Eh, they're trying to get it established as a legit business and fine for discerning adults. Maybe in a hundred years when they need to differentiate brands.
A profile that says you are not interested in casual sex, flings, or otherwise, and only want the longest term of relationships, when coupled with a selection of pictures that are all posed photos of you in your underwear with your face not in frame just might be giving off some mixed messages. Just, you know, putting that out there, not for any particular reason.
It's a scam profile.
But an elaborate one, it sounds like.

Yeah, that was my actual first assumption. I'm waiting 24 hours before I even consider sending a message, just in case.

My profile (when I had one) was pretty much exactly as he describes so I would not jump right to that. But I was on a gay site.
Uh, no. LOTS of people are super uncomfortable having their face in dating profile pictures, ESPECIALLY if they want to include sexy pics of themselves.
And those people are mostly overlooked and will continue to be so? If your goal is dating with long-term outcome, and the majority are showing their face, and you aren't, you're putting yourself at a disadvantage. Which is what people are saying. "Hey, cool, you might want to try something else though if that's true."

"if that's true" being the operative phrase here. I'm gonna go ahead and say you don't actually know.
It's not like they NEVER show their face; just after the messaging gets to a point where you're comfortable enough to do so.
Seriously, you all are being way too hard on these people. I had no face on my dating profiles and had no problem with it and very few people I messaged did either.

That is absolutely not the standard for any of the dating services I've used. Situations can be different, of course, but I brought this story up because it is an extremely unusual one for my overall dating experience.

Totally, it's probably pretty weird depending on personal experience
However!
I can safely say I would never be comfortable enough to have my actual face on a dating profile and I would be surprised as all git out if I was the only person. But, then, again, not having your face on a GAY dating site is quite a different thing.

And none of you know how incredible that reference is, because y'all ain't Cuban!
"Cuban" salsa with pineapple in it is some bullshit some schmuck on the food network made up. We ain't eat corn chips because we ain't grow any fuckin' corn.
Edit- having said all that, Mexican salsa is blood and you need it in you at all times.

Out of curiosity, why not?
For a lot of people it's still not safe, or they don't feel it's safe, for people to know they're gay.
Plus, let's be honest a lot of them were cheating on a boyfriend and/or wife/husband.

You know what they say about guys with big pauldrons, right?
they have a compressed spine?
no no it's interesting!
also you are a history nerd now
At my old telemarketing job the supervisors called it "The Devil's Lettuce." I've used that one a few times since then. Always a hit.
IT'S THE DEVIL'S LETTUCE I TELL YOU!
Edit: @Rainfall ffs
Shit, I think this is my first ghost ever.

Yeah, the whole "if you want summa dis, you'd best be in for the long haul" sell.
Also called the "shoulda put a ring on it" profile.
If someone wants me to know how attractive they are, they ought to include a picture of their face
No face leads me to believe it's an insincere attempt, no matter the base motives of the account holder.
It is extremely common to do.
Thats a straight up recipe for a murdering.
Look at spiders, for instance
Most frequently they are professionals or are stepping out on someone
Very occasionally they're just paranoid
If I see one of those profiles, I'm going to assume the former first
"if that's true" being the operative phrase here. I'm gonna go ahead and say you don't actually know.

and she's all:
"*drum-roll*
"Come hang out with me all weekend, Oct. 22-23 at a salsa dancing workshop."
Well, I'd love to, awesome lady, but you just killed me with that incredible invitation, so unfortunately I will be dead that weekend.
What the hell am I gonna WEAR!?
salsa, duh
oh wait it's a salsa workshop
chips
chip dancing clothes
so you'll go together
(this was a terrible terrible attempt at a joke, but I could really go for some chips and salsa right now)

I bought chips and salsa at Costco last weekend because it's been so damn long, and wouldn't you know it, Kirkland brand salsa ain't half bad.

then you refuse the invite obvs
Classy stuff.
Fuck you, I'm Cuban.
Cuban salsa has pineapple! That's against nature!
it was incredible but I've never been able to find it again
maybe I should just make some
Out of curiosity, why not?
There is no edible Cuban salsa.
Cuban salsa only has
azúcar.

what kind of chips do you eat?
Échale poquito de sal, mojo de ajo, ma' na'.
