On the cheap dating sites, less than half of the women post a picture of themselves. And, I can understand that posting a photo can be a bit problematic.
For starters, you need access to a digital camera. Then, you need someone to take your picture. After that, you need to down load it from your camera and upload it to the dating site. So, I can understand why someone might not have a photo for the dating site.
However, recently I ran across a woman from the area who didn’t have a photo available. When I read her profile, I found out that she was a professional photographer.
I can only assume that her omission was intentional.
