if men wear sunglasses it's obviously because they have a hidden agenda to take over the world with their hidden red-swirly-hypno-eyes


HHOtttttT!

LMAO!!!
Kinda like all those black-suited guys ganging up on Keanu Reeves.
OP-The POF pic police deleted my original photo because I was wearing shades. Assuming that they were not singling me out for this treatment, you may sleep soundly with faith that the sunglasses purge will reach all of fugitives.

I think it is okay for men to wear sunglasses in one pic...Let's have another pic with no sunglasses...The women in the photo thing is definately a turn off.. Why would I want to post to someone who has women in the photos?

I thought the POF rules said no sunglasses or things that hid what you look like. I think that men that have foggy pictures, glasses, hats, and other things, they aren't serious about looking for someone. If things wouldn't work out with the guy I am seeing, I would just pass over those people. I also don't respond to those that don't have pictures.

It makes me wonder why they bother posting a picture at all.

I got an email the other day from a guy on another site. His picture showed the back of him driving a boat. Just the back of his head and body - no face. The shirt and shorts were baggy so it's not like he was trying to impress anyone with his booty either.

Well, I have a picture when I was at a beach. Sorry - I'll remember to not wear them and look all sqwinty eyed instead - far more attractive. Too, for those of you that don't like the shirtless thing either - I'll bring a shirt and tie to the beach too.

NOT!!!!

Get over it already. Yeesh.

You are right - the blurry web cam photos that you can't tell if you are looking at a man, woman or their dog are far superior. LOL

Eyes are a huge attraction factor for me, so if all his pics have them covered up, I click next.

I can understand not caring for pictures of guys with other women, BUT there are pics of women with men in some profiles as well...(but I usually try to cut them some slack and assume that those guys are relatives.)

But sunglasses?

Wow...once again, it never ceases to amaze me what stupid and narrow minded criteria people use to keep themselves single and bitter.

And some of you complain that there are "no good men/women" on here...How do you know if wipe out an entire chunk of people based on some idiotic criteria as sunglasses? Shouldn't you be more concerned if he/she is a decent human being, not that they maybe the only picture they have available to them are outdoor ones?

At the end of the day, if I cant see what he looks like because he is covering his eyes, then he may as well not bother posting a pic in the first place.

Next.

But mcopado, you have made the effort of putting various pics on your profile where we can see your eyes and face. Doesn't that say that you put your self out there and shown that you are truly interested in meeting someone? I would hope that someone that put a little effort into their profile might be a decent human being also. In the online world, profiles are first impressions - I would say that you have put a lot of thought and care into your profile - shouldn't you get more attention than the guy who just doesn't give a rip?

We're talking about dismissing someone based on him having a sunglass pictures, NOT if I read the original post correctly, about anything else on the profile...

My pictures are no more an indication of the content of my heart or soul, or my capacity to be a good partner than the type of car I drive. So in answer to your question, NO...I could be an abuser, or a psycho, or simply an a-hole who can market himself well, or I just happen to be good at writing, and have a bunch of pictures of me lying around...

Plenty of nice guys/girls don't have advanced degrees, or may be as articulate as I am, or simply don't have access to cameras/scanners, and therefore their profiles don't appear to some folks as "thoughtfully put together" as mine...So we judge them?

A long time ago I was working at a tv station that was going under. I was in my supervisor's office one day and he walked in and immediately swept a stack of unread resumes for a key position we were desperately needing filled into the garbage.

6 months later the station folded. I always wondered if maybe, just maybe, one of the people in those resumes, which were so callously discarded, so carelessly discounted, could have been the one to turn the station around.

If we use such shallow criteria as sunglasses to discount people then we could be missing out on the person we've been looking for.

It kinda reminds me of some saying some wise man once said...something about "judging not?"

mcopado - I'm sure that many guys dismiss me immediately because my waistline does not meet their requirements, and it's quite alright if they do. They could say, well if she really wanted to meet someone she could lose some weight. She obviously doesn't care. I put in the effort and keep trying to be the best that I can be. Someone was criticizing my profile becuase all I had was head shots and none that showed my body type. I actually bought a $400 camera with a remote just so I could take up to date pics myself so it didn't look like I was trying to hide a morbidly obese body. For a guy to take an indoor head shot and show off what could be his best feature would take maybe 5 minutes and definitely couldn't hurt his chances. On singles net I get constant winks and smiles from guys who have no picture and don't even write a paragraph about themselves. All I know is they like hockey and nascar. That's really nothing to go on and I can't contact them back and forth just to find out if they are really single, or trying to hide their identity for some reason. There are certain features that really get my attention and the eyes are first for me. I'd like to at least be able to pick someone out of a line up if I'm going to consider meeting with them.

It is like what they write in their profile. If they are seriously looking for someone, they take the time to write a decent profile. If they are seriously looking to attract someone, they take the time to post a decent photograph. If someone is hiding behind sunglasses, hats, etc., they are not advertising themselves as best they can. If they aren't interested in dating or ltr, it doesn't matter. I just speak about those that are trying to date and don't seem to understand why they don't get responses or are passed up.

It seems everyone might be missing something here. My pics were mostly taken outdoors, on the ocean where the sun is very bright, therefore lots of pics with sunglasses, one taken in a bar on Normans Island but you can't see me eyes.

At the request of a lovely lady that she see my eyes, I posted one.

I think they are trying to look "cool" which defeats the whole purpose. A cool person doesn't have to "try".

It is so hard to take off your sunglasses or hat when you have your picture taken. I understand having pictures like that, but if you are on here to date, you should at least have a head shot without sunglasses, hat or something else that blocks what you look like.

I have a very rare eye disease that doesn't allow me to see too much natural light.

If some one wants to judge me based on that then so be it , nothing they can do about it.

if they don't like it they can just grow up and click to the next profile , but I'm sure most likely they just need some thing to whine about.

^^^^^That is interesting. I mean, you say natural light, a computer, light bulb and flash on a camera aren't natural. So does that mean it isn't just natural light I.E. you wear your sunglasses 24/7?

Just as long as they wear their sunglasses with the lights off when I take my clothes off. No cellulite here. As a matter of fact maybe a leather blindfold would be even better.
