Yup, I'm shallow

Got a wink from a guy with a decent profile, but hidden pictures.
Yes, I should have known better.
But I took the bait.
Asked to see the pics.
He's a little troll man.
Sigh. Now I either ghost, tell him I'm not interested, or do a coffee meet.


Thanks!
Things have been really slow lately. I can't even remember the last date I was on.
Guess I was hoping in vain.
I'm trying to graciously accept the fact that I'm not dating right now because it's God's way of telling me I don't have the time or energy to invest in it.
But seriously - I should have known better about the hidden pictures. There's always a reason they're hidden, and it's never good.
Ghosting is not always bad.
I disagree though, that hiding pics is always bad. I don't want people I know seeing me online, so I choose to share them once I know I don't know them IRL. I'm no troll, either.
This man might have a heart of gold, be the kindest gentlest sweetest man on the planet and you won't give him a chance to prove his worth. We need to be more kinder, more considerate, pictures may not show the true inner-soul of a decent man...
....I'm just kidding. A picture is worth 1000 words. Ghost, ghost, ghost. Don't waste your precious time.
(How many people did I suck in with that?)
ROFLOL
Yup, my eyes were rolling at that one.
We aren't quite yet to April Fool's Day!
Oh, I'm sure that sort of thing happens a lot in OLD. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
He chose to not post his photos. He knows he will be asked for them. I'd actually question why he didn't post a photo with his profile, but that's something else again...
There's an easy and hard way to online rejection.
Easy way: Post a profile with photos and not know.
Hard way: Post a profile with photos on request- Risk the chance of not hearing back.
I had a guy write me once assuring me that he was very attractive, but couldn't post a photo because of his "prominent" law enforcement position. So I invited him to send a pic, he did, and I wasn't interested. I didn't write him back, but he did...to state that I "must not have found him attractive". He was right, but I still didn't respond.
In cases like this, I don't think you owe an explanation. Ignore, ghost, block...whatever. It's okay.
There was a guy from CL that was like that with me.
