Two profile questions for the ladies

May 08 2013

1. When you view a mans profile and decide whether to send a message/flirt of your own or reply to one sent to you, how important is it to you that the profile has been verified? 2. Same situation as above but this time, how important is it that the guy has a public display pic? I work in a training industry and recently had the experience where someone I didn't know recognised me, so I now keep my photos private. Any time I send a message I'll always give access though. Does this hamper my chances of receiving a reply? Thanks :-)

    I never notice if someone is verified. What does that even mean. I never respond favourably to no pictures. I often assume they have something to hide or they are married. Yes you don't have to show your face but some pictures which show you or something about your personality is nice.

    Much prefer a message to come with a face shot if not your whole self, after being on here for a few months we are very wary of those hunky torso shots and people who aren't prepared to show their face. Perfectly understand that you don't want your face on your profile, after all it's only me on ours, but hubby's is in our soft gallery as well as a clearer shot of me which access gets sent as soon as we start chatting. As for being verified, after having approached a couple who are verified, it turned out was a married man trolling for photos and sexting fantasies and he was using photos of his wife! So we don't rely on verified now. An actual sentence or two about yourself and what you are looking for along with your face photo will always attract our notice more than a flirt which if your a guest we then can't take it any further or a sleazy one liner. Make yourself approachable and your much more likely to get responses.

    without a face picture I dont normally meet but I did a few times and only one guy turned out to be very hot   those without a picture are just worried I think that they will get a no, cause they are not as handsome as they would like to be   so they try to sucker people in with body shots, or good messages to lure a woman in   same with women who show only parts of their body where they look hot as can be but thats only 10 percent of their body mass as if a person will go ohhhh thats ok you only look 80kilo to me instead of 180 kilo   best to give em a shock right from the get go, when i show my private gallery it gives them the chance to say farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk what was I thinking   but if you have no intention of ever meeting anyone then put up a picture of brad pit,works a charm   tr a warts and all kinda girl

    I used to didn't care about whether a man's profile was verified or not until I had run into a demon in disguise and had to contact the Admin Team for help! Then Admin advised me to look for verified profiles in future just for safety reason, because profiles which are verified are usually the genuine ones as the profile owners bothered to make an effect to get themselves verified. However, having said that, I still connect and meet up with men whose profiles aren't verified. I just be more cautious and use my sense of determination to filter out the creepy ones lolAs for having a publicly display pic, I personally do not think it matters much as long as you have some photos in your PG to show who you are, and give the person/people you're contacting or receiving messages from access to view a clear shot of your face :-) I tend to walk away from profiles that don't have any pics (either in public or private album) at all even if the person says he can email one to my email addy. I have had too many "surprises" in the past 5 months of being here with people who don't have any pics to show, don't have time for that kind of gutless anymore lolBut everyone thinks differently, so I can only speak for myself and think that your chance of getting a reply could be 60/40 since you have pics in your PG :-)

    Thanks ladies. I was mainly curious from the fact that once hiding my profile pic into a pg, and giving access. It still lowered the response rate, purely based on where the picture was located

    I will respond to a pic less profile as long as there is pics in pg - a nice clear face pic or torso & face and not a million and one different angles of someone's cock! I don't have a pic on my profile but have a number in my pg which I will happily share when I feel Safe chatting with whomever. I'm not too sure about the verification side of things?? What does that really mean?? U have given contact details to site admin to prove you are real??? It is the Internet after all - many ways to skin a cat! Gypsy- Posted from rhpmobile

    I don't really look to see if a profile is verified or not. But no face pic, no deal.

    I'm not too sure having a face shot makes a difference? i would like to think it would! for me i would like to see who i'm chatting with, and its not even about whether or not i would find that person attractive i just think its polite. i have a face shot i would hate to think that the person that i was going to meet up with was going to be shocked or disappointed, for me its all about being comfortable and having fun, i don't think i could enjoy myself if i was living a lie! i haven't been on very long but i have never seen so many pics of six packs (not that im looking at males profile they just pop up on the side of the page) do real men look like that, could some one tell me? it seems like most guys play the numbers game they send as msg as many girls as they can and hope someone bites, is that the only way to meet people?i really enjoy the forums, i am a guest and i am trying to decide whether or not to buy membership, is it possible for a guy guest to get a msg from female?

Haha i agree with the sixpack comment! I'm fit, athletic and toned but still not rocking a sixpack like a lot of the guys seem to be!   It's probably true with the guys sending as many messages as they can. I personally hesitate to send a message to anyone who has recently joined, as they are no doubt sifting through hundreds of messages. Any message i send, i'll always try to make it personal and at least more than a few sentances. Although in saying that, if i come across a profile that i really like and i don't fit their looking for preferences, i'm liable to send a short message telling them what i liked about their profile. It can be quite disheartening with the number of ladies who don't reply at all. That is the way it is though, and i'm sure the men are just as bad at not replying to the ladies who don't take their fancy. As for paying for a membership, i highly recommend it if you want to get the most out of your rhp experience

    Verification is important... Must have face pics in PG, at least 2 are ideal... One guy on here that contacted me, was a guest, not verified & had only one pic... He was gorgeous, however how would I know if it was really him? He got very aggressive when I asked for another face shot. Had he been verified, I would have met based on the one photo...- Posted from rhpmobile

    To clarify for all those people who have contacted me to point out i actually have my profile pic as public still. That is because i set it that way around the same time as i made this post because i noticed (in my opinion) that it was affecting the responses i was getting :)

    Verification is not important to me. But I do check if they have pics in their pg's. The same with validations. A nice one can be enticing. A lot can be a turn off. I also look at the number of friends. Unless it is a forum regular. Someone with masses of friends is a turn off.

    Why do they do that? I'll pass on the mass friends thing. I like the validations but it's not a necessity. Truth to tell I went against my usual process this week and had a few meet n greets simply because the incessent chat was grating on me. The men were all lovely gentlemen and I'm sure they'll find someone more appropriate to thier liking. ~err yes I think that sounds diplomatic~ but I've just decided to stick with my gut. Guys a picture of your face in your private gallery is great, please grant access immediately, it's less fucking around for everyone!! No not my usual polite self but I'm only human. I was going to lock my account because of the disappointment and frustration BUT then, figured there's a few ladies and perps here I'd actually miss!! So OP yes a face pic is great, put it in your pg if not public and grant access if attraction exists. Verification, I'm verified sane/insane depends who you talk to. Is it important? No, just be honest and interesting. Kisses Safari (thinking about changing my profile name to Damsel in Distress or Lillium inte Spinus.....suggestions?)- Posted from rhpmobile

    The verification process just proves that the face photos on the profile belongs to the profile owner...unless he/she uses the photo of a best mate. It does not show anything about a person's personality. Nothing in life is 100%. TR, a picture of Keanu Reeves would work better. All the women I know go crazy about him, yes, even the married ones. Hmm..maybe I should change my profile pic to Keanu Reeves. I just might get more responses

    it doesn't worry me if your verified or not. A face pic in your pg is good. we don't have a public face pic but they are in our pg. however don't put a cock pic up. Id rather a torso pic top on or off doesn't matter. The main reason I will reply is ether what flirt or message you send says. Mrs B

I usually stick to "looking for new friends" and "love your profile, want to meet and see". Can't say those choices have been a hit with the ladies.

    I least mind: "If I send you a message, would you reply?" Next would be "Loved your profile, want to meet..." I like the "Just wanted to say...", but there is no good response for it. Ones like 'I've got some free time", "I'm looking for some fun" and "I'm looking for new friends" just sound to me like you're expecting me to put the effort in. No thanks. But really, all flirts suck. Pay for a membership and write a message.

    A face pic is essential in your pg but I respect that it's not your profile pic but you do need a profile pic on your page for initial first impression , just doesn't have to be your face. The biggest thing that makes me move straight on is the profiles that have those pre selected options for info about yourself.. " I am a sexual Animal and can't get enough " if you can't be bothered to write your own profile and show some personality I just keep on moving!! Xx mrs cock_sucker

    I don't care if it hasn't been verified. I'm not verified. Means nothing to me. As for the photos, I have high standards so I prefer there to be a face photo for me to see. If there's not, I ask for photos- that's if his profile intrigues me.
