"Is it us , maybe it is but we are getting fed up with single guys and couples asking for face pics despite us saying specifically we don't give them out . To make matter worse they often don't have any pictures at all of themselves on their profile !!! What gives ??? " You say you won't give them out to total strangers. Just alter it to say you won't give them out at all. Simple. | |||

So its ok for you not to have or provide face pics, but not other people? Bizarre. | |||

As in a game of cards many will want you to show your hand before they show theirs. Unlike a game of cards though, many won't show their hand at all if there is no attraction. This (in)action is then justified by various means usually revolving round well worn phrases such as 'well there message was unsolicited' or 'we didn't fancy them, so what's the point?' The difference with the OP is that, if I am reading their profile correctly, they are upfront and honest about not wanting to share pics, whereas as others will share - but only their terms. If you do not fit with their terms you have as much likelyhood of receiving their pics as you do of receiving ones from the op. | |||

"You'd expect people to travel,potentially book hotels and walk into a public place lookingmfor you with no idea what you look like? If they refuse to send out face pics as well do you come up with a secret code?" It seems to be working judging by the extensive verifications... | |||

Fair dos I'm happy to stand corrected,so they ask for face pics n if they're not to their liking they won't respond with pics of their own......perfectly reasonable | |||

" Fair dos I'm happy to stand corrected,so they ask for face pics n if they're not to their liking they won't respond with pics of their own......perfectly reasonable " It's not a matter of correction, it's a matter of perspective. The OPs stance is just an exaggeration of the one taken by the majority of members. I think their rant is somewhat misplaced, in that in joining sites such as this, we should expect a degree of people wanting to play by their rules, but I just don't see their stance being too different to that of many others on the site. | |||

"How many of us have sent face pics (after chatting) only for that interaction to end there and then without receiving pics from the other party ? I know I have : and I NEVER make first contact (unless my intention is purely social) " People have to be wary of giving out face pics of themselves are there are so many f&ke profile on here. I wouldnt recommend anyone putting their face on their front page. I would also suggest they watermark or otherwise personalise their pics and only supply them after a conversation has taken place. There are quite a few people on here who are in reality sat in their little room all alone and though they dont know it, their minds are totally warped. They sit there managing couples and female profiles even though they are a lonely male and get their jollies out of it. | |||

"Its not a date ! Try match.com if you are a sad single !" What does being single got to do with anything? Most couples & singles like to see who they may be meeting. It's a pretty normal thing. | |||

"OP....you asked if it was you? It is. I think you are going to have to accept that most people do like to see face pics before they agree to meet. Most people like to be attracted physically to the person they are meeting for sex. Most of them. You do things differently which is fine, but it isn't going to change they way others do things by ranting at everyone. It is your issue OP, not everyone else. You clearly have met others who aren't bothered about seeing face pics so why not meet them again while trying to find others that aren't bothered? You aren't going to change the way the majority of people like to do things. You'll be far less ranty once you accept that." | |||

"Its not a date ! Try match.com if you are a sad single !" There's really no need to be rude. It may not be a date but as a single woman I want to put every effort into my own safety. The physical is not so important to me as the personality and mental connection and whilst I rely on my instincts a lot, I still want to see who I'm meeting. For me, going along to an arranged time and place with no idea who I'm actually going to see when I get there is not high on my list. There are two of you so you have each other from a safety aspect. You're not left sitting alone in a pub wondering if the next person through the door is the one who's come to meet you or not. I can't think of a situation in which I'd feel more of a plum. However, I understand that we all do things differently. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for the next person. Perhaps you could try to understand that too? | |||

"OP, I get what you're saying. You don't send pics and you don't expect pics of the other people either. Am I correct? If so, then I understand where you're coming from. We only send face pics off site because we don't want the pics to have fabswingers associated with them. However, we would never meet anyone who refuses to send pictures at all. Having said that, I understand that we are more demanding regarding face pics then others on here. It might be because we have different privacy concerns, but it still amounts to us being more demanding. You have to understand that people are going to have an issue with that. It doesn't mean you have to give in and send your pics, but I do think it involves a level of understanding. Just don't meet the people who want face pics and don't stress over it. -Courtney" Whatever works for you. | |||

"Its not a date ! Try match.com if you are a sad single !" I suspect a lot of people read your rant and were thinking "nah, not for me". I bet that number went through the roof when they read that comment. The answer is easy, run your profile how you want to, meet who you want to and let everyone do what they want to do. Simples...... | |||
