Avatars are not an improvement,its another device to hide behind. See
the pretty kitten,oh pretty, fluffy, kitten impress me with your tender
vittles in the size proportional freshness pouch. Or you
Wile-E-Coyote,seen any waskilly wabbits so full of cute-e-ness todway?
Hide behind your blue boxes,we know who you are anyway.

You are correct ,profiles without photos are scarry. Then you get the
photo and its not someone that appeals to your particular taste and then
feel guilty in different ways for asking for the photo to begin
with....and then have to decide whether to respond again or not. I
figure if you dont own any photos of yourself or a photocopy of a parole
ID then you may have more problems than just loneliness.
If your too beautiful for your own good and want to "evaluate" your
hopeful persuers first then maybe you need to work on that personality
before subjecting the general public to your real or imagined radiance.
