Beats me.

This query is brought up often. Some people have very legitimate reasons for not posting a photo, besides possibly keeping their presence secret.

Best not to make assumptions. Perhaps even ask them !

<<<< This is Me.

I am married and I don't hide the fact.

I'm not here for dating and I don't do selfies.

I'm here because I quite enjoy the discussion and I prefer to be judged on my words and actions and not my looks.

Actually, paragraph 3 is a lie. I don't post a picture because I am so devilishly handsome that I would be inundated with ladies (and men) vying for my attention.

Their choice is valid (male or female) whatever it is. If it concerns you I would just look at the ones with pics. This is not just a dating site and many of us are so far flung we may never meet

y'all don't like the pic of me and the missus?
I never post pictures of me for so many reasons,
people too keen to judge by appearances, I do not like pictures of me,
I don't want to blow my alias. So many reasons.
Also, I have realised that I am not here for dating any more,
that is the reason I joined the site,
but no longer.

If I understood correctly, the expressed purpose of the site is to spread awareness of and provide community for people who are happy to live without gods. I came here for conversation. I don't care if people post pictures or not, other than it is nice to see who you're talking with, but not at all necessary.

Wouldn't make any difference,

Is it because they are not here for dating? Or want you to be surprised?

and women too.

I hadn't noticed until you said something, but you are right, many don't. Some women too, to be fair.

I’ve got some pics but currently on profile is an old mri. I am not married, however, I’m not here to meet for copulation, either.

Not everyone on this site is here for dating purposes. Some people are uncomfortable with revealing their appearance anywhere on the internet. Some people aren't thrilled with their own appearance (and might have experience with being trolled about their appearance). And yeah, some people might by married and don't want to be caught.

I should note that some women who are open to dating don't have a pic.

Some women don't either. If they are here for community only, l understand. If they are here to meet someone and don't post a photo, l don't understand. Maybe some people don't want to be outed. Some might be married. Some women on this site say they have run into that problem on other dating sites.
