I don't take profiles without pictures seriously when it comes to dating.

Me either. As said before, if they're just here for the forums and chatting, it won't be a big deal. But as soon as they make it apparent they're interested in more, I make it clear that I don't meet people who won't post pictures.

I don't care about pictures, when you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Yet they still try to make lame excuses. Maybe we should all get rid of pictures.

Do they avoid video chatting, too?

If they can do video chatting, they can post a picture.

How so? Everyone looks pretty different.

Though, that's how I feel about descriptions people give online when they don't want to share pictures. They all sound pretty similar.

Why would anyone want to video chat with a bowl of fruit?

Biscuit-man can't switch profiles that fast.

That's quite a topic change. I thought we were discussing how guys are apparently hitting on you (interested in more) but refuse to post pics, and whether they also avoid video chatting. That has nothing to do with fruit bowls, my pic, or me video chatting.

Video chatting came to my mind because I thought of how easy it is to fake a pic. If you really want to confirm someone's appearance, you got to see them in person or video chat.

Also, I've met a few rare people who simply don't have a digital camera, don't have a scanner; and don't know how to use their laptop cam to take pics...but they can video chat.

If they can figure out how to use their webcam, they can figure out how to take pictures with it. Having a webcam and using the excuse that they don't know how to use it to take pictures is really lame. And lazy. Even if they didn't understand from the instructions it came with, anyone can search on google and find a simple tutorial.

Go ahead, and video chat. No one is stopping you.
I was actually not talking about anyone hitting on me. I was talking about people looking for relationships without a profile pic. and then you talked about video chatting.

why are pics so important? we all like to see what we are getting
ourselves into!

Some things are best left to the imagination.

You want people to imagine what you look like instead?

a redhead, I love this pic. Don't exactly look like that tho.As This was supposed to be a reply to the sexy rehead pic & quote by Lucille Ball.

Um.... Where did this come from?




By 'hitting on' I just meant 'expressing interest'. You said:


So you weren't talking about people who expressed interest in you, but people who expressed interest in a more general sense?

So these people are interested in dating, but aren't expressing interest in you, but you just want them to know your standards?

Thats very proactive of you.

massagetrade, I think you're confusing Sandelwood4 and I. In your previous post, you started off quoting her, then quoted me at the end. Maybe that's where the confusion is coming from.

SingMeSweet, you are right! By the time there were 7 nested quotes, I (unknowingly) lost track of which were hers and which were yours.

My apologies.
