So it's absolutely normal that the picture will attract first, then the profile.
You just proved my point you liked one picture of mine and not the others.
Oh and one thing you will always find someone that is better looking than you, it doesn't matter how handsome or beautiful you are. If you are happy with who you are it will be way more attractive.
I'm getting pretty fed up with the Barbie thing, now that is very shallow. Waa....... I'm not getting any hits because of Barbies and hunks. Just like children why can't I have a cookie when he has one.
That pic with the under wear does nothing for you Btw. You could have posed differently. Take some advice instead of complaining. | |

yeah maybe your right, i too think iam probably wearing the wrong type of under wear ...perhaps i would look even hunkier in boxers......tho the undies i am wearing shows my buldge better than boxers i rekon and we all know how image obsessed some women are.
i have never considerd my self attractive or beautifull......iam just plain me, tho i keep getting told all the time from women that i (guys) should be myself and not pretend to be some thing i ( we) am not......yet check out some guys profiles with the "good looks" and these guys are very popular with the laydeeeeez, iam not complaining iam just telling it how i see it. | |

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.
exactly westtexan.. it isnt as though the hat and glasses are used as Marx brothers disguise. If it is the only pic , I think it still might be better than some attention seeking clown in a speedo..... just my opinion though. to each their own..... | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 1:49:12 PM | Unfair compairison. You're taking:
Situation one: Pick based on photo only
Situation two: Pick based on photo and small self-bio
In situation 2 the ladies can make a better-informed decision. | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 2:34:43 PM | photos are kind of important if you put one up. That is going to be the first impression other people have of you. As we all are well aware, first impressions are nearly impossible to fix if the aren't good ones.
The things in pics that bug me the most are
1 Men without shirts.
2 Hiding behind sunglasses / hats.
3 Fuzzy pics (make my eyes hurt)
4. 3-4 people in the picture so you can't tell who the profile is about.
These are ok for 2nd, 3rd, 4th pics, but please not for your main pic.
I really dislike ...
A. Photos of you holding a beer .... ick
B. Photos where someone has obviously been cut out of the picture.
C. Pics taken from 5 miles away LOL
D. Pics with your kids in them. Us normal people love them, but remember the weirdos are
looking too! | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 2:52:34 PM | Hmmmm ........I find it interesting that the poster of the forum needs to ask the question...
Kevin: When you see photos of women, don't you make an assessment?
I also notice I can't pull up your profile, but maybe I'm misisng an obvious place to do that...
For all the people I've seen on here complaining because some people won't speak to them without photos, this would be MY personal reasons for not doing so: photos do give you some idea of a persons personality, especially if they have 4 or 5 photos posted...
I don't want to see photos of a guy apparently naked sitting in front of his computer
I don't want to see just ONE photo posted of a guy, and he's drunk off his butt, with a beer in his hand or with half naked ladies sitting in his lap
This is an interview process: 'let me show you a little about me to see if your interested"....my time is valuable and I hope you feel the same about yours, so give people a way to figure out at least a little of who you are.....
I see tons of profiles with a blurred pic or off in the distsance with one or two sentences in their profile and with the attitude "You want to know me, write me"...
If this is all the effort someone is willing to put in at the start, I can't image they'd put much effort in if we actually started dating...
Just my opinion.... | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 3:12:36 PM | I agree with hotrockinmama.....
For me, first thing is if I see intimate encounter.. I don't even look . The the next would be married .I do not date married men. Also if i see they do drugs. Ex girlfriends in the pictures area turn off as well. I have also seen profiles with materialistic things in it which does not impress me.
A picture of their car, it's like advertising, "see I'm rich" it's a turn off,,,,,
There has to be something in a photo I find interesting, I do like a smile, even if he is kinda ugly a smile says a lot for me... short hair, clean shaven, a small mustache is sexy.
Not too many extra lbs...he has to show he takes pride in him self.......no shirts is a turn off....
I do chat with several with out pictures and often dont bother to ask for one unless I am a little bit interested and many have an excuse as to why they dont have one..

Posted: 7/18/2007 5:57:55 PM | Thank you ladies, I was begining to think it was just me. Photos say something about you, the ones you choose to put in your profile. They are used along with the answers and the text to make determinations. Perhaps the problem is that guys might like to see women put in pictures of themselves, topless, taking their picture in front of the mirror. They may not realize how that appears to a woman when a man does it.
Can I add one? The posed sneer looking down the nose extreme closeup with hat on sideways. If you hear me screaming around the fishing hole, it is because I got another one of those. | |

Posted: 7/19/2007 7:19:09 AM | | All I can say to this question is that I included a wide variety of pics in my profile to cover all avenues. After all, we can't satisfy everyone, and I generally try to depict my lifestyle in my pics to show women what type of personality I have. | |
