Women why type anything about yourself just post a hot picture. I mean that is why you are here. Why settle for the local jerk at the bar who just wants to bang you like a drum when you could have millions of men judging you on your looks alone.

Posted: 4/9/2004 1:47:45 PM | So you're saying if a woman is attractive...she shouldn't post a picture? That's riduculous. My personal reason for posting a pic is so ppl can put a face to the person they are talking to. Especially in chat. Just my 2 cents.

Posted: 4/10/2004 7:10:31 AM | I've heard that a lot of people (in my case, mostly women) don't post pictures because they don't want someone who knows them to recognise them. Presumably these people that would recognise them are friends. I don't understand this thinking; why wouldn't you want your friend to know you would like to find a boyfriend/lover/...? They probably aren't out to hurt you, or you really have strange taste in friends.
As far as the pictures themselves go. In technical publications, graphs are supposed to contain the information of interest in the region 10% - 90% in both vertical and horizontal directions. Which is 64% of the image viewing area. So, if you are submitting a picture; your part of the picture should be around 64% of the picture (maybe 25% on the low side and 75% on the high side). Don't submit low light pictures (this is a picture of a black bear at night), pictures that are out of focus or that lack contrast. It is possible for a picture to have too much contrast. It should be a reasonable side: a 2x2 GIF doesn't even come close. :-)
A picture where you are smiling, or otherwise indicate you are happy is nice.

Posted: 4/10/2004 9:39:56 AM | | On the average dating site, profiles with images get 10 times as many responses as profiles without images. Because we don't allow searching by only images here its way more balanced. Because 10% of girls aren't recieving 90% of the messages here your way more likely to get a response... | |

Posted: 4/15/2004 1:09:33 AM | | i think u have to fancy the whole person to stay with him or her, character and all. I think everything has an important roll. | |

Posted: 4/15/2004 8:13:35 AM | I agree that the picture on profile is very important as you dont wanna start getting attracted to a person whom you find out they look like they came from another planet later on. although the idea of a woman from another planet might be interesting to some.
the first thing that catch the eye is looks, either you feel attracted or not, and in dating or love relationship its mainly about physical attraction as well as personality.
no one would like to sleep with the hunch back of notredam caught my drift?
unfortunately most of the women on this site who seem to be gorgeous inside and out are either living in canada or USA and not many here in UK... and ones over the other side of the atlantic arent interested in giving guys who live on this side the time of day.... damn lol

Posted: 4/15/2004 1:23:39 PM | | Most of us judge a pic in a few seconds and decide if we are compatible with that person or not, we could pass someone by who by rights could be the one we were meant to be with for the rest of our lives. Some people don't post pics for that reason...they want to be known for who they are inside first. We do go for looks to an extent, it's part of human nature. It takes someone real special to look outside the box and find beauty within. | |
|
| Re: Whats in a picture?
Posted: 4/15/2004 1:35:39 PM | yes i agree with what you said 99 but to look inside the box you have to have something to attract you to the box to look inside it. and start unwrapping to see more and more and get to know the real person. we all have at least one or two pics on our pcs nowadays and as you said human nature is visual attraction to things, for example you wouldnt ask about the spec of a car if it doesnt look attrative to you. etc. many examples even a healthy nutrtious meal wont be looked at if it wasnt presnted in a good way,
might be a shallow view but its human natural way of thinking and perceiving things .. and i love your poems so much. i could hear the birds singing in my bedroom now. while am having a can of fosters, | |

Posted: 4/17/2004 9:55:56 AM | | Your right wild.......we are all looking for that person who will crank our tractors.....if we choose to admit it or not! Thanks.....I'm glad you enjoyed those, they have been sitting at the bottom of my closet for years. They are by no means proper textbook poems, just personal ramblings, I thought some people might get a charge out of them! | |

Posted: 4/21/2004 8:23:45 PM | | There is a lot in a picture! Itz worth a thousand words, whether there saying yes I really want that person, or it could never happen! Either way way you need that opportunity to make the assumption! I also know that you can't judge a book by itz cover, but in the same token, if can't see the visual attraction, and all you have are just words, and if you ever get to meet this person, and when you see them everything changes, doesn't matter what he, or she has said, itz all forgotten, based on the looks! I hate to say this but in reality we live in a cruel world at times, and this is one that can be avoided in the beginning with just a picture, so why not spare everyone the heartache, because they say that there is a lid for every pot, so if this person is devoting all there time to you, thinking that there are in love, or whatever, and you meet, and this doesn't happen, then they might have just missed there chance to be with someone that really wanted them....... You know there Soul Mate!....... | |

Posted: 4/21/2004 9:22:02 PM | | a picture is nice to view, but there is so much more to a person than what they look like. I had a pic on my profile for about two months, got one note in my mail box ( some spam trying to send me to a pay site ). I took my pic off and have gotten a few more letters in my email. If we all could just look beyond what a person looks like and find out just who they really are, I think alot of people would be alot happier, or at least not as lonely :) Dont judge a book by it's cover, you might just miss out on what it is that you have been looking for all the time... | |

Posted: 4/21/2004 9:35:18 PM | | Works for men looking for women. But, without a pic I get nothing. I think I have very liberal views on what is attractive in a woman. I rarely make any real desision about her until I get to know her. But, I still like something resembling curves. | |

| Re: Whats in a picture?
Posted: 4/22/2004 12:16:08 AM | | Pics are great since most everybody is visual but lets face it, it will be how the person makes the other one feel that keeps them together. | |
|
| Re: Whats in a picture?
Posted: 4/22/2004 2:52:55 AM | | This is true! But in the same aspect I have a friend that is in love with me! And we get along great, are likes and dislikes are the same, but I don't have that attraction with him, and I have to say, itz because of his looks!....... Because he doesn't care the way he looks! I know everyone can have off days, but everyday, and them to see that everyday for the rest of my life, just can't do it!........ | |

| Re: Whats in a picture?
Posted: 4/22/2004 2:57:33 AM | | Oh yeah! I almost forgot, by the way nice pic rjn40! Itz nice to put a face with the words! And really this is what we are talking about! You just need pics! | |

| Re: Whats in a picture?
Posted: 4/22/2004 5:10:26 PM | | OK, you have to believe in yourself, before you can sell yourself....And we are all on this site searching for that special someone! But you have to admit that sex in pics sells big time, and for whatever reason that catches everyone eye, whether it be a girl, and she looks like a slut, or a guy thatz hot, you have to do something major for them to even want to take a look at your profile..... Let's face it who reads profiles before they look at the pictures? | |

Posted: 4/22/2004 11:00:09 PM | | I still need to figure out how to get my profile to make someone go scrreeeech!! lol.. naw, I'm not going to try and butter up myself, I am who I am, a real person, and that is what I want someone to know me as. what I put in my profile comes straight from my head and is about as close as I can get to discribing myself. Everyone has there own little qualities in themselves, and somewhere there is someone that is looking for just that. anyway, it's 2 am and I'm babbling.....lol | |
|
| Re: Whats in a picture?
Posted: 4/23/2004 2:33:26 AM | | You know itz very hard to descibe yourself on any profile! A person has to get to know you, because maybe people say to much in there, or again maybe to little, either way itz back to the pic to grab someones attention, and then they get to chat with you, and then you win then over with your thoughts, and feelings on life..... Always hold your head high, even in the lowest times in life..... Someone will notice what you have to offer them!......... | |
