chphan Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Okay on POF, undisclosed body type means over weight right? Because some of these have nice faces but I see no body shots at all. I'm skinny so being with someone that's overweight won't match up. lol.
Citizen Erased Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I wouldn't assume anything. Perhaps they don't think it's important to list their type and they have a smoking hot body.
veggirl Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Yes, that is probably an accurate conclusion. (I would bet you will be more correct than incorrect just assuming they are overweight if they don't have a body shot)
spiderowl Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 OK, I read forums and see that guys make these assumptions all the time. I have a profile on a dating site. I only ever have a face shot. I don't like guys 'looking over' my body as if they are judging cattle. I have a normal body type for my age; it's slightly less slim than it was when I first started going on dating sites which is why I put normal rather than slim. I still didn't have a body pic when I was slim. Guys in real life who see me in person find me attractive and tell me so. I am not short of admirers, just ones I feel are right for me. I'm fussy, not too much about looks but definitely about personality and manners. If a guy online asks for a body pic, I tell him (politely) to stuff it. Even guys without any pics themselves ask for pics. Can you believe the hypocrisy? Probably, for some women, no body type means they don't feel they are perfect enough for most guys, I don't know, but personally I filter out guys who are obsessed with pics and body types. I find them superficial and only interested in my body not me as a person. I'm not looking for a superficial guy who lacks empathy; he's not my type. Consequently, I see absolutely no need to meet his requirements on a dating site. If you are obsessed with body types then don't contact the women with head-only pics or no body type specification. You can be pretty sure they are filtering you out, not so much the other way round.

spiderowl Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 So you are happy to date men with no photos or only blurry head shots? Yes, I'm happy to date a guy with only a head shot. Blurry, no, but a head shot yes. People rarely look exactly the same in real life anyway so it's unrealistic to expect them to. Of course it's a different matter if they are completely different but that hasn't happened much.

No sense in trying to hide what you look like, its not like hes not gonna find out eventually. You also might be wasting his time once he finds out the truth. To the OP, yes it means she is overwieght.
spiderowl Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Women get so many creeps online who are only interested in one thing that they want to filter those guys out. Refusing to show pics is a good way of filtering out those guys. It doesn't mean the women are overweight. You can believe that if you want to, but it's not true.
yongyong Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 you know you are shallow, ignorant as f-ck by American standard? Even if you guys look like a Jerry springer couple, (skinny guy & very fat chick) , what's the big deal???? it's about the personality right? Nobody will make fun of you. Actually they will think 'wow he must be very open minded person' There would be many girls with a normal body but don't worry about them. Don't ignore the fat one, talk to her..............
yongyong Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 you should find a dating site that requires passport photos. 'I put face shots only because I hate shallow guys!' 'I put pictures of myself 5 years ago because I hate shallow guys!' 'You can barely see me in the picture because I hate shallow guys!' Common sense......that's what people need these days.....

Sid6.7 Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Okay on POF, undisclosed body type means over weight right? Because some of these have nice faces but I see no body shots at all. I'm skinny so being with someone that's overweight won't match up. lol. Yep, fatty. And to someone that said, we make assumptions about head shots, yes we do. Slightly more than thin. Wtf is this politically correct drivel mean? Options should be: In shape Could be in better shape Fat And yes, I would pass immediately on any girl that provides a head shot only.

Yookie Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Women with hot bodies love to show them off . Some of us have to work hard at the gym and be diligent about eating healthy to get there lol. When I was on dating sites I made sure to post full body shots to leave zero doubt about what I look like and they were very RECENT pics. If she's got it, she will flaunt it to some extent. 1
