Maybe I'm being paranoid or asking too much. But I find myself becoming dubious when people have only one photo and 'don't have any more on here'. It's not like it is hard to upload photos is it? Someone could ask me for a photo of me with today's date written on my right boob in green felt tip and I could have it on site in about 5 minutes.
Having been messed around by someone who as it turned out only had one face photo and who dodged taking or sending another for a bit before I called him out as a fake and he did a vanishing act... it does concern me. Especially seeing as after I blocked and reported that person I went on to receive suspicious and near identical messages from more than one profile, both photo verified too.
So does anyone else raise an eyebrow when only one pic is available? |

"never trust any profile with just one photo ....... its usually stolen anyhow"
you can pinch loads of pics just as easy as pinching one.
There's plenty with no pics at all |

I don't bother with any profile that has very little bio and only a couple of pics. I tend to take my time in getting to know someone first anyways. By the time I have decided to meet, I have had several pics, exchanged a few kik messages and maybe the odd phone call or two... |

"we only have one public photo, but have more in friends only gallary, dont se the problem, we dont want our pics seem by everyone"
I don't mean public photos, I mean when I asked someone who wants a meet if they have any more photos than the one they sent (also public) it was a no. |

I know what you mean.... "

But if you were to head to Google to find a pic of 'mid 30s male' to use on a profile you'd only get one pic and it would be hard to find more photos of the same person. |

But you cant pinch people private pics that match the decor and surroundings - thats why we only have people on our friends list who we have actually met in person because they are the only ones that can see them  |

"So how many should someone have then?"
A couple... 2 or 3... can all be private for all I care as long as they are available! I have 18 public photos and still get asked for more (by people I've never spoken to).
I wouldn't expect anyone to meet me based on a close up shot of my face. |

Not sure how many I have on my profile, but I am always putting regular pics up and deleting the older ones. Don't see the point in having pics up that are over 12 months old! |

If i'm worried about pics - 1 or 150 - i'll google reverse. No hits - i'll indulge in conversation but if they're unwilling to chat on the phone, cam or meet for a social - i'll jog on!
There's more than enough nice, genuine (god I hate that word! lol) people willing to interact sensibly to worry about the numpties!  |

Depends on a number of things. I have seen profiles which are picture verified but then seen an additional torso shot which clearly was not them.
If they had no veris, a short profile and unable to accommodate then I would be suspicious. If I asked for a face pic and they said they had none then it would be a no go right then and there.
I tend to trust my instincts which don't tend to let me down - but we can all get caught out.
If you have doubts then cut off contact and don't worry about it. |

"I got around 12 pics on my profile."
Ok.... so if I was angling for a meet with you and all you had seen was one close up face pic and nothing else, and when you asked me If I had any more I said nope that's all I've got, would you be wary? And pretend I was unverified too... |

I would be wary. As it says on my profile, if I have to employ the powers of Sherlock Holmes then I would not be interested. And no veris would do it too, as unfair as that may sound. |

I only have one pic. I know it puts people off me but that's ok. I swap face pics if I get on with someone and always have a social meet first. Works ok for me.
It's made me less bothered about how many pics other people have. In fact I kind of prefer it if they have less pics because then I base my perception of them on their personality rather than pics. |

I didn't have a public pic for ages, as I wanted people to make their minds up based on my personality x |

I just had a message lastnight that I just read.
Been on the site 10 hours, no pics.
Message sounds genuine. Highly possible she is waiting for pics to be approved when admin wakeup.
I've asked to see some pics, if she has none at all the message will be deleted.
Normally I'd have deleted straight out being so new and zero pics but it was a good message.
