Lots of straight men don't post their pictures either. I often thought "oh, he must be married", but that's only b/c of my ex-husband. I didn't talk to anyone w/o seeing their pic since they could see mine.
So just ask them to send you a picture. I can think of a million reasons why someone might not have a picture on a profile, but still be out of the closet.
I actually met Rob from a personals ad I placed on the Onion.com's site. I think you'll have more luck, for example, joining communities here on livejournal, though, then just finding people off of a personals site.
And I'd maybe state in your profile that you are NOT interested in sex right now, or something like that.
I met Blue on facethejury.com of all places. It was kinda' pre-myspace. Picture rating community site thing.
5 year later - granted it included our share of twists and turns - we're still together.
I've met a handful of other people off myspace and things who've ended up being quite close friends.
I have placed a couple of ads wanting to join bands and stuff. Met people up through that. Through meeting a couple select people, and being introduced to other people through them. That's probably how I know the majority of my current friends.
I think you should have less empahsis on the dating aspect. Fresh blood, fresh faces, fresh conversations can be refreshing even if its platonic.
I think people join dating sites for ass. I think you would have better luck trying things like myspace and just making random friends. Even if you strike up a friendship with a female... who knows... maybe she has her own circle of friends... that could include lovely young gay men.

Not posting pictures in a profile isn't that big of a deal if you ask me...especially in a rural or conservative area.

Not posting a picture means "I am not out of the closet" in my eyes.
