So you agreed to meet for a date anyway right? Thus a woman does not need photos from every angle to get a guy to be interested?
Nope, your logic is flawed. Her photos had to look good enough for me to meet. And I'd never settle for just a head shot, or one shot at a strategic angle. I have no problem asking for a selfie and of course, I'll send as many as she likes. That said, the ones I judged good enough to meet from her photos, always looked even better in person. Cell phone photography sucks in general but that is the standard these days.
That said, back in the earlier days of online dating I met with many women who expressed problems getting me a decent photo. Before cell phone cams. And even a few more recently who, for whatever excuse, just couldn't come up with more photos. In EVERY case, that was a mistake. These days, there is no excuse at all for not sending photos. If there are plenty on the dating site, and they are recent, then I wouldn't ask. Otherwise, I ask.
