Photos on Profile! Why not??
Posted by: PoisonIvii Date: May 07, 2008
Why do so many have no pic on their profiles?
Why cant we all just put a pic on our profiles and stop playing Hide and Go seek........
I dont care if you work in some sensitive job where your reputaion may be hurt! are you that embarrased of your singledom? What is the job that stops you from positing a pic?
What is the reaction of the forum?

hurray ..1st post !


just read ur profile (and saw ur pic too ofcourse-pretty !) P-Ivii.

you mentioned that you are NOT looking for creeptastic, asshole, a complete square or a 45yr old mama's boy. your age range 25-49.

Now, you may find this guy with a profile pic, absolutely appealing. lets say around 32. His profile does not state a whole lot but you are interested. Start a conversation, go out with him all is well until suddenly you realise that he is a pro gambler, addicted to strip clubs, and has stopped showering affection on you ---bad !!

Now there was this guy -lets say around 25, similar profile minus the pic.
He contacted you - you seemed less interested, you did not pay much attention. That guy was infact a very well cultured, down to earth with no hangups. But there was no spark, since his picture was not on the profile, and when it was supplied to you, he wasn't your real life Brad Pitt as the 30yr old.

So the effort went vain !

your question I'd answer it by taking my own example here.

1.I have not put a pic up there, infact not written a tiny bit in the profile, since ive only just signed up to this thing. I have been busy so haven't had a chance to update the profile, shall do so at the earliest.

2. When i do update the profile, I am most probably, not ,going to upload a pic. I do not want a female to make a decision- yes or no, based on my photo. I would rather date a woman who would take a moment to actually read my profile (when its updated ofcourse) and see if she would consider me as an option.

you may say that being practical we all need to have physical attraction and whatever else, well, a photo would be supplied at request but only after she has read the profile and made a positive decision.

A pretty face could have serious real life issues. So a woman may end up with a loser just because her "thought" was overpowered by the man's good/bad looks.

And that is not the kind of woman i am after.


As for me, although i do care about the kind of women i date, as long as i am
intellectually stimulated by her presence, i dont care what she looks like.


3. Some people might not put up a pic as they may not have a photogenic face, as stupid as it sounds, its very true. My personal experience with a girl i knew -an absolute goddess, but each time her pic made her look dull and old.

Well the reason I haven't is because I signed up only a minute ago to have a look around, these sites force you to sign up to be able to look around ie use the full search and read profiles.

People are shy is prob the main reason, they don't want to be judged by others unless they are often told they are attractive so aren't concerned it will negatively effect their chances of meeting someone. People will skip over a profile if the photo isn't good while they may have read it if there was no photo is the logic.

Theres also the other side of the coin where the person has a photo but is considered very attractive and gets viewed by everyone just to check them out. They also get massive amounts of mail which they find annoying as people don't read their profile they just look at the photo and go o0o0o hot.

No photo, no interest

I think you need to make the most of your online profile on here and if you want to show people who you are, you need a pic. Having said that, I have to agree that the photo needs to be a good one. They make a huge impression and usually the first one. More power to the people who do put up a good pic tho and get all the replies :D
