Posted: 7/7/2007 5:34:25 PM | another one here for you
check out this guys profile -sugarray4
now whats he got what i havent got in my profile ladies........i think i know the answer ladies.
why does sugarray4 have a favourites list of 35 and i have a faves list of 4
i really would love to know, women keep going on that a high faves list means nothing at all , so why do some guys have high faves lists and some others do not, i would have a guess that women will make up the majority of the 35 on his list.
me bitter !!!!!!!! no way lol | |

Posted: 7/8/2007 10:58:49 AM | what would be a womans reaction if guys said they dont like fat or biggish women.
women who are larger or fat keep saying that inside they are still people and still need loving and want attention.......and quite right so.
not all men on here are "hunks" (tho to be honest i dont really know what a hunk actualy is ) and lets face it not all women on here are gorgeous babes so its really 50/50 in that respect.
men are just as comcerned about their bodies and their appearance, tho i wouldnt say i was athletic because iam not.
a lot of women have an image of their ideal man and i think are quite fussy in their searches for him, tho i do think men are a lot less fussy when looking for a mate. | |

i have been saying this on here for ages now.........
its NOT what a mans profile has wriiten on it what attracts women...its the guys good looks.
check out this guys profile i have discovered on my travels - rancher127
this guy dont have too much to say about himself or about his interests but what he does have (and from the amount of favourites he has for a guy) is in my mind good looks.......which is what a lot of women just seem to be attracted to.
You're not the only one that has been saying it. Why do you think that profiles without photos get very little response? It's a given that it's the packaging that we're using to attract someone to give us the time of day.
Take another look at your own photos. You're not smiling in any of them. I don't care what your profile says, if you look grumpy or too serious for me, I'm going to click on another profile.
Don't obsess about other people's profiles/fav's lists. Just get some happy shots up and you'll see yours change.
All we've got is packaging and text to tell us what we need to know about picking up that can and checking the content label. Every one of us is just another can on a shelf waiting to either drop on the head of someone interesting that walks by or be interesting enough for someone to look at more closely. | |

Posted: 7/8/2007 3:38:34 PM | I put a picture of my Porsche on my profile, I dont care if it's the wrong thing to do. I think it's much better than a motorcycle. It's just fun fun fun till the daddy takes the T-bird away... | |

Posted: 7/8/2007 3:57:28 PM | | So in all fairness- maybe we should all just put paper bags on our heads!! and go from there... personally, I read all the profiles, and my deciding point on contacting a person is based on that read.....i have noticed though, that gals that really show off their cleavage do seem to get multitudes of favorites on their favorite lists. Heck!! I am trying to hide mine. If i didn't-whooa, i be all over the page, for real!!!!! | |

Posted: 7/8/2007 4:35:57 PM | [Why if there is no photo. I have no photo and it is purely because I don't have a digital camera or webcam. Give people a chance. ]
I don't have a web camera or digital either but whenever I take pics with my old 35mm I get good ole wallymart to make me a cd. This way I can send pics to family and friends - plus if by some rare fluke a semi good pic of me turns up I can use it in pof.
I honestly don't make contact if no pic. I like to know who I am talking to and usually (not always but usually) the profiles don't say enough without the pic. | |

Posted: 7/8/2007 4:44:53 PM | if i see a womans picture and she looks like a barbie doll then you can bet that her profile will be full of "please no perverts" or "you must not be this" or "you must not be that" and then check the favourites list....it WILL be high and there will be loads of testimonials from guys saying how sweet and sexy she is.
why do a lot of men fall for this......a woman who thinks she is a model and a great catch in her bikini or a short skirt with words about sex and wanting to do naughty things..........guys just fall for this every time. | |

Posted: 7/8/2007 5:54:56 PM | | This is not a contest. If a woman judges me in a negative light based on my pic or my profile or my forum posts or whatever, I do not take it personally. I have to be myself and let the chips fall where they may . | |

Posted: 7/14/2007 4:11:28 AM | women keep writing on here and telling me in messages that a guys looks dont matter in the pictures in their profiles...........utter crap.
i have looked at loads of different guys profiles and it appears that the majority of the guys that appear "good looking" and are posing topless and sat in flashy cars or in exotic locations seem to be VERY popular with a lot of women according to the guys testimonials and high favourites lists.........its all there in black and white on the screen.
nothing will change the way i feel on this .........the facts ARE there........uuummmmm | |

Posted: 7/14/2007 7:01:51 AM | it would be nice to have an attractive partner. think that people want different things. for me, physcial appearance has not been the issue in relationships have had. maybe that is why place less emphasis on it in seeking a partner. the issues for me have been things other than appearance like attitude, problem solving, communication, trust, responsibility, and so on. so sure pic are going to be important for men and women. you can gain insight through pic. i was voted class smile in high school along with another that won't mention . but ultimately think that people do what works for them. would like a mate of mine to be attractive but those qualities that sustain the relationship is moreso what interests me at this time | |

Posted: 7/14/2007 7:29:13 AM | Digital Wonder - you are saying that POF women are hypocritical - that they say one thing about the type of man they want and then choose another having none of those qualities - just the physical and the material?
I'm Shocked !
hehehehehehehe

Posted: 7/14/2007 1:17:59 PM | Ha digitalwonder: first of all you can't name people the way you just did. Secondly the man has a talent for marketing himself, of course I checked.
He knows how to pose for maximum effect.
I've seen pics of men where I go wow and the very next pic of the same person is very ordinary.
That's photography for you, and putting your best shot up is smart. And that takes 10 or more pics before you get a good one sometimes.
Some people just know squat about making good pictures.
We should have a picture review thread as well as a profile review.
Not rate a pic that too subjective.
I've seen people complain about never getting any hits, all they would need are better pics. | |

Posted: 7/14/2007 1:31:07 PM | I personally have no problem with a man wearing a ball cap in his pic if his face is not obscured. If it is then I will comment on whether or not I liked the hat because I will assume that is what they were showing off. I like ball caps and even have a pic of my own wearing one.. so no biggie.
As for physical characteristics, I like a pleasant appearance, as do most people. I do not judge primarily on physical appearance because I have lived long enough to know that a pretty package is sometimes nothing more than an empty box.
I read profiles, too carefully sometimes but I find that "how" a man talks about himself speaks louder than "what" he says. If he say little or nothing and its all ask me later or prefer not to say....I don't bother. I took the time to write a few things that may or may not spark an interest. I appreciate a man who can show enough common courtesy to whoever is reading his profile to bother having something to say. I prefer not to start out by playing 20 questions. I don't need to know that he has 3 or 4 $35-$50,ooo vehicles and play toys. Conspicuous consumption may interst some but it really doesn't do alot for me. I am far more interested in substance and a regular looking guy is fine. By regular I mean ordinary. I am no "model" or physical "beauty" and I have reasonable expectations as to what type of man will be attracted to me. Personally I am attracted to guys a bit on the thick side....I don't like them boney but decent health is always good. I think shrek is kinda cute so I am more partial to the "not Prince Charming types" anyway. Something bothers me about a man who checks himself in a mirror more than I do. Self awareness and pride in ones appearace is fine but a serious vanity issue goes a long ways to sending me running in the opposite direction.
I also choose not to make first contact with anybody who shows that he is on a vast number of members friends lists. Some say that is an issue that they cannot control .. whoever adds them adds them and some they don't or haven't ever even talked to. That reply is simply a load of crap. We have no control over who adds us I agree, but we do have control over whose lists we allow ourselves to stay on. I believe some perceive it as a status symbol and that it makes them appear to be more desireable. To me , it is not an attraction trigger.
No picture always has me wondering why they are hiding and if maybe they are my next door neighbour. Professional excuses are lame unless they are CIA or undercover cops or career criminals who are on "Wanted" posters. This is a fairly reputable social site designed to meet and greet new people. This is 2007, we are not in the dark ages and this is not a "Sluts-R-Us" hook-up site. Some just need to set aside the drama and get over themselves. Sorry if this wandered off topic but ....
My $0.02 W55
lol EDIT: .. just to clarify.....on the "Sluts-R-Us" comment.. I meant not for most of us but there are always exceptions....lol
********and I think it is a rules violation to name other members in a post unless you are responding to them directly.. To name someone (who isn't here to defend themselves ) so as to draw attention to them in a negative manner is not exactly polite either even if it isn't against the rules. | |

yeah i have been checking YOUR profile too, wow you look hot in that picture of you in the blue top and blue skirt.........yes you certainly have some talent for posing in THOSE clothes.
but.........like i have been saying on here for ages now.........its all about a guys pictures, you know NOTHING about the guy in question or in fact about me, just because you think "wow" about him posing a certain way DOESNT make him a better person than i.
anyway you certainly did it for me in that picture but i have to say less hot in the other pics.
i DONT look for barbie girls........i just want a woman who will like and love me for who iam..........i dont pretend to be some one else. | |

Posted: 7/14/2007 4:03:21 PM | I think you can tell quite a bit from SOME photos- I don't go by photos alone but they certainly contribute to if I respond to someone. Funny thing- most men I have met online actually looked better in person! Bonus!  | |

i have just been told on another thread that in my pictures on my profile i dont smile which is why my pictures and pics of my self are NOT appealing to women.
please check again the profile of said person (the guy you said i shouldnt have mentioned) and tell me that because he isnt smiling in ANY of his pictures and then tell me that he isnt popular or less attractive because of this.........and i will tell you that it has f**k all to do with him not smiling.
it has ALL to do with his looks........why is this guy on 35 favourites yet he isnt smiling............at least iam trying to smile in some of my pics. | |

you have just blasted me because i dont smile in my pictures..........please read my post below .......................
i have of course looked at my own pictures.......some i think are better than others.
please check the profile of the guy (the one i shouldnt have named , earlier) and tell me if he is smiling and of course less attractive or appealing because of his lack of smiling then please get back to me............
check his faves list then tell me that his profile (not much written about him self) would be much better if he had been smiling. | |

Posted: 7/14/2007 4:53:58 PM | I don't think wearing a hat and sunglasses in a photo should be a turnoff unless its the only photo. I myself have more than one photo and in one of them i'm wearing a cowboy hat and sunglasses. I did so to give anyone interested in my profile, a chance to see me in different settings, and get a little better idea about who i am and what i'm about. | |
