Our opinion is:
When first contacting a potential meet, we like to send a few mails here, then kik and chat a while to build up a certain “trust” and to see if we are all on the same page.
We don’t and wont send face pictures . there are various reasons for this:
Some are:
1. We might be known to the other person(s) and the other person backs out and there is always an uncertainty where the pictures might end up.
2. Phones and PC’s can get virus and the other person could be sending pictures etc without their knowledge.
3. Pictures by text etc mostly do not give an accurate picture of what a person is like.
We like to chat first for a while, then arrange a coffee face to face meet and see what happens. Then everyone has the same level of exposure to everyone else, with no surprises. (hardly a "blind date" as we have chatted awhile)
Generally this has worked well for us . ?

U do what ever works for u and use the site to ur best advantage but I do agree that a coffee puts ever one on a level playing field I don't know how many times i have chatted to some one and they asked a fave pic and decide that I am not for them but they do return the favour and resecently seen a post where some one passed on another's face pic |

I know of several instances of this where "some one passed on another's face pic" .... the temptation is always there |

I wouldn't meet anyone before exchanging pictures first. If they want to use my face pic and pass it on, good luck to them. There are prettier face pics to be stolen lol |

I very rarely send face pics. Have a coffee meet, go your separate ways and then decide on meeting later if both want to. No harm done.
I've been guilty of sending face pics once or twice though. Thankfully they've worked out. |

"We always send face pics to anyone that we are hoping to meet, might be a bit of a gamble but so far so good
Not really into the whole blind date thing.

"Totally agree have to see the other person"
Not only that. A phone call should also be possible, after a short conversation you can arrange a meeting ...

"Would you send face pictures over the internet (email or upload here) / text or kik etc etc to a prospective meet?
If not, what is your reasoning?
"
Yes I'll send a face pic if asked for one but only to people that have verifications and there's a chance we might meet. If they have verifications then you know you're all here for the same reason and not messers. |

"Personally I'd be very dubious about meeting people who won't show their face first.
That's us ruled out then sweetie
No problem...the thought was good while it lasted lol"

For us a pic is a must, saves time in the long run...If people are sad enough to abuse this trust then that's up to them...so far, and fingers crossed, it hasn't been a problem. Has to be an attraction before anything else can happen. |

Send a face pic that looks like it belongs on facebook... That way nothing embarrassing can be leaked and no flack can come your way.
'Yes, thats a picture of me in a suit... What was this site you found it on? And whats that? Swingers? Really? What were you doing there?' |

I been saying send a facebook pic for years.
Does it really matter, guys on here will fuck girls they think are ugly. Even brag about it.
Also, a lot of photo swapping goes on, a lot of guys specifically will just kik or whatsapp photos of themselves with someone else to people.
Anyway, this is the only site online I have used where i know for fact my photos were stolen and used elsewhere. So be careful. |

We are getting very cautious about who we send our face pictures to after some comments have been passed by people we don't know or chatted to. If we get face pics we will respond if interested in that person, if not we will delete the mail containing them. No point hanging on to face pics of people we have no interest in meeting unlike some. |

"I have more luck when I meet people at social events than I do with my face pics I have been told by lots of people (some I was pretty close to) that I dont take good pics lol"
Same here tbh..I hate getting my face pic taken so it's always under duress or the influence. . Neither good  m&g definitely the best way to meet people |

Dont have much faith in any pics sent we received pics from a guy that were about 15 years out of date. Better meet after a chat on the phone and if you dont like walk away. |
