Yes. Uploading a photo here won't fix the Gayguides issue.
There are several options, e.g:
1 Upload a photo. Any photo. One of a pigs arse would probably do.
2 Set your spam filter to delete the e-mails.
I never quite figured out the purpose of those photos. Also, every time I log in, it takes me to a profile page. Currently, this shows 7 people within 0m of me. I can see none of them. It shows exactly the same people when I am 6000 miles from here, so I think it's telling porkies.
Do take the matter up with Michael.
