If I send a protective message I attach a face picture, I'm old enough to know no one is for everyone.

I'm pretty clear in my profile if you contact me first I even say please attach a face picture. Yet I'm contacted first and asked have I a face picture.

Question to the Ladies who don't or refuse to send first.. Why not? is it a fear of rejection you don't attach face pictures and prefer to be the rejector than the potential rejectee ?

I have never ever encounter a lady who refused to send me her face pics yet. Mind you I only contact them through the famous FPF thread though

It's not a mind game for me.

It's identifying and is a step towards making me vulnerable. I want to chat a bit first before I swap pictures.

I don't ask for a face picture until I'm comfortable sharing myself, though.

It's not a power thing but a numbers thing. So many men are happy to send them in the first message that I can choose from those, rather than sending them out to people I may have no attraction to.

People from my work are on here. So I never send first for that reason.

I've been approached by a couple there and a guy I know is married but has single male profile. It would be awkward.

I quite agree, if I ask for a picture it's just to give me a general impression of you, not necessarily your face. I don't keep face pics on fab but will always send one somehow before I expect anyone to meet me.

I probably wouldn't contact someone who insisted on a face pic with the first message. It's not something I ask for myself.

I don't. It doesn't matter though, enough people that I am attracted to send me face pics unprompted anyway, so I don't need to take that risk.

You can always take responsibility for your own inbox and block ladies and then they won’t send you any messages. Filters are there to be used. Or so I’m constantly being told on here

If you find yourself really attracted to someone's personality and online banter - but when they finally send you a face pic they look like the elephant man fell in a blender........there's always the option to pop a bag on their head during a meet.

Yes, I agree. But I think what she means is when someone, unprompted, sends a face pic with a message like "send a face pic back". As though I'm obliged to do so, even though it wasn't asked for and I've no desire to continue the conversation.

No you fool, you see you are just one man of many. Your opinion is worthless and thougt process clearly incoherent.

Women are doing you a favour by even acknowledging your existent. Why should they send you a face picture even though you sent them one. Why should they take the risk you already took, what a farcical suggestion...

And if you disagree, well hard cheese because they can just find another guy who will play by the rules.

Yes, it is a 'power thing' but more of an egotistic lack of consideration and social awareness when someone sends the first message and asks for a face photo without sending theirs first or offering.

That said, most ladies here who have initiated contact do send theirs first or offer, and the ones who don't usually don't ask for one from me first.

I have received a number of face and cock pic requests from the younger age bracket 18-27ish (to risk sounding ageist) and yes it always does feel like they have an inflated ego and sense of entitlement and assume that you don't value yourself or your privacy over a chance to be blessed with an opportunity to be in their omnipotent royal presence since they have soo much experience to offer

It's the reason I don't waste my time with most under 25. They're too busy navel gazing and experimenting with their newly discovered sexual abilities and just not mature enough to genuinely connect with you. I'll pass, thanks. Some of then are men pretending to be women anyway. Weird place.

"It's not a mind game for me.

It's identifying and is a step towards making me vulnerable. I want to chat a bit first before I swap pictures.

I don't ask for a face picture until I'm comfortable sharing myself, though.

That's exactly how I feel, and I don't expect face pics in the first couple of messages.

I'm also not a fan of being sent unsolicited face pics when the sender them demands them in return. "

No, and I will refuse.

Exactly. Timewasters

Nope, just pragmatic.

"If I send a protective message I attach a face picture, I'm old enough to know no one is for everyone.

I'm pretty clear in my profile if you contact me first I even say please attach a face picture. Yet I'm contacted first and asked have I a face picture.

Question to the Ladies who don't or refuse to send first.. Why not? is it a fear of rejection you don't attach face pictures and prefer to be the rejector than the potential rejectee ?"

Nothing to do with rejection, it's about discretion, if we send a face pic you have an identifiable pic with the fabswingers logo, that isn't happening given my job.

Don't assume people's boundaries are about you, or that what you are ok with others will be

yes I agree if they contact you first then they should send a face pic but only if it's contact with regard to meeting and the same applies if the guy sends an introductory message with a view to meeting, I never send introductory messages so I never expect a pic

Ah, the ‘demanding something in your profile’ quote.

I don’t think you can demand anyone to do anything. Weather sending a face pic or not.

Maybe it is fear of rejection, maybe just trying to see if they might know you first. I dunno why but I’m certain that type of thing won’t stop.

A woman sent me a face photo with her first message the other day, with her face covered in spunk. Which was nice.

This is it for me. Also totally fine if people refuse. I'm not entitled but won't comply with their requests for me sending first either. We just won't speak and that's fine surely??

No demands , I ask if folk contact me to attach, if folk don't wish to send that's fine they can choose to not contact me or they can contact and I'll be happy to chat with a faceless profile, it's just very unlikely we will be meeting.
