My profile has no photos now. Considering that about half the profile photos I've seen leave one with no idea what the subject actually looks like, I find this a bit much.

There are many main profile pictures with nudity or suggestive posing. But often no nudity at all and not even suggestive still gets turned down….. very puzzling and frustrating.

It seems it is easier to submit a totally vanilla picture and get it approved then later switch with the one you want.

Now, how many pics have I seen with someone wearing handcuffs, and a friend was rejected because they had a riding crop in the photograph. Later resubmitted and it was accepted.

I have had a perfectly good picture uploaded only to be rejected because it was blurred. The picture that was sent back was blurred, massively so, looked like it had been put behind a gaussian filter. It had no blur on the picture at all on sending. I resubmitted the same blurred picture and it was accepted and it came out clear- weird!

I am a firm believer that if rules exist, then they are for all to follow.

And its possible that some of them don't want "unattractive" people to have their pics up and some are just like ... Hey, everybody's beautiful ... In their own way. :)

I'm not sure but.... maybe it didn't get the OK because it was professional?  The photos we submit have to be ones that we've taken ourselves or in my case my Sir took.  Just a thought.  I understand the frustration, but don't give up  just submit another photo.

Nope, the background is far back, and out-of-focus. There is a stone/brick wall, and a smudge of something leafy. No people, animals, or even silouettes.

Check it out.

Meh. I do appreciate the words of encouragement, but it's not like this place needs another msub. I've been teetering on wiping the profile clean and just using it to reply to the occasional forum thread.

No offense, I have a hard time believing that was the picture. Sorry, but that picture would not have been rejected on any planet on any site, for anything wrong with it.

Status: offline 		It might be that the subject isn't looking directly into the camera so it questions the fact as to if the subject knows his picture is being taken. Obviously you know it's you but someone reviewing pictures has no idea what you look like. There is a rule about the picture having to have been taken by yourself. Unless you set the timer function ran off down the field and looked away from the camera it is unlikely you took that picture. If you had sent more than one photo for approval at the time it may have been approved, who knows. I think it is important that if you send one photo the photo clearly shows the subject is aware of the picture being taken.

This opinion is only based on the fact when people have posted images of themselves here in the past and asked what is wrong with the image the subject nine times out of ten isn't looking into the camera.

Having said all that I have also seen a naked woman laying on her back with her eyes closed used as a primary photo on a male profile, so who knows.

Oh yes, they are quite arbitrary with the photo rules. I submitted some that was my face, with some photoshop work done to make it look like a painting -- denied.

I knew someone who just wanted a pic of her eyes on there -- denied. Their reason "must show a complete face" or something like that. Funny, I've seen profile pics with someone wearnig a full face mask and those are "ok" but not just an eye pic? Weak. Really really weak. So....no pics on my profile. I refuse to be indiscreet to bow to photo 'rules.'

Anyone wants my pic, they can ask. Cuts way down on troll e-mails anyway.
