FabSwingers.com forum: Demanding a face pic in your first message

This question is more out of intrigue than anything else but on a number of ladies profiles they are demanding you send a face picture with your first contact or they'll delete your message without opening, even when there’s not one of their own on their profile?

Who would send their face to a complete stranger? Would you feel comfortable about this?

If you dont want to send that face pic then dont mail. Sadly most guys either dont read profiles or think that whatever is written in them dont apply to them and mail anyway.

Having a rule like that helps single woman narrow down who is a waste of time to talk to and who isnt.

Nobody is forcing you to send pic. If you don’t want to send one, don’t.

And yes, I’d send one. And I have. I sometimes have my face pics to public. Other times, I don’t. If someone sends me one and I like their face, message, profile etc I’ll send them one back. If not, then I’ll either say I’m not interested or just delete their message. Simple.

Mine is usually on display in some form. I usually leave it till they start to ask personal questions, before asking to see their face.

I have, though won’t anymore. The threat of message deletion is not much of a worry as: they delete it (or never respond) even when I attach it.

If someone messages me who ticks most of my boxes so to speak I will expect to see a face pic early on if they are serious about meeting me.

I won't waste time chatting to someone who won't.

Likewise I am happy to send mine

I specify that a face pic is required. But it’s just a filter really. If a guy messages and says he will send if I’d like him to, I know he’s been polite enough to read my profile. And I usually then send mine to him first.

Sadly most messages women get are from guys who haven’t read our profile, don’t have a decent profile themselves, and is often a crap message like ‘how’s u?’. We filter a lot

I don't often send "cold" messages anyway, but when I do I have no problem sending a face pic with them and usually join Face Pic Friday which is essentially a forum version of the same thing.

Personally I'd rather establish if there is a physical attraction sooner rather than later, than spend time getting to know someone, build a connection with them only to find out there's not an attraction (either direction) further down the line.

I understand nobody is forcing me it just seems a little abrupt. I do have face pics in my friends photos and do send them once I’ve built a rapport with them. I just don’t understand that some blank profiles demand they see a face pic when they have none of their own? It doesn’t make any sense?

Their profile, their rules. If you're not comfortable with it, move on to another that doesn't make that demand from the beginning.

We would never send or ask for a face pic first message, we both want to ascertain we don’t know the person in ‘real’ life first before throwing pics of our faces out to random hopefully strangers

Speaking from experience as a couple. We always asked for a face pic of guys as a safety thing. My ex had a lot of quite explicit pics on our profile and was naturally concerned that she didn't want to meet anyone from her everyday life via this site. We did in fact always send one back once she was assured it was not someone she knew.

It's a sellers market guys so if you want to meet it's up to you???

Men are happy to send "fancy a fuck" messages to a complete stranger, but are unwilling to send a face pic. The vast majority of women need to be attracted to a man, so I don't think they are being unreasonable in asking/demanding to see a face pic. If you don't like their rules, go somewhere else.

Does their profile state ‘I have loads of pictures on my profile?’ If it does, then sure. But if not, then I wouldn’t think so, in my opinion. But others will disagree

I like to make sure we have some rapport and we’re both not known in our private lives before I send mine. I do have some available that are in my friends section and do send them after 2-3 mails. I just put it out there to see if anyone else felt the same as I do. X

A good anology to have is that someone's profile is their house and your message is a knock on their doors.

They will open depending on what they see through the little peephole and their house rules apply at all times.

I wouldn’t expect a face picture in a first message. If it is clear the person has read our profile and has said something interesting and our profiles appear on the surface to be somewhat compatible. I would like to ask for a face picture within a few messages and would send ours in return.

However if we put a “ meet today “ on we do ask for face pictures, just to save time.

As I said further up I have done (both with the handful of "cold" messages I've sent and through things like Face Pic Friday) personally I'd prefer to establish if there's a physical attraction early on in conversation, it doesn't mean an end to the conversation if there's not but it may shape the way the conversation goes from there.

I haven’t got a problem with them asking on their profiles for you to send one, that’s their prerogative. It’s when they message you first asking for a face photo, when they haven’t sent one or got one on their profile. Which I think is incredible arrogant.

That’s a typical scenario i find difficult to make sense of. There must be men that do send a face pic across straight away, I’d be more reluctant to do so.

I wouldn't meet anyone without seeing what they look like, so it's reasonable for both parties to swap pictures. However so many couples ask for pictures without being willing to share theirs, or the classic profiles which say they always reply when a pic is sent. The irony is I think they are generally the profiles that never reply lol..

This.

When my profile is active I usually have a face picture as my profile photo, so I tend to reply to messages that include a face photo also.

I do state so in my profile.

And I’ve asked in message for one before, and said politely that they’re not what I’m looking for, only for them to insult my appearance as a way to make themselves feel better about the rejection lol!

So now, I just stick to saying I’m more likely to reply to a message with a face picture in it, on my profile!

If someone isn’t willing to send a face pic then we don’t engage with them because of time wasters.

If someone was genuinely going to expose someone then you’d have to be C level, or a teacher for it to be even remotely a risk to your job. So I honestly don’t see the reason not to.

It is odd when someone doesn’t have a face pic themselves to ask for one without sending theirs though!

We don't send with first message, and certainly don't demand it. Prefer to see them fairly early on in the conversation though especially after having a chat with a couple who after quite a long chat turned out to be the parents of my eldest's best friend. Had to say sorry but no at that point.

Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet.

Everyone on here is a stranger at some point, unless you already know them "on the outside"

We send them if we like what we see and the profile seems sound.

There are many reasons people may ask for face pics right away but not have their own.

Maybe they've been stalked by an ex and want to make sure the person they are speaking to isn't another incarnation of said ex.

No, that's just different preferences or profile requests - no-one is forcing you to comply, or saying one thing but doing a different one - you either accept their request and comply, or you move onto someone whose requirements you are happy to comply to - it really is that simple

I like to see a pic before I send mine as I had someone follow me back to my daughter's flat once, and knock on the door, after he recognised me in the street.

He put his foot in the door when I told him to go away and shut the door.

So, I ask for a pic first, to see if I want to carry on talking, and send mine. That way he won't know what I look like if I say I'm not interested.

Also, I don't want my children's friends seeing my face on here, or my friend's children, or family members. I had a very good friend's son message me, who I wouldn't trust to not say anything, and I blocked him.

I can trust myself to be discreet, I don't trust other people.

"We would never send or ask for a face pic first message, we both want to ascertain we don’t know the person in ‘real’ life first before throwing pics of our faces out to random hopefully strangers

If you neither send a face pic or ask for one how will you manage ascertain whether you know each other?

Who would send their face to a complete stranger? Would you feel comfortable about this?

I wouldn't send a message at all to anyone with demands on their profile. Canny be annoyed with folk like that

I don't demand it in a first message...but I will want to see one early on to ensure I'm not wasting my time. Would also send mine.

Although you can’t be 100% certain after a conversation it’s quite easy from someone saying whereabouts they live or work etc just in general chitchat that there not likely to be the neighbour, it’s worked out so far, we ask for and send pics after a couple of messages to make sure of attraction but would never demand one straight off, if after talking they wouldn’t send one or after we sent ours wouldn’t then that would be different x

We have it as we want to know we are attracted to the person/people we are talking to. Not about to waste our time on someone that our wont meet as they are not what we find attractive. Im sorry if this seems rude but we have clear face pics so if you message us i assume you find us attractive.

Well i have face photos on my profile so i think it's acceptable for me to want to see someone's fave

Given the nature of the site there needs to be physical attraction and for me that usually comes from facial features.

There's no point in chatting for a while only to find out you don't want anything sexual to hapoen when the other person does.

I'm not physically attracted to that many people so i can be disappointed if i haven't seen their face straight away.

If I'm not attracted and we don't chat I'm not going to remember their face forever, and reveal they're on fab.

The OP has blocked me anyway so they have clearly taken a dislike to me in the past.

How will I cope...

Just to point out i don't think I'm good looking, it's just the attraction needs to be mutual. If someone is messaging and happy just to chat, then I'm less concerned with seeing their face but even then i like to know who I'm chatting to.

Thankyou, and likewise. I just don't want the OP thinking I'm arrogant. I don't remember chatting with them but clearly I peed them off in some way. I do that a lot.

There and to the left a bit

"The OP has blocked me anyway so they have clearly taken a dislike to me in the past.

Or perhaps they looked at your profile decided they didn't match what you are looking for and blocked you to save you coming up in searches in future, or they mailed you without reply and did so to save mailing you again.

Blocks aren't always for negative reasons

It was for the first reason, and sorry if it has caused the lady in question any offence.

I read in a previous thread that it makes filtering of potential suitors a bit easier to whittle down that’s all.

I am a bit of a funny bugger about this

If I saw someone I fancied without much of a profile, I'd send a message without and see what happened

If I saw someone I fancied whose boxes I pretty much ticked, their profile was good and they were verified in person, I'd send one from the gwt go

If, however, if their profile demanded one, I wouldn't even message
