Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeowt?!

Simon? Oh. Well, exactly. Part of my point.

You are 6'8".

Exactly! That's all I was saying. It only makes sense to have a picture--if you are here for dating (unless that leads to being constantly stalked and/or harassed, obviously).

Jealous? Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeowww. ^.^

What does that have to do with me?

Not really. That's interesting. I'm sorry things didn't work out with you and her.

I *guess* I can understand not having a picture for that reason--due to being stalked.

Meh.

Yeet! YEET! *Scratches deep indents into your garage door, then piddles on your porch*

From a position of pure superiority, the only way for me to talk is down. So sorry.

Do you all find me beautiful yet?

Oops, one more thing:

About the whole "visual/shallow" tangent. Whether or not you find someone outwardly attractive is quite irrelevant. Having a picture here is not about flaunting looks, but about honesty. Withholding a picture and sneaking around in obscurity *with the pretense of searching for love (or whatever)* is where the problem lies (quite literally, lies).

A guy was once attracted to me, for instance, primarily because of my intelligence. And who could blame him, right? I mean, look at what I write even on this tawdry dating site; I am a genius.

*Walks away haughtily*

Hmmm, fascinating how many times I have to explain one, simple thing. But I will condescend:

The same reason why a teacher is concerned about the well-being of his or her students: The teacher is not experiencing the same plight (having to achieve certain grades, not having a choice whether to be in class or not, etc.), but--for good teachers--the sympathetic interest is there to help the students, nonetheless.

More to the point, I do not have to justify myself or my whimsical actions to you or anyone. In fact, I do not need to have a reason for anything I do; because I am capricious and eccentric and otherwise not at all bound by others' expectations.

The only people whose actions require justification, from my standpoint, are those who (inadvertently) claim a certain goal "here for dating (or whatever)" yet lurk around sporting some sort passive spectatorism.

Well, gee wiz, what difference does having a picture make even in that case? If a married person is so concerned that simply having a picture will draw the wrong kind of attention, maybe he or she should not be on a DATING--A DATING--site to begin with.

Such contradictory abstinence and secrecy, in lieu of what should be ambition and confidence in the "quest" for a relationship, is odd and inexplicable in any case you can draw from your peculiar little hats.

*Sigh*

Now, I am done.

*Removes mask of narcissism and goes to bed*

What can I say? I'm a philanthropist.

If anyone here is genuinely interested in initiating an actual relationship, then it seems right to question those who go about accomplishing that task in a somewhat slipshod manner. Right? It only seems fair to help.

From the people who traverse this site? Yes.

Many, MANY a creeper have I encountered here and I refuse to let any of them "up in my bidness" even in a vicarious sense, but, in all probability, in (attempts at) a direct sense after they fall madly in love with me for superficial reasons (I am adorable, you see).

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...!

*Leans over earthen pool to gaze at own reflection*

Yeeeeeeah. Brilliant logic, there, scout, except I'm not interested in DATING; nor will I ever be in this specific context. Yes, that might be the main flaw in your little "quip." Thanks for the thought, though, champion!

I'll read what everyone else had to say later. Thanks for your comments.

I do not accept this phenomenon.

If you go onto a dating site with the intention of actually *finding* a date, why on earth wouldn't you put a picture of yourself in your profile? If you do not have that ability--for some inexplicable reason--that almost makes it understandable. Otherwise, this retention strikes me as purely irrational.

Why this is a problem: If you do not have a picture and, as one would expect, begin looking at others' profiles, what will those people automatically assume when they see said viewer (let's call him "Simon") picture-less?

One (or all) of three possibilities:
1, Simon is ashamed of his appearance.
2, Simon lacks the mental capacity to take and upload a picture of himself successfully.
and/or 3, Simon is a creeper (perhaps a voyeurist or, even worse, a predator) wandering the internets to get his jollies (vicariously) from random people.

Shyness is not an accuse. I would like an explanation, particularly from those guilty of this faux pas.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeowt! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeowt!

Golleh!

HEY!!!

Oh, golleh! I'm 'n big troublah nah! HELP MEH! HELP MEH PLES NAH!

Ha! I was posting as you were posting, poor boy.

Anyway.

So, you're, like, what? Completely in love with me, at this point? Or is it Prufrock syndrome, feeling too inadequate to speak your true feelings--to "disturb the universe"?! TELL ME!!

Golly, you must love me!

WHAT?!?!

Ehe, yowt. >_>

Humans swim, yet some of them still drown--so, blah to that, son!

Also, it's "you're."

I'm pretty hot, aren't I? Huh?

Yeet! YEET YOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...t?!

*Flailin'!*
