"Do people seriously expect you to post your pic in the very first message to them? This is a totally unreasonable request.
Gets right on my goat!"
Why is it? I can't reply without a photo. So it just means first message I would have to send is... do you have a photo
Then I have to refuse if they send me one and I don't like it. And they now know it was due to the photo.
It's not really a big deal to send a photo. I also insist on a phone number when I'm actually meeting outside of a club. |

Yes, yes they do - and people will do it, too.
If you don't like it, don't do it. |

I don't see why its unreasonable
Why waste your time messaging someone you don't fancy, saves time to see people straight away so you can say not my type rather than talking to then for a day or so only to then find out you don't want to meet then when they do send you a pic |

Theres plenty that will attach a pic and when theres this many single guys you have to decide how much do you want a meet. The reason we ask for a face right of the bat is simple. Mail quanity, we get around 30-40 messages a day of single guys so we dont have the time to chat to ppl that are not what we are after, hence a face pic from the get go. On the plus side it will stop you wasting your time aswell.
Just our view. |

So, you would rather send umpteen messages before sending a face pic to see if the gal found you attractive? I can just imagine your next thread.

I also get loads of messages
If I get a message from a guy and he has attached a pic that I like and I get another message from a guy with no pics im going to reply to the guy with the pic
I don't ask for pics so if men don't want to send me one that's totally upto them but they wont get a reply, which is upto me
Just as I bet the OP is more likely to mail a woman who has pics rather than one who does not, because we all like to see who we are talking to, why should he get to see the women if they cant see him? |

I totally agree to the "no pic no chat" why should I waste my time on a faceless person when there are plenty guys out there that don't mind sending their pic.. Attraction is important when your going to meet someone. So totally pointless wasting time chatting to a guy for a day or so only to find out he ain't my cup of tea...
Plus when a guy refuses to send a pic or says he hasn't uploaded one, speaks volumes. Has he something to hide? Is he who he says he is? Is it a fake profile...etc etc Think about it, makes sense when you do??? |

No its not unreasonable as totally pointless chatting to someone, arranging a meet, then sending a picture only to find they are of no interest to me, I would end up meeting someone even though I knew there was already no mutual attraction, got better things to do with my time ![](/icons/s/2/eh.gif) |

Why shouldn't we ask for a face pic? YOU'RE the one messaging us for a chat or trying to get us to meet etc.
Whenever we send a message first, we always include face pics of us BOTH if it's to a couple or just MrsD if it's to a man. If you can't be bothered to include a face pic you're not the man/couple we want to meet

Too many times we've got into conversation with people only to find several messages down the line that we don't find the person we've been chatting to our cup of tea.....we are then accused of wasting sometimes time. Can't win! |

It's quite simple why people do it, it's so that you can see straight away if you are attracted to the person. Nothing worse than exchanging a few mails and thinking this is great then getting the pic later and being disappointed as there is no physical attraction.
As others have said if it annoys you that much then don't mail people that request you to do so |

I like it when people make out it shouldn't matter if they have a pic or not. Sorry but if I can't see what you look like before hand I'll never agree to meet you, because chances are... You're f##k ugly.

YES they do,even more so when its written into there profile telling you that.
But with respect to you if you cant send one, if you dont have one!,maybe you have a special job(yes weve all heard that one to)then dont message them and then it wont 'Get on your goat' |

I can understand why people do say it, as physical attraction is important in a potential playmate.
By the same token, we hear the term 'it's not just about sex, it's about being social' lauded a hell of a lot in these forums.
So are we only 'social' with those we may wish to fuck at some point ?
If that is the case then maybe the scene (specifically in reference to the use of this site) is not as 'social' as we would perhaps like to think ?
Not a point out of spite, frustration or bitterness, but one that does make me question just how 'social' some people really are. |

I've had this moan at me, I ask to see one early on because I'm here to meet people I'm attracted to for sex, so attraction plays a big part in that. If there is no mutual attraction why waste each others time? |

We think its a little more than just "face pics"... ie.. some people have all there pics as "friends only" ..so youve got to go through all the hoo har of first contact .. what are you into ( cos hardly any fcker reads the profile).. then the .. " you sound nice.. ok ..sexy .. messed up .. or just damn freaky"... just to find out when you eventually get a face pic , they look like a bulldog licking wee wee off a thistle.... we aint no supermodels .. but we do have standards ..aint no point inviting someone into our lives if we dont like what they look like... and FYI .. its not just the face pics you wanna see ..you wanna make sure that when everyone gets nekkid theres some attraction ... otherwise .. whats the point ... AND ANYWAY ... "what ya got to hide ?" ... afraid the mrs might see them ? ![](/icons/s/razz.gif) |

question for the op, if you approach a women in bar/club to start chatting do you have a bag over your head so they cant see you?
Thats exactly why it isnt nonesense if theres no attraction its not gonna happen so it sorts it straight away. |

The whole 'decision based on a face pic' is, to my mind, so shallow.
There is no room for warmth and personality to shine through in a photograph and that, in my view, reduces swinging to something barely above having a random one night stand.

Yes but both things have to be right for us to swing. Looks and personality!
Increasingly we are getting people acting as though we should be sat here in a permanent state of sexual arousal! |

We are here to have sexual fun with people we attracted too. We arent here to make lifelong friends (if it happens thats fair enough), so sexual attraction is paramount to what we do. Though being able to stimulate the mind and eyes is the key! but without either there is no point. |

I can understand why people might not send a pic with their first message. I don't because I'm attached (let's not start a debate on whether you think that's ok or not, it's been done to death). But I make it very clear in my profile that that's the reason. I also make it clear that I'm happy to go on cam in the chatrooms and show my face before things go any further - there definitely does have to be an attraction.
There are also a LOT of blokes on here pretending to be women and I don't really fancy them getting hold of my pics. On another site I go on, a well know scam is for people from nigeria or wherever to pretend to be girls and then once they've got pics, to blackmail people so they won't put them on public websites. I also don't think it's reasonable for women to insist on pics when they haven't got one in their profile.
It's also very very easy to fake photos, not so with a webcam. And going on cam gives a much more accurate idea of what someone really looks like.
You might not agree with the reasons, but there are legitimate ones why blokes might not want to send their pic to a random stranger... |

So what I won't to know has all these answers answered your question! If you won't to enjoy this site don't be shy, personally I won't reply to people with out a photo, and I won't message someone with out a photo, what is there to be attracted to? |

What is the point in replying to someone when you have no idea what they look like? So you exchange countless messages and then it comes to the time when u feel it's ok to send a face pic and then u get a reply saying no thanks what a waste of time for everyone involved! |

"Do people seriously expect you to post your pic in the very first message to them? This is a totally unreasonable request.

Well look at it this way.. the chances are if you are going to send a message your are hoping to get a meet at some point. and not many would agree to meet without pic.. so why the hell waste peoples time messaging without a pic ?
We had freinds req yesterday said sorry only accept if we have met or plan to meet.. the reply was thanks can we meet..no pic at all on profile no information. yeah get a grip.
if you want to meet you should be prepared to send pic.. if you dont want to thats your business but dont rant about it move on to ones that are happy to chat without pic. seems like the ones you prefer are the ones that want pic.. if you like them that much send a pic.
Theres people here for everyone.. maybe you should leave the ones that dont suit alone. everyone can request or insist on whatever they want on here its their profile and their body. so dont shout about it move on to others. |

thats your opinion and fair enough, others on here ARE here for connections. Personally a great mind and sense of humour with a hint of perverse naugthyness can be just as sexually attractive as a jaw dropping figure.
Horses for courses but please don't try to define how swingers should be by personal preferences. |

i have no problem sending a face pic to any new potential people. there is an unfairness though that often you do not see a face pic of the people you are sending to, works both ways, in that i may not fancy the other person either. its the way of this and similar sites. best to accept ans get on with it. ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

This is why I insist on a pic and a social meet. I have to find someone physically and mentally attractive to want to play with them. Yeah in my vanilla life I've been with people that I wouldn't say are my type but that's because I've known them years and personality has son through. In my swinging life I have very little free time and so want to know there's at least some attraction there before I meet someone. |

Lets be honest here. People will ALWAYS go by looks first and foremost. ESPECIALLY on a sex site.
Whats the first thing people do when walking into a club/pub? Check the talent out!! And a site like this is no different, we are all on the pull on here and want to see what our prospective sex partner looks like! ![](/icons/s/eek.gif) |

Because it is not nice to get in to a chat with someone. They think they are 'in there'. Eventually show their face pic and you find you are not attracted to them - for whatever reason. Then you have to tell them.
Imagine how that feels! Not nice. Best to establish straight away whether you are attracted and likely to meet. Isn't that why we are here? Not to just chat - this is not Facebook. |

I sent an early pic as alwsys after them sending one to me.
They then wanted to see my private gallery as they said I could have uploaded any pic and sent to them. If I had uploaded a pic that wasnt me I would have sent a prettier lady than I am!
I thought it funny as with so many verfications I clearly must look like my pics or someone would have pointed it out by now. |

All very good reasons mister! . |

Everyone has choices, it's their choice to ask, and the other parties to send or not. It's also a way of checking if someone has read profile, as message will say images attached. |

Somehow, I cannnot stop myself from responding to a well written and funny message...even one without picture. Being a swinger does not give one the right or liberty to be rude to others. Politeness is so rare. |

I think similar. I'd expect pretty much everyone would want to see a picture before agreeing to meet, along with a phone call etc. But we avoid people with profiles listing out their exact requirements on the basis that it suggests they're not likely to be the most easy going of people. |

"Do people seriously expect you to post your pic in the very first message to them? This is a totally unreasonable request.
Gets right on my goat!"
Se it this way - would you honestly reply to somebody who refused to send a pic, but seemed nice - arrange to meet her and she resembles Jabba the Hutt or he resembles Bernard manning, even though they say they are 25 and 29???
Save too much timewasting and if a picture isn't present in a profile, then one in a message is a very resonable request. Unless there is something to hide????![](/icons/s/wink.gif) |

no one is holding a gun to your head.. you don't have to do it if you don't want to...
however... if you don't have a pic on your profile, then if you are the one responding then I think it is fair to give the people you are talking to a clue as to what you look like... |

"Gotta laugh when women put "no photo no reply" when they dont even have any pics in any of their galleries!!!
Whats that all about???? Lmao"
quite simply they want to see you first
if they fancy you, you may get one back
if they don't, there's not a cat in hells
and that's assuming the 'women' are actually women ![](/icons/s/wink.gif) |

Me I would talk to anyone pic or no pic because this profile is for chat, if you contact my couples profile then a pic of what you look like is the minimum we expect we do prefer to see you in the chatrooms on cam we won't meet you if you don't. We have pics it's what attracts people to our profile you will get more replies if you have pics |

I suppose there has to be a level of discretion. Some ladies don't want to advertise who they are and suffer 200 message every day, so they don't post an image. But when it comes to the other person providing one then there has to be a further level of respect otherwise it maybe just timewasting.
Most guys are on here for a quick fill (women know that as well as the men) so a face pic is kind of the obligatory way of a woman knowing you're real and not just there to try and live a fantasy or cracking one off to kill time whilst the wife is asleep or nobody is in the office. LOL! |

we all have a different outlook on life and swinging but if you are going to ask for photos should you perhaps lead by example and have some on show I mean if ppl saw yours before they may not send you any message let alone with pictures lol

so whats the difference for you between sending a pic and going on cam, if you need to be ultra discrete then u need to be wise on who u choose to message, as you have said people have fake pics, what if its reversed and you get sent fake pics and then go on cam and bam its someone u know??
someone may have fake pics which is why it is good to insist on camming with someone before you meet.. but the chances of coming across someone with fakes pics to someone u dont find attractive on first glance is so very much lower dont u think.. ?

i just looked at your profile now.. you wont be disappointed? seriously i dont think your gonna be everyones cup of tea so it just reverts back to the age old "timewaster" scenerio where you chat for a while to get the connection you speak of only to find your not attracted when you see there face.. so you have wasted time speaking..
also just cos you make a connection with someone why would that mean it would get you found out? |

Absoloutly, but surely their has to be some degree of physical attraction to be intimate?
if you chat to someone and find you really like them and they are mega nice.. but then turn out to look like the humpback of notra dam.. or was smelly and unclean.. would that not make you change your mind about meeting them?

But yes, I think I said further up that obviously you'd expect to see a photo at some point. My reply was in response to the suggestion that all that matters on here is looks, and I don't agree - I want looks and personality (and nice smells) |

Well the backgrounds in photos are often quite interesting and there's plenty more than just those things that have led to a 'no thanks'. |

If someone walked into a bar and started chatting and they were wearing a balaclava so I couldn't identify them then I'd ignore them. Same principle applies |

See for me if they sounded funny or interesting I might listen, and I doubt very much I'd ignore them. That wouldn't mean I'd shag them, but it might perk my interest. If they then turned out to be a minger then possibly we might be friends, but that's all. |

i dont think many would go on looks alone.. the general response in the forums, but it is an important factor, more than personality? so 60% looks 40% personality atleast |

hm I couldn't break it down like that because if:
- Smelly - 100% no
- Moron - 100% no
- Ugly - 100% no
But a good message would make me interested.
A nice photo would too.
I don't much care what order they come in, but I need to be happy with all of them. |

"I can understand why people do say it, as physical attraction is important in a potential playmate.
By the same token, we hear the term 'it's not just about sex, it's about being social' lauded a hell of a lot in these forums.
So are we only 'social' with those we may wish to fuck at some point ?
If that is the case then maybe the scene (specifically in reference to the use of this site) is not as 'social' as we would perhaps like to think ?
Not a point out of spite, frustration or bitterness, but one that does make me question just how 'social' some people really are."
I will readily admit that I'm not here for the social! I'm very sociable at clubs, parties and, erm, socials, but I don't exchange messages with people on here to become their friends (although I would consider my regular playmates as friends now)
For me, I don't want to waste time talking to someone I'm not attracted to and wouldn't want to end up in bed with - I have vanilla friends for that!
Hence people who don't send a face pic don't tend to get any attention from me. Call me shallow and unsociable but that's just how it is ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |
