Question:
What do you think of online profiles that don't give much
information? What if they have no picture?
Answer:
Thank you for writing. This is a fantastic question.
Unfortunately with online dating you can’t always judge a book
by its cover. I take it that you’ve found someone’s profile
seems interesting, but you don’t know what you should do because
you have so little information to go on.
My advice is to find out more information. It doesn’t take much
time to write someone and say that you’d like to find out more
about them. Some people have limited profiles because they are
shy and aren’t sure how to describe themselves, some people are
very private and put very little information out there on
purpose, while others may have recently registered and haven’t
had time yet to write a more complete profile. There is of
course the other side of the coin, which is that some people are
hiding something. They aren’t really who they say they are,
which is why they have so little to say about themselves.
That said, there is very little risk in writing someone a
message and asking for more information. Let them give you more
information about themselves before you give them more
information about yourself. And if they do not have a picture,
just ask for one. You deserve to be on an even playing field and
know what each other looks like. Oftentimes, the people who are
“sketchy” won’t answer your questions and if you show that you
are serious about finding out more information, rather than just
meeting up with them, they won’t want to bother with you.
Overall, I say give them a chance. I met the love of my life
online and he had no picture and a very sparse profile. He
contacted me and I just wrote him back saying, “please send me a
picture.” In addition to a picture, he sent me a very detailed
description of himself and his life. We then chatted on the
phone for over an hour and learned that he seemed to be a
wonderful person. In his case, it just turns out that he’s a
very private person and only wanted to provide his background to
select people. So, you never know until you ask…
Good luck.
Best wishes,
