I just went through my matches and sent out 10 requests for communication. Why pay for a service and not use it to the fullest extent? Fingers crossed!

Liven up your life - send requests to all that are not totally unsuitable (close those)

Don't be disappointed if you don't get too many answers, but I hope you do!

I find if you send a communication to those without photos you are more likely to a get a response. Sometimes their profile isn't complete and they haven't uploaded a photo yet.(or maybe they're just playing games). I have found a few hotties this way.

Good luck!

It's true. Messaging people without photos does result in a slightly higher response rate. (no one with a photo ever responded to me starting communications, but 3 without them did respond - out of about 150 total communication attempts)

Unfortunately it's been my experience that those without photos who responded to me didn't have photos for a good reason.

I thought non-payers couldn't post photos, which means a higher percentage of photoless people are probaby non-paying, which means you should get a lower response rate from those without photos.

I know hardly any of them ever respond to a request for photo- maybe 5% if that.

Incorrect, mrflyer -- everyone can post a photo; you just need to be a subscriber in order to see your matches' photos.
