OK, I'm not sure on this one. He's the one that I asked for the pic and he kind of glossed over it and said, "So how do you look? I’m 6’3 195 pounds. I workout three times a week." So still basically telling me NOTHING. AND I describe myself in my ad. I wrote back saying, "I prefer not to continue communication too long without a picture. I'm not shallow or all about looks, but I believe that attraction is necessary. As for me, I described myself pretty well in the profile:" and then COPIED my text from the ad which said, "I am a SWF, intelligent, attractive, and active. I have brown hair, hazel eyes, and at 5'5" have a slim/athletic build. I am often told that I am quite attractive but tend to be a little shy until I get to know you."

I figured that would either shut him up or make him act. I fully expected to not hear from him again but he wrote back one more time saying he has some pics at home and will send one. He does seem kinda funny and the banter back and forth has been OK so far. I guess I will wait and see on the picture. I'm definitely up for keeping options open after Mr. Handsy.

Just hope he sends recent pics. Time will tell.

I've had the same dialogue with two guys on CL and both never wrote me again. It's funny how men want you to be detailed about your description but when you ask them, they think saying 6'0; 195 lbs. is sufficient.
