do much. I'm not saying I won't reply to an email from a person with no picture, but after that I'll expect them to have at least one.

No matter how good it is, there's always better. No matter how bad it is, there's always worse.

You cannot judge anything from a one dimensional image, as you will meet a three dimensional person. But if a person has several photos, candids, you can get at least a sense of who to look for across the room when you are meeting.

If i were to be single and looking, i would require pictures for any kind of romance to begin with a person, i wouldnt let anything progress without. But then even thats not enough, because pictures can be false, so anyone really wanting to get close to me would have to go get themself a webcam. There are SO MANY fake profiles out there that anyone not being as cautious as i am is taking a big risk. But just to talk to someone on a friendly basis, i couldnt give a damn what someone looks like, or if they have no picture. But if i found out they had posted a fake picture, id want nothing to do with them. NO picture is much better than a fake one. There are people here that i suspect to be fake too, and because of that i will treat them differently until i know one way or another.

But, before I'd agree to meet someone, they need be willing to share pictures. A description of what they look like doesn't cut it.

All I can say is that this may sound jaded but I have been doing this online dating long another to know, if the person doesn't post a picture of "themselves" there is something wrong. The may have no self-esteem, think they are a spy, paranoid someone is watching them like their wife, haven't mastered the cyberworld. In any of these cases I am just not patience enough to hear the whole story why they haven't posted. NEXT
