I was just "cruisin" the pix of the guys (of course for me) and noticed that most men have no picture of themselves! Why is this I ask? ~Scared? ~ What? .. Because most men own the latest gadgets.

Yeah, there are a ton of guys out there with no pics. While I have no problem chatting with someone who has no pic, I will not even consider meeting anyone without a picture.

I wonder if there are as many females
lacking pics as males. I don't surf them, so I don't know. Maybe they get so excited to join they can't wait for the picture? |

There probably are just as many women without photos.
But these days, it's so incredibly easy to get your pictures online that there really should be no excuses for not having pictures. Other than they simply don't want to post one for some reason. I've heard every excuse under the sun for someone not having a picture. In the end, they're just excuses. |

I feel the same way.
No picture to me means, hiding something. |

I feel the same way. No picture to me means, hiding something. Or they are really worried what others will think of their looks. |

Some don't have pic because they are married, some are ashamed, some don't have pics so that they can have deniability, and some actually don't have the means to post a pic or are not computer literate enough. I know it sounds strange but I know plenty of people who dispite their best efforts think that it is very hard to sign up for something like this and get frustrated easy...and there are still that portion of people who have nothing wrong with them they just don't like pictures....( I use to be one of those people) and no it's not just guys it's women too.

When I ask about pictures, I often get the "give me your email address and I'll send you a picture" response. Then they get mad because I won't give them additional contact info in order to email pictures.

LOL...pure laziness and lust... sorry that was wrong :)some ppl need a stronger connection than a keyboard and if they put the pic out there then a person my speak to them from the attractivness of their pic and never really get to know them. Some ppl are to shy to join topic discussions and meet ppl.Some pretty ppl don't like to be told that they are men and women they don't care about looks therefore they don't see the need to post a pic and they get aggrovated at the share fact that someone needed to see them to communicate... they feel communication and knowledge trumps all and knowing you is not seeing you or you seeing them for that matter. Does anyone find it funny that we look at famous paintings like the "Mona Lisa" and we don't see a image we see each brush stroke and we admire the effort that was put into acheiving the message that it sends, but when given a open door to really get to know someone we almost always worry about the packaging?

For me, it's about being honest from the beginning. If they are not posting a picture for whatever reason, they're not being completely honest about themselves from the start. |

I can understand where you are comming from, I just look at it like this at the end of the day no pic = no future, but if they just need someone to talk too and I don't have to have their face carved into my memory I've lost nothing and maybe helped someone along the way.

When I first came on line I was really hesitant to post pictures because one I was afraid of attracting a kook or getting responses from people I had worked with in a professional setting as a social worker. There professional distance is a big deal; even a safty issue. Knowing convicted felons and profoundly mentally ill have computer access and skills that put mine to shame I was nervous.
But I quickly found out that nice people felt if they stuck their neck out to be honest and upfront they pretty much expect the same thing so I added conservative pictures. Yes I have gotten some responses I would just as soon forget but most are nice and I have come to see the majority who don't post pictures are usually hiding something; usually a partner or a mean mouth where their picture being posted would get their profile flagged. Doesn't mean I run right out and have my picture taken every six weeks for the collectors and neurotics that have to have a photo resume to decide wheather my current looks are acceptable to them. lol But then I don't profess to be anything but what I am. |

There are many reasons...they could be hiding something or from someone, they may not have a camera to take a picture, they may not want a picture on the internet for privacy reasons...and a lot of people are now using sites with cell phones and this site (like many others) don't fully support cell phones.
So it could be they are hiding (for whatever reason) or they don't have the ability to put one up |

Sorry I feel if you can afford a computer and the net you can spring >$20 for a digital camera at Walmart's. I am definitely one of those Technology challenged persons but a clerk will help you if you can not find a friend.
I do believe there are people who are hiding; sometimes for good reason; = abusive Ex usually, which is just too much drama for me. I feel bad for anyone in that situation and support stronger laws but just not going to deal with someone who has to hide. Would be sacrificing too much of my own freedom. |

I feel bad for anyone in that situation and support stronger laws but just not going to deal with someone who has to hide. Would be sacrificing too much of my own freedom. for some it's not that. A lot of people these days use their cell phones instead. My niece, for example, uses her cell for everything and doesn't need a computer. And her neighbors don't use computers either, they use cell phones. And a lot of people (that post in the help forums) would upload a picture but the site isn't compatible with all cell phones. I guess it's the change of times. She can't use the library because they have a block on sites like this, same with her school. She can't use the computer at work or she will get fired. Some people assume that all sites are up with the technology. A person can have the latest technology but that doesn't mean the sites are compatible for it There are a lot of different reasons. That's all I'm saying. Some people don't post because people have been known to steal pictures from sites and use the pictures as themselves. |

What if they did not have to hide what if it was their choice and they are just a private person? Or What if they feel that anybody can take a pic of anybody and post it on a profile it doesn't mean that's what they look like? I'm just asking what if its just a silent statement of get to know me for me.
