"I need physical attraction so I need a picture." Yup! How many excuses have you had as to why they "can't" Utter bollox! Frankly if the guy who works with D every day doesn't recognise him/us, bloody unlikely anyone else will (well apart from those we've fucked of course) | |||

"I delete any message if the profile doesn't have one public pic.There's absolutely nothing to attract me to them. We can all add something that won't identify us to others that may know us in real life. Most of us want to remain private. " Ditto! We've also had the friends request tribe of course.. You accept and are greeted with pictures of a close up boob, pussy or cock. Thanks for that and unfriend | |||

"No pics - no response. Time is precious I want to know if there's at least some aesthetic attraction before engaging in conversation. Mrs " You mean you won't respond to "How are you?" Or "free tonight?" | |||

"As a guy playing solo ( im in an open marraige to a gorgeous and sexy woman) i find this is the major stumbling block. When i can get a positive response from a couple they insist on a face pic but dont reciptocate or even respond to say im not for them. Im an adult and accept im not for everyone and i dont expect anything except manners i dont need to be ghosted. Im do find the word search they insist on to find the hidden password in thier profile amusing though, passes the time" Evidently we're guilty of said word search and frankly many who quote also attach pictures, telling us they have read our profile.. So won't be worrying if you find it amusing. However to ghost after someone does include pictures on request is rude, you're right! | |||

"I'm not meeting right now, but when I was, I would always ensure face pics were exchanged in the first couple of messages. If I'm not attracted to their face, then there won't be any sex happening. I also have the filter up that says if someone doesn't have public photos, they can't message me ... but it doesn't work " Yes!! We tried that filter too x | |||

"Can I just ask, those saying that face pics are a must in a first message... If you message first, I assume you all attach face pics in that message too? " Yes we do! Seem to be in the minority mind. Left visible for 48ish hours and if not reciprocal we delete them. | |||

"I don't mind as long as someone attaches them in a message - but if they've no public ones, I would want several varied photos attaching to a message. " The dark indiscernible ones or sunglasses mostly.. | |||

"Honestly we ignore profiles like this. Question is, apart from the obvious fantasists and pic hunters, why do many (as we've experienced) expect you'll engage with them? Understand being discreet and feel we are. Take this month alone, we've been winked by one of D's ex colleagues (face pics, and he's still friends with him on Facebook) he had a current (bragging) colleague actually show him our profile, claiming to have met "them" (he winked and messaged..) He's still completely ignorant to fact it is us and we swing, because I don't fancy him and it'd be too close if I did! D's response was akin to "cool story!" But conversely, Pictureless profiles messaging, sending requests and fabbing.. Does anyone actually respond? No soapbox preaching, we just find it weird.. " I do but sometimes I get bored. I'm more attracted to the mind behind the pics... after all, I met The Redhead on IRC. | |||

"What about those who work in sensitive positions? I've met detectives, policemen and serving army officers. I can understand their reluctance to post public pictures. " Face pics, yes totally agree. But I'm sure people can have a pic of something that shows them off, but doesnt identify them. I work in a public facing role & have not yet been correctly recognised. | |||

Left visible for 48ish hours and if not reciprocal we delete them." I would agree that you are in a minority (and it is great that you do that) It's a peculiarity of sites like Fab that the majority want to hold on to their anonymity whilst (effectively) insisting that others give theirs up, just to be even considered for an initial conversation ... and the best of it is, people do I mean I have my face pic on show, primarily cos I'm past worrying what people think of others being sexual beings - plus I don't have a job that is public facing and I don't have kids | |||

We have kids. One is in her 20's and my job is public facing and in an arena that it would be frowned upon.. Mr | |||

"What i find more alarming is someones showing your profile to who he believes is a "vanilla couple" , thankfully this time it was actually you and not another collegue , id be wondering who else has he been showing it too . Its poor taste , lack of discretion and akin to revenge porn (just without it being shared online) but bringing it too the attention of others , Does he not realise the distress that could cost someone." He only showed me, but yes distasteful even if he did know.. He's under the impression that I trust him.. Fool! Besides Y said I work with him, not that I like him. The lifestyle has been discussed derogatorily in front of me a few times and I merely shrug and say "each to their own' I think Y was trying to illustrate the point that we have many pictures and are still not recognised.. Mr x | |||

"We spent a year ‘dating’ a lady who didn’t have pictures on her profile. She was very private - and also a ballet dancer and very beautiful. Not all pictureless profiles are fake or time wasters (but most of them probably are), some people are just nervous about putting themselves out there. However, you need to be very good at written communication to compensate for it. x" This! Tbh I used to have public pics on show, but the barrage of messages (moreso than having none) made me think twice about doing that again Polite respectful people get added as a friend, but I really don't lose sleep or give a fuck about anyone that cares that I don't have any public pics on show | |||
