the only reason they didn't put up pictures because they were kinda " public figures" and didn't want other people to see they are doing online dating.
Never date a married politician.

You mean you don't have the life skills to make anything of your life.

Even if they're required to post a photo how would anyone know that the pic was really of that person.

A Dating profile without a picture is a Resume without a Name and Address. Why be on the site if people can't see who you are?

Pictures are so wooden and scary looking. I like taking pictures of things and places to remind me of things. I like taking pictures of people in a setting where I can remember them.
Several sites have the video option.

I like it. It's direct, honest, and straight to the point. It's also in line with a type of advertising/price negotiation which the name of escapes me at the moment. Basically you set the bar high, stick to it, and eventually people will rise to meet it if you give off the impression you're worth it, which setting the bar so high reinforces.
Funny but that does seem to work.
I put something like that up more to the tune that I was looking to move in with a woman and do the domestic stuff if she took care of me and gave an allowance.

I got quite a few serious emails from nice looking older women.

Wish I would have saved them but that was like in 08.

Oh, I don't think so. I think you have fetish WANTS - but it takes little skill to lie there on the floor while someone walks on you.

It takes little skill to scream and holler after you've had your "family jewels" (in your case "family stones") trampled or kicked.

Another worthy read on the subject. It echos some of the sentiment of the OKCupid article I posted the other day:

Online Dating is Futile « Citizen Renegade

Personally I think they should limit how many people you can contact per week or month. That alone would greatly reduce the spamming and mitigate some of the points discussed in the articles.
