1. With online websites like sawyouatsinai.com where i am a matchmaker i ignore those without pics… its a way to understand who this person is and if I can see them possibly together . 2. If it is a long distance shiduch involving money spent on plane fares etc and time off work/ yeshiva, i think if a guy wants a pic and vice versa, or SHORT skype meeting, i totally get it. as two minutes into the date he can be like no way and i could have saved us both money and energy. and vice versa. I thik if an FFB wants to do the old shiduch way, meet the shadchanit, no pic on profile like my daughter did and bh she married a great guy that also didnt have his pic- the shadchan knows how they both look and can describe it- go for it, its great if its good enough for the couple, i think sometimes if a pic is requested to be sent in the young bais yaakov circles it should ONLY go to the mother of the boy or girl. I guess it all depends on the situation, BUT one thing for sure, NOT ENOUGH people realise the value of a GOOD PROFESSIONAL PHOTO> too often i have a profile of a guy who doesnt smile, is looking over Niagara falls with a tiny pose of him which isnt clear, or the girl in a casual outfit out doing whatever, THE FIRST IMPRESSION IS IMPORTANT> like u wd get dressed up for a date that had real promise so when you first walked in they would see u at your best, a shiduch pohoto is not different. smile. look at camera. show ur best side. do your hair make up wear shabbos clothes etc…
