I know I have not posted a picture and I know my profile is really not too bad, but I have sent out many messages with not one response !!

I find that very odd.

Could it be that without a profile picture messages do not go through?

Yes or no

What you have is what we call in the industry as a scammers profile. With a pic you can be checked to see if your pick is stolen or from some other country. Your profile is weak, no offense. Needs beefing up if you want some responses. There are thousands of people here. You gotta stand out. Hope this helps.

What is an avatar? I was not able to create a separate furum topic to ask you this. So apologies.

That which is in place of a picture:
'In computing, an avatar is the graphical representation
of the user or the user's alter ego or character.'

many people would rather not chat with someone that doesnt haveva picture. my first picture was old, but i felt it would seem misleading if i met someone in person. so i put up a new one, a very casual one. the interesting thing is i get more genuine responses with it. for me, it was a lesson learned.
