Photo avatar is important for dating?

not necessarily...if sw?

I would not think that people would use this site for dating, but hey, if it works.
From my experience on dating sites, a pic is a must.

you want to see who you talking to ? or you don't care?

@xal132: Some times I did not care, especially if their profile and our chats were interesting. Eventually, you do have to meet, and it would be awkward, if their was no physical attraction. Many times on dating sites, pics were out of date.
I take pics in general with a grain og salt, even on SW.
