Meeting without a pic?
| Wed, 12-13-2006 - 2:19pm |
How do you all feel about meeting someone who does not have a picture online? He says he does not have one and does not know how to get one on his profile.

I agree--in this day and age, with digital cameras being so available, there's really no excuse to not have a photo to send. If he's going to do OLD, he needs to get a picture--otherwise, that shows he's not really serious about it.

I would not meet with out a pic first, but that is my preference. I think some men that do not have pics on there profile are not very confident or have a wife or girlfriend already. None of which would float my boat, so to speak. If he complains he only has hard copy pictures, it really is not hard to run up to the corner CVS and scan a pic onto a disk and the staff can help if he needs it. Also you could ask if he could send it via email if he can't figure out how to get it on the profile.

I personally will never agree to meet someone again without seeing a photo first - I did it once, he was very unattractive to me, and it made for a very awkward situation...he'd seen my pictures and we spent a lot of time talking on IM and on the phone, and he was saying stuff like "where have you been all my life?"
If you are a risk taker, go for it! I've met two guys that didn't have a pic. One guy assured me he wasn't a "frog" and believe me he was a real FROG, no attraction AT ALL! This was early on when I would spend too much time talking/email with the guys and get emotionally connected before ever seeing them, a BIG mistake! And this meet was very uncomfortable because I felt like I knew the guy from our conversations, but no way would this ever work!
No Photo #2 guy, well we didn't talk/email but a few times. I did love his deep, sexy voice and he said his PC had crashed and he was rebuilding it, so would get me a pic, but we wanted to meet as I was leaving town for 2 weeks, so I went for it! Well, this guy was very attractive, we hit it off on the first meet (of course his true colors came out after talking on the phone for those 2 weeks I was out of town .. really wanted me to be his "sex slave", go figure.....LOL!) so you just never know what you will get with these guys without a pic. Of course, they have also sent a pic that was 5-10 years YOUNGER than they really are and that is also a big bust when you meet them.
If you meet this guy with no pic, only do it for coffee or a drink so you can get out of there if he turns out to be a FROG! Good Luck.
Yeah, I have a CL guy that said "I’ve never really answered a personal ad so I don’t own a digital camera to send you a picture... But I’ll try to buy a camera and send you a picture." So I joked back after a couple emails and asked if he'd bought that camera yet. To which he replied, "Sorry I did’nt (sic) pick up a camera yet but I’m still very interested in meeting you if your (sic) game. You won’t be disappointed."
I hate it when they tell you that you won't be disappointed. How do THEY know? From his description, he sounds fit and could be attrractive, but how can you tell when they tell you their height, age, build and basic characteristics? I haven't decided if I'll ghost at this point or say that I don't like meeting someone without seeing a picture first. Or just winging it. Who knows.
