Knighthunter862,
May I begin by complimenting you on your screen name? I have a lovely image of you riding a horse and bagging young men in chainmail . Then perhaps tying them to a spit. Mmmmm.
Moving on, I noticed this in your profile:
quote:
Many males and females come here like they come hungry to a supermarket.Well im not on any shelf of any store
If you understand that about yourself, may I suggest you apply it to all other users? Expecting people to have pictures and detailed profiles is expecting them to present themselves as a product for inspection by the masses. Just as high-end retailers don't normally advertise in your local Sunday paper, many users choose to target their "pitch" to a smaller number of people than just anyone with an internet connection.
I imagine that most users understand that having a picture will result in more views of their profile. Each individual does their own analysis of whether the benefit of more profile views is worth the costs of exposure (including, potentially, a ton of mail from unsuitable matches). I think that system is a good one. I think requiring people to post pictures and more detailed profiles only encourages the "supermarket" aspect of a site like this. And although I understand the necessity of applying sales techniques when trying to get things for myself (relationship, job, etc.), I think that fully internalizing the notion of human beings as commodities is spirit-draining to the individual and society.
Your profile expressed an interest in learning new things every day, an interest that I share. I hope that my post helps you in this.
Lastly, nice jorts.
