Exactly. Not everyone wants to have things on display without getting to know someone a bit first.

If this site is about meeting people should you not have at least one pic displayed so others can see what you look like (assuming the pic is current and genuine, which is another issue on here)

I can see your point gun but as far as the rules go a profile picture is not required.

Certain jobs would make life hell if you had your face pics up

Imagine the local papers...primary teacher in swinging site photo shame

The taboo nature of such places makes privacy a necessity to a large extent due to such circumstances

And yes...you'd think even teachers are entitled to a life haha

Maybe what they do is working for them .if it didn't I'm sure they'd change it . Like anything with profiles ppl use them as they want and each person will do as much or as little as they see fit .

Alot of folks may not wish pics fired all over Internet or used on fake profiles .

I personally don't see point worrying over what others do or don't do on their profiles.Only profile I need to concern myself with is my own .Others can do as they please

I agree with you Knicks, I generally bypass any profile with no public pics. We all have jobs and we all have people we don't want to know what we do. I'm not expecting face pics but not even one body shot?

So you'd be happy with a fuzzy ,poor light cock pic taken over toilet ect ?? Some pics are far more off putting than having none lol.Think better to zero pic then a really awful one in my opinion .

That I'd agree with but it's back to personal opinion. Some folk must like a picture of a woman holding herself open to look at her mans cum. Me however, it does nothing for.

Why can't you just be happy with your own profile without trying to inflict exacting standards on everyone else's?

You only ever seem to post negatives.

I can't be the only one who's bored by them.

Perhaps if everyone on this site just focused on their own stuff (which the majority do) then people would enjoy the place so much more.

I will never ever be told how I should behave on here.

So many people who obviously have nothing better to do with their time than complain or moan about what others are doing!

I really don't see the OP complaining, merely raising a point about something that happens a lot here.

But perhaps there are internal politics going on that I don't know about.

As I said, for me I just pay those profiles no attention and move on to ones that do have something for me to perv over

You know what question I have about couples profiles, why is there no pictures of the guy, It's just the woman. It always makes me wonder if the guy is so ugly he can't be shown on the profile for fear of scaring away potential meets.

But you know what, I've never felt the need to post endless threads about other peoples profiles it's none of my business why they do the things they do. Fab would be pretty boring if we all conformed to a strict set of profile rules.

It is everyone's Preference and I don't mind anyone hiding their own pics, it's their choice. If I'm interested I will ask to see their face pic, if they don't want to show then it's fine just less chance of meeting.

I have my pics in friends or private.

I will not put them on public.

The main reason;

If any of my clients found out I was on fab and a swinger there is a very big chance that I would lose quite a few contracts in my business, thus, if I lose the work then I do not have enough work for my drivers who would then lose their jobs. I will not take that chance making drivers lose their livelihood so that I can have more chance of fun. I'd rather not, thanks

Also I don't want to scare girls away when they see my face.

Personally without some photos we are not even interested in an exchange of correspondence let alone a meet.

We perfectly understand if someone prefers not to post a public face pic but without even a body shot then why bother?

Additionally if we arrange a meet we will provide a face photo and will expect the same in return. It is simply to cover practicalities - we will actually be able to recognise them when we meet at the bar/club etc.

Of course others might not agree with our preferences and that is their right. However we would not bother looking to meet them.

I have an upper body shot as my avatar and form the pic you can see how well or how sexy/unfit I am, lol

it is easy for anyone to put a body pic on and I don't blame anyone for being suspicions if someone doesn't even have any pics at all.

Hi. I put a face pic on my profile, public, and some private pics. for friends. Thought that was the best of both worlds.

I aint in a vulnerable position, just telling it the way it is. But if it was that abig a deal for me, I wouldn't be here.

Guys in my buisness lose their jobs, it happens and they know it

recently I had to pay 3 lads off because of the terrorist bombings in Paris because after we lost a French Contract

Me personally, I will still have plenty of work to keep me busy

Sometimes in close knit areas the slightest clue can give people away... There are nasty people about who take screenshots and post them to employers etc... Just saying... If people are serious then no probs letting them see privates.

I see your point but it is not the whole story.

Many people will show little or no interest in a profile if there are no public photos posted.

Do what you want obviously but don't be surprised if you cannot get meets if you fail to show public photos.

Aye but fairs fair, if there's 20 great pics of a lovely lady and one "last Turkey in the shop" its a bit lop sided.

The profile balance...and possibly the turkey
