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????

Yes, without question, IF

She is one hell of a writer and can find something in common to converse on to lure me in ...

One or two Ladies have proved to be that good in the past ....

PS: simply saying in my experience, it CAN happen.

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.

Wow, you guys are a heck of a lot more daring than I am! Congrats that it worked out so beautifully for you both. I'd have to see what my *blind*date looks like. This also helps to gage whether the person has integrity. If he has been "marketing" himself with old pics where he still has hair, and then when you meet, half of it is gone... Let's just say I won't be paying attention to anything he has to say because his credibility factor has zeroed out at that point.
We've all had or heard ghastly stories about the dude who pretends he's several inches taller than his short self really is, or is 30-50 pounds heavier than what he claims to weigh, in flab and not in muscle mass. (Which is a really stupid move, because I probably wouldn't have minded those extra pounds; it's the deception which I can't overlook.)

I'm not so particular about scent, other than he has to smell clean. Oh, and he can't be using that nasty-smelling Axe stuff.

Many people have a sensitive olfactory sense. I was told by one man that he can smell and taste nicotine on skin and that I would have to stop smoking because he was heavy-duty into sniffing and skin-licking. ROFL. Yeah right, like that's going to happen. I'm a light smoker and I did use one of those electronic cigarettes around my mother, but nobody is going to dictate to me that I have to quit smoking for him. LOL

What another poster contended, that this Master undoubtedly wouldn't consent to meeting a prospective slave sight-unseen.

ETA: Shout out to RockaRolla, love your new pic! What a pretty smile.

Admittedly, this was a dozen years ago. Cell phones then didn't have cameras. Both of us were pretty honest about our age, weight, fitness level.

My son went through an Axe phase as a teen. That stuff is disgusting. I would open windows in winter to air his room out after he applied it. It's amazing he could ever get a date!

No picture? Perfectly fine.

"Unknown and site unseen"? Well, I think it worked for Jeffrey Dahmer.

That isn't a red flag. It is a crimson flood.

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*

Look for the man with the 2 foot codpiece.
