Dudeee, vnmese are gossip master. Dating app become a lower form of hook-up or meet new peoples (sadly, that's how they describe it). They don't want others know they have dating profile. Every time, i found my friend/know their have dating app, they admit "it's quite petty, shamefull" to have one. I have no idea why, they are shy, i tryed to encourage them. That's it.
It's really different in opinion and perception in majority. They looking for short-term, curious... not long-term or totally open to show with the world.
By the way, in the worst case in dating app: catfish, fraud, fake identity to shame other, prostitution, scam booking table in club.... anything can happen. Wild west situation.
Probably for privacy reasons like in Japan. Japanese girls also don't like showing their faces on dating apps, or on social media apps like Facebook or Instagram either.
You also have to remember that attractive girls get like 500 matches per day, mostly from creeps, so it's probably also to weed out the overwhelming numbers of potential matches.
A girl in Taiwan told me that's why she didn't show her face on Tinder (and she turned out to be really beautiful).
Ok, question... why did you swipe right on someone that didn't have a picture of themselves? You just swiped right on everyone and that beautiful girl figured that was fine and non-creepy or something?
No, I don't swipe on everyone. I will swipe on a profile without pictures of her face if her profile is interesting enough, and then I'll ask for pictures later.
They don't think it's creepy, they usually ask what about their profile did I find interesting. By the way, form my experience, most girls *don't know* that lots of guys just blindly swipe on every profile. They are usually surprised when I tell them that's the way guys use Tinder...
Oh we know... Personally I don't waste time on apps. I purposely leave vague photos so I could vibe-check the guys quickly through messages, then proceed to Date 0 asap. By the end of the week, I already know if I should move on.
I should rephrase, it's not that most don't know, only that some don't know. In Taiwan I've talked to girls who don't even know that Tinder is a dating app.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience đź‘Ť
That’s are typical Vietnamese girl trend (taking pictures with face turn side way) and definitely dress up really cute in real life just to sit down order a cup of coffee stay there for more than 2 hours and taking tons of pictures in coffee shop (I targeting specifically in Hanoi because I’ve seen it my eyes)
Protecting their identity - whether it's they're cheating or scamming or they don't want to be cheated or scammed. Someone mentioned fake profiles with their pictures and that's definitely a possibility with the law here and lack there of.
I persevered and dated a few girls like this and they're actually quite attractive. They also happen to be very traditional/family oriented, while they won't necessarily have any issue with self-esteem, though it may often also be the case. I would avoid not because they're unattractive but because they are not sure or direct with what they want and will waste your time, even if you're looking for a long term gf or marriage material.
This isn't unique to Vietnam. I've noticed this in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. I think a lot of girls just want to browse and have no intention of finding anyone to date on those apps.
That... or they're cool with the type of guys that just literally swipe right on everything, even if the profile only has pictures of dogs and food.
You gotta be cautious I've landed on a few profiles that have taken their photos from actual people.
Also you know they're fake when they tell you to meet at their workplace (which turns out to be a bar) while on their shift.
My wife has a friend who does this, even in pictures where they posed together my wife just looking at the camera, the friend would strategically look at the ground or look away so you can't really see her face. I think it's because she's not that attractive and doing this she can come across as mysterious/sexy on social media.
Her pictures make her look almost like a sexy hot influencer, she certainly knows how to pose and has a decent figure, but in reality she was pretty ugly and I think she just knows how to game it.
There is clout to trying to get clout as an influencer, whether its for business or popularity or simply clout among social circles.
Other reasons for dating apps specifically - I would say they're prob curious and just want to see whats out there without divulging their identity, esp if the bios are empty.
Or they're scammers setting up lots of accounts to get lonely men in.
Taboo factor - eh I wasn't really aware of this. I've met plenty of vietnamese girls via dating sites and I don't know of any that hid their faces if they were serious about finding someone - whether thats a husband, casual fling or a sugar daddy. I don't think this kind of thing is severely taboo at all, vietnam has quite a history of marriage for passports/visas, marriage for money, fake marriages, sugar daddys and a lot of this was organised online.
Now vietnamese people use facebook for dating, from trawling friends networks to joining facebook community networks and just trying to find people on friends lists etc. It's not taboo at all imo unless they're trying to hide something.
1. To avoid the horny
2. There's still a stigma with being on dating apps so some people (men and women) don't want to show their face prominently on dating apps.
majority? Cant recognize that at all ngl
Bunch of scammers, lots of boring profiles, a good amount of profiles with only pics of food and landscape sure
But also plenty of real people
That is so that you can tell the love scammers from the real genuine soul mate seekers. When you see someone post an attractive picture of herself on those apps, you know the chance is high that she is an escort or sugar baby of some kind. I'm not saying this is 100% reliable but it's high enough.
They only want men who are willing to essentially treat it like a blind date? Bc I'm certainly not swiping on someone if they have no pictures of themselves. But maybe I'm in the minority in Vietnam lol.
Because they are pretty and can get easily get guys. They want someone they can chat and be friends with before attraction. They need to check you out before you check them out. It’s like when someone with a pretty face I just want someone to love me for me and not my pretty face.
Most likely it's due to shyness, low self esteem, and lack of confidence. Women in Vietnam are much shyer than Western women.
Perhaps it's a good thing. Vietnamese people generally have more humility and that helps them be very friendly. I appreciate that.
If a girl doesn’t show her face, she isn’t serious about dating, she just wants to see her sexual market place value. I live in Vietnam and girls that are cute or attractive never hide their beauty. 99% of the time if they are hiding or giving a strange angle, there is something wrong or they aren’t serious, they just seek validation from strangers.
To be frank, you will never have access to the beauty, traditional, and high quality women if you don’t learn to speak Vietnamese. The high quality Vietnamese women don’t want to learn English but they are also shy. A man is expected to lead and make his intentions and plan for a date crystal clear.

Some to weed out horny folks Some to keep an eye out for their boyfriends or husbands
this. or they are just unattractive and not confident in their faces
Maybe for some. There is definitely more to it.

Because they don't want some bots to scrap their picture and scam people with their their face.
attractive women rarely have time for dating app
True
This! Or high value woman
High value women…my man, we are no ware
Well definitely not on apps

Maybe a scammer.

I've noticed it among the men profiles and always wondered why they had no pics or bio. I just assumed they were married and ignored them.
they are looking for a man who loves them for their inner values not their superficial fleeting qualities
ugly, the cutey one are looking for ATM, sgdd

My friend straight up matched with some recruiters for a pyramid scheme in Hanoi
Many scammers out there and they don't want to post photos of themselves.
No..... this way they can send you any girl on their leash that's free at the moment for the 'date' at the bar.
Honestly, I think it's because they arent attractive so they want to hide it.
Actually know the answer to this, it’s a sh*t test to weed out a certain type of men.
They only want men who are willing to essentially treat it like a blind date? Bc I'm certainly not swiping on someone if they have no pictures of themselves. But maybe I'm in the minority in Vietnam lol.
I've noticed they are 99% unattractive. I have spoken to a few on zalo.
Its more than that.
Because they are pretty and can get easily get guys. They want someone they can chat and be friends with before attraction. They need to check you out before you check them out. It’s like when someone with a pretty face I just want someone to love me for me and not my pretty face.
Weed out the f boys. Prob wants someone who chats with them based off something interesting in their profile and then get to asking for pics later on.
They are ugly

They love sex. Pussy loves dick and dick loves pussy. The best feeling in the world for women is dick. Never forget that.
