Their choice, they have the premium on the market...

Some of them are spoilt for choice...they are possibly missing out on some one by not replying. But I haven't bothered contacting people after the first day, then most of the people I contacted hadn't logged on for about a year so my messages haven't been read.
I could easily dig out some photo's from when I was a bit younger and maybe a bit more fanciable. Or have a few nice ones taken, but I cant be bothered.
Personally I think there's a lot of arrogance amongst some [not all though] of the women on this site I just cant handle, so I'm not interested.

As much as us women like to say looks arent important, they are usually one of the first things that attracts you to someone, in my opinion anyway. I personally dont answer people without a pic either cos it makes me think, if they aint got a pic what are they hiding???? Another one thats just my opinion and i know its superficial and beauty is only skin deep and all that but for me I like to know who im talking too

Agree with the girls. I like to see what you look like because there has to be some physical attraction.
It is a dating site after all, not just a chat room so most people here are looking for a date/sex/relationship whatever, and therefore will need to fancy the person.

How can you have physical attraction to a image in a photo ??
But if you've never met anyone without a photo up, you'll never know if its true.
I'm not sure a nice photo will mean you will fancy the person when you meet them, some people are more attractive in photo's then real life, and viceversa. I think even if they have a photo, you have to decide if they are being honest.
If I ever start contacting women off this site, I'll probably pick ones with or without photos. A good profile will probably tell you more then a photo.

It might be just as vague as liking their vague appearance - perhaps their build/frame, size/proportion in facial features etc - even if it's just being able to see how someone looks with their hair down. I do know what you mean though, it's usually a surprise to most people when they actually meet them and they don't look anything like the pic

Obviously other people are the experts because I've never met anyone off these types sites. But I can imagine not all photo's are totally true to life.
Bit like Asian arranged marriages, apparently they are more successful then western marriages, and the couple sometimes never meet until the wedding day.
Maybe that would be best for Laura..her Hubby picked by her Parents

Of course you can fancy someone from a photo, otherwise what is the point in anyone putting photo's up in the first place?
And I do know people can look different in the flesh but it gives you an idea what they are like and also you know they aren't afraid to show their faces.

My attitude is the more on the profile the better...looks at my age arent as important as the way a man is with me emotionally and mentally...and of course cares for my son...

I agree if photo's are absolutely accurate....the problem is you are more likely to be attracted to the better photo's. Which reading between the lines of people on this message board, doesn't always work. Wonder how much more success this site would have if no one had photo's up. Maybe no worse, maybe better ?
But as I said, I've never met anyone off these sites, and maybe unlikely I will.

I dont think it would run any better as personalities would still clash and also there are lots of people who have got together from the forums and that probably wouldn't have happened if people couldn't see the pic beside the person who was posting.

But would these people have been attracted to each other if they hadn't chatted on the forums??..if they had just left it up to the photo's ?
Too be honest it puzzles me why people don't use the forums more..Seems to be fairly successful of getting people together.
I suppose it human nature to want to see photos though.
