^^^^^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?


well some times I take them off when I'm having sex.

but not often.

^^^^So that is how your other two head shots were taken. Hmmmm I could have sworn that was a phone in your hand, but hey, what do I know.

Seriously, not a profile review, but the pic with your hat on and you can see your eyes, oh so cute. If my daughter were 10 years older and we lived on the other side of the world

It just seems men are awfully defensive about this. I am not sure why guys don't understand if they are trying to date women, women are going to pass over a guy that they can't see their eyes. Eyes are the first place a woman looks when she looks at a face. I know it is to identify emotion, but it is also something attractive. I do like to see eyes and a nice smile. The sexiest thing a man can wear is a smile.

I totally agree and was wondering when I would see this post. A person can look totally different when they take off the sunglasses. It is okay to have one pic with sunglasses on, but you should have pics without them too. Otherwize, how can anyone tell what you really look like if we can't see your eyes? I mean, what are these guys hiding?

I have photos where I'm wearing my stunna shades, though none are posted on POF. I don't mind sunglasses at all, just as long as the guy has a clear shot of his face which include his eyes.

I also don't see anything wrong with taking pics with a camera phone. I have three pics in my profile, where my body is mainly on display. I even have one as the main default pic, but I do have a clear close up of my face. This body is bangin, and I must admit that I do like to show it off. There is no harm in that. Just because I take body shots, doesn't mean I'm desperate for attention.

What I can't stand are fake, doctored, photoshopped pics. Pics that are too blurry, dark, and too small. I also don't mind pics that are far away, just as long as a close up is posted.

Pics with girls are just retarded. I don't want to see your ex. I don't care much for guys who post pics showing off how they know how to party, either. But to each their own, I suppose.

But all in all, I don't mind guys in sunglasses. I wear prescriptioned glasses, and I never wear them in my pics. Does that mean I'm being deceitful? No.

I rather him be himself, that way I will know what his personality is like. So if he is with a bunch of ladies, well he is outgoing, if he wears shades , or glasses...he is just himself, and down to earth...you can see alot from a picture..just look!!

I wonder how many of you men..would choose to date or "meet" use ladies if we had on a huge ball cap..sunglasses..and a beer gut. This is a "dating" site and I would think that most people would want to put a real effort into looking good and showing theirselves..why not? And you people that dont even put a picture on your profile..what is that? Who and why would or should someone want to date you? And you people that dont even fill out your profile? Im saying..if its important that you meet someone special..cant you put an effort into it? Does it REALLY take that much time? Maybe set aside a weekend so you can "donate" yourself to this site for maybe an hour and share yourself.

I'm not shallow..really not..but I know DAMN well most of the men on here go by the looks of a woman..forget she might not be in his league..and so he remains alone and doesnt know why.

Guess my 'favorite' is the man that gives a list of "requirements" to meet him..lol..most of the time hes not even worth it..

sunglasses means they are hiding something, maybe married or atatched.

Maybe they are blind? Afraid of being recognized by the police, the wife or something? I'm sure wives and girlfriends would never recognize the men in their lives if they throw on some sunglasses.

Obviously it can't be because they are outside on a sunny day or anything even remotely similar, that's just not logical. Just looks like some lying, deceiving, shifty behavior to me. I am surprised NOW hasn't organized some protests against this form of bad male role model bahavior.

Too funny!

Other guys who wear shades are one of my pet peeves, along with guys wearing hats (check it - there's guys out there who think outlandish headgear makes them cool!)

I mean, what is the point?

I always find it weird when I see a photos on female profiles and she has a lot of pictures of her with other guys. Besides it just not being very attractive, I always wonder do these other guys know they are being used on a dating profile? When I see that I think "well these 5 guys did not make the cut..."

A lot of people look better with shades on. I'm sure they're using their best pictures to get someone to open their profile and check them out more closely. It's no different than women who display their breasts and manipulate pictures so that they appear to be slimmer, or who post main pictures of themselves with their more attractive friend to draw you in.

I've been considering posting a main pic of myself with sunglasses on, standing next a young bodybuilder friend, in front of another friend's Ferrari, with a backdrop of another friends's McMansion.

Another thread where people are being fussy about photos. Maybe most of their recent photos were taken outside on bright sunny days. I certainly would rather a see woman with sunglasses over a woman who had used old / deceptive photos to hide her actual age or body type.

A guy sent me a photo that was not only really out of focus, but he was wearing shades in what appears to be an indoor shot. So basically, this was the photo he sent me to let me know what he looked like. I replied:

Here's a question for you.
Why the shades?
Do you usually wear them indoors?
Are you Stevie Wonder blind?
or,
Is the future so bright, you gotta wear shades?

His reply, and I paraphrase, was the he thought I needed professional help.

Okey dokey....

Sorry, I just can't believe you said that. LOL!!!
There are voracious, horrid monsters under your bed, too, I suspect. Lol.

Hmmm, might be good point. What mystifies me is when she has pics showing her surrounded by other women, often without a shot with only her face, and without captions to identify her. Even when she does help you pick her out, more often than not you're wanting to know more about the "friends" in the pics than about her, cuz they're more, uh, photogenic. Lol. There are bunches of these group pics on this site.

For several months, I used a pic, taken outside on a sunny day, without the shades. I was recoiling from the brightness when the shot was taken, but I thought it showed me honestly (even added a caption to explain the circumstances). One recent day, in some forgotten thread, some guy made a casual, btw comment about the constipated poster (yeah, he was talking about me, lol). I webcammed a replacement that day (LOL!!), which I will live with til the next photo op.

I think most of the time there's nothing suspicious about sunglasses picture. I have two pictures without them, and one with sunglasses. There are far more suspicious or strange kind of pictures on pof than that.

i don't mind some pics with sunglasses if he is out in the sun, and i like to see what he looks like without them. what i don't like is that so many guys have pics in hats. i've mostly quit even clicking on them to see if he has any other type pics. i like to see what a guy's hair looks like, and on my page at any given time, over 20% don't show that. it's fine if a guy wears his hat to work or whatever, but doesn't he ever take it off? and i'm interested in what he'd look like when he isn't at work. who cares what he looks like if he has to work in a hat.

I think that the whole guy-wearing-sunglasses and/or baseball cap is our equivalent of chicks profiles that only have a headshot.
If guys assume that a girls is fat if she only has a headshot in her profile, then I guess we assume that a guy is balding and ugly if he's wearing sunglasses and a hat in his.

well i don't necessarily assume it's those things, but i'm so tired of seeing soooo many on my page that i am tired of clicking on them to see if there is another type of photo. i have various pics posted that are body shots or in different settings, with makeup and without, with sunglasses and without. so i think i'm showing myself pretty realistic, whether it's seen as good or bad. i want the same from guys.

I think women who are suspicious of men who have
1. sunglasses on
2. pictures with a bunch of women
3. pictures from far away
4. no picture
are hiding something too. Some women do the same things.

I think that any guy using their main profile photo with sunglasses on, has something to hide or else he's married or involved with someone.


Maybe you should stop thinking. Have you ever thought maybe they're wearing sunglasses because it's sunny outside and they're in the sun? Or they are going out in the sun, and maybe even thsoe sunglasses have prescrition lenses so they can see, while in the sunlight? Now, that's real thinking at work.

Good thing I don't think like you, or I would be thinking "Any girl using their main profile photo with sunglasses on, has something to hide, or else she's married or involved with someone."

They have horrible suspicious eyes that are so unsexy and have to cover them up with sunnies.

whothehellknows;

I hear ya'. I can't believe the stupid thoughts going through peoples brains. I think the OP is a moron, and anyone that thinks this way has some serious issues to deal with, all of you should get some serious help. Sunglasses are designed to protect your eyes, and allow you to see more clearly, the design is just representative of individual style. If anyone with half a brain wanted to hide their face, I'm sure they would know a pair of sunglasses surely won't do the job. I'm wearing prescription sunglasses, on my way out on a nice sunny day, and the shot was taken by my little girl (daughter), according to the OP I guess I was trying to hide something when that shot was taken. Right? Hey, maybe I'm trying to hide the fact that I have brown eyes. If someone doesn't want to talk to me because I'm wearing glasses, then so be it. I don't want to talk to them either, because it would be a clear indication that those individuals are idiots.

Yes blah, blah, blah................that makes sense in the "real world" but we are on a dating site and so IF the only picture they have up is one with sunnies on then they are the idiots here because no-one can see them.

"Maybe they are blind? Afraid of being recognized by the police, the wife or something? I'm sure wives and girlfriends would never recognize the men in their lives if they throw on some sunglasses. "

Brilliant response.. Omg women, seriously get over your paranoia.. Next thing you know you will be claiming a man is hiding something or being shifty in the feng shui of his position in the pic..Do something constructive with your time, like make friends and meet new interesting people.. Or see a Dr. about anti social paranoia medication... Ya know the good stuff..
