You message someone initially with a face picture attached as most profiles request this.The person replies and you begin talking over several messages - all is going well.

Then you ask to see a face picture as you've already sent one and you would like to know who you're talking too.. sounds fair right?

The reply never happens and you see that your messages just get deleted. This has happened more than 3 times. So confusing.

Just don't comply to their requirements and make them send you one before

If they didn’t send one back in the next message, I’d ask for it straight away. And if they didn’t reply, block ‘em.

I usually have face pics on my profile, but if I don’t and someone sends me one and I like the look of them, I’ll send them one back instantly.

That's what I don't get. If they're not interested why give the impression they are for the next 6 messages?

I would suspect you have not been talking to who you thought, perhaps not even the gender you thought

Maybe you’re a lot hotter than them and they liked the attention they got, and knew a face pic would put you off

I have no idea why men send their face and penis pics to random men off the internet

I have zero respect for any genuine woman , who demands a man is idiotic enough to send their face pic to an unknown recipient on the internet x

Hopefully by replying to messages and engaging in conversation with someone does not mean im interested in them. Sometimes its polite to answer question being asked by someone rather than to ignore the messages.

I nearly always send a face picture if I have received one from someone who is making an effort to initiate a conversation (this excludes the one liners and the pushy ones asking to meet before even saying hello properly). Can’t think of any reason why I wouldn’t, unless of course I wasn’t who I was claiming to be.

To be fair, unless I was genuinely really interested in the guy I wouldn't send a face picture even if he had sent me one after a few messages.

Maybe she's just uncomfortable and wants to wait until you've chatted for a while longer? Saying this though, you have every right to want to see a face picture even if she doesn't want to send one and I don't think you're being unreasonable. I mean, it is important to know if there's an attraction otherwise you're just wasting your time and getting to know each other for no reason.

I'd persevere if I was interested and maybe ask why they aren't sending pictures to see if there's a reason. But if you're not too bothered I'd just block. There's plenty who will happily send face pictures.

I like to show my face on cam after sending pictures I’ve found that so much better than seeing pictures for 10 years ago or edited pictures it’s unbelievable how much that goes on

Surely someone needs to send a face pic? Yes you may be sending one to someone you don't know, but surely that's better than setting up a blind date and potentially meeting up with your aunt/uncle/son/daughter/boss/mates spouse coz neither have sent face pics?!

And yes, that surely must have been a typo about zero respect.....

I agree - how do you establish attraction if no face pics are swapped?

The "genuine woman" thing I think what was meant was any profile that is genuinely a woman and not a bloke pretending to be a woman - although disagree with the zero respect thing

your imagination

The thing with face pics is, some won't be honest when they get one, and say 'sorry, you're not my type'. They'll keep chatting and flirting rather than risk hurting someone's feelings, but then further down the line when they're asked to send one back, or meet, panic sets in, and rather than do the adult thing and say you're not their type as they should have said in the first place, they'll just ignore and block you, because it's easy to walk away from someone online, and they somehow think that just cutting off contact and leaving someone puzzled is preferable to being honest.

Forget about them and move on OP.. they already have! Maybe don't be so ready to jump in the with a face pic right away in future

agree about the pic but does it REALLY have to be in first message? i certainly would not send one with an opening message! and he did put a comma in the zero respect bit although i read it and was about to explode at him too until i took a second look !!!! it was a bit errrrr ambiguous

It's a difficult one though to which there is no right answer - leave it too long and you risk having found a "connection" with someone only to not find them physically attractive or worse still have hopes rise of more only to find they don't find you attractive - send too soon and it could kill things dead right away - on balance I think I'd prefer the latter

Doesn't need to be on the first message at all, send it when you're comfortable as far as I'm concerned.

Honestly not sure if the comma is correct or not

Of course I dont blanket say I have zero respect for all women , nor would that make sense or be in context

Damn it's simple

No one knows at first who is behind a profile claiming to be female

Statistically many claiming to be female or couples are of course random men

It is not too difficult after a few articulate messages to gain confidence a profile is as claimed

Of course face pics from both sides need to be exchanged within a timely manner

If a profile actually is hosted by a lady and she is demanding a face pic before her genuine status is established, then I have no respect for her perspective, I think her unreasonable, misguided, and not capable of the depth of thought and understanding that I would be looking for , they are blocked, man ,woman, I know not

In essence anyone demanding or expecting a face pic first message , is requesting a man send his face to any random man from the world wide internet , which I think it could be articulated with examples why this may not be the most sensible behaviour a man could exhibit

I'd suggest if a woman only talks to the men who fold they will indeed be picking some weak minded ,desperate? men?

Really quite simple

Just because YOU know you're genuine, you must accept , in reality you demand a man send his pic to a completely unknown recipient, that is stupidity on his behalf and unreasonable on yours

Not unreasonable but it just narrows who I talk to. I’m not bothered if someone doesn’t want to, I just move on to someone who is more open.

I disagree with the "weak minded, desperate" bit tho. Some are quite happy to send a face pic, doesn't make them all weak minded or desperate.

I never demand a face pic, it’s either given or not. I just move on if there isn’t one. Like I said, I’m not desperate to meet anyone and I would rather not message someone in the hope I do end up liking them. Messaging blindly is not my thing.

Couldn’t agree more. Unless I’ve iniatiated the contact I expect face pics to be sent to me first. Not necessarily on the first message but in a timely fashion once interest is established.

If I was the one to contact them first I would expect that I’d be the one who would send them first.

If they don’t like it then it’s not an issue, but it does also mean they aren’t for me. Hardly unreasonable or stupidity on anyone’s part, just a case of expectations not matching.

If I was the one to contact them first I would expect that I’d be the one who would send them first.

If they don’t like it then it’s not an issue, but it does also mean they aren’t for me. Hardly unreasonable or stupidity on anyone’s part, just a case of expectations not matching."

I rarely open messages if there is no pics on profile. If I do and there isn’t one in the message then I don’t continue. My interest is lost straight there and then.

"I wouldn’t chat to anyone that doesn’t have a face pic on profile or send one in first message. Not interested in wasting time to find out I don’t have an attraction to their face.

Just because YOU know you're genuine, you must accept , in reality you demand a man send his pic to a completely unknown recipient, that is stupidity on his behalf and unreasonable on yours

You are correct there are plenty in the Desperate category

"You message someone initially with a face picture attached as most profiles request this.The person replies and you begin talking over several messages - all is going well.

Then you ask to see a face picture as you've already sent one and you would like to know who you're talking too.. sounds fair right?

The reply never happens and you see that your messages just get deleted. This has happened more than 3 times. So confusing.

I have no idea why men send their face and penis pics to random men off the internet

I have zero respect for any genuine woman , who demands a man is idiotic enough to send their face pic to an unknown recipient on the internet x

Surely someone needs to send a face pic? Yes you may be sending one to someone you don't know, but surely that's better than setting up a blind date and potentially meeting up with your aunt/uncle/son/daughter/boss/mates spouse coz neither have sent face pics?!

And yes, that surely must have been a typo about zero respect.....

P

agree about the pic but does it REALLY have to be in first message? i certainly would not send one with an opening message! and he did put a comma in the zero respect bit although i read it and was about to explode at him too until i took a second look !!!! it was a bit errrrr ambiguous

Honestly not sure if the comma is correct or not

Of course I dont blanket say I have zero respect for all women , nor would that make sense or be in context

Damn it's simple

No one knows at first who is behind a profile claiming to be female

Statistically many claiming to be female or couples are of course random men

It is not too difficult after a few articulate messages to gain confidence a profile is as claimed

Of course face pics from both sides need to be exchanged within a timely manner

If a profile actually is hosted by a lady and she is demanding a face pic before her genuine status is established, then I have no respect for her perspective, I think her unreasonable, misguided, and not capable of the depth of thought and understanding that I would be looking for , they are blocked, man ,woman, I know not

In essence anyone demanding or expecting a face pic first message , is requesting a man send his face to any random man from the world wide internet , which I think it could be articulated with examples why this may not be the most sensible behaviour a man could exhibit

I'd suggest if a woman only talks to the men who fold they will indeed be picking some weak minded ,desperate? men?

Really quite simple

Well it would have been if you'd have said that first time round.

I disagree with the "weak minded, desperate" bit tho. Some are quite happy to send a face pic, doesn't make them all weak minded or desperate.

P

I’m definitely not weak minded or desperate.

We must be super mega desperados Lola.... we have our faces on our profiles.

P"

I have nothing to hide, most people outside of fab know what I’m into. I go to many socials on fab so many that go, know my face. Not sure why I need to hide it. I just won’t have naked pics on show. Face or boobs and I went with face.

The OP sometimes has a face pic on display, it’s what attracted me to him. Does that make him desperate? He’s a very good looking guy and certainly could catch most women’s eye.

I definitely am much more interested if I get a face picture from the outset!

I'm one of the people who hates sending face pics and I don't ask for them either. If I chat with someone and I get on with them then ye before we meet I'll send one. But I won't send one in the first messages. It doesn't mean I'm desperate or not genuine. I just hate sending face pics I keep most things private on here as I've learnt the hard way the more info etc you give on here the more people try and use it against you. If people think that's time wasting then so be it I'm not changing how I do things.

Obviously this works both ways

I too use it as a filter , anyone demanding a face pic first 2 messages is blocked, and I will move onto a lady who is more forward thinking and open

I don’t demand though. I just don’t continue. I have a type I’m attracted to. Quirky looking men usually.
