Is there a bias against those still in the closet?

I also definitely think it has to deal with backing who you say you are. If you say you are this person then you must have several pictures of yourself. Me personally I will gravitate towards a person who sends me face pictures than body pictures. The human face is a very personal feature of the body and IMO is more important than the genitalia of the person I am talking with.

While I completely agree that a face pic is great, the irony of safety on the Internet is that by not providing a face, you are being safer. I don't have the luxury of taking that risk, not yet at least. Would I love to, certainly, but the consequences of something going wrong are massive and life altering in a way that makes it not worth it.
