So, this guy sends me a wink but he doesn't have a photo in his profile. I respond by writing, "Thank you for contacting me. Could you please send a photo?" And I include my off-site email address.


He responds with, "I'll send one later." Okay. So I decide to wait.


The next day he writes, "Hey beautiful ...what happened? still want to do tea or coffee or chat on the phone?"


Sigh

I never under any circumstances reply to those who ignore my request for a photo.

Learned my lessone early one once or twice with people who continued emailing and then sent a photo.

I'm kind of in that predicament right now too, I am at Open Communication with a guy on eH that has no picture posted. I sent an email on the site asking him for one saying that it is only fair that if he has seen my picture that I know what he looks like. I really hate asking for one (it seems superficial) but really I guess I shouldn't and it isn't superficial or shallow. I have had enough experiences where the person didn't look like their picture though so it may not even help!

Good example of how I handle this:

3 nights ago as I was learning about spm - I got an IM and the person was one town over with no photo. I asked her for one. Which she promptly sent.

The lesson I've learned is that those who send when asked generally have little to hide. I'm meeting her for lunch today so we'll see how well the picture matches the person...

Excellent point lg. We'll see how it goes with this guy and the picture. I just asked so if I get one or a request for my real email so he can send one, we'll see but if he dodges it or ghosts, then I'll know!

Good luck on your lunch meeting! I hope it all goes well!

I've never met anyone who does look like his picture, but fair enough, all guys I met looked somewhat similar to their pics. Yeah, I hope your guys honor your requests.
Hey, LG, update us & good luck!

jh, sounds like he's confused you with someone else!

And who told him "Hey beautiful" was appropriate at this stage??!! It's what guys use when they can't remember a lady's name.

I don't bother with anyone who doesn't show their pic upfront.
