How ironic you want someone to trust you and yet you cannot trust others with a photo of yourself... perhaps you are not actually ready to meet anyone and a chat with a therapist might prove instructive,,,,

You don't necessarily need to post a picture to a website. There are various reasons to not do it. However, it does make it more difficult to attract someone. Often, people will post avatars or pictures of interests instead. But, at some point, you will have to safely share a picture or web chat with someone to verify your identity, if your ultimate goal is to meet someone in person.

Yeah, like you're hiding the most basic human factor here... The ability to see who you actually are. The problem with not having anything but a text format for any of it makes "no pic dating" sketchy and potentially troublesome.
Otherwise, not showing a face has the basic call of "They're hiding something" and given the nature of the site (Dating on all levels), it makes faceless people look more like:
-Potential cheaters/people looking to have affairs (If I hide my face and follow the set up, nobody finds out... Well until it's too late really.)
-Too self conscious (So you run the risk of getting ditched on a potential meet up with a "Faceless person" because they chickened out. "No face = Nobody to get mad at = easy out form no backlash" type of a thing.)
-Talking for someone else (In essence it's someone else doing the blind dating for someone else at the expense of the person they're talking to with a pic)
-Wanting the ability to just disappear from out of nowhere (So you can just ignore or drop anyone you're talking to with the illusion of "no real consequence" for the action)
-Someone looking for attention but remaining hidden (instead of getting out of a bad relationship using a person as a emotional crutch so they'll just stay in the mess they're enabling to happen)
-Potential Scammer (They have no actual pic so they'll be able to say they are anyone. If no two stories from people on the site add up to what's been said it gives the scammer more hangtime because they can say that the people causing the problem for them are the real scammers making trouble.)

There's also a new one that I've noticed popping up and t mixes up with the "disappearing act" a lot. Faceless people wanting to go right to email, sending pix and then asking you to rewrite your own intro/description of your profile to them in the vernacular of the country they're looking to scam. This way they can't be detected as easily by people reading over a profile and are writing more than some "generic crap sentence that really explains nothing about a person".

It's to everyone's benefit to be real as much as you can (especially since you lack presence and voice inflection) if you mean it on a dating site. Otherwise "Wishy-washy movie BS" of "If they love me for me the face won't matter" doesn't really apply when you have nothing else to go on but how a person articulates themself on a general font, in general page lay out and all within a general dating area (the miles you're willing to go around you = the general public, mentality and subculture you're looking to be dating within).

"Can anyone LOVE AND TRUST me in moment without seeing my pic"

Why should anyone love you at all without ever meeting you in person?

This is spot on.
