Profile Pics...
I've noticed while "stalking" around the site the varied and sometimes non-existant profile pictures.
My questions are does a profile picture make or break that decision to make contact with a fellow user? And if there are pictures in someones profile, what makes a good/bad picture?
First blog... let see how this goes!

-I guess there are many reasons not to have a pic...I like the idea of just the shoulder...nice. I had a profile pic, but I found I received too many, 'hey you look good wanna fuck' emails from usually young keen hopefuls searching for a Ravenous Cougar. Not that I am anything special, don' blame a guy for trying...quite flattering, but uncomfortable having to reject. So I now find the anonymity quite liberating..I get to receive emails from those who get turned on from my personality in my profile...when I trust enough, I send pics. Oh and guys...yep got to agree with the other ladies..cock shots...not pretty..cocks are really hot and sexy when they are attatched to a guy whos smile melts you..when it is hard and throbbing right in front of you, for you... but strangely...pics?.......nothing....each to there own...as long as we are all having fun...

-Everyone has to have some sort of pic, when i first joined my pic was of my shoulder but it was still a pic, now i just keep my photos private and are happy to let others view them.
I dont answer any messages if they dont have a profile pic.

-A profile pic is very important to me. I will generally only view someones profile if they have a profile pic.
In my opinion, a picture of their face is probably the best way to go. But I do understand the need for privacy and I understand why a person will not put up a face-pic, hell I'm the same.
So, if you are like me and are paranoid someone from your workplace or your family is going to see your pic, I believe (again this is my opinion only) the best way to go is a pic of your GUNZ!! I mean, to me, there is nothing sexier than GUNZ!!

Ferntree Gully, VIC, AUCheers Kezza. My current profile picture is a couple of months old and I was trying to get a feel for what would be best received. I've lost the tips and grown a goatee. The subject of facial hair may be another blog. Also not putting up a cock shot now. ;D

-I fully agree with Nux on that one... If you have nothing to hide and wanna meet people why not include a picture. If you are not as confident as all people or you are married, there is nothing to stop you from putting your picture in a private album.
I am also with nux on I won't meet someone I have not seen either in a picture or on camera... You just don't know who you are meeting these days and a woman has to be so careful.
If you are going to put up a picture, I am with 6ft, make it a nice smiling pic. Not into penis shots myself and generally speaking most girls aren't guys. That is a bloke thing... we are not as interested in what your dick looks like as you are. Shock, horror but that is the truth. I would much rather see a nice head shot or a guy in jeans and a tee shirt or minus the tee shirt if you have a tasteful shot like that. We girls like to see a picture of the real you. Not some fake pose or silly shot, sorry guys if that has shattered your ideas but it is the true.
Yes.... it is far, far, far better to have a recent picture than none at all or at least in my opinion anyway!!!

Brunswick Heads, NSW, AUOh yeah, good point, i should add that i will still chat to people without a pic... for sure, but i'm not going to meet anyone i havn't seen. And its not because i'm shallow and only want to meet "the beautiful people"... no, its so i know the person i am chatting to is fair dinkum. Unfortunately some people like to lead a fantasy life online, and people get sucked in, falling for someone who isn't who they say they are.
I will always have reservations about people who don't have a photo or cam, but yeah i'll still chat to them.756 Comments - 117 Blog Posts

-I kinda wonder about those seeking "discreet" and "secret" who post a picture of them or them with a friend. How real is that likely to be given all is in the public domain and if you are attached and looking you aren't going to publish that for all (including people who know you) to stumble on are you

Brunswick Heads, NSW, AUI can't speak for everyone, but personally i won't meet anyone i haven't seen. Infact, i need to chat to people to get a feel for their personality, likes, dislikes, etc etc.... and most of the time i'd perfer to see people on cam too, nothing perverted, just a verification of who i'm chatting to.

Ferntree Gully, VIC, AUYeah I agree with that... I'd be more reserved in making first contact with a user who doesn't have a pic. And the camera would be an easier way to verify. As discussed photos can be outdated or fake.
I'm part way there. I have a profile pic... now I just need the witty and interesting personality... :D
Speaking of personality, how does that factor into those users who have Casual Fling noted in there Desired Relationship? I've been hesitant in making first contact with users because of some of the conflicting requirements and statements in their profile. Do some people want just the fling? I suppose I better take the plunge and contact some of the people in my Hot List... A topic for another blog perhaps...

We don't have public face pics as we want to be discreet (small town) but we are happy for people to see our private album. We're not interested in meeting people who can't show themselves before, it's as though they have something to hide and if the'ye supposedly going to meet anyway then what have they got to hide?
Profile pics are not everything but it helps, once you make contact with somebody then we really need to see if you are for real just as we are willing to show the same.
