irc333 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I saw this one woman online, she had a couple of headshots, rather cute face/pretty....but in her "body type" she has "prefer not to say" Is there a way I can broach the subject of, "Hey,do you have a picture of your whole body or at least a picture of your torso up, just so I can get an idea of what your body looks like?"

If they are ashamed of their body then there probably is no smooth way to do so that's not going to cause some friction. Personally, I'd just move on to someone else.
810 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 they might be conscious about they way they look. i say if they want to hide it, let them hide.
Author irc333 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Posted November 17, 2010 Figure this one out...how about a hot woman (nice bod and everything), but she puts "prefer not to say" in her body type. LOL Figure that one out...I'd probably ask her, "How come you have 'prefer not to say', you got a killer bod on ya! LOL"

LOL Figure that one out...I'd probably ask her, "How come you have 'prefer not to say', you got a killer bod on ya! LOL" how about message her: I bet you have a killer bod but prefer not to say. see if she replies. and once she does, do not ignore her ...regardless of any type of pix she sends.
theBrokenMuse Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Figure this one out...how about a hot woman (nice bod and everything), but she puts "prefer not to say" in her body type. LOL Figure that one out... Easy. It's one of two things: 1.) She doesn't like all the attention being on her body. or 2.) She suffers from a warped body-image and thinks it's ugly.

Is it just possible this young lady has no body at all? Many women learn from a young age that their goal in life should be to "get a head." It's possible this one got a little carried away.
that girl Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 why not just say, I think you are beautiful and would love to see fuller photos of you This could work. Or just ask her to meet you for coffee. She could be insecure, she could want to keep the attention of her body, she could not have any full body shots and not be interested enough to take them.
LittleTiger Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Maybe she has a fantastic body and is just sick of being approached by guys because of it. Maybe she's looking for someone who isn't quite so shallow. For your first contact I'd strongly recommend you don't mention the 'body' at all, especially if you're looking for a relationship. Tell her you think she's really cute/pretty, exchange a couple of emails and, if you're still interested, then you'll be in a position to ask for more photos without coming across like every other guy on the planet. When I did online dating I didn't have a close-up photo of my face on the site. It was a deliberate ploy to weed out certain types of men. If the first email I got from a guy was asking for a photo he got 'nexted' straight away. I wouldn't waste my time on a guy who wouldn't even chat to me until he knew what I looked like.
alexlakeman Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 The way I respond to that typically is "Do you have a full body shot? I didn't see one in your profile. I have full shots and recent.. fair is fair, right?" That puts the ball on their park.. She can either send me a pic, ignore my message, or just not communicate.. UNFORTUNATELY, I've learned over the course of the last several months that most of them do so b/c they are not the ideal body style I like, aka fat, so I've stopped asking, just don't communicate with them. I feel bad when the email the pic and then I freak out and don't communicate any more with them, lol.. Another thing I've done is , once we start talking , emailing, or texting; send her a current pic of myself and ask for the same, "Here's a pic of me a few minutes ago. Can you send me a current pic?"...
