Hello, i was just wondering if it was possible for you to put photos besides the members that are online as you have to go through the list checking people out. It would save a lot of time, or prehaps when random pics come up it could show if they are online or not? Thanks anyway its still a very good FREE site x

thats what i thought at first red

Sounds a good idea to me. If I'm just looking to talk to people, then obviously it doesn't matter what they look like, and personality/taste in music, etc is far more important. If however I'm looking for a date/relationship or similar, then physical attration obviously plays a part for practically everyone, however much they may protest otherwise!

By the way - my first post!

Hello & welcome .... and I agree, i'd rather see a pic first too

We all say we shouldnt but we do look at the pictures (however the prettiest girl I took out so far from an interent site didnt have a phot posted), but they tell you all sorts - not just looks. How they are dressed, the background (house, holiday, pub) where they are, it all adds a bit of colout to the person you are talking to.

Yes to the two of you that didnt really aprove of my pic suggestion. I .... like a good percentage of the of human race am interested in a physical attraction , i do not deny the fact there is more to a person than looks as i have encountered it the opposite way a round.
But at the end of the day none of us walk around blindfolded in a pub or social situations where we may want to meet some-one...or do you? We all have our own different tastes as i am sure you both do ..i wonder.. do you decorate your home the way that appeals to you? or dress in a way that appeals to you? drive a car that appeals to you...? ect ect...Personally i think people with out pics have something to hide..but that is my opinion.. I also have the right to choose. I hope the owner of website will consider what i and others have suggested ..and if not..then it is his choice. I still enjoy this site. Thanks for reading.

I agree, this would make the site much more functional. It is certainly important for many people.

photos are usually easier to remember visually wise than just a list of names. dont have to waste time keep looking at the same ones cos we've forgotten who they then.

I love to know what the people look like who I'm talking/messaging to. Because there are so many members, as browolf so rightly says, a visual is far easier to remember than the names, especially as there are quite a few similar names.
Using the discussion boards where we are seeing each others pictures alongside makes you feel like you know people.
