that means you like it if men sent you messages with fake photos? POLITE means using true facts. thats my opinion about a good basic.
and yes, its better using no photo as a photo who shows another human.
of course i read a profile, but you share no description. i am only able to decide of photo and age, height, weight,... so, what should i read?
i would say i am very polite. but i am long enough using this site to know about "strange" people. maybe you are not, but nobody knows.
