		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-19414&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Mathew&lt;/a&gt;, Yes, the no profile pic thing is very common. You&#039;re right. Very frustrating.</description>

		<description>Brilliant rant Karl. I fully agree with all of it. Only you missed out a classic....

&quot;NO PROFILE PIC&quot;

I&#039;m on Match and I would say that 50% of the girls that contact me have NO PROFILE PIC, but fill out their profile under the lame premise that the photo is just one of the options, and dare me to say otherwise!

I just received one, literally a few minutes ago, that says, &quot;I don&#039;t have a pic, but I think that we coincide on most things.&quot;

Like what? Blindness? Absolute visual indifference?

Like I should drop everything for a girl who probably looks like a hippo, because we both ticked the &quot;likes to watch movies&quot; box.

But there are worse ofenders:

1)Those who say contact me by phone or by mail and then I &#039;ll send you my pic, clearly don&#039;t get what dating websites are all about.  I don&#039;t want to contact someone, to later have to personally let them down!
  
2)Those who claim not to have photos of themselves! Like photos are something only a privileged few of us have access to! What else do they not have, a name? Feet? Clothes? 

3) Those who attack you for asking for a profile pic, instead of simply appreciating &quot;inner beauty&quot;. For all dating newbies, this happens an awful lot!

Look for all I know, you are as ugly on the inside as I imagine you are on the outside!

Why do so many &#039;daters&#039; who do not post pictures assume implicit &#039;inner beauty.&#039; and try to take some kind of moral high ground against us shallow folk, that actually would like to see what our dates might look like!

Also, guaranteed that all these &#039;inner beauties&#039; search  for profiles based on photographs just like the rest of us!!!</description>

		<description>You mean, when I&#039;m back on the dating scene, this is what I have to look forward to??? And I realized after I posted this and edited it, the irony, but this profile pic wouldn&#039;t be one I posted on a dating site. LOL</description>
