No profile + No Picture = No Communication

I guess he knows who you are and what you are about now, gurlfriend. I guess people don't really date anymore. They have to go online, put up pics, a resume, a blood work up, a medical history, a credit history, and must be enrolled in a gym.

I think no matter who you are and who you are going to be with--there has to be some respect. Definately, this didn't turn out so well with the said party. Men sometimes don't know how to treat women (and men). (If you are wronged--it would be nice to let the party at fault know with a private message. It actually scares potential men or women away from you when you make it public in a public forum. It makes you come across as self serving.) With the amazing technological advances with the internet, it is sad that people don't really treat each other right on it. People think that they can have everything made-to-order. Things don't work that way. Especially, with human reproduction and genetics. (Think about it. ) Who is to say that you can't find the fuck of the century and/or love of one's lifetime and not have pics online?

Of my favorite random PM's, one that say something about my screen name, or my signature quote are always good. I recently got one saying that even though I didn't have pictures in my profile, and now we know why.. he still thought I was a sexy person... now come on... I didn't even reply, there was no point.

Good try, but I only reply to: long standing members, Canadians, ladies that I've seen on here, and sometimes the idots that don't have a clue.

Bwaaaaahahahaha. Nice rant!

I am at times amazed that anyone ever "hooks up" online, considering how completely clueless most "online hookup-seekers" appear to be.

Among other reasons.

I have some mixed feelings about this post, but I will say one thing:

It's not necessarily just about pictures, at least for me. I understand that some people aren't comfortable posting photos of themselves. The problem is when there is no information at all about the person in their profile, and they either never post, or they only post in the personals or the New Members section.

You, invisibleman, are a prolific poster, and have said some very interesting things, so I kind of know you. The guys being ranted about here don't fall into that category.

The one thing that can annoy me about the absence of pics is when a guy is an unknown on this site, and is claiming to have a big cock, is using that to try to come on to me, but doesn't have any proof. It really makes me think he is a poser. If he's not using it as a come-on, though, then I'm much more likely to believe stated measurements unaccompanied by photos. It kind of all boils down to motive.

Ok, a bloke asking some questions to your post:
What about being yourself and commenting on your screen name, signiture, etc? What about being honest about your feelings to the other person?

While from the same perspective (from a bloke), njqt466, oh, how I agree with you. There are soo many fakers out there, I care to mention, I did hear it a lot, especially with one person at school.. (Hey Gareth, hows your love life going? Mine? Its dead, I'm waiting for someone to restart it though!) and its those people that upset me and make me think, "now why bother?".

Ofcourse, I am quite secretive about a lot of things, I don't wish to brag myself of show anything off, just incase I am wrong. Of course, everyone has their own definition.



I also love these people that think I am gay and that my arse is theirs... Even when they joke about it... ("Yes Andy, I know you fancy me, but I prefer Vie, except Vie has a boyfriend and I am not gay. Don't try looking for anyone, becuase its obvious I can't pull and I'd probably end up with the wrong person, like I ended up on the wrong planet!")

[quote]That would fall under #7. I have no problem with people asking questions about what's listed in my profile. If they're curious or confused, i'm happy to clarify.

FWIW, I have some very worthwhile chats with people who have neither pics nor posts. There's still the initial reaction "Oh, this should be good", but I'll still give them a chance. I don't have pics myself, doesn't make me any less real.

Sure you're going to get the "so you like big cocks" openers from some, but "how do you like the weather we're having?" doesn't translate well to the internet. I've had conversations ranging from the last World Cup to crop circles and mini-putt, sometimes leading to private emails and 5hr long conversations outside the board.

If anyone persists in the sexual innuendo, or the "what are you wearing" self stroking type questions I can tell them I'm bored and cut them off then.

I don't consider lack of pic or posts worthy of automatic disqualification.

Chrys--
I understand that some guys they come on to the women in the wrong way. Yeah, there is a perceived bravado being the internet and that people can do things normally they wouldn't necessarily do in real life. I think that the guy was wrong for coming on too strong to her. He probably didn't know any better. (Most men and women never do. If we are wronged, it is our job to let people know. How else are people going to know if you don't tell them.) She should've written him a private message to him telling him how she felt. If she felt that she wasn't being understood by the guy, she should contact a moderator and Rob via PM to document her grievance. Some people even write the "rules" down in their signatures. "Don't PM me." "No pic, no response". "I am not interested in meeting people in real life on this website."

Date-wise I don't meet people on the internet in real life. I meet people in real life around in my neighborhood. I always hate disappointing people because I am a no frills ordinary guy. I am not on LPSG to meet anybody (other than Matt Damon and Michael C. Hall ). Then again, maybe not. I hate being disappointed. Spoiling the fantasy I have set up in my mind. I guess.

I enjoy chatting and posting responses on the forums on here. Where else can you meet some very interesting characters? Where else can you feel free to talk about topics that in real life you'd probably get censored or shut down for talking about them? Nice place to see a nice penis or two. Maybe see a woman's breasts without being sued ten million.

I've shared a profile with some people here (I like to manage a single profile). Never really got a comment or response <listens for wisecracks>1.2.3<stops lisntening>

I think mine is far truer than what I've seen online here. There are obvious multiple personality disorders here online, its really inevitable, and yet I risk making a fool of my myself. I often read peoples past posts but only up to a point, then its too much. I do believe though I'm not really a member of the clique here because you guys can't quite make me out. So we'll see how long this will last.

Merry Christmas

In Response to Invisble Man: I thought about that briefly before I started the original post. I did PM him privately to let him know exactly why I was offended. I had to PM him because he was so arrogant about posting his penis size over & over w/o answering any of my questions. He apparently became annoyed with my questions and told me to, "wait, I have to go walk my dog."

It was at that point that anger overcame fear and my rant began.

I have accepted PM's and chats from people with no profile & no pic in the past because they were nice, complimentary, or just bored and wanted to chat. I will continue to do so, but this guy SCARED me. He was aggressive, arrogant, and predatory.



RE: Who is to say that you can't find the fuck of the century and/or love of one's lifetime and not have pics online?

True, my current fuck buddy found me on AOL (of all places?!) eight months ago. He had one pic posted which had been taken in college when he was much heavier and had a full beard. He is now physically fit, 40, and sports a moustache and goatee. He also embellished his height by 2 inches

I have told my girlfriends that although he is attractive, if I had seen him at a bar, party, or work related function he would not have even been a blip on my radar.

At risk of sounding like some new age oddball, I got a really good vibe from him. He is a genuinely kind and decent man with a little baggage, but so what. I have baggage too. Besides he makes me cum buckets, introduced me to analgasms, and never fails to make me feel pretty. If he hadn't had a vasectomy I would probably want to marry him.

I didn't sign up for LPSG because I am a Size Queen.
I signed up because I like to look at nude men and the forums are interesting. Okay. . . I admit it, I get a little thrill from posting my nude pics and receiving such complimentary feedback; but who doesn't? Besides it's cheaper than therapy!

For the record, although I was reared in a conservative Methodist home with old fashioned morals and values I am often vain, shallow, and sometimes even materialistic. I used to consider these faults. Now they are just parts of who I am, and who I am is a a spunky, audacious, and sometimes sassy Jersey Girl.

I guess he knows who you are and what you are about now, gurlfriend. I guess people don't really date anymore. They have to go online, put up pics, a resume, a blood work up, a medical history, a credit history, and must be enrolled in a gym.

I think no matter who you are and who you are going to be with--there has to be some respect. Definately, this didn't turn out so well with the said party. Men sometimes don't know how to treat women (and men). (If you are wronged--it would be nice to let the party at fault know with a private message. It actually scares potential men or women away from you when you make it public in a public forum. It makes you come across as self serving.) With the amazing technological advances with the internet, it is sad that people don't really treat each other right on it. People think that they can have everything made-to-order. Things don't work that way. Especially, with human reproduction and genetics. (Think about it. ) I guess he knows who you are and what you are about now, gurlfriend.

Oh come now, I fit two of those catergories and I have had no response.

To be honest, I will respond to anyone at least once. I don't have the heart to tell them to piss off if they are weird.

Agreed! The best thing you can do with messages, is go in with an open mind. Yes, I am happy to talk to anyone about my body and self worth, yes, I will give people my damm honest opinion (unless I care about them too much and worried abotu sending them into tears!), but there are some things I just won't talk about. I've had many interesting PMs with people, I'd happy have many interesting PMs as long as I live.

I just hate close minded people. I had one at Havant Rly Stn recently. "What would you do with the system?"
"I tell you what I woul do, I'd tarmac the whole lot"
"err, yeah and send everyone by car (as I automatically assumed"
"I didn't mention 'car'"
"how would you do it then?"
"the same way, on tyres"
"thats not possible, there is a limit"
"Well, they've done it in other countries"
"Yes, but with limited ammount of sections."

I would of told him that he would need other factors to consider for his idea, like friction, accidents (more frequent), selfishness by drivers, saftey, etc, but he terminated the conversation soon after that.

All right, I'll bite. What is a mini-put?

If it involves a 5-hour conversation ... cancel that.

That's a lot of effort wasted on someone you don't want to talk to. If you put him on "Ignore" that should cut off PMs from him. Let the board software do the work for you.

A mini-put is a typo.

Mini-putt AKA miniature golf.
