How do people manage sharing face pics?
A couple reached out to us, after a couple of messages asked to swap face pictures, we sent first, but they never did, they did follow up complementing us and asking more questions, which they never responded to.
Is it just me who finds this kind of behaviour very rude?
I guess we'll take an approach of you show us yours then we'll show you ours, particularly when it's the other couple asking first.
So, how do you all manage this?

I personally manage it by wearing other people's faces. |

We don't send face pics as they tell so little about attraction. Attraction is more about confidence, personality and how they carry themselves for us. We prefer to meet for coffee instead of making the wrong decision on a face pic. |

Agreed. We are the same to be honest.  |

I send if asked . Attraction can be skin deep for some and deeper for others so hard to know . Best not to take it serious and just let it go if someone isn’t into a face . Can always wear a bag over me head  |

As a man I’ve tried this approach when asked for one, or else insist they send one first since they asked, but usually thats the end of chat. I’m absolutely stunning, so I see it as their loss!

Same here 
Convos have ended abruptly because we won't send a face pic! I reckon we'd probably be incompatible anyway. |

Yeah I'm not giving anyone the right of first refusal. If someone asks and hasn't sent one then it's not going to work out for them.
Besides that, facepics can be surprisingly misleading. I've met women who look much nicer in person simply because they don't have great photos.
I've also met women who look quite different because of excessive filtering or old photos.
Besides all that. I actually enjoy the excitement of a blind date. |

I manage it by never sharing facepics. If anyone has an issue with that then we weren't compatible in the first place so it's no big loss.
The general rule of thumb is that whoever asks must send first but there is no obligation to return the favour.

And you're perfectly entitled to do that. Nobody should ever feel pressurised into sending a face pic.
Most people will have a social meet first anyway, so all can be revealed there. It's also why many just meet through the organised socials. |

Totally agree, I think that while a pic can give you an initial impression of whether you're attracted to the profile or not, it tells you nothing about their personality(ies) or how well you'll get along. Always helps when you can have a laugh and enjoy company along the way 😈 |

We just don't and say so on the profile. We'd rather meet over coffee for everyone to get a chance to see and get a feel for each other. If it doesn't click that's fine, we still enjoy chatting with the various people on the lifestyle. We love discovering the diversity of backgrounds and life turns which eventually brought us all to this same place. We grew to love that social side...
Face pics not only feel like they're a step too far in terms of online personal details, but they could also preemptively kill the chance for a good chat with interesting people, irrelevant of eventual attraction. |
