I understand people not wanting to post a pic. But I think being willing to exchange pics privately is fine. And honestly, anybody who can't say hello before needing a pic of the bewbies isn't someone I would care to talk to.

Prefer profile with pictures but can live without, I hate one liners, people who just put on their profile what they are searching for and nothing else. No need also to put cocks/pussy shots in first/second/third e-mail.Anyway the most important thing to me is to have something to read to not make mistake and mail a gay guy or others.

Pics are not necessary, but it does help to be able to put a face to what I am reading. Plus, when I see a beautiful face, sure, I'm going to perv. LOL

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.

Stephan

Stephan,
Noted that you posted under charlotte's profile and I'm glad you did!

Speaking of pictures, that desert nude is great! I'd have to dip beth in a vat of SPF 75 to get a shot like that - and I don't think they'd let us post of picture of her covered with white stuff!

Then again they did approve the new one we just posted of her delivering my morning coffee, with two dollops of white stuff on her.
