Posted: 11/8/2005 5:53:38 AM | | I like to see a pic so I can get a general idea if I like his looks, must be some attraction there, then I read his profile if I like what it says ..... pictures of fish, (altho I have seen some good ones) and other girls , and their cars , doesnt do a thing for me. Motorcycles are ok but always better if he is sitting on it...pictures of kids are ok as long as its not the main one. What am I thinking, while looking? wow, ohhhh, damn, never, yuck, Hmmmmm read the profile. Where does he live? How old is he? Is it possible? | |

Posted: 11/8/2005 7:20:58 AM | wow it's a rare man that would admit that in a crowd,...way to go wolf,...and I agree with you and maggie,...
I tend to think folks who display only dimembered parts don't think of themselves as a whole person,....too bad for them,....
and BTW,...as an ex Hamilton Girl I am here to tell you except at the beach (where it's unsafy,..hygenically) there is no place you can go shirtless there,...summer,..winter,...fall,...whatever,...NOT EVEN IN THE GYM,....nice try though,...
and if you didn't think it was a big deal,..you clearly would have other things to do in your spare time but pumping iron,...
oh yea one more thing,...the pulling down the pants to reveal a hint of pubic hair,...what the heck is that all about,....unless you have some sort of disease,...we all have it,..lets move on,..ok? | |

I've been married before and had had other partners and I certainly saw what they looked like and although every body is shaped and formed differently I don't need to see your goods just like most women don't care to see mine, that's for private viewing to the one who has earned the right to see it.
That's my opinion. | |

Posted: 11/9/2005 3:25:11 AM | | Well it's all true Marita. Not that I DON'T look at the body,...I do...I'm a guy....what guy doesn't? But I DO like to see that she actually has a head with hopefully some brains in it! As far as pubic hair goes, there a time & place for everything under Heaven....BUT THIS IS NOT IT! YUCK!:PUKE: | |

Posted: 11/9/2005 3:42:26 AM | As they say, a picture is worth 1000 words. Your 1000 is going to be different than my 1000. And as for words? If I like the picture, I'll read on. If there's nothing to read, I won't take the time to contact you. I like to get an idea of what the person is like INSIDE as well as outside. If your picture doesn't give me a clear image, ie: too far away, too blurry, wearing hat or sunglasses then what's the point?
The other thing I absolutely HATE is when you have a picture of yourself that's a million miles away in front of some dumb monument that we can't tell what it is because on here everything is so small, and then the only other picture you have is a picture of you and 18 buddies. WTF??? Which one are you??? Or do I get to pick one out of the crowd?? JEEZ.....and chances are, you are NOT the hottie in the pic. | |

Posted: 11/9/2005 9:37:24 AM | You asked to say if I agree these arguments are true...yes, oh yes!!! I sooo agree with all of them...pictures of their vehicles are okay...kind of...with a fish, no way!!! What is up with that? Okay, so you like to go out and catch fish...you can say that but, why show a pic of it? I don't know that many women that are true fisherwomen...I enjoy it occasionally but, seriously! The prom pics no way!! You can always tell. The pics with women...I always wonder about who the woman is...glad I am not the only one. My other thing is the showing of genetalia (sp?). Okay, so once I get to know the guy I want to know alllll about it, but, to see all the details up front in just opening up the pics...( I know this isn't allowed on this site but, there are others that do) and introducing themselves...whoa!! Kind of wierds me out...anyway, just my two cents.... | |

Posted: 11/9/2005 9:57:53 PM | I agree completly about pics with the oppsosite gender in them, especially women who posts pics of themselves with men of have pics of men in thier profiles, I stay away from these women completely. To me they want to compare me to the ones that they have in thier profiles and when one starts comapring then it's over because no 2 people can be alike.
And I do like to fish as well. | |

Posted: 11/10/2005 3:44:50 AM | One perspective - Its not about a "perfect" photo eg perfection physically
I look for:
is it a clear photo eg can you clearly see a face [not into blind dates and never was]
is he smiling and looks like a [reasonably] happy person
photos of pets and animals go a long way
humorous photos - but then I am motivated by happy people so Im looking for someone that is or seems to be expressing that through their photos
Outdoors / scenery shots will catch my eye as Im interested in the outdoors etc etc
Other people look for different things, eg mood shots, sexy shots..whatever. I think you will find most poeople will be looking for in photos in different things that attract them. It wil lbe interesting to see the common denominators thoug which is probably what I guess you will be looking for also. Nothing like doing a marketing survey
There is no way you can know everything from someone from a photo Its just an introduction. | |

Posted: 11/11/2005 8:27:46 AM | there's mail and then there's mail,....
I always thought that what you said in your profile matters but I guess that's not always the case,....and the pictures you add to yours adds in developing the third demension to people who are in effect strangers,...
A couple of things worth mentioning is that first of all not everybody actually reads the profile,..
Perhaps they just skim but I am always amazed at how many things are overlooked and when I point them out I actually have gotten snot-o-grams back,...
for example,.....I SMOKE,....I say it up front,...in capitals even so it stands out ,..loud and clear,....and still,....I get messaged by people who insit on a non smoker,...sheesh,...
I also state my age and that I perfer dating in my own peer group,....
and oddly enough most of the people who message me,..(no not all,..but most)
are the age of my son's,...that's a bit weird for me,...is there a large number of men who seek out women twice their own age?,...and just FYI to me,...why?
and my biggie is and again I state this in big capitals so it stands out,....
SINCE I HAVE MY PICTURE POSTED PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME ASK FOR A PICTURE OF ANYONE E-MAILING ME,....
90% of all my mail,...you guessed it,...NO PICTURE,....
in fact I have gotten snot-o -grams,...just for asking,...they have given all kinds of reason's why they can't send one,...up to and including I don't know how to add a picture to the profile,....which would be a lot more convincing if some of them hadn't added some cute animal,...or cartoon or whatever,...
I mean duh!!!!!really
I consider a photo,....an introduction too,....akin to getting up to dance when someone asks,...
It's only a dance,...not a lifetime comitment,....and once you say yes,...don't many of the fellas turn out to be jerks,...and after the music stops you say thank you and go back to your seat,..right?
Same thing,....when you decide to get up to dance,...don't you do it based on the aproach?
This is a whole new age of meeting people,...we do it from a pool of so many now,...and just like you don't know the person you say yes to when asked to dance,...you do it based on his approach,...and his appearance,...in a second you size him up,...
you decide in an instant,....I just want to get up to dance,...verses,..hey,...he's cute,...or he's interesting,...or whatever,....
BUT,...AND THIS IS IMPORTANT,....HE COULD BE A BIG FAT LIAR,...WITH A WIFE AND 3 KIDS AND A DOG,....with a mortgage big enough to choke a horse,....and,...well you get the point,..
or,...HE COULD BE SICK,...TWISTED,.....OR DANGEROUS,.....OR ALL OF THE ABOVE,...
just like here,....regardless of what is in the profile,...it could be true,..or a creative work of fiction,....
Having said that,...I find that the more personal pictures the more information you have,...and although I have said it before,..I think it bears repeating,....
We preach to our children from the time they are old enough to comprehend,...
Do Not Go With A Stranger,....and what would you call meeting someone,....when you don't even know what he looks like,....a photo is not just being nosey or judgemental,...
******it's a prerequisite*****
On the rare occasion I have met someone,...(both times) I made sure that my son knows what the person looks like too,....just in case,....anything less,....is reckless,...and just stupid,.....
 and,.....even the photo that you are provided with,....could be a lie,...so caution is the rule of thumb,.....
to answer your question,...all of those things go through my mind,.... | |

why are all his pics at a distance?
what the hell w/the women in the pic
what the hell w/the line accross the chick in the pic?
is that his hair....or a hat?
why does a 40 yr old man still "kick it"? | |

Posted: 1/14/2006 10:13:27 AM | I would like to stick my 2 cents in here, maybe some of you woman can help me on this. I see alot of profiles with pics of very attractive women. I see alot of pic of very attractive, thin woman who have great bodys and they all seem to post pic of their parts. I enjoy looking at a good looking woman but I do not think its fair for a woman to post pic or herself showing her cleavage, her sticking out her chest, showing how skimpy her thong is and then getting p***** when alot of guys email her or only want her for her body, and they even go farther when they post this pics an say I want a guy who is very attractive, well build with a hard body an they do not want a guy who wants them for their bodies however they post pic of themselves showing off the boobs, if they are shaven or not an etc.. I think there is a very nice way to show your figure if you have one an want to show it by being clothed not be being half naked to do so. This is just amazing to me that some not all woman do this and still do not want a guy to have interet in sex but interest in them as a person. I see alof of woman doing this on many other sites as well. They do not want a guy wanting them for their bodies but they will only answer guys who are like models, this woman are hippocrates. They are many attractive woman out there who do not need to strip pose for a pic to be noticed an loved.
I would like to hear some comments on this if anyone wishes to. I also want to add I am not directing this towards on anyone posting on this thread or anyone specifly, just something I have noticed. | |

Posted: 1/14/2006 12:09:29 PM | | and women say they want a "real" man,most real men don't do a song and dance that well,and pray tell how does one take a picture that shows motivation,please describe the ridiculas ready,set,go! pose that would be neccesary to display such motivation.The fact is a man may be very motivated,own a nice home and car and yet if he poses next to them then he is God awful materialistic brute,he may motivated to work out and stay in shape then of course he self absorbed and conceited.The majority of women are like the majority of men they are looking for a reflection of a fantasy that exist in their own mind about some incredible superhuman who is infinitely fascinanting 24/7 can read and understand all moods, and will turn life on this planet into some kind of non stop happy fest.this is not a realistic concept of people or life but rather than face that most reject the simple truth and beleive a cleverly crafted lie delivered with pizazz and showmanship.The women go for the flashy con man and the men go for the bubble butted big boobed easy to get in the pants women,both will never be happy and will always be looking. | |

Posted: 1/18/2006 8:54:11 AM | Hey jfb315, I don't actually stick out my chest on purpose you know, they kinda stick out on their own. I think they do it because they get tired of cooped up in my clothes all day!
Seriously though, I agree with you for the most part except that if a woman has a picture of herself posted and she's somewhere like the beach and wearing her swimsuit then her chest is going to show obviously. I personally don't get upset when men comment on "the girls" I know they're hard to miss, I just thank them for the compliment and send a shout out to my Mommy!! | |

Posted: 3/11/2006 6:35:46 PM | Well, I think photos are important because, here online, they are our only indicator of physical attraction. And physical attraction is of course, very important. However, I don't think women will completely eliminate a funny, nice, intelligent, witty man who sends her a personal email greeting just because he is non-photogenic. There are many factors that play into a person's interest in you online.
But in all fairness, the first thing you notice when purusing ads on here is not the cathchy title but the line of photographs vertically piled on the left side of your computer screen. You might not be able to completely sum up a person's personality by just looking at a picture, but usually people realize that the photos posted of themselves here online are the first impressions given out to potential suitors and therefore, they post flattering ones. If a person didn't even bother to take the time to take a flattering/ semi-decent picture of themselves to post... they probably are not truly expecting to meet a potential suitor. | |
