Have you ever messaged a profile that had no avatar, no pictures public, and no pictures in the friend's gallery?
If so, what made you message?

Pure curiosity, if there is something written on the profile it may be worth a look, no photos after a few messages and alarm bells start to ring tho tbh |

I have a few times contacted people with no pictures. Sometimes it is because we have had a laugh together in chat, sometimes it is because they have a good intriguing preofile, etc |

One line or two lines with no info of what they like, dislike, or a rough idea of what they look for I wouldn't message. There has to be enough to make me think I would like to chat or meet with them, doesn't have to be war and peace but some info atleast |

"Sometimes, when I am bored, I am writing to congratulate them of achieving goal, in which they put a lot of effort. Which is not to stand out.  "
I mean I message them back, if they are writing to me from empty pictureless profile. |

Cos she winked at me first

So the wink was enough? Even without pics? How did you know you wanted to engage in conversation? |

I didn't know outright but I guess that I can be a natural risk taker and also as single guys on here rarely have contact initiated I decided to take a punt. Nothing ventured etc...
She actually turned out to be real and has since got pics and meet veris. We never ended up meeting as she could only do week days and I can only do evenings and weekends. |

With the ratio 10:1 it is obvious that men have to put a lot more effort. And it is very understandable they are trying their lack with empty female profiles, as they attract less guys. Pure statistic.
Yeah, there is no justice in the world. |

Yeah, I get all that...but I just don't see the appeal in messaging people with absolutely no pics. Although I know people do it, so I'm trying to see the various reasons...beyond the ratio imbalance on the site. |

I'm always very sceptical about profiles with no pictures. I understand some profiles not having their pictures public for privacy but none at all I won't entertain.
What I find amusing is those profiles with little information, no pictures and a status demanding face pics multiple veris a 10 inch penis and a 6 figure salary. |

Agree with the last part the ones that say no face pic no chat and don't have any pics of their own up  |

No I wouldn't bother as I'd assume they are fake or couldn't be arsed to put any effort into their profile.
I filter out no public pics & delete shadow avatar messages. |

Yes but not as a couple
When I was here as a single, I broke pretty much every rule in the book of swinging
Sometimes it back fired, sometimes it worked out better than meets where all steps for a good meet were steadfastly followed
As part of a couple, you have to think differently and adapt accordingly cos it's not just yourself you have to consider |

My profile only has 1 picture, which is about as useful as the silhouette, My profile is almost as useless as my picture,
But I still get messages, admittedly most are forum spin off but still the ocasional guy will message out of the blue, to see if I am fab straight or at least willing to meet them to find out what I am missing.
But was only tempted to meet one forumite, and she recognised me from my old couples profile.

No, never. I need photos to spark my attention, and photo-less profiles have never, in my experience, had much by way of text either. I did once take a chance on replying to someone with friends-only photos and that turned out really well, but I usually don't even bother with them. |

We wouldn't , and to be honest it doesn't take much to put a pic or two up without incriminating yourself does it ?
We figure that a profile with no pics is not likely to be looking for meets , and since that's what we are here for , we would be wasting our time . |

No ...... but I've politely replied to 1000s of messages sent from profiles which match that description...  |

Nope! I'm not too bright so I need the pretty pictures to stimulate my synapses! I don't respond to messages if there are no public pics/pics attached either! X |

If someone with no pictures but an interesting profile messaged us i would respond.
If no pics exchanged early on in char then i would end communications. Its not that we are fussy but i wouldnt eat a meal someone else had ordered for me (without telling me what it was) with a blindfold on...

Yes, but would you take the initiative to message a completely picture-less profile first? Not just responding to their message. |

Of course..tho it's different for some of us.
In my case I am not interested in pictures,as i offer anonymous sex
and realise a minority possibly don't know how to upload.
Some of my horniest meets have been with guys who have no pictures.. |

"Why not if the profile is Ok.
.
My original thought to this question was "well, ugly people deserve sex too" but I thought better of posting that idea... "
Oh no you didn't
I respond to messages that spark my interest so yes I have occasionally replied to messages from guys with no avatar or public pics, it's not unusual for them to attach a couple of pics after I respond to their initial message.
I rarely instigate messaging tho. |

If someone is local, with matching requirements, I sometimes hotlist them, then wait to see if their profile evolves enough to be interesting.
Many never bother, in which case, they get removed after a week or so.
If they can't manage more than 3 words and a silhouette, I imagine their meets would be equally dull.
Makes me wonder if some women assume they don't need to put any effort in? No pics, not much of a profile... meh - they'll still get messages, so what does it matter to them. |

Nope - something has to catch my eye, and if it's not a photo, then it has to be a captivating profile  |

No and if I receive messages from random people with no or little profile text/pictures I usually ignore or send a very short/brief reply, Even when I go in the chat rooms I have started pre blocking those type of profiles for if and when I decide to go on cam myself |

"Some people aren't exhibitionists. Is it really so difficult to understand?  "
I don't think anyone suggested that having pics on a profile makes them an exhibitionist .
The point that many are making is that they wouldn't message or engage in chat with a profile that has none .
The vast majority of those looking to meet up with others would prefer to see who they are speaking to , rather than wait until it's gone on to a level whereupon a meet is organised and there's no physical attraction . |

Our profile is very bare because we aren't meeting right now, and yes we still get messages, I'm not sure why as there's no pictures to speak of to look at and very little text that indicates that we aren't meeting |

"Some people aren't exhibitionists. Is it really so difficult to understand? "
This is something we like to do in public but back to the point!
No avatar,public pics or friends only pics always raises suspicion as to why?
I understand that some people may not want to bear all in the form of a picture but will they not do this at some point when meeting?
We stay away from these profiles and never message them as they do not seem genuine.
Just my views on the subject |

Yes, and it isn't blind date, either. So I wonder why someone would message someone with no pics to hint at what they look like.
I'm not questioning what you choose to do with your profile or why you have no public pics. I'm simply asking people who've messaged such profiles why they would. Is that really so difficult to understand? |

Anyway, thanks for all the answers. It's been interesting - especially hearing that what's written on a profile and spark interest in the absence of pics and that so many people have had success in such scenarios. I didn't expect it. Cheers! |

My comment was general and not aimed at you personally.
It gets tedious when The Forum can only see one viewpoint- their own.
If people are so stupid they can't ask for pics before arranging a meet ....... |

Right. But I don't see anyone spouting one viewpoint. There are people who will, people who have, and people who won't. I've been trying to understand better from those who will/have. I just don't see the single mindedness.
I do see you calling people (generally) "stupid", insinuating stupidity by saying "is that so difficult to understand," and saying "I find that the more pics the more one dimensional and shallow the person is."
Understanding and conversation works boths ways. |

Why would we bother making the effort to ask for pics when there are plenty of profiles showing them ? |

Nope! I never send initial messages to profiles with no public pics and I usually skip profiles that don't have avatars without ever clicking on them.
If they message us then we usually reply, evem if it's to say no thanks.

The person/people may be in a career or high profile in their community, after all this is the internet. If our governments can be hacked then with certainty our little corner of the web could be.
I respect peoples right to privacy, besides and this might make a good follow on thread. How many have met someone after seeing a picture and thought it wasn't even the same person. I find pictures very unreliable and usually insist on a social meet first |

Nope. If they can't be bothered to load any photos then we can't be bothered to read their profile.
Easy to make them anonymous and if they can't work out how to load them then I'm not sure we'd click with them if we met |

"But men DO mail profiles with no text and no photos. It's actually quite amusing seeing the 'other side'.
You people think they mailed you because they liked what they read about you??
"
Yes they do, and those men tend to be ones who treat the women on here as nothing more than a free prostitute, in my opinion. |
