A picture is nice, but it doesn't matter much.

I once met a woman purely from her picture. She was super model beautiful but, after meeting her in person, I found I have stepped in deeper puddles than what she came across as..

Like the limit nature of trying to tell all about one's self in a profile, picking a picture that portray's what one truely looks like is just as daunting.

I like a profile with a picture, but I usually contact someone from the content of their profile or journal...

I just met a dom recently, it was a blind meeting, and at first sight, I was disappointed and didn't think I was gonna play with him, as I thought he was unattractive.

But what a great personality, he was just so gentlemanly, so warm and so nice, when we sat down and started talking, everything changed, and we did play and have a great time, and frankly, I now think his pretty awesome.

My x-dom whom I had a full time 24/7 live in relationship with him for 2 years, I remembered the first time I met him, I also thought, he wasn't easy on the eye, but...., such a great sense of humour, he keeps me laughing throughout play, his humiliation play is awesome, I can't help but laugh at all the silly things he calls me and makes me do. And well..., I'm still deeply inlove with him, too bad he wanted to go to places where I don't wanna go.

So, I think for me, no point being good looking if his personality isn't attractive, but if he isn't good looking with a great personality, everything changes. So I prefer no pictures and just blind meet, with just physical descriptions of each other. I think if I see someone who is unattractive in the picture online already, it would be more difficult to form a connection as certain unfair prejudice already formed.

I agree with this; I have frequently wished they had not included a picture so I could meet the 3 dimensional man all at once.

Greta, you have my sympathy for this.
