Hi Decimus, Thanks for the props. I weighed in with "I look at both." Truth is, I'm a lot more likely to respond to someone with a photo, though. I find people without photos on their profile are more likely to be casual, curious observers and not really interested in anything beyond chat buddies. I already have to weed out my messenger lists a few times a year as is, I don't need to make that even more taxing. I've nothing against people who are looking for a chat fix, mind you, it's just not my bag. Clearly, photos don't instantly mean a person is 'genuine' or real or what not; I've just found that they're often a sign, combined with a few other clues (tone of writing, discussion of interests outside of the lifestyle, etc etc) that a person might be more inclined to use this site to meet people in real life.
