Privacy or etiquette

May 07 2010

The Mrs & I have been discussing (at times passionately) If every profile should be made to have a picture attached to it... Any picture doesn’t need to be a face pic but something, anything that slightly resembles your profile. I think it is etiquette the Mrs thinks its possibly forcing people into something they’re not comfortable in doing even intruding on their privacy.... I think people should make an effort and how can you expect pics from others when you don’t even have courtesy of putting one up yourself! I’m not being righteous or anything and yes there has been an occasion or two when akinkytwo4fun could have done a bit better with our own etiquette levels... But we like to think we make an effort What’s everybody else’s take on this? Is it intruding to ask for one pic? D & R xx

    The profiles that show NO pic get zero attention so their loss. In saying that I agree with you though "Mr' in as much as its better to have a picture of something then nothing. Better still if thought has gone into the picture to show the kind of couple you may be or what you are into. I mean a black and white picture of two legs entwined isnt going to have me thinking "Isn't that Bob and Jan from down the road?" Its what you want and how much you expect to get out of ths site that can determine your reasons too. If you are not a paid up member you lose nothing except for precious minutes out of your life looking up your guest profile that has had no views due to no pics. If you are a paid up member you may be wasting dollars as well! Go ahead peoples and take a pic! Mrs Sat..on Team - Pics!

    We don't bother looking at profiles without a profile picture. We only have the one but many in our PG for those who we want to see us. It does not take much effort to upload and in saying that to also verify!!!

    That is such a crap excuse. There is no reason not to have pictures in your PG's to share with who ever you choose and for as long as you choose. I get sick of people wanting to see my pics and then making excuses about how they can only send theirs by email or on msn. If you can email it or have it on msn you can have it in your PG. And yep.....profile with no pics make me suspicious. We all value our Privacy but you have to take a bit of a chance dont you. If your not game to do that why bother being here....... x

    Quoting 'geturroxyoff' i dont think pics matter...iv had mine up now for about a month and a half and i have no extra flirts or mail just a lot more people check me out....which plain and simply makes me paraniod roxxy xxx I have a theory about this very subject. Some RHP blokes have grown so accustomed to overtly sexualized body shots, profile pics which in some part indentifies the woman as a human being means they are unable to objectify the woman as something to be played with only therefore they avoid responding. Roxxy, I happen to have a few male RHP mates who find your pics utterly sensational (as I do too) I believe it comes down to either the above scenario or they lack the confidence to express their feelings directly to you. I hope the emails you receive are quality as opposed to the standard 'quantity' junk mail 'wardrobe' malfunction pics attract. To the author/s of the post: I totally agree, profile pics of some sort should be the norm.

    Wonder how RHP would work if noone put a pic in their profile...? I wouldnt want to join in a site in the hopes of meeting a totally faceless god knows who . It would defeat the reason "we" are on here.In a swingers scenario it can be a lot about physical attraction. Maybe not for others though.Again I think its a bit rich to have the rights to view others pics and not put up any of your own.

    I think that "making" people put a pic on their profile will lead to many fake pics that are of models bodies and uploaded from a Google search! Not that there aren't any at the moment!! I agree though and would go one step further...no pic...no verification (as it costs nothing)....then no profile allowed!! xFunlovingx

    I was wondering... Since I have changed my status to attached..I have been getting not very nice messages...Now when I was single majority of messages where polite..... Why is this? Do other couples get dumbarse messages from single guys? My profile says we are not looking. confuzzeled.. sweetpetite41xxxxxxxxxxx PS...YES....Some kinda pic should up...And face pics in private gallery..

    It is an interesting and almost paradoxical topic as I think of two things very distnctly different in reading through the posts thus far and perhaps will reconsider for myslef how to continue here and on other online sites.... | The first is that, most likely due large and part to the substantail overweighting of men to women, perhaps the first thing guys here is "I want (substitute demand if you like?) a face pic" ...which I of course have in a private gallery but may remove once you read further. I have noted in my own profile that a shot of a part of the female anatomy is nice to look at but similarly does not necessarily over stimulate me nor provide any other insight into the person. I may move further toward relying on my own instincts and continue to offer these more discreetly via email once I have some confidence in the person. My problem? Not an ego issue at all...but rather that I am frequently in the public light via professional and recreational speaking venues that place me widely all through Australia and I may not necessarily want any and/or every body or a a part there of the perchance opportunity of recognition outside of scope. If that means I meet a few less of you gorgeous woman..so be it. I do not see an issue in virtually anonymous email correspondence once I am comfortable with that particular person. | The other issue that you may wish to consider is your own ulitmate privacy and who actually may have your more personal and/or revealing photos? Yes, this site and many others do as much as they can to ensure the security of these, such as using .aspx codes and server side scripts, thus disabling the very simple "right click save as" protocol...but many of the new browsers make full or targeted screen capture ridiculously easy. And even prior to that, simply tapping your Control /Print Screen functions on your keyboard would put the enitire screen shot up on your clipboard as a .bmp image...and for those even vaguely familiar with Photoshop or some of the lesser photo tools available to work with images, you can save them. | I hope this post does not suffer the fates of the forum gods and disappear nor at the fear of my own life being in jeopardy cause anyone (particularly you gorgeous ladies that often grace a few of the chosen with your more intimate photos!) to panic. It is just a simple fact of life. | I would suggest nothing on the internet is 100% secure nor private...and certainly make that an option. | And for the record...no, I would not be so intrusive as to have my own personal galleries saved...my mind is perhaps the best tool at my disposal for keeping what I see as beauty and letting the rest stay where it is.

    Sure I think it makes the site more interesting if people put a little glimpse of them on their profile. Now can we all read Midnight's response and understand it? Linking your face to this or any similar site is ultimately traceable and if you want to keep this side of your life a little discrete and separate from the rest then be careful. We're so sick of the attitude of some that they don't care if they are seen so everyone else shouldn't either. We actually value the lives we have built and this naughty side is just a small part of it. We are oh so happy to receive a blunt message demanding face pics on here only or no further contact to which we don't go further. We think anyone who is so unadaptive to others concerns would be pretty plain and selfish in bed.We've sent pics over msn too but those who usually ask for them then ask for more and more, what more are they after? We've found a way that works for us so we'll stick to it.

    Its not about a face pic and maybe i haven't written our comment well enough! Its about presenting who you are in your profile and making the effort... A photo is better than no photo... it could be of your arse or your chest or anything but al least it still represents you. Its show some of your character When i see a blank and it reads NO PHOTO with a shadow... its just looks empty & shallow... The more effort you put in the more you get out.

    Well we took our photos off public display 6 mths ago when it was obvious we could not play for a while due to medical reasons. We did want to waste anyones time but wanted to stay in touch with genuine swingers. The immediate responce on this forum was as soon as you mention health its a "STD" Thats not the case We have recieved the odd message and when we explained due to health reasons we cannot play for a little while, we get the responce back....let us know when u are able. (obviously we are not going into details here) But these same contacts say "lets get to know each other 1st" So its a tangled web ....lets get to know each 1st.....but be ready to play when we say. We have made up our mind with those type .....and whats wrong with no public display but all is revealed in the private gallery including faces so we CAN reconise you when we meet? (We expect within a couple weeks to have our public gallery full but under a different username) Cheers

    A pic showing the character of the profilee is a great idea, and Chiky has certainly achieved that. And what a VERY sexy character... But those who fail to put up a picture are also helping us, aren't they? For example, many women on here receive lots of messages from men, many of whom presumably have no picture of any kind on their profiles. I would expect that the absence of a pic would be a mark against them - and maybe that's not a bad thing. If a guy doesn't have the sense to increase his chances of communicating and meeting with someone, why shouldn't he be discriminated against? Its almost evolutionary. In fact I think it is. If you don't have the brains to put up a pic, you don't get to copulate. Yep, that's pure Darwinian theory. Let em weed themselves out, I say!

    Good to hear from you again and a great post as always. Very very true Even if there is no public pics I always look to see if they have uploaded to their private gallery. It tells a lot about the person....well to me anyway. xx

    It's a part of what makes profiles different...Had our best encounter with someone we had never seen before we met them... mmm.Some of our fav RHPers had/have no pic on their profile... We've heard it from friends and seen it explained in the forums, that some have no pics to avoid too much attention... it works for us when we take our pic down now n then.Definitely object to the idea of having no choice for any reason.
