Is this bad: Winks w/o photos

I find people who wink often don't write back and that seems to be especially true if they have no photo.

So, is it totally perverted to send this:

"Hi - Thanks for winking. Would you have a picture or pair of spare underpants. I'm completely kidding about the underpants but a pic would be great. If needed my match id atgmaildotcom works."

Do you think that automatically puts me in the perv column? I'm not sure I really care because I typically don't do anything with anonymous winkers. Interested in your initial reaction.

LG, you are SLAYING me!!!

To be fair to both sides, though.....anyone know where I can get a picture of that old lady from "Something About Mary"? You know the one who was the sun addict, was all wrinkled, and had boobs hanging down to her....well, hanging down.

That would be the female equivalent of your WalMart guy, LG. It would be a riot to do as you had suggested....send an email saying "Sorry that wasn't really me in my profile" and sending that picture along.

I don't know if you're really looking for a serious answer or not, but here's one anyway:

If you are at all interested in the person based on their profile and are willing to take a chance on them sending a photo, then it's a bad idea, IMO, as humor is REALLY hard to get across in email, especially a quirky sense of humor such as yours. I would put an email like that in the "trying too hard to be funny and falling flat" category if I didn't know you.

Not exactly what you're looking for but somewhat close:

Ok, fair enough. Then why respond at all? By sending that email, it seems like you are "punishing" them for having the audacity to not share your preference to not get winks from people without photos ;-).

As I read through the responses I thought to myself that I must be a real stick-in-the-mud b/c while everyone else thought it would be hilarious, I thought it was a bad idea. Glad I saw your response. I agree with you. Interested or not in winks without photos - sending an email like that is a bad idea. "We" get Lg's sense of humour - the recepient online wouldn't appreciate it.

He is so fed up now he's gonna have fun (as he himself interprets it). Maybe that's why we get all those obnoxious emails wanting to "plug our flowers".
