All who have been reading U contributions KNOW that U ALWAYS have SOLID indepth contributions. And U have good 'conflict resolution' & quarrell-chasing' skills too!!!!
Mamma mia. Mi Dios! Who gets you will be lucky.

I SURE HOPE HE DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST ANIMALS....GEEEEEZZZZZ.....SOME PEOPLE, AND YOU WONDER WHY ANIMALS DON'T LIKE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

AS FAR AS THE PICS GOES, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE, AND WHO MADE YOU GOD????? WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO PUT PICS ON HERE....IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE ONES WE HAVE, THEN LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE.....LIKE IN THE MIRROW....

My dog happens to love me!!

I see nothing wrong with not having your pic as your main one Shsssssssssssssh if this one was me think I would still be here NOT would have beed scooped up and ran off with the first day.

But for those that are here like I said for dating they should have there pics up on there profile. No it don't keep others from talking to you if you don't

But if you have no real pics up than yes regardless what one thinks it will make others by pass your profile. Without a second look.

AS far as getting my HEART BROKEN well you show me someone that has never had a BROKEN HEART and while your at it they will either need a bottle or have there diaper changed.


Regardless if I have had a broken heart or not that has nothing to do with being Honest, Truthful, Respectful & Trusting. Broken Hearts you mend and and deal with the past before moving on.

You get no were in life if if is based on deceit from the beginning. One must be truthful to themselves before they can be truthful to others.

I'm one that makes the choice to put my thoughts as well as what I really look like out there from the beginning.

I have seen it happen too many times and the ending results for those that don't it is not pretty to watch someone to get hurt and sad thing is they brought it upon themselves.

Hey everyone here has the choice of what they say, what pics they put up , whom they talk to or whom they like. As well as it is each persons choice if they understand my opinion or not. But one does not have to take another opinion and find the wrong in it, it is only there opinion.

You see each person should respect anothers opinion you don't have to like it but respect it and expect them to give you the same with your opinion.

But then you should be able to say and how you feel about the situation without someone trying to make you look bad just because your opinion is different from theres.

Myself there are several here that don'y have pics up it never stopped me from talking on a one on one basic but now if you think I would start talking about my future with that person soooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrry call me shallow but in order to get to know someone to actually bring into my life and share it with them hummmmmmmmmm no pic no go there just keep it on a friendship level only.

Threre are many here that are not here for dating but here to express themselves hey I'm all for that. But should not get offended when a question is asked. Yes I agree that at times those same questions could be asked in a different way and get a much better response but......... sometimes there are those that can not express themselves as well as others can.


There are a lot of people here that have no ideal there are ones here just for friendship, that they already are married , have a B/F or G/F and remain here due to the friends they have accuired. Some have never read the forums even.

So it is each to there on!!!!!!

God TxGal u are hot when u get fired up!!!

THANKS MIKEY FOR BRINGING ME BACK TO REALITY TOOO CUTE

Grevin, your intitled to your opinions, we just don't have to agree.

Yes Grieving you are entititled to your opinion and I mean no offence. You are free to sort profiles in the ways that are important to you.

My own agenda may be different.

My preference is to see people with a 'different' set of primary eyes...as the primary eyes can be and are deceiving.

Some will believe the conversation futile until a visual acceptance has been ascertained. But I think the conversation is the point. I would rather experience people. See them through the eyes of soul without agenda ... I feel so much more than my physical eyes can see.

It is an expansion of love well beyond the romantic level for me. It is the purity of love. No agenda, no expectation other than getting to know the who of people.

As a friend said to me once...if there is more than friendship developing it will beg to be explored. Then the couple can choose what it shares and how.

But for now, I choose to share publicly what I have already shared. When I figure out how to take a full body shot with my webcam perhaps I will share one of those but it will be when I choose.


If I have truly offended someone because I have head shots, art shots and a pic of my orange toenail polish on my profile then I would be surprised by that. My heart is laid bare in the threads for those who have chosen to see it.


Your agenda will dictate differently and that is perfectly reasonable. Good luck to you.

Artgirl u are beautiful no matter what pic u put up!!!

Artg

Oppps Artgurl very well said indeed

GRIEVING.. you looked at MY PROFILE>> so it says.. if you did YOU SAW A PIC OF ME AND A YOUNG LADY [my granddaughter] so now what???
i had other pics of me some were FULL body shots... but was getting LUED... requests frm younger dudes... so I took them off..
so if i chat with someone and they want a full body shot and we both agree.. then hey............... no problem.. but sounds like youre just looking for instant romance [which yes it has many meanings ] so until i get to know ya.. no full sizes for YOU .......................

Txgirl,

1st of all, the reason why some of posters were in an uproar was not a result of Greiving having a different opinion, but that his comments were insulting.

1. Women or men should never be objectified. By demanding full body pics of women, that is objectifying. Keep in mind that he wasn’t just criticizing people who did not have pics of themselves, but those that had head shots and/or partial body shots.
2. He had the audacity of implying to women that they could not possibly have a “love connection” with someone unless they provided a full body pic of themselves. This is false and bullsh~t. Besides, not all of us, are here to simply have a “love connection”. I personally value friendship above all else, so I would never consider a romantic relationship w/ someone who wasn’t even a friend to begin with.
3. Double standards. He has only provided head shots, but demands women must show more!
4. He behavior also demonstrates non-altruistic motives. Behavior in which your mother, sisters, girlfriends, father, brother, and male friends will warn you about!


I do agree that people should be able to discuss things in a civil matter, but as part of society, when someone’s behavior or conduct is detrimental to others, then it is also important to LOUDLY protest against such behavior. This is behavior in which should set alarms for the sake of impressionable women and young girls.

If you feel comfortable in providing such pics, then you go girl. If you feel that you NEED to for the sake of acceptance, then you have my sympathies. Yes, I have also experienced heartbreak, but it was not a result of someone simply being shallow. It was the result of watching a long-term relationship end. I am fortunate that I know my self worth. Shallow people, who would place more value on looks versus mind, spirit, and intelligence, is not worth my time or energy. Besides, even if a person has a full body pic, there is no guarantee that is what that person actually looks like.

So……….. I applaud for coming to the aid of another fellow human being & taking a stand.

My only concern is that you ignored the concerns that were raised by the other posters & that you place so much value on looks.

well i put up pics just so that the people complaining about not being able to see who they are talking to would have something to look at and they told me they were happier with the box.

KB, I am assuming your are joking, but in case your being sincere. THE JERKS! You can do better. Don't sweat it!

thanks alexiateigra, i am joking.

KB I am relieved that was a joke ... that would not be cool

Yeah, kind of figured, but didn't want to be a$$ and assume!!!!

even if it was true i'm not the type to sweat it.
