Ever been a woman online? Didn't think so.

As for why keep the default..meh. I'm lazy. I'm also contrarian, curious, and whimsically experimental. I'd like to see how people respond to me as a non-visualizable entity. Honestly I don't care that much about it either way. I might upload something someday.

I'm not a privacy freak, so I don't object to the idea of exposing my face, but I've had plenty of experience not liking the way people treat me based on my looks. Online I get the choice. In meatspace I either have to deal or stay indoors. So I mostly stay indoors.

I've always wanted to be invisible. This is the next best thing.

I upload something relevant, just prefer to not have my likeness all over the net. The idea of being gawked at tinder-style while strangers decide if I am bangable creeps me out, to be honest. I am seeking conversation, not sex.

Aaaannd after reading the other replies: No, I am not ugly, don't hate myself, do not think I am better than anyone. If not having my picture up causes others to pass, THAT is worth knowing up front, thank you. (;

It's best for you all if I don't. Seriously. With this face... I have to sneak up on a glass of water. I look into the mirror first thing in the morning, and my reflection runs for cover. I once walked by a dressing room mirror and looked inside, and my reflection turned to stone. I was watching Scooby Doo, and the whole cast ran away, including Velma.

I have a fail birthday cake as my visual. For those who read my profile (such as it is), see my photo.

What about those who didn't even open an account? Those are the ones I'm really annoyed with; the nerve!

lack of confidence? maybe they are famous. Can't say.

I agree and I don't know.

I’ve worked with some serious political campaigns, and found the less personal info out there about you, including photos, the safer you, and consequently your family are. Also, having worked within school districts, we were discouraged at placing ‘identifiable’ info on ourselves on social media platforms as ‘the students are expert at using such info against you.’ Here, I’m not yet convinced of the platform’s security, or ultimate political mindset of our hosts. Also, I’m not looking for love.. And, most of all, sheer laziness

I would think, married or family concerns. Either way they don't or are not ready to be seen on an agnostic dating site yet.

I don'tknow-I've always had a current (within 6 months) photo up. Maybe they are not ready?Maybe they don't trust people? Afraid to put themselves out there? Maybe we should add points for pics-in fact I think we do.

I've often thought the same thing. I guess it's one of those comming out fears going on.

I'm far less likely to reply to someone with no pic and I definitely wouldn't respond to a PM.

Because they are ugly?
