Re: What to do??? 2be: That is a tough one. The woman I'm dating now didn't have a pic in hers when she emailed me. She sent them to me after an email or two and um... WOW! She took them down because she was getting a thousand creepy, sexual stalking emails from guys.
I just received another email yesterday from a woman with no pic. I told her I would only chat with her as a friend since i'm involved, but I still will ask for a pic. Not because I care what she looks like, but I just like to know who I'm talking to. Plus, those people who front with super old photos or some other misrepresentation of who they are... I don't trust. If you're not going to be honest with who you are up front, then I don't want to even be your friend.
But as to your question... I don't know if there is any etiquette. Once you ask for a photo and then turn them down, it's hard NOT to come to the conclusion that you're making a decision based on that pic. Part of me would want to be honest, but the other part would want to make a small white lie excuse to let them down easy.
:( I dunno... that's difficult.
What to do??? superwife: So I'm getting e-mails from the dating sites. SOme of which don't have pics. I don't rule anyopne out based on lack of a pic. SOme don't want to display it publicly.
So I had at least 2 where I requested a pic...they sent it to me...and I wasn't too impressed. So what do I do?? Just ignore? That seems so bitchy, but how do I say 'you're not my type' (which is so lame).
OIne of the guys sent me another e-mail after he sent me the pic, saying something like "what happened...you didn't like my pic??
I know for me, I wouldn't do that. And it did happen to me last year: I'd send a pic, then never hear again. Is there etiquette on this??

Re: What to do??? jillieb44: I don't reply to those with no pic. I even told some persistent ones that I thought if they weren't showing a pic, that they were either married, involved, or had something to hide. To which he replied, you're right.
So, I ask them to post it publicly if their profile is interesting. But for the most part I just ignore them.
Jillie, who is ignoring them ALL at the moment
Re: What to do??? chaotic: I dont know if there is an etiquite, but I agree, no pic, no response. I dont know about the no reply if there is a pic. I have sent a number of emails and been "ignored". I am getting used to it, so it doesnt really matter to me if someone replies or not. (though my picture is posted publicly). Now I just have to figure out what is wrong with my pics
Re: What to do??? jillieb44: I'd rather someone just ignore me than tell me that they're dating someone else, I'm not their type, or some other nonsense.
