I would say so.
Establish a level of attraction from the off would be beneficial.
I see little point in finding common interest, or compatible personality, only to find that you don’t fancy that person.

"It helps  "
Mostly it does, mine are on my profile anyway. However I have been turned down on here, then later at some of the organised socials we have in Wales been told that I am better in person and they wouldn't have said no if they actually met me first. So just keep in mind that yes its good to see a face but its not going to be possible to actually " see who the person is " just from a picture. |

We don't expect a face pic until we've chatted a little while. Chatting helps determine if it's worthwhile going further.
We wouldn't want to send face pics to all and sundry so think that single guys should be able to do similar. |

I agree with all this.
So you wouldn't wait for it to be requested. Just send.

As I said, mine are visible on my public profile and my profile pic is of my face so it will show up in any messages I send. |

We always send a face pic with a first message and don't really reply if people don't send one either, to us it's common sense to want to see what each other looks like, saves the endless messages if there is no attraction x |

Well done, sir
We are not all as bold due to job roles and various other reasons. |

"Are single guys expected to send a face picture first in a private message if they don't display one on profile.
Some thoughts please. "
Expected  NO! Freedom of choice for sending and if the person/s wishes to reply.... |

I don't expect to see a face picture in the first message, everyone is entitled to privacy. Once you have a conversation going then that's the time to swap I feel. |

It's expected by some, even some profiles that say they won't send one straight away ask for one with first message or won't get a reply.
They're usually profiles that have no photos or just some friends only ones and I tend to not bother messaging them because it seems a bit unfair. |

No. The rules and regs and commonly accepted etiquettes are for ALL regardless.
Anyone who tells you different is telling you THEIR expectations of you. Nothing more.... now you decide if you are going to or not .  |

I guess this must resonate with some on here. |

We're the same. If someone does the chat with no meet veris, we'll ask early doors for a picture with something, all phones used here will have a camera. It helps weadle out the time wasters, usually.  |

I wouldn't expect one in a first message. Maybe after chatting a while and if there was definite interest building then I would like to receive a face pic. I would also send a face pic too if I was interested in meeting. |

I haven’t and would never send a photo with any first message. I also scroll pass on any profile that requests one as I would never request one myself. I love the fact that you can build a rap-pore with some one without the shackles of looks being the determining factor as to whether you find them attractive. |

I think whoever sends the first message should include a face pic. Then if you’re interested you should reply with your own.
I’ve been in the position a couple of times, early on in online dating and on fab, where I’ve chatted first and then got a face pic later and didn’t find the person attractive. It makes it very awkward then, especially if the chat had been going well.
I much prefer to swap faces before we get started, that way we both know who we’re talking to and there’s no disappointment later on if we don’t like how the other looks. |

As a guy who scrubs up quite well, and told by others that I'm in pretty good shape, I don't send a clear face photo with a first message, and if they say on their profiles, that no clear face photo means no reply, or instant block, they can take a hike because, you don't actually know that it's a couple, or a lady that you are trying to connect with. With so many fake profiles the chances are that that a deal breaker like the above conditions attached on their profiles can mean that you are actually getting in touch with some Quasemodo look alike who is looking for photos of attractive guys to use himself as profile photos. Apparently it happens quite regularly. |

I wouldn’t expect it but if I was going to start getting to know someone it’s nice to know what they look like.
If I’m keen on someone, I like to send a face picture early on to see if there’s attraction there to carry on |

We wouldn’t expect anything.
We’d definitely prefer a face pic over a cock pic though!
Although there’s no point chatting and chatting and then establish there’s no attraction, so we would hope for one early on…but wouldn’t expect it.
We like to see who we chat to.

Wouldn’t say it’s expected but if you want a response I’d say it’s a good idea , ladies are bombarded with messages on here so it will help you stand out |
