I am new to this whole online dating scene. I am not a paying member yet, and I have not posted a pic. Is it completely necessary to post one? I mean we all have personal/professional lives and I am a bit apprehensive about posting my pic to the public. I have great pics, its not that I have anything to hide, but I would hate for it to damage my career in any way or make me look bad. I don't want everyone knowing that I belong to a dating site.
I could understand once communication begins and a match sends you messages, I would probably send my pic then. Also, could anyone see our pics or just our matches?
I automatically close any match without a picture. To me, they're saying, "I think I'm more special than you, and even though YOU need to post a pic, I DON'T." Secondly, eharmony doesn't post your pic to the public. Only your matches can see it. Other sites that do allow you to post to the public are a whole different situation, in my opinion. I stopped using those sites because like you, I don't see why the entire public should get to see my pictures. It reeks of desperation to me. But on this site I've posted 3, and at no time have I felt creeped out or anything. So few people see them, anyway, and only those you've been matched with.
