I have spoken to lots of people on SH chat rooms and have found myself laughing and interacting with people that make me laugh.
Only then to find they don’t have pictures or a cam, I then sometimes are put off by the fact I can’t see who I am talking to, but there are other times the person is interesting enough to hold my attention span.
I feel intrigued to know what this people looks like, so end up talking over a period of time.
Should I give up wasting time waiting to find out?
Or do you think sometimes good things come to those that wait?
Before anyone says I don’t have pictures, I do have a cam so am happy to show others who they are talking to
This is one issue which really gets my goat ( see my profile).
I like the site and have had some fun chats and very occasional meets.
The dangers as i see it is that once a pic/cam is posted on here it is available to anyone.
I can understand the curiosity issue of wanting to see who you are talking to but set against this is the fact that what is essentially a bit of fun could potentially ruin the lives of individuals and thier families.
Therefore i think that it should not be assumed that pictures are not posted for sinister may simply be ,as is my case, that individuals wish to preseve their privacy for legitimate reasons.
I think part of the problem of timewasters etc on this site is that all profiles are visible to everyone,so joe bloggs a non paying member can trawl around looking at everyone. But you would think paying members wouldn't be just playing games but as the membership is only i suspect there are many members on here who are not what they say they are and are just playing games/picture collecting its cheaper than buying a top shelf mags from the newagents

I agree kentswingers
there are so many options these days to not having anything to show before meeting, private pictures, cams in private rooms or msn.
Personally I think if they are too shy to show face on cam especially when ive got mine on then what will they be like when we do meet??
I often wonder if these people who refuse to show face before meeting actually get anywhere, are there any people reading who have nothing on their profile but get meets??
We all have our own little rules, many of them are for our own protection.The only people I have an issue with are those that argue after you have stated those rules !! wtf :shock:[/quote
I agree Flower, I have my own rules as am sure do most of us. It is natural.
I think you just have to go with your own gut instinct or your own rules when deciding if pursuing someone is a waste of time or not. Not everyone is a timewaster, but some are.
Personally I feel people should be able to see who they're talking to so if I'm in chat I have my cam on,however I don't believe I have the right to impose this on others.I met bb sight unseen she didn't/doesn't look as I expected she is however the person I expected and we've been very happy since last August.
My point I think is that I don't talk to some-ones "appearance" I talk to/with the person, sometimes it's worth taking the chance.
of course, for those whom wish to regulate who sees pictures, there is always the 'private gallery' in your profile.
you can invite whoever you wish to view... and only them, for however long you wish.
if this has already been mentioned, please excuse me... Im slow and old

hmmm... indeed.
what, and where can be seen as safe?
is it safe?
ask Dustin Hoffman

how about....
.... hosting on imageshag or somesuch...
that can be pm'd through this system, then as soon as you know that someone has viewed their mail, you can delete the original image from the host too.
a little fussy, and means having to load and delete regularly from the host...
or is that all getting a tad 'subterfuginal'?
perhaps sending some rough sketches of your countenance, simply to give an 'impression' of how you appear?
I know... arange, with the help of a trusted third-party, a blindfold introductory meet?
the thrid party can ensure you are all at the right place at the right time, and the 'introductees' don thier blindfols, are introduced, to then feel for a lvelof mutual attraction, if indeed that is the reason behind the initial need for the pic?
those who have been inroduced can then retire to safe, unseen reflection... a time to make up your minds etc etc.
though: beware replacements cock-shots using this method
