I think the problem is the misconception that this site is strictly a dating site....glad we cleared that up

I think we should pass a federal law. Or maybe we can get Obama to pass an executive order.



Obama's not the boss of me! :tongue:


Contrary to popular belief, Canada is still a separate country laugh

Quit henpecking Toodygirl, you old crows. She agreed with me. You have to commend her on her keen insight and remarkable observation skills. Go on with your fine self!

This is a dating site. They should require real photos of members and to use them as their default photo. The main purpose of this site is to meet singles. I just see too many main photos of odd creatures and cartoon characters. What's the deal?


I agree! If I'm putting myself out there you should do the same!
I should be like the men on here.... ONLY contact If you have a photo!

If they're looking for dating, I agree. Many seem to be afraid to post pictures of themselves for some reason, even if they're looking for dating.

Again; I will stand up for those who don't post pics; there are various reasons that most people don't understand as to why people don't post pictures. I agree it will be harder to meet someone if you don't post a picture but if I was interested in who they are as a person; the picture wouldn't matter but again that is just me as I can't speak for others.

People can choose not to post pictures, just as others (like me) can choose not to meet those who refuse to post photos. I have heard many, many excuses for not posting photos and most are just that.. excuses. But, you are right, it is their choice not to do so.

Agreed. I just know here in Calgary that school teachers, cops, firefighters, lawyers, etc are very private about their photographs not only on dating sites but even on Facebook. I give them the benefit of the doubt.

I have met one person who did not post their picture online. I saw them before meeting, though. And he had a genuine reason for not doing so, like those you've listed. However, most people that don't have pictures that I've chatted with don't have those reasons. It's either they don't have a camera, they're embarrassed about meeting people online and so on. Those are just silly excuses.

As much as i do like to see a photo of the person i communicate with
I can understand why some folks are reluctant to expose themselves
I personally have had my REAL photos taken,made into TROLL personas
And then rubbed in my face like a dirty diaper !
Furthermore my REAL name,address and phone number publicized
In their effort to bring me harm
I told them thanks for the free publicity !
Since i do write
hehehe...
{On a non moderated site i won't bother to mention}
Thus the need for moderators ...Thank you folks!
I think the simple answer is... if it bothers you so much when someone does not have a photo ....
JUST DON'T LOOK !
:wink:

JMHO

The other thing is scammers can and will take your picture as pose as you on another dating site.

If you're worried about your pictures being used elsewhere, try using http://www.tineye.com/ to see if anyone has been using them.
