How are people supposed to know there's a connection if they can't see what you're like and what you're looking for? |

The trouble is most people won't even consider connecting with you until they have got an idea of what you look like, so you may not get that connection in the first place.
You are absolutely right that it's your choice, but it's also their choice not to be interested in people without photos. As long as you're OK with that, everybody's happy. |

Yep totally your choice. But they'll pass you by based on a blank profile (you might be a bit of a minger  ) |

"Message me Il happily send pics I just choose not to have them public.. it’s a sex site and for my career I think it’s the sensible thing to do. "
I also have a career believe it or not.. I'd pass you by as you seem to have a bit of a unfriendly demeanour |

I’m actually a bit gutted I have come across that way, it wasn’t my intention I was just wanting some feedback. That’s the last thing I want, I’m very friendly but maybe I need to work on that if it’s coming across the opposite. That’s surprising bloody hell |

OP if you went to a club, or wherever with the intention of meeting someone for potential relationships and when you get there, everyone had a cardboard box on their head. Later on you find out there was a particular person that was miffed that you didn't come over to find out more about them and they would have taken the box off if you'd clicked. World doesn't work like that I'm afraid. Scroll the forums and you'll find a large number of single men who can't get noticed on here despite putting in the time and effort on their profile. |

Personally I would get rid of the last 2 paragraphs. They're very negative and a bit whiny. |

Post a face pic then?... I mean I don't. But then I'm fem so not an issue here
But you do read on your profile like you think you're 'something', and looks only go that far. And you ain't showing yours?... No shock there's no response? |

"Fair point you don't have to have a face pic up just any pic will do look at some of mine they are pic's of my socks "
Just to add to this.....I'd advise against a cock pic. That's something people also don't want revealed until the appropriate time. |

Most women won't open a message without looking at the profile first and if there are no pics will move on to the next one.
To use the shop window analogy, if you don't have a sign up or give some idea of what you are selling, everyone will just keep walking on passed.
Lack of consistency between what is said and what is displayed will not attract anyone. |

"I will say what I’m looking for and send pics to someone once we have spoke and I feel is not wasting my time "
Yeh, that’s probably your biggest ego flex right there. Even I would find it hard to want to talk to someone who has no pics, no profile and wants me to prove in some way that I’m not wasting ‘their’ time.
A change of attitude is a positive thing op. #thinkpossitive   |

There's absolutely nothing in your profile or anything you've said in here to create any interest. I'd describe it as bland (that's being polite).
The sense I get is you seem to think as if we were to meet you'd be doing me the favour!
Thanks, but no thanks.

Op-use reply +quote so we know who you’re responding to
The trouble is, you’re unlikely to get connections without at least something on your profile.
It’s your profile to run as you wish though, and if it’s working for you then it’s fine……. |

Yep this is spot on.
If the profile doesn't grab my attention I won't interact with the person. Most of us have jobs and prefer to keep this part of our lives private but we still can make an effort with our profiles.
Of course you don't have to have pics up that's entirely your perogative OP but it's also other people's choice to ignore any messages from blank profiles. Especially ones who have negative comments on theirs about others. |

We also value anonymity to a point due to running our own business and the fact that Fab life, for us, is something between us and no-one in our families or vanilla friends have a clue what we do.
But still we have 82 public pics. None show faces but we hope it gives the couples and singles we look for a good idea of our bodies and our vibe. I just don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t add a few pics. You don’t have to show your face but it will enhance your profile.
You say you don’t do veris (or words to that effect) - but why? When you make a decision on a big purchase do you not read reviews and do some research first? No, no money is changing hands but to entrust your time and body (and safety) to someone else most people need to have some verification that the person they are meeting is a) real b) not a nutter and c) up to the task.
For a bit of insight … and this isn’t because we get attention and it’s ‘gone to our heads’ as per your profile, it’s a simple supply and demand/time constraints issue … we get upwards of 700 views on our profile a day. We don’t have time to look at them all. Sometimes we don’t look at all but just read messages received. If we do look it’s always an interesting profile pic or tagline that will catch our eyes. A profile without pics is never going to jump off the page at us and even the best message or a wink is not going to be responded to if the profile doesn’t look as if there’s been any effort put into it. Add to that that there’s so many single men on here and a lot of couples especially aren’t looking for single men then if you’re serious about wanting to meet people you have to stand out to get someone to chat in the first place.
It’s your choice, of course, but if you want success here then I think you need to have a rethink and change the tune a bit.

Like a shop window with nothing in it you won’t draw many people inside.
But it is absolutely your choice.
For extra added anonymity delete the profile altogether. |

I think you'll find majority of people have a career in the fab world. However, if you went to a club would you wear a mask in case someone recognised you? You don't need to put public face pics but you need to show something to get people's attention. You don't really sell yourself well, abs those last 2 paragraphs make you sound bitter which is unattractive |

A profile is a reflection of someone's personality and a blank one doesn't give me anything to go off. If someone can't take 5 mins to write something, conversation is not going too be much effort on their part I feel. |

It's not just the thread. But to address the pic thing....do you think anyone I work with would identify me based on my profile pic?

You’re very clear on this thread that you’re going to do you, your way.
It’s your profile so good for you, stick to your guns.
Your target market is giving you valuable feedback which you can choose to utilise or continue to push back on if you want.
You use Fab in the way it works for you.
Good luck in your search  |

I think it's unlikely you'll get as far as people messaging you if you have no photos to tempt people with. Why would they? If this is as you describe it "a sex site," don't you think people want to chat with people they find attractive? Why would they chat to you in the first place if they can't see you and they have many alternatives they can see. People are not going to talk to the numerous blank profiles on the off chance they will find one of them attractive. They'll just go straight to the many they can see.
You are perfectly capable of not showing your face. You can obscure it with editing or just not have it in a photo. It is what the vast majority of people do on here.
As you say, it's entirely your choice but it seems a very unnecessary and counterproductive approach. |

Like most women I check a profile before even opening a message. If there's no attraction there's no point ergo I am more likely to open the mail of a man I can see I'm attracted to.
Also it seems a bit unfair, you can see their pics but you expect to chat a bit before showing yours?
As others have said, how you use fab is up to you but if you're actively looking to connect with people then I'd take note of the advice you've been given. |
