Almost nobody likes photographs of themselves. We look to fat, too thin or just plan gormless.
But can you servive on this site and be camera shy?
Personally I found having pictures of my bum and chest and privates posted quite liberating. I assumed I was not that good looking but over time compliments have come my way and I do feel better about my body and myself.
Please don't all rush to my profile to look they are just a chest and bum.

Survive yes, prosper no.
In my case anyway.
I survived quite well when i was a single fem and didn`t have any pics on here until myself and BMW became a couple, and to be honest i like our couples pics, they remind me of what we were doing while taking them

when we look in a mirror we always look at our good side, , so when a picture gets taken and does not get our good side we think we look like shit but actually thats what every one else see's most of the time so my conclusion is next time you look in a picture call yourself a gorgeous bugger even if its not your so called good side!
I have survived well and have never had pictures here.
What I have found is that I only receive mail from more genuine people that have taken the time to read my profile, and not people that say your pictures are great and seems not to look any further.
If people want to see what I look like I would rather go on cam, if they want to see what my body looks like first and not my face then I know they will not be people I want to meet.
So having no photos has been a great way to sort the boys out from the men, so to speak.
i survived here as a single with no pics at all, had plenty of meets tho smile
as a cpl i still dont have any pics on my profile altho there r a few on garys but they r more of him than me anyway smile
But Minx - I always really thought you were a cat that could stand on its back legs at a point of a finger.
What a downer :shock:

sounds like you've done the same as me biggrin I look better in person than i do on camera, you don't see Apple or Sony etc promoting their products without having the best representation in their adverts, so i don't see the point of posting a picture of my stunning good looks why the Quasimodo filter always seems to be set on the camera. At least you won't have to suffer 53 pictures of my cock from every possible angle in my profile lol

Is that cos you're not an 'extras' member? lol
I think it took him that many to get the image just right but forgot to delete the rest. lol

Personally I don't ponder on profiles which dont have pics on because if I'm looking at arranging something then I want to see them. If I'm going through the ads I dont even open any without pics.
I do read profiles and if they have writen something of interest to me then I will ask to see pics.
My pet hate is when you get a wink 'would like to know more' and then you look at their profile and they have no pics and havent bothered their arse to write anything either! So who is left needing to know more???? yeah .... me!!!
Also ..... (oh I'm having a good rant here) people in the chatroom comment on my pics and when I go to look at theirs ..... you guessed it ..... none. So its ok for them to perv at me but not the other way round.
OK rant over lol
The reason most people don't like their own photos (I reckon) is 'cos they usually see ones that they're mate took while they were pissed/pulling silly faces etc.
If you're in control of the shot, or someone experienced with a camera is taking the photo then people tend to be far more pleased with the results.

Dont see where you're coming from with the pissed mates ... lots of pics on here are taken in the mirror with a phone or with webcams.
Experience with a camera doesnt matter, we take loads of pics and sometimes only get 1 or 2 that I like enough to put on here smile
Its not about being David Bailey, its about being able to put a person to the profile.

Not talking about on here - It's a general observation on why people many people hate photos of themselves.
