I understand that there are many reasons why someone would choose not to show their picture on sites like this. A desire for privacy is perfectly valid. That said, I personally don't want to get involved with someone who has such a strong desire for privacy, for reasons that are my own and will get into shortly. I respect one's decision, but I acknowledge that it isn't for me. Looks also aren't a big factor for me, especially when I get involved with men. I've been with all types. I do have a favorite physical "type" when it comes to my partners, but for the most part the winning factors are how much chemistry we have and certain personality traits. It would not bother me if a potential didn't look like an underwear model. My reasons for refusing anyone without face pictures is 1.) I've encountered too many guys who used the standard "hiding from my boss" reason as a cover for "hiding from my wife," and I'm cautious by nature. 2.) I tend to go for people who are transparent with their needs/interests, have no "filter," and honest without apology. This is a "need" for me. I find that this type of personality and a willingness to show face pictures go hand in hand. Consider it my own "preliminary test," except it's more for compatibility than how obedient one is. Like littleladybug, I wouldn't consider getting involved with someone who not only refuses to show their face from the start, but continues to refuse ever after and expects that to be just fine. It goes double in a M/s relationship where the s is expected complete obedience while the M is an unknown. I can't function in a relationship with that much lack of trust. No doubt that one had something to hide.
