There are many members without pictures posted on their profiles. But it's new that someone of them contacted me. There's a guy who has no pictures on his profile and who sent me his questions (1st step). I have some pictures posted. So, I ask myself why did he contact me? Did he really think I'd answer him without requesting any pics? I think it's only fair if both of us know the whole truth about each other. And appearance belongs to the truth. I'm not superficial but I have a bad feeling if someone has no profile pictures.

Did anybody of you make the same experience? Why does he send me a request neglecting the fact that he has no pictures posted? Have you ever answered to someone who had no pics?

When I first joined many moons ago, I communicated with photoless profiles, It never panned out. I will no longer respond to the questions, however if their profile catches my eye, then I will send a ice-breaker as my reply You’re profile caught my attention.. Would love to see a photo..

I'll give them a few days to upload a pic, if they don't -they get closed.

Respond with a photo nudge or an icebreaker request for a photo. But that's it. No photo = no communicado.

I'd rather love someone I can't have than have someone I can't love.

I don't initiate with the photoless but will respond. I won't go past OC without a photo though.

I initiate with no photo. Went all the way to a first meet without the photo. She was bigger than I expected. Way bigger.

I almost married her.

Yep. that's what I do, also.
although, I typically give it a week because of people's work schedules.
The best light for photos.. is usually out of doors, which for most people can only mean: weekends.

I have communicated with matches who had no photo posted. I have even gone out with a match or two who never posted a photo.

Mayhaps I am the only one on here that has the depth to be able to spend a couple of hours with someone even though I may decide that they do not visually appeal to me after meeting them.

The OP may find this guy to be a hunka, hunka burning love in person. One way to guarantee that a particular person is not going to be "the one" is to close them without ever meeting them.

If there's one thing I dislike about FCWs - well, there's a lot more than one lol - it's getting through to eH mail and realizing the woman is not a paid subscriber and has no idea what I look like. And then a photo is requested of me to be sent through our private email.

I don't think "depth" has anything to do with it. I'm on eharm to meet people and I'm paying a fee for the service. It's ridiculous to expect me to be interested in a blue box with the words "request my photo." Opening matches without a pic wastes my time.
