couple's profiles with no picture of the male

October 06 2015

was just wondering why this has become a thing that more and more couples seem to do?there are pictures of the lady in the public gallery but nothing of the male partner at all...when one is playing as a couple, wouldn't be the norm to display pictures of both of themselves ? we have had couples approaching us where this was the case...now i understand that we could just ask for their private gallery and that would be that...but often that means that they ask for ours back, face shots included...we don't want to see their face shot straight off the bat, as we may not want to reciprocate, if the physical attraction is not there...but we (well me, the female) won't know that till i do get to see their galleries, as again, there's nothing of him to see in the public gallery...not even a chest shot...so more often than not we just say thanks but no thanks, as having to ask for body shots of him makes us feel uncomfortable:( so my question is for couples who do this...why?why only showcase the lady but keep the male behind closed doors?' s it assumed that it's enough to be attracted to the lady only, and it doesn't matter what the gent looks like?

    .... is "bait". The woman is generally the bait...... which is why they hide the hook well. DG

    We have pics of both. (But more of her) I guess its a 'marketing' thing for some. Females are generally more attractive than males, they make us blokes look good! But i agree that there should be photos of both partners. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Also I have noticed that its quite a common thing to see nice pics of the lady taken with care and obvious thought, but the male half has the mirror selfie pic. Dont know why his partner couldnt take a nicer photo of him. And some couples who are looking for single females should take into consideration the single girls would like to see more pics of the male. Not just a blurry chest shot in the mirror.you can still take some nice shots while still being discrete for identity.Best ones are the pics taken together in my opinion.

    And also, if there are lovely (dressed) pics of the wife perhaps with some (naked) bathroom selfies of hubby, it's worth asking yourself if she is even aware she is on this site.

    Best foot forward. The guy may be the weakest link in the team so keep him tucked away till interest is aroused. By then you may be asked by your male partner to take one for the team cause she is "smoken" hot. Please.....please!! Check it out. If the guy is hot, his piccy will be there, dont doubt that for a moment.

    women, at 20% to 25% body fat look fantastic, and even if higher than this, they can still look greatbecause they have boobies and asses, and we all love those. Guys, on the other hand, do not look too flash if over 15% body fat and that is not an easy number for most to achieve. For a guy to look really good, 12% is a typical maximum, and most don't havemuch muscle to present at that bf level. So what I'm saying is, on average, the majority of us guys do not look too flash without threads onand it's much easier for a woman to look good nude than it is for a guy as the bar is a lot higher forus to reach the 'hot' zone as it were. As Sydneycpl88 said, it's marketing; women are much better eye candy than us guys are.

If the guy is hot, his piccy will be there, dont doubt that for a moment. If the guy is hot, he will always show himself, no question, I see so many couples profiles where the girl is hot and quite often a lot younger and the male half is gross, few half concealed pics hidden away, you half to wonder, guess like you say, one partner ends up taking it for the team, god, I never could though

    I was contacted by a couple where she was stunning and he was average (which I actually like). Something seemed off though, so picture searching I went. Lucky guy, turns out he had a lingerie model for a girlfriend. A long-distance relationship though I think, considering she lives in New York... B-)

    "For a guy to look really good, 12% is a typical maximum, and most don't have much muscle to present at that bf level." That's your preference, personally I totally disagree.

    Women are likely to work hard on their appearance and keep looking good. The same is not true for a very high percentage of the guys. So if there is nothing of the guys then that pretty much answers the question for you in that department. If the guys are so famous that they need to keep everything of them in a private gallery then that is ok so long as they are then brave enough to open that early on. But nothing of the guys, or a blurred picture with sunnies and a hat at 20 paces is a definite pass for wasting our time. The whole equation is hard enough already without showing up to a blind date where you will likely discover some lovely middle aged husband who stopped making an effort 20 years ago but still thinks you will find them sexy. There is more to the equation than just looks and body, but if the guys think they are too famous, shy, or unattractive, to be seen then we are happy enough to believe their judgement and look elsewhere.

    12% body fat? Any guy that has that will be too busy looking in the mirror at the gym to even remotely think they have time to have a root. It's not the sex olympics here. We dont need to be highly tuned elite athletes. We are-: Normal people wanting amazing sex. Not amazing people wanting normal sex

    ...for your comments and input...i kinda gathered that some of the reasons mentioned before could be the cause of hinding in the darkness...but still...one will have to show themselves sooner or later...and what a wasted night out it would be for all involved when you meet up in the flesh and realise that there's no chemistry there whatsoever :)life is too short to fuck around with things like that in my opinion...why not to be just honest, open and straight forward...if i am not attracted to a guy, i still won't shag them...but at least he'd have my respect for being open and honest, instead of playing childish games of hide and seek...maybe i am just too naive, but that's my take on it anyway:) again, thanks for all for taking the time to comment xx

If she were single that is, or if I were into couples. I was not complaining. Just saying, if I were looking for a couple, that cover photo would certainly get me checking out the rest of the profile. Damn tempted to check it out anyway.

    from a guest point of view, and I get that paying members don't need to lose any sleep over us tight asses haha, but as a guest, and I mean this respectfully, the pictures of your partner I find dark, hazy and 'bitty', meaning just small areas of the body, but all dark, hard to make out, and I find pictures like that irritating, I would be probably going for the back arrow, just some feedback, but since you're asking the question here, why wouldn't you yourself have clear pics of your man? You kind of get a hint he has a good body, but it's only a hint, and I'd be suspicious of it personally, just saying

    I don't mean suspicious of you personally, I just am normally with those type of pictures, though in your case, the silhouette of your guy alone would probably urge me to follow up. So I wasn't bagging the 2 of you as people, just didn't word it very well

    Unicornhunters1: Maybe I was not clear enough. I was trying to convey that it's not just a case of having low bf, but having muscle in addition to that in order to present an aesthetically pleasing image. I, like yourself, put the time in at the gym, but if Joe average just thought 'I'll drop weight and look awesome', you and I both know how that's going to end. Meander + Whateverway: I do understand that one size does not fit all, for the sake of this forums subject matter, I was simply attempting to outline a potential reason why so few guys present pics. It's not about rooting or what you want or don't like to see, it's about how they feel presenting there body for all to see and often guys don't feel so confident about that.

    Has way more pictures of me, since I 'run' our profile but every opportunity I get, I'd take photos of hubby! I do have more photos of me because I do play on my own and as a couple, equally. Let's face it though, I agree with some of the above posters, it's the woman that's the 'draw card' for most people! Statistics aside, I agree with Langton and other posters! It is easier to 'sell the idea' of a couple by putting the woman forward more. What is the equivalent acronym for BBW for a man? Does it have the same sexual appeal? Food for thought. Mary xx

I post too much. And i did use the blanket statement that gym junkies may be vain /self absorbed. Off course not true in all cases. Compliments for your own body shape/condition. You look great. I know my way around the gym and know and been with enough gym junkies to be able to say that a large number of them are. Especially so when you are talking low body fat %. and they have comps in sight. Each to their own. I do admire the mental fortitude to get to that level. I bypass the weights because it goes against my feminine side. But i do maintain a high level of cardio fitness and tone because my life depends on it in an extreme sport i pursue. The question that the subject raises is one of if such a high level of sculpturing and masculinity perfection is obtained, does it limit your offerings with other couples whose male members will feel intimidated by your presence and therefore say pass. Same as a female may pass on a playmate because the other woman could be too hot to allow her man to play with. So having just dribbled all that out, i shall post a new thread with that scenario so as not to drag things off topic here. Annie

    It is a balance between privacy and interest. Just show enough that will let customer enter the shop. This is assuming it is the male who is doing shopping on behalf of both. BTW it is just a guess!!!

    There's very little in the way of couples that are both fit, unfortunately if there's no pic of the male we won't even reply as it's also general curtesy I think if approaching another couple. - Posted from rhpmobile

    But come on....the guy's looks are important too. Mr Lifeunscripted might not care too much, but Mrs Lifeunscrupted is interested in men and women, and you are important too! Truthfully this kind of drives us a little nuts, lol. Especially when are given the privilege of access to the private group pics, thinking that maybe now you will get to see the Mr, and he is still missing. Add a couple of pics to your open profile, full body, clothed is fine. And then at least one good face photo in the private group. That will least give something to go on. :) - Posted from rhpmobile

    We have two photos in our open pics...one of each, which I swap from time to time as the cover. (Mr here) As a marathon runner, I'm never going to have a lot of muscle and the body fat varies depending on how much I'm training and eating. Her weight goes up and down - that's just how life is. She thinks I'm hot, I think she's hot. If others find us attractive...all well and good.

    If a profile has no pics at all it's a "move along, nothing to see here" scenario. Your profile is like an advert for you as a couple. What does it say about you? Fill in all the details, it helps others see if there a compatibility. Put up a gallery or two and include face pics in a private one. Include a decent blurb where others can get a bit of a handle on who you are apart from your dimensions. Are you verified? Do you have any friends? Do you have validations? Are you active in events, posts, dates? Once, our interest is peeked, we tend to check everything about a profile to hopefully get a better insight.

    Quoting 'PerthHillsCouple'She thinks I'm hot, I think she's hot. If others find us attractive...all well and good. That's exactly what we think, we are not missing out if somebody does not find either one of us appealing. We are here not to spice up our sex life but to share our spiced up sex life with others. We both find each other attractive and at the end of the day that's all that matters. Neither of us are super fit or pretentious about looks in fact we have found the more desirable ones pictures are generally dictates their attitude towards our age difference of which we have no issue with. We prefer to regular pictures with regular people all shapes and sizes.
