| Topic: Why not post your photo? | |

Maybe some people are just fed up of being hit on because of their looks. Honestly, if a guy really wants me for being me, my photo will be the last thing he's interested in. It helps weed out the jerks. I will send him one by e-mail after I think he seems legitimate enough. Problem with that is that as soon as someone starts talking about emailing offsite I'm going to suspect that they're a spammer. Don't get me wrong, I'm not that bothered about the photos myself and I don't really even look at them. I even dated a woman once that had no photo on her profile. I understand that some women are worried about stalkers. Doesn't that make them the ones that are being "paranoid" or suspicious though? Yeah, I try to filter out people like that. It's great. Well, my reason for me taking my photo's down, was because of excess. It's one thing to get compliments, but another if your inbox is clogges up with those "You're hot!" messages. I wouldn't mind it as much if there was conversation from the people sending those. As it happens, it's a non-entity for a conversation. I say thanks. Where do you go from there? Many men will forgive a woman anything but the wit to outwit him; Oscar Wilde could have said that but he didn't; he more or less implied it. From my perspective, most women can be highly intelligent but they often choose not to be; social pressures handed down from the past is usually to blame. I say discard the hand-me-downs, especially in any 'romance' It is far better to have one's mate beside you as an equal and not trailing behind you as if one is ashamed of her. That attitude, I find disgusting. Intelligence tests show only one thing; how smart men should not have taken it....

Many threads about this topic.
I have one real picture in my profile. I would much rather talk to the Man and find out about him, rather than going by his Photo as to what he is like and make a judgement on looks. I'm just saying. |

I will chat with someone with or without a picture with no assumptions, because they may have legitimate reasons why they did not post a pic. I figure if we ever get close enough that we plan on meeting, at some point they will send a pic. Usually by text message or e-mail.
Personally do not like posting pictures of myself because of those who steal photos. They really don't care what you look like, just need enough photos to create a false identity. Had it happen before. I also have to constantly check to see if the pic has been stolen and used elsewhere without my knowledge.The second reason is I work with kids and I am always concerned about what they see. But I do understand the visual of wanting to get a general idea of what someone looks like. I came up with only posting certain pics on websites like this and other more professional pics on my work and civic related sites and never cross the two. |
