[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My profile did not have a picture, but I gave a verbal description of my looks, height, weight, and said something along the lines of “will happily provide a picture if you give me a good reason why you need it”.   Had enough takers and interesting conversations followed by dates, but ended up meeting my husband through my hobby.   However, not having a picture turned out to be a good screen.  [/quote]

How many years ago was this?  I don't think this would work today.  It's kind of a ridiculous approach to online dating, IMHO.  Would you buy a piece of clothing or furniture online that had no pictures but just a description of the object?  I guess you could say that providing a picture for people to judge is inviting them to be shallow, but if a guy doesn't provide a picture, I assume he's either disfiguringly ugly, or is in a relationship/married and trying to hide his trail so his friends don't see him online dating.  For better or for worse, physical appearance is important in a relationship and not providing a picture is hamstringing your efforts from the get go.[/quote]
