Topic: Male and Female Default Pictures | |
---|---|
To me, no picture in profile isn't a big deal. I sort of like that first because it provides for more privacy, and secondly, because I am less affected by a personal attraction in my judgment of someone's point.
It's easier to spot a fool if you haven't seen a person's face. However, I think it should be helpful if default pictures were definite male and female kind. This would save me from browsing other guys profiles. |

i find it cuts down - immeasurably - the amount of email i receive when i post a photo of the both of us as my default picture.
most of them don't bother to read the profile anyway; the photo indicates i'm part of a couple. |

And what is to stop a man from setting up a fake female profile? Or vice versa? Do you have any idea how many times a day that is done on these sites? I need recent photos and then a phone conversation at some point to make me at ease. Of course a webcam is the ideal if you are not close enough to meet for coffee. |

i agree i trust nobody until they've proven themselves to be exactly who they say they are. if they don't like that, too bad. |

If people are trying to be deceptive they will always find a way.
I tell everyone straight up, I am old, fat & ugly. |

I think what he means is like Orange Cat.
some generic picture. Reads the post and decides to look at who wrote it. Is Orange Cat male or female? |

OC is male, & he has a picture of himself on his profile.

Ultimately, we are all doomed. I am just talking small stuff. On some sites it is pretty clear, here is a default guy and here is a default girl picture. On this one, it is something weird. |
