Ok....I admit that for the sake of privacy I do not have a picture of myself on my profile, and because of that, I don't care if anyone else has a pic on their profile either. But I'll even take it a step further and say that I don't put a lot of importance on someone's looks. I've loved and had wonderful relationships with tall guys, short guys, fat guys, skinny guy, hairy guys, bald guys.....it really doesn't matter to me.

So this means that when I start to talk to someone, I am very rarely the first one to suggest that we exchange pictures.

With that being said....I just read the following in a Dominant's journal:

"I am actually surprise by the comments about my failure to post a picture and the expectation that I should; perhaps, I am simply wrong. The truth is that slaves should be ready to accept ownership from an unknown and unseen owner which is why I failed to post a picture. In other words, this amounts to a preliminary test. I am sorry if this offend, but is is reality!"

Now seriously.....even if you don't give a rat's ass about someone's appearance....would you become someone's slave sight unseen????

With that said, we didn't exchange pictures. I told him I'd be wearing a red short sleeved shirt and he told me he'd be in a blue one. We met for coffee. But photos can't tell you if there's chemistry. And to me, that's important. I know some people who judge by whether the other person smells right. That's something that isn't going to be conveyed through a photo.

Something else, two people could have a really good connection online, but once it goes offline, it could be a 180.. Plus, how are you supposed to know who you're meeting if you don't exchange pictures beforehand? Well unless you plan on meeting where no one else will be *shrug*
