As you know I'm a big believer in asking immediately for a picture whenever someone contacts me with no photo. Recently I've started asking for the last 3 years of their tax returns (in PDF format preferably) as well as three references who are not relatives. Is this wrong?

Why go half way? I think the references should be from ex's. And I think they should also place a large cash deposit against the inevitable waste of time that will ensue.

hehe - no doubt. I just got one that say's she's "cute" and has no viewable profile. Yet she has the ability to email since she initiated contact. I'm sure my profile was just so irresistable that she had to take advantage of the 3 day free trial to contact me. Either that or her boyfriend/husband frequents Match and she didn't want him to see. Guess which one I think it is...

I agree, amjay. We have a saying in the banking industry...."Collateral doesn't make a bad date good, it makes a good date better". Oh, sorry....I got confused....I think the saying was referring to a loan. OK, whatever, same thing.

LOL!

LOL - good one, ann. And you know what? I'm only half joking (about the ex's and about the $$'s)

Uh...you were joking? I have a coffee date with a guy on Wednesday. He must be really new to this because he gave me both his last name AND where he works. As it turns out, I know several people that work in his company. First thing Tuesday morning, who do you think I'm going to be calling quicker than you can say Starbucks.

uh-oh - I almost always give people my name and contact info. It's actually part of my email address so anyone with half a brain could google it and find pages of stuff on me.

I've never had luck with someone who didn't post a pic.

I met one person without a picture and you're right. She was very cute, seemed normal when I met her - but something wasn't right with her. I don't know what it is/was and it's not my problem. Next...
