There is an option next to the matches photo that says share my photo with this person....just uploading your photo does not make it public.

I will ask for a photo (when not available), but I don't get the photo given to me. I don't know if it's that the person doesn't have a photo or doesn't want to show it. I give them 7 days to send me the photo and then I'll close the match. You could be a terrific guy, but if you're "hiding", then I'll never know it. I don't judge on the photo alone!!!

I'm w/Dana...One of my can't stands is I can't stand someone who is so shy that they can't or won't open up 2 me. It all starts with this overt modesty in not revealing a photo up front. I don't care what u look like. I wanna know that uv got enough confidence in urself 2 allow me 2 c u up front. I also have never had a match reveal their photo after I've requested 2 c it. I usually give it 2 requests (2 weeks).

By Isabelle on Dec. 2, 2007 7:16 a.m. I'm with Dana and Belovedoooo. When I first signed on I didn't have any photos to post. It took me a few days to take some current pictures and post them. Within 2 days 75% of my matches closed me because of NO PHOTO! Come on guys! Anyone not willing to wait at least a week doesn't deserve my attention or affection!!! Besides, they don't know what they just missed out on! Don't get me wrong I believe in chemistry, but a great personality certainly adds to the attractiveness of any person. I do take offense with the arrogant guy that said many women crop the pictures down to try to hide that they are overweight. How many of us have full body pics. waiting around to post? Give me a break!

Interesting dialog. My take on this is if you do not have a photo to post, and have some interesting matches, take the initiative and start the process!! Just don't wait around until you post the picture - go for it. Then after it is posted take a little more time. My belief is that if no photo then you have the responsibility to be assertive. The photo may be a small part, and I believe you have to make up for it by being the first one to take the initiative.

I am curious why I eHarmony insists on photos that the member is clearly visible? Why can't I put a picture of something of interest, like a vacation photo of a beautiful landscape?

I have opted to make my photo available at a later stage in the communication. Rarely someone will nudge me for a photo earlier but quite a few guys will close the match because there is no photo available. Isn't there something that tells them at what point the photo will be available or are we potentially losing matches because they think there is no photo, period????
