When they don't have a pic
| Wed, 10-26-2005 - 1:38pm |
How do you handle winks when they don't have a pic on their profile?
I'm so sick of it, I just send an email with a blunt "got a pic?".
Is that just too rude? I just don't have the energy to send anything more tactful.

I totally agree with you!!
If you have your pic up - it isn't fair that they aren't sharing what they look like!
There has to be some kind of an attraction - physically anyways before you can even get started!
I think that just sending a message back with that may be just a bit blunt, but maybe you could say, thanks for the wink - but do you have a pic?
Does that make sense?
I totally agree. I believe in fairness. I don't ever email back to anyone who don't have a pic. He wouldn't be emailing me or winking at me if he hasn't seen my pic. Especially the guy is cute, he has no reason not to put up his pic.
In my opinion, it's the hiding from their significant others. everuyone is using OLD so they don't want people to know they are up to no good. I belive that if you are genuinely looking for a partner then why not put up a pic so you can get more chances!
One important thing I learned from OLD was that if the guy hid his profile and still emailing you, chances are he has a wife/gf but still wants to fool around. Don't ever repsond to the guy who has a hidden profile and contacting you.
So now I am a b**ch. I can be nice and well-mannered but most of the time it's not worth replying back. Just hit the delete button. Next!
I must be in the minority here, but I don't think men are hiding something because they don't have their picture up. I don't - simply because like it or not, there is still a stigma attached to online dating. I don't want my family, friends, coworkers, and vendors seeing me - because I know people who surf the dating sites just to find people to make fun of. It's simply not true that anyone who sees someone they know on a dating site is there for the same reason.
That being said, I do get a lot of requests for pictures and I ask to see a lot of pictures. It's never been an issue, even when I was doing the online dating thing back in college and NO ONE had pictures up, because even on a campus of 30,000 people, everyone was too scared to be seen. It's nothing to be sick of, just an extra five minute step.
I do wish that match had a backstage feature like on lava, though...

Taina - can you give me an idea of what you say? This happened to me yesterday and I don't want to hurt his feelings but I also don't want to pursue it. Thanks!
