Yes, I am wondering why a small percentage of men do not have a photo
posted. I wasn't able to post a photo until just recently, but, how does
anyone really expect to get to know someone or expect to attract someone
compatible, if they only include a few words,or sentences, most of them
spelled wrong, and grammar completely incorrect, and no photo.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained..

Unless you are really spoiled or a trust fund baby,
what do you usually get when you give nothing?
You get nothing...
So, if you want someone to be your friend or more,
try putting more into your profile
and post a recently taken full -length photo.

I strongly agree on the amount of content I am finding in the profiles
of people(women on my part). I know I tried to express who I am in the
content of my profile. But the picture thing is a different issue. Like
you said you did not have one till rescently. I am working on getting
one made to post for a few reasons that have been brought up in other
threads on this topic I do not have a photo that I can post, YET.

the photo thing has already been discussed to death. In before a
million more dudes without photos explain that they don't want people to
judge them on that, but on their personality, lol

I agree that it may be short profiles and no pics will probably have a
major impact on people responding or sending the initial message. With
that said I have a question for you. What is some one like myself to do
since i don't like to brag or even write about my self because i just
don't know what to say? But some times i do know what to say i just
don't know how to say it. Aside from that if i were to tell alot of
details i highly dought that anyone belive it any way, and if they did
they would think the wrong thing about me, because of stereo typing. I
would like to hear your thoughts as well as anyone else who would care
to share their opion on this matter. If you need more details on this
matter send me a message, asking what ever it is you need, I'm happy to
answer any questions that you have. Thank you and have a great day

Umm, I think I said this in another thread:

this is the internet so you have to consider the medium. People without
pictures are simply not going to get the same responses since the
internet is a visually based environment. People are going to associate
your comments with your photo, whether they want to or not. Because of
that, if you choose not to have ANY picture then you are going to be
lumped into the same grouping as ALL the people w/o pics.

My suggestion to those people is to simply choose a photo of something
they enjoy like a car or something so people have a visual cue to
separate them from everyone else.

Hmmm,
Maybe people are entering this medium for the first time, maybe they
aren't completely set on committing in this environment. There are many
resons I am sure, so why push, why make it an issue? If people don't
provide a picture that's their business. If the site was 100% certain
that pictures are a "must be posted", they would have made it a
requirment. Right now they don't, so let it go, let us non-providers
suffer and never hook as you claim, but whatever you do, let us do it
our way, live as we see fit. Grow up already.

i think everyone should have a photo

In regards to mitchdamuscles' comments. I feel that we can speak of
ourselves without bragging.
In regards to someone else's comments, I am very new to this website,
and even newer to the community forum, so I have not read anything about
this particular topic.
Please consider the fact that not everyone has been online in this "just
say hi" website,& in the community forum for as long as you or someone
else has.

Back to Mitch and his Muscles: If we are worried and affected by all
the things that people MIGHT think about what we say or don't say, do or
don't do, no one would say or do anything. :-)

And if a person has trouble expressing him or herself, or doesn't want
to talk to others, or is just shy,
then I really don't know what to suggest.

People have to make an effort if they want to meet others.
And the more complex a person is, the more there is to say.

If you don't want to leave an element of doubt, then a person needs to
learn to be able to express themselves in such a way as to remove all
doubt, or hopefully, at least most of it.

There is a saying though, "You can't please all of the people all of the
time". We might be able to please some of the people, some of the time.
But, truly, I personally am not here to win a popularity contest with
all of the people online.

If I make some good friends, that would be really awesome.

However, the main reason I am here, is to find that one good man who is
custom-crafted just for me, as I am for him.

I know he's out there somewhere, I'm just not sure where...

Rapunzel's hair doesn't flow all the way down to the very base of the
tower, so my white knight is going to have to get very innovative in
climbing the tower :-)
and my sweet voice doesn't emanate over all the hills and far away (like
the song by Led Zeppelin)
...so I am using more modern high tech means of communication in the
hopes of getting and keeping the attention of my fine, rugged "Forever
Man". In case he might be on this or another website.

There are always going to be pro's and con's with everything that
happens and with everything that is said.
I think that if people decide that they want to communicate with words,
and photos to get to know other people, then they need to sharpen their
communication skills, especially with words, and people...please be
realistic with yourselves and with others.
No one is or ever will be perfect, except the Lord.
Since we are not perfect, we shouldn't expect that in others.

If you let yourself go and don't keep yourself fit,
then don't expect to find someone who does take pride in who they are
and how they look. It doesn't work that way.

I ride a bike, 10-15 miles a day sometimes, for instance.

If the only exercise you get, is to walk from the car to the grocery
store, and back to your car....
Or from the refrigerator to the couch and back,
during commercials, then,
don't expect to find an athletic person who is going to want to be with
a motivationless couch potato....
No offense meant, but it is the truth..And sometimes the truth
hurts...It's better to face it than be in denial....

To Geo with no picture....You say....Grow up?

Who are you talking to, when you make that comment?

Do you tell everyone who has an opinion
other than yours to "grow up" ?

And what makes you think you are an authority on anything?....

sounds like you have a serious attitude problem, dude.

Rapunzel,
If you had read all of the comments, some that are associated with the
same question/comments in other forums here, maybe you wouldn't have
replied in such a way. I never claimed to be an authority on anything. I
just made the comment that people should be allowed to persue or not
persue in any way they feel they want to. Calling people idiots and
lazy, or fat and ugly because they do not post a picture is absurd.

YOU KNOW WHAT SHE SOUNDS LIKE HERE....A MIMIC OF EVERY COSM LADIES HOME
JOURNAL, TV MOVIE ETC., ETC., ETC., SHE Has EVER READ AND every TV
PROGRAM SHE HAS EVER WATCHED. JUST A SPEW OF RECORDINGS OF TRIVIA,
SAYINGS, QUOTES, ETC., ETC., AND SEEMS TO FEEL SHE IS ALWAYS A VICTIM
AND SHE SCREAMS ABOUT EVERYONE SHE DOESNT AGREE WITH THAT IS A
MALE...SORRY..ITS JUST MY OPINION .

AND THE FACT SHE CANT TAKE A JOKE OR TEASE OR PRANK OR PRODING AND THEN
TO CONTINUE TO HARASS ONE IN FURTHER EMAILS LONG AFTER THE ORIGINAL
DISCUSSION/DISAGREEMENT (WHICH SHE SAYS BELOW IT IS GOOD TO HAVE ONES
OWN OPINION.... BUT WITH OUT BEING CALLED AND REBUKED WITH NAME CALLING
WOULD BE NICE)

Hey to you too.

who would love to speak with, meet, get to know & build a long lasting
relationship with one good man who is
intelligent, okay trying here lol

honest, ...as long as it doesn't offend your attitude

high caliber, as long as it meets your specific narrow standards

completely heterosexual, monogamous & marriage minded... they are mostly
taken

tall,

strong,

muscular,

masculine,

hard working & hard-

but tender & gentle...

STORY BOOK


What do you mean by your first sentence to me?
it was a moment to get a rise from you to see what YOU are made of....

All the Man hating going on?
defensive is a good word right now...

What do you mean by that?
read between the lines....


And well you wish my photo was larger?
over 40? need glasses? target marketing to a specific age, has a need
for a precise clear photo and a little larger text as a courtesy to
others...

I'm glad it isn't.
denial argumentative paranoid?...

My photo is much more than what some offer...
probably..
which doesn't make it better, makes it hard to convey the story of the
image presented....its communication at its very core...and more people
get connected with clear photos, it's a given...

And anyway, Who I am, is way more important,
than what I look like....
sorry ...second only to your looks and appearance ...in jobs ...in
dating ...in which side of the street one chooses to walk on... as it
defies the very core of men as visual creatures...gods creation as it is
cant be improved upon by your denial as to what is important and what is
only important as a point of your disagreement.


If I am interested in someone and he in me,
we can meet in person.
right!! Okay

Thanks for the blessings.
thank you.



just by your most basic answers you show a lot about who you are and
your attitude.

positive?
attractive?
manners?
appearance?
social skills?
intelligence?
argumentative?
paranoid?
narrow minded?
a follower and not a leader?
closed minded?
judgmental?
superficial?

over50? maybe 12 good years left....to date and mate and find a sincere
sacrificing non superficial log term relationship.



conversation would of been nice and an intelligent tit for tat...instead
of focusing for the negative...


Wasn't intended to inflame or offend. A rise
yes....conversation...debate...make you think, not with your emotions
but with your brain ....sure.

Don't be offended and fall into the victim syndrome kk.

lol

take that ...lol

do you want to read the email she sent me?

it was regarding my reply to this:
http://www.justsayhi.com/topic/show/675

Here is the email she sent me:
" I've had more than enough of your silly comments and profanity. Why
don't you clean up that rude, foul mouth of yours.
If you care for your Mother so much, then let her read the disgusting
profanity that you so freely use towards others.
You are a self absorbed, spoiled little Issaquah brat.
Grow up & find some courtesy and integrity and some maturity. You don't
have a clue about anything important & you act like you know it all.
And while you're at it, have your mother wash your mouth out with
industrial strength soap...
I have family who live right near Lake Sammamish....
I feel sorry for your neighbors and anyone who has any dealings with
your sorry self."

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dude, she sent me some hatemail too.

Seriously, this woman is fucking crazy. Look at how often she refers to
her "long silky hair"? XD

this thread is too damn funny.

THIS IS SOME MORE...I DIDN'T SEE TILL NOW THAT I HAD OTHER MAIL FROM
HER....GEEEEEEEEEZZS

you guys arent the only ones she sent me an nasty email too
i think i pissed her off more when i replied deffending myself
cause she wrote back maybe it was the line your twice my age a fifty
states away why are you even bothering with me ...proboblly didnt make
her feel aany better cause she wrote back silly boy what you think only
people your age can talk too you....but my point was if she were talking
to me in one of these blogs were its an open forum is one thing but she
emailed me in private and isnt this supposed to be a dating site

i mean its no wonder shes single with an attitude and a mouth like that
i mean she called me an aspiring moron and said i feel sorry for your
son to have such a quick tempered angry man for a father .....wich is
totally out of line you can insult me all you want but when it comes to
my son and how he is raised i do my best to give him a better life than
the one i have and she doesnt know me ...i dont know what she was trying
to accomplishwith a nasy email but to be supprised when people defend
themselves and insult them further and in a privite form like an email
is just plain stupid

My thing is, if you aren't interested in the person without a pic or a
short profile just skip them. No need to have a coronary over it.
