Does not having a profile pic automatically mean you've got no chance with the lady's?

Not automatically but it doesn't help.

Yeah, I tend to avoid. But still better than the ubiquitous dick pic

For me, yes. It screams "I have something to hide".

It is a yes for us. No picture, no chance.

It reduces it significantly. A profile pic doesn't have to be a face pic so no reason not to have something.

I didn't have a pic for the first 5 years of my tenure here, had a couple of meets from guys, but things have improved significantly since I uploaded face pics even though I'm an ugly fucker

I have had meets with women before and I have no picture as a profile. If you have no picture you are just seen less so you need to make up for it in other areas. Not putting it up makes it harder but not impossible as long as when it comes to a picture exchange you have something.

There must be some serious mistrust if you think everyone has something to hide if they have no picture. I would prefer that someone emailed me because of the way I sound in my profile rather than the way I look, but I am not looking for just sex, I like there to be a connection as well as I feel it enhances the experience as a whole.

When I do my own searching I'd never message a profile with no public pictures but as long as you send pictures with your opening message it shouldn't be a problem.

I delete any messages without reading them that don't have a profile picture and I can't see the little attachment symbol to show they've sent pictures.

I will respond to someone because I like the look of the pics as well as the sound of the profile. I also need a connection but I see no point in chatting with someone who might be physically unappealing to me. There is really no reason not to have public pics of some kind.

"Does not having a profile pic automatically mean you've got no chance with the lady's? "

Probably not with every woman, but certainly with a lot, including me.

If pics were sent with the first message, that would be ok but I'd wonder why they had no profile pic, and consider it a bit odd.

Pics or no pics, I don't care. There's a person behind every profile.

Totally agree

In fact in my time I've known a few woman who deliberately removed all their pictures into private .they didn't need the ego boost of lots of messages and by doing this they guaranteed their mail box would become manageable . This meant they had more time to look for a guy who best suited what they were looking for .

Easily done by using filters and doing the messaging yourself. Women who don't use filters are going to be inundated with messages, pics or no pics.

The problem with that approach is it narrows the field to much .something you clearly don't want to do if you are looking for a very particular kind if fun because such fun can only be delivered by a minority in the first place the worst thing you can do in that situation is to narrow your search parameters and base your search primary around shallow things .

To do that can only lead to frustration because you have lowered the odds of success to far.

No, it doesn't. It involves taking the initiative and not sitting around on one's pedestal waiting to be wooed.

I kinda like the whole narrowing of the field. It means I am more likely to get what I want. Fair enough some of you just want sex and that is perfectly fine, but i like to converse a little between sex, maybe even lighthearted flirting over an alcoholic beverage. Am I a little old fashioned? A lot of women and couple's profiles say "read our profile before messaging" some men want that too. The problem is women/couples don't have to look around, perhaps instead of just checking your email actually just have a look you might end up with a gem rather than a guy that messages anything that even hints at a real live vagina or a guy who just disappears before a meet because of a lack of shoes...

Not meant to offend so I hope it doesn't

Forumites very often say how they prefer men to have personalities....

Funny how the same ones say they won't answer mail without pics on his profile.

I always read profiles, I still won't be messaging or replying to someone who has no pictures, it leads me to assume he himself feels that he has to conceal something.
