FabSwingers.com forum: Face pic or no reply

Seems a very big amount of accounts now say must include a face pic in the first message or will be blocked or won’t reply. We get several fake profiles message us every day so for that reason we would never send a face pic to someone straight away for fear we are sending pictures to fake pages, what’s people’s thoughts on this?

We'd never message those profiles to be honest. Too much emphasis on looks prior to even chatting is not good, imo

The ones I think are funny are the "face pics with first message" and they don't have any pics up themselves...

Don't send face pictures ! ....simples ....err on the cautious side

What we find funny is profiles that are a day old insisting on face pictures from well validated profiles

NO CHANCE!

We completely agree with you. Everyone knows to be discreet here so asking for a face pic immediately sets the alarm bells ringing.

And then there are those that, after a little conversation, ask for face pics but don't offer theirs first!

Definitely wouldn’t entertain a profile demanding a face pic. It’s too risky to send face pics, unless you’ve been chatting for a while & built up a little trust.

If we are messaging someone - we always attach our face picture weather someone is demanding one or not. Only basic manners to introduce yourself properly.

On other hand - we very rarely send that first message ourselves. Person's profile has to be enticing enough for that to happen. And we would never message random day old blank profiles regardless if they demand a face pic or not.

Get many messages stating that they prefer exchanging photos after chatting for a bit and tend to mostly avoid them - I see it as a completely pointless exercise - you can be "chatting for a bit" with absolutely anyone - it will not guarantee that a person is any more trustworthy or reliable. What it does guarantee is you wasting a lot of time "chatting for a bit" with many people only to find you're not even remotely attracted to most of them anyway.

My single profile was one of them "face pic or no reply" profiles and genuinely I didn't know weather laugh or cry at how many people felt the need to give off to me about it.

What everyone forgets is that if someone's profile doesn't fall within their own preferences - they don't have to message them at all

I think alot of it would come down to the attitude of the profile.. i wouldn't usually, even if it states it in the bio.. yet i still often get a reply

On the other hand if the profile is kind a genuine and politely asking they i would consider it.. but that would be down to my choice to reciprocate the kindness.. not because of a demand!

I also think you get what you put in and attract depending on your attitude here.

Attraction is key.. but that doesn't necessarily only present itself physically/aesthetically

I prefer depth and being shallow is super unattractive to me regardless of how nice someone may be to look at

I also think that demanding profiles are a vicious circle as they only really attract the types they dont want as the ones they do want likely roll their eyes abd move past.. leading to even further demand and aggression within their bio based on the frustration of not getting the type of people they are trying to attract... and round and round it goes.

I mean isn't it so much better to build an attraction based outside of physicality and then find yourself physically attracted when sharing pics.. rather than demanding pics and then realising you have no other type of attraction... that gets boring very fast and usually leads to once off meets and a constant search for next pretty sack of flesh to use and develop nothing with... the thought of it actually spooks me

This. I don't demand them in my profile but I do ask for one quite quickly if I don't receive one. I alway send one in response.

I've no issue sharing a face pic.

I have an issue with people making demands

But as someone said above if that is how a person wants to start an interaction I'd be avoiding them anyway

I wouldn't entertain any conversation without establishing if there were some kind of physical attraction in the first place. I have no problem in sending face pictures and never any issue in asking for or receiving them.

Intiating a convo and looking for a face pic early is very understandble. It shows If there is physical attraction there rather than talking non stop for a prolonged period to realize there is no attraction.

If I was here looking to have sex with everyone I chat to then possibly a face pic might be of more importance.

I'm happy to get to know people even if there is no physical attraction and no possibility of meeting so I've never asked for one at any stage of any conversation in 4 years here.

I'm happy to share one if the other person asks for one once the conversation is relaxed enough and we get passed the opening exchanges.

Yes I've been blocked after some have asked and received but that's life.

We always ask for face pictures to be fair and if you don't want to share that's ok... but please remember we are not going to meet people without at least seeing the other people..

What annoy us lately is getting a picture of a couple and it's like they are in a dark room or 300 miles away from the camera.

So in short why ask to see so we are not wasting anyone's time

Each to their own I suppose , but does hamstring one when ones face is reminiscent of a bulldog chawing on a thistle ..

I WOULD say I’ve a nice personality but I don’t like to tell porky pies

We don't demand one or we won't reply and we'd probably avoid those who make that demand. However we will suggest exchanging face pics quite early on if we feel we like the cut of someone's jib and it seems like we might get along. That way both parties can establish if there's attraction before investing too much time.

"What's stopping the fake account sending fake pics? "

Yep, especially when they're good-looking fake pics and sent with the first message in order to get one back. We have a couple half our age regularly message us. The same message with the same face pics each time, so flattering

There was a local woman here a few years back cracked me up. She showed me what she sent to requests for a face pic....She was wearing a horse head mask

It was brilliant

I just don't bother messaging them. No problem if it is based on looks, each to their own but the nature of the site people should be allowed their privacy.

No harm no foul, move on to the next one.

As a rule from previous "blind date" experience we ask for face photos before every arranged meeting now. Except if we "bump" into someone at a club/event or party. If this doesn't suit the people we are chatting to then that's fine also. We never force anyone to send them.

I don't mind sending face pics at first, I set them to delete after viewing though.

That's as a single guy. I'm sure it's different for couples or women sending them.

But it helps separate yourself from the rest.

Now, I do wait till I chat a little before I send th X rated stuff

some people are boobs, bum, vag, cock people...

SOME people are face and/or eyes people... those people I find suffer the most here cause the one thing that might get them going is basically barred...

so, I can understand when people ask for face pics... doesn't mean I will necessarily accomodate those requests thoguh

What’s wrong with a quick video chat to verify everyone is who they say they are and you get to see what people look like. Cuts out the you first thing as well. #justsaying

I rarely share face pics here, if im chatting to someone and we are getting on, ive no problem doing a video call or sending them a live video. I actually find it nerve wracking doing the initial exchange of face pics if it's someone in interested in

I can only speak for myself here but I wouldn't be having sex with someone I'm not attracted to.

That does not necessarily mean traditionally/stereotypically "good looking" but I must be attracted to them and obviously hope the reverse is true. It would not be a great experience for me, nor would I be able to get into the right frame of mind for great sex to happen if I didn't find a person attractive
