Why do people ask to see a pic?

So I didn't have my picture as my profile. Now I do because I'm tired of people asking to see a pic of me and quit talking to me. How RUDE! If u think I'm ugly just say so. If you want fake you are talking to the wrong person. I tell it like it is. You also see what you get. To my true friends on here this is not towards you.

I think after a certain period of time a photo is appropriate (for friendship or other.) Most friends should at least know what you look like. However, anyone asking for photos with the first or second statement is simply looking for jerk off material. My current profile pic is good enough for a visual and how it goes from there is subjective.
@ravenwind43: I am not. I am merely stating my opinion. I find it is mostly a younger crowd who demands photos. People of my age usually do not ask. I think it is because we are more polite and we are not hung up on appearances. That is all.

@PoetryNEmotion: yes you are actually and then insulted me without cause. You are being defensive and reading more into what I said based on your defensiveness. Where did I say anything about demanding photos? Stop assuming you know how I think and take responsibility for your response.That is what an "older and wiser" adult does.
@ravenwind43: Your tongue is unkind and you are bitter too. You are a fool. And I say good bye to fools. Good bye. I gave my opinion. You are not the raven nor the wind. Do not use quotations in a stupid manner.
Many people are curious and want to see what the person they engage with looks like. I have been asked for my photos so many times during my time on the internet. Very rare is the person who has it. I can think of 2 from EP. And a couple here who have access to it on another site. And it is safe with them. I want people to like me for my words, not for my lovely appearance. That is my way. No distractions.
@Iamnolongerhere: I agree with you. People want everything now and fast. They are selfish. I have had on-line friends for more than 5 years who have never asked to see my photo. And many strangers who ask for it without a thought. I always told them forget it. I take time to get to know people. If they cannot invest time, they can hit the road. I have standards. Good for you!
@PoetryNEmotion: And what if you sent them a photo and then they rejected your friendship? Is it based on your appearance? That would be stupid for them and show you their worth as a friend. I say stop asking people for photos. And don't ask for naked ones either. And if you do share naked photos with someone, make sure they will not use them later to cause you anguish and despair.

Ignore the idiots

When they ask for pics of you, that's usually a good sign that they have bad intentions or just want to know if you are good-looking or not and aren't interested in anything else.
That's why I post on the "about me" that I'm not here to exchange photos. Some people ignore that, but it's there. This is an anonymous site, there's always Facebook. I may feel comfortable enough to show friends photos eventually, but I'm not here to date anyone, so that shouldn't really matter.

@Rollercoaster97: I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that but this post is a rant about people needing to see a pic..and then you put one up..I don't really understand.
Rollercoaster9751-55, F
This way people don't have to ask. Because here I am. 馃槉

why should looks paly any part in a friendship? never could understand the shallowness.
greenmountaingal70-79, F
A lot of people who ask to see a picture are hoping it will be a nude picture.
sighmeupforthat46-50, M
it's a good start to see what the truth is.


i've asked a few times when i had a huge question in my mind... like "who is this person really?"


quite a few times i found out it was a ripped image from elsewhere.


once, it was a picture of my friends sister... i alerted them about it, they eventually took care of the matter w/the police.
Ambroseguy8051-55, M
Very well-stated!!!! Not only might you NOT be ugly, you just might be like all the rest of us who take good pics some days and not so great pics other times. Sorry you have to deal with shallow peeps. 馃槖

@Ambroseguy80: thank you 馃槉

I ignore those people. I do what I want and the people that like me will accept what I have to give. I suggest you do only what you feel comfortable doing and nothing less.
SubsumedpatM
it is mostly guys I assume, we are so visually oriented, has to do with the way our brain developed
Rollercoaster9751-55, F
@Subsumedpat: nice reply.

Mikemcneil61-69, M
You're not ugly. Thanks for sharing
Rollercoaster9751-55, F
@Mikemcneil Thanks Sweetie. But no everyone thinks that. Because I have had people stop talking to me after I send them a pic.
Mikemcneil61-69, M
It's their loss if they make value decisions based on looks. Only shallow people do that
Mordi31-35, M
Because they are looking for the goods.
SpoiledbratF
Exactly and I do not respond well to requests.
Rocky10151-55, M
Because a lot of fake people on here
Rollercoaster9751-55, F
@Rocky101 Sometime make me think there are pervs on here. Or there is peple talking to the ones they find attractive here.
angie881956-60, F

Rollercoaster9751-55, F

I wouldn't even reply to someone who asks that. They are idiots to suggest that.
Rollercoaster9751-55, F

ravenwind4351-55, F
