Is this bad: Winks w/o photos

I find people who wink often don't write back and that seems to be especially true if they have no photo.

So, is it totally perverted to send this:

"Hi - Thanks for winking. Would you have a picture or pair of spare underpants. I'm completely kidding about the underpants but a pic would be great. If needed my match id atgmaildotcom works."

Do you think that automatically puts me in the perv column? I'm not sure I really care because I typically don't do anything with anonymous winkers. Interested in your initial reaction.

PS - I'm also thinking that if they write back I'll send them my REAL picture (walmart bag and all). Bad move?

I've been online way too long...

Bwaaaaa lg!

You don't care what they think, right? so it's kinda funny. But I doubt it will get you any responses....

I've gotten a few winks with no photos. Didn't bother to answer. I finally figured out why: It just makes the process more ponderous. The back and forth required to ask for a photo is just too much effort for an unlikely payoff.

I figure everyone and their brother writes "make me laugh" -- well I figure if they don't get the joke ....

To me it would be hilarious to get a photo of an old dude in a walmart bag with a quick note saying "sorry but that wasn't me in the profile - see attached". I probably wouldn't respond but I'd sure as hell forward it to all my friends...

Just remember though, new members may take a few days for match.com to approve their photo. I've gotten responses from new members with no photo, yet a day or two later, there it was.

I can hardly wait to read the inevitable newbie's post about the perv in a Walmart bag who wrote asking for her panties!

I hate anonymous winkers. #1 they either aren't subscribed or #2 lazy. I rarely if ever respond to them.
