But please help with my profile. I know a pic would help but that isn't going to happen. any other suggestions. don't want to start off on the wrong foot so to speak.

More about you. Your interests, hobbies, what you are looking for.

Same thing that YellowRose10 said, and...even just a modest picture would be better than nothing. Just my opinion, and good luck to ya!

or a picture or flowers or something. That is more eye catching than the ask me for my photo.

I understand why some are leery of posting pictures online, but post something that catches the eye

Well, is the only thing that matters to you is that he is Christian? Are there other parts to you? What is your personality like? What activities do you enjoy? What are some things you'd like to try? As well, you might want to consider a Christian singles website in order to ensure a larger Christian dating pool.

I second that. But with one reservation added. My profile gets checked out by more people when I don't have a picture up of myself, and fewer letters arrive in my mailbox when I do have a photo of myself posted.

You have to be able to use your discretion when you're deciding whether to put up a pic of yourself.

But lots of people on this site post just any picture, and that's allowed. I noticed on myself that I am more likely to respond to a woman or to her comment on the forums if she looks more like Betty Booper or Vilma Flintstone than if she looks like Bulldozer Annie or Popeye the sailorman.

I guess it's psychological, and nothing has to do with reality after all, but only with fantasy and positive wishing.
