Couldn't the same thing be said about people that have nothing but pictures of... I dunno.. Woodland creatures in their profiles? I'll read what everyone else had to say later. Thanks for your comments. |

Thanks for your comments. So, you're not interested in dating, yet you're worrying about others who are and have no pictures? Odd. |

Thanks for your comments. So, you're not interested in dating, yet you're worrying about others who are and have no pictures? Odd. If anyone here is genuinely interested in initiating an actual relationship, then it seems right to question those who go about accomplishing that task in a somewhat slipshod manner. Right? It only seems fair to help. Got something to hide there, eh Brunhilda? laugh From the people who traverse this site? Yes. Many, MANY a creeper have I encountered here and I refuse to let any of them "up in my bidness" even in a vicarious sense, but, in all probability, in (attempts at) a direct sense after they fall madly in love with me for superficial reasons (I am adorable, you see). Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...! *Leans over earthen pool to gaze at own reflection* |

I guess I just don't see why someone who says she's not here for dating is so worried about what others are doing without pictures.

I do not accept this phenomenon. If you go onto a dating site with the intention of actually *finding* a date, why on earth wouldn't you put a picture of yourself in your profile? If you do not have that ability--for some inexplicable reason--that almost makes it understandable. Otherwise, this retention strikes me as purely irrational. Why this is a problem: If you do not have a picture and, as one would expect, begin looking at others' profiles, what will those people automatically assume when they see said viewer (let's call him "Simon") picture-less? One (or all) of three possibilities: 1, Simon is ashamed of his appearance. 2, Simon lacks the mental capacity to take and upload a picture of himself successfully. and/or 3, Simon is a creeper (perhaps a voyeurist or, even worse, a predator) wandering the internets to get his jollies (vicariously) from random people. Shyness is not an accuse. I would like an explanation, particularly from those guilty of this faux pas. OR THEY ARE MARRIED.... |

Being visual means you are stimulated by seeing things. Deciding you cannot be with another person because of their looks is shallow. I disagree. There is more to a relationship than just looks. But there should be at least some physical attraction. There are many possible reasons why I may not be interested in a man. Lack of physical attraction is one of them. So is incompatibility or having a poor personality. I think a person is shallow when she or he ONLY cares about looks, money, materalistic possessions etc. |

I did read an article ( I do not have the reference, I did not save it) that said the people without photo's and promise to email you one are probably married.
I think this is true for at least part of the cases. |

I guess I just don't see why someone who says she's not here for dating is so worried about what others are doing without pictures. The same reason why a teacher is concerned about the well-being of his or her students: The teacher is not experiencing the same plight (having to achieve certain grades, not having a choice whether to be in class or not, etc.), but--for good teachers--the sympathetic interest is there to help the students, nonetheless. More to the point, I do not have to justify myself or my whimsical actions to you or anyone. In fact, I do not need to have a reason for anything I do; because I am capricious and eccentric and otherwise not at all bound by others' expectations. The only people whose actions require justification, from my standpoint, are those who (inadvertently) claim a certain goal "here for dating (or whatever)" yet lurk around sporting some sort passive spectatorism. OR THEY ARE MARRIED.... Well, gee wiz, what difference does having a picture make even in that case? If a married person is so concerned that simply having a picture will draw the wrong kind of attention, maybe he or she should not be on a DATING--A DATING--site to begin with. Such contradictory abstinence and secrecy, in lieu of what should be ambition and confidence in the "quest" for a relationship, is odd and inexplicable in any case you can draw from your peculiar little hats. *Sigh* Now, I am done. *Removes mask of narcissism and goes to bed* |

Oops, one more thing:
About the whole "visual/shallow" tangent. Whether or not you find someone outwardly attractive is quite irrelevant. Having a picture here is not about flaunting looks, but about honesty. Withholding a picture and sneaking around in obscurity *with the pretense of searching for love (or whatever)* is where the problem lies (quite literally, lies). A guy was once attracted to me, for instance, primarily because of my intelligence. And who could blame him, right? I mean, look at what I write even on this tawdry dating site; I am a genius. *Walks away haughtily* |

Now get back up on that Short Bus with Corky and the rest of the "speshul" people. And don't forget to wear your red safety hat, too.

I agree. However, I find it odd that the person who posted this has no pictures of herself.  personally, I figured one of three things: 1. the are not serious 2. they are hotties.... and they want peeps to like them for things other than their looks... 3. they are notties... and they want peeps to like them for things other than their looks... |

I just posted a pic. But it doesn't change who I am. I am still and always will be me. With or without a pic!
