Do you think is wrong to ask for a pic, so you can see how the person look? I had some guys tell me, I don't know how to post a picture, I don't have one, etc. I use to go sites and post my profile without the picture and now I understand people do want to see a face. I don't believe my picture I have post and I am planning on updating my picture to a better looking one. Oh yeah, I told one guy that I heard that line before and I told him that if I can post a picture and even go as far taking pictures to post, he can do it too. He wrote back and he sound like he had an attitude. I told him I didn't mean any harm and explain it to him. Letting him know if you don't post a picture, you not going to get too many response( in so many words).

I think it is perfectly reasonable to request.... or even REQUIRE a pic of the other person. Sure, looks aren't everything, but they are definitely something. I've even taken a couple of decent pics with just my cell phone... this isn't tough =D

i agree a recent one to not an old highshool picture either lol

I don't know
Maybe I'm doin somthing right here

I have no pic

The men who want to talk to me
Really want to get to know me don't seem to care at all
They liked my written pro

After a while I send them a pic

using looks as a part of your requirement before contacting is a form of sick thinking. an attractive individual does not gurantee you anything except looks. forget looks and payattention to personality. you will get alot more out of a heavy guy that treats you like3 a queen than you will out of looker that beats you all of the time

Pic's for friends & conversation, can be done anytime.
For someone you are planning to meet, I feel a pic is necc.
Helps for first time recognition & no rude surprises.
I won't meet someone w/o a pic, ahead of time.

Yes, it's always best to focus your attention on the people with no faces, or those with bags over their heads.

Yes but this is not about having a profile pic. You are willing to give them a pic after you feel they deserve one. It is normal to want to know who you are talking to...

Shrug... (to retired66) I am not a pretty man.

I get tons of nudges and emails and most of the interest has been AFTER I have posted a poem or something thoughtful or funny on here... Which tells me that no one is looking at me and drooling... they are interested after they see my words.

But I do agree that you can't be completely wrapped up in looks. An ugly dude may treat you far better than a hottie, in fact he probably will.

It's funny before I read this I imagined a singles bar where everyone had bags on their head....

I want one!!

If seeking only friendship I can well understand where pics aren't really necessary, but if on a site to look for a possible relationship with someone then pics are necessary why would I want to waste my time if not at all physicaly attracted to the person...

I met someone on here with just a butt pic and 1 eye. I was hoping he would recognize me!!!

Nothing at all wrong with asking for a photo. Be careful though, sometimes you get what you ask for. lol

I just leave mine up. That way I don't get bothered much! lol

Yeah but you're a special case. That has to be the second nicest a$$ I've ever seen!
I'd recognize you from 500 yards walking away. And with an eyepatch.

There is nothing wrong with asking for a pic.
It helps make it more reality

Nothing wrong with asking for a pic at all, I skip profiles with no pic, hell if I can put pics up , I can't see why anybody else can't.

Nothing wrong with requesting a picture from someone we or most of us have pictures up. I personally do not see the problem here. I figure if they don't have a picture ( current especially) then they are not all that interested in looking for something more serious then a friendship.


And we all have certain requirements don't we? A picture helps to weed out those that don't meet those requirements.( physical appearences), sorry if its shallow or superficial to some. But its honest.

Sick thinking? Hmmm so you get talking to person, sure you find out that the two of you have a lot in common, then he shows you a picture. There is no attraction there at all. It is one thing to be mentally attracted to a person. But there also needs to be some level of physical attraction as well. If I am not physically attracted to a person, then they stay in the friend zone. Go ahead and call me shallow if you want, but how do you go to bed with somebody you are not attracted to? How do you kiss somebody? How are you able to be close to somebody if the physical attraction is just not there? I am sorry but I am a very sexual person, BUT I can not go to bed with them if I cannot stand the way they look.

Nope, nothing at all wrong with asking for a pic. I believe there's more of something wrong with not wanting to provide one

nothing wrong with asking for a pic and i will provide several to ANY lady who asks...some of us cannot post pics due to a combination of the fact that we are on webtv and the site ADMIN has no idea how to help people with webtvs post pics be seeing you
