I've tried setting up many of my guy friends and believe me when i say I get very frustrated when they turn the suggestion down because she isn't their look. I just wish sometimes they'd get past it and meet these wonderful girls (whom btw, are generally pretty just not in their sense)<br />On the other hand, I hear a lot from them about how fed up they are of going out with girls they arent the least bit attracted too and therefore, the next time they are being set up, they will request a picture.<br />What a shame, so much gets lost in a photograph.

If a guy wants ...Lawschool, Lawschool, Lawschool. <br /><br />If a guy wants to look at a girl before he goes out with her, then pick out one you like the look of at a wedding and start chatting with her. But photos have no place in the world of "blind dates." They're called blind for a reason. <br /><br />The discussion here was about photos, not other details shared before a date. I am well aware that men likee the looks, but wouldn't you rather find out what a gal looks like from ALL angles, rather than a potentially biased photo? <br /><br />The fact is, if there are enough girls getting hurt by such requests, the pig can't be kashered. For the sake of sparing a date's feelings I have done A LOT. If someone is hurt, no way can you make it right.PLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350667776363447301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-52097820339955287822011-07-08T15:08:58.609-04:002011-07-08T15:08:58.609-04:00For the sake of being the devil's advocate:

Males and females are attracted to different criteria. "If I don't need your photo, you don't need mine. Got it?" No, I don't get it. Sure you're entitled to your opinion, but it sure can be a faulty one.

It's MY dignity that's being violated; and anyone who asks for a photo . . . it shows he's really not proper. <br /><br />If a shadchan asks for a photo, that is one thing. But if a guy does? How can someone call himself religious and say that he won't go out with a girl unless her looks are worth his time? <br /><br />Veeeeery spiritual of him. <br /><br />He's gotta do what I gotta do. Plaster a fake smile on the face, and do what you gotta do, not what you want to do.PLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350667776363447301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-61632533604262281052011-07-07T12:43:08.922-04:002011-07-07T12:43:08.922-04:00Hey girls - I think you should all read mmmmchocol...Hey girls - I think you should all read mmmmchocolate :-)'s post very carefully. Your goal (and guys as well) should be to have as wide as a pool as possible (certainly as you get older). Being stubborn just shrinks the pool and very often, the guy or his mother has no idea that it is even being asked for - that is the shadchan's doing. Your refusal to give a picture, particularly when the request is becoming the norm will lead people to believe 1) you are ugly; and 2) you are stubborn. <br /><br />You may get married w/o giving the pic and win. But many of you will eventually give in to the sea of change, so why fight it?<br /><br />BTW - my opinion is that if you request a picture, you should offer one as well. Personally, I never asked for a picture and when helping my brother with his shidduchim I do not ask for one as I think it is wrong.Anon 99noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-90712358835013203482011-07-05T11:54:37.247-04:002011-07-05T11:54:37.247-04:00Frankly, I don't care about a guy's looks,...Frankly, I don't care about a guy's looks, I care about his personality. <br /><br />I'll be honest - I clean up pretty good, yet anytime someone has asked for my photo (which got thumbs up from family members or friends) I never end up going out with him. <br /><br />It's not like only guys from OT ask for photos. Guys who live pretty darn close ask for them as well. <br /><br />I'm entitled to my opinion, no matter how much guys may explain or clarify. A guy who asks for my photo? I think you are a- well, I suppose I should clean it up . . . jerk. <br /><br />If I don't need your photo, you don't need mine.

It simply means there's no potential for the relationship to work out. That can be b/c of attraction, personality, behavior, or other reasons. You can't necessarily tell if any of those will be a factor in advance, but a picture can certainly help with the attraction part.<br /><br />I don't think it's fair to expect a guy to spend hundreds of dollars (probably way more) to travel in to date you without knowing what you look like. Going through all that expense and finding that the girl is not the type he's attracted to, which could've been apparent from a picture, is draining.<br /><br />I think you should give the guys more credit. We know that pictures don't accurately show looks and we take that into account when making a decision. Don't get me wrong, I hate sending pictures, but I do anyway. You can avoid sending a picture maybe, but you're going to limit your options significantly and it's foolish to assume that the guys who will be available w/o sending a picture are better guys.BJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284005539217450744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-47504469810103246512011-07-04T20:46:03.195-04:002011-07-04T20:46:03.195-04:00I agree with what you've written- but eventual...I agree with what you've written- but eventually my parents and I gave in as well. My parents had two single daughters (now both happily married) and they just stopped fighting it. You can't fight an entire tide of change. It isn't right- but like so many things that aren't right- it just is. My parents realized that by being super stubborn about pictures people assumed my sister and I were unattractive- so they caved and gave it out. My husband didn't see my picture until after a date or two- and said it didn't do the real me justice. Pictures never do. ::shrug:: it's objectifying, it's painful and it stinks- so does unequal pay between men and women in the workplace.
