I did. but it doesn't seem to matter. I had better luck in grade six than on this site..Not sure what all these ladies mean when they say they want a good man..Is that some secret code than means they want a male pig...I just don't get it..was here before...and in one week, I can feel the desire to call it quites...You find a gal that you like and then she plays the I'm not too busy to read your emails but too busy to respond...
This should be an excellent opportunity for people over 35 and the bar scene to meet..seems like a high percentage of the ladies..my age range are lookin for notches..not a partner..
very frustrated....barry

I fired the photo-journalist who was chronicalling my life of excitement and high adventure. He was a bit too much of a fem anyway - bugger was always trying to get me to "smile at this - smile at that."

This situation, aggravated by my extreme phobias, left me only with a photo album showing what has come to be commonly known as the signature "foolmeonce 2 range stock photo posing" collection -- Available in the Bored or Complacent edition.

Would you like those in wallet sized or 8x10 glossy framed print. We do take paypal.



Crap - note to self. Get a smiling photo on profile.

Hi Blondie,
I can't answer for the other guys but I have never like to have my photo taken. I don't feel at ease having it done. I do the photo because I want the people to know the persons face behind the words being said. If my photo gives the impression of meanness it is not intended. I by no means am that way. I am only that way when pushed to the breaking point and am either in a protection mode or self defense mode. Either way gawd help the one I am doing either with. For at that time I am all out, out for to do bloodwork. I am almost always in a good mood and happy go lucky. main goal in life is to be happy and maybe make other feel good or make them happy. Oh and you have a lovely smile in your photos.


Moundpuppy, I think that's a very cute photo of you.

Doesn't matter if you didn't smile. However, you do look a little uncomfortable.. as if a grenade were about to go off in your house

I never feel at ease with my photo unless I have had a few to many drinks and thats hasn't been the case in over 25 years. I also don't like to wear my teeth unless I venture out or I am going to see a lady. I have sat and talked to people for hours and they never knew I had no teeth. One lady I know I had talked to her for almost two months and I had never smiled until one day I happened to have my teeth in and did so and she said I had a nice smile and wanted to know why I never smiled. I told her because I didn't have my teeth in. She was shocked because she thought I had them in all that time. and thx sari for the comment on the photo.

I hate to take my own photo let alone smile even my freinds think I look mad but they have come to realize that it is just the way I look . Non of the pictures of me come out the way I 'd like them to specialy when I smile its sort of hearing your own voice on tape that too drives me crazy. I dont understand this but what I see in the mirror is ok with me but take photo and I can give you a lot of reasons why i dont like it.

I think the only photo I liked of myself was when I posed as Clyde and an old gf posed as Bonnie at expo 86

MEN ARE HURT JUST LIKE WOMEN ARE! WOMEN ARE COVERING UP THEIR PAIN, MEN AREN'T!

I judge (assert) men are too depressed to smile working their butts off to meet women, work and make money to date women and by the time they are done with the chaos of being slane by so many rude women they are lucky they are not frowning and haven't gone gay.

Perhaps they are showing you the "typical" them...or their shadow side...

Men are usually clueless and way too in to addiction and muting the pain of past rejection, mind games, rescuing emotionall hurt women, and not drowning emotionally from rude obnoxious "better than thou" fake superficial women to smile.

I used to not smile until I did over 9 years of deep personal growth work.

This is very interesting. Does it help people who are emotionally distraught? Does it help them without urging them to follow a philosophy of life different from the one they believe in? I'm all for psychology, but I think all forms of psych therapy can be dangerous in that each might lead the patient to follow the philosophy of life of the therapist/therapy creator. In this sense, isn't one becoming a clone of the therapist/therapy designer?

You two must be a real treat to meet I bet !!
Hey clam down and take the mind exam's and put them away !!
Hell sure some people don't show their teeth in thier pic's but that don't mean we don't have them !!LOL
Nope don't mean we feel too sad or down to smile either !! Maybe we know that to show your teeth that is considered a sign of aggression !!LMAO
And we're just not lookin for a fight only just a date !!

@ steve or loveismyreligion

you know this is interesting but there is a problem to it for sure. Not all men have a problem with rejection. I am one for sure. I have been in many relationships and have always left them as friends and am still friends with all the ladies that are still living. Now I don't have to say why I don't smile in photos since I have already done so prior in this thread. There are ladies that feel they are better than some men but there are just as many men that think they are far better than a woman walking. There are a few in POF that think thier a***s don't stink but thats thier choice and the way they believe it to be. they think they are gods gift to the opposite gender. when in fact all it is is they have an additude problem in what they know. if something happens and suddenly something changes them then where will they be but in turmoil with themselves. so it is not just women an by all means not only men. it is both for sure. Now as for another point here. I am not one that will show my pain unless it is unbearable to me physically. Emotionally I am very strong and I can whip anything thrown at me. as far as growing in personal health and emotional knowledge everyone needs to look at themselves in that area and not have anyone tell them that they need this or that. My question to that is what makes them the ones that tells others how and what to think and do. when all they have is a paper that says they completed a certain amount of time in school. heck we all have had time in school and some a little longer than others. Does school teach everything that there is to know? I don't think so. Some of the people I have known that has graduate degrees are lost when it comes to commow sense. Book smarts yeah they know but with out commow sense then book smarts is nothing. so taking and achieving the emotional standing that one wants for themselves is what they have to search for. If they build that emotional barrier in themselves then they can face any and everything coming at them including rejection of anykind.

right on !!
Well I guess they figure if they use all them book smarts on a singles datin site they'll get all the hot sexy single women !!

But kinda makes us other guys wonder about thier so called highly skilled learning when they try to tell us how we should or should not behave !!LOL
Dam right can't learn how to win a ladies heart & respect from a book !!
And nope can't learn about rejection either those books both are a hands on experience !!

smiling is for the effeminate and softies...(aka gays) at work and at home and in the bar....unless you're a happy dog. Ever see Tom Cruise smile if no women right in front? NO.

I hate dogs. I smile all the time. Especially when I see dumb people. I am also the type of person who sends gay porn to people who think everything that is not like them is gay. And then I smile and laugh even at the thought of the situation. Some people are just more fun than others.

TXbiker--you have sort of sensual smile....

Yes, I agree some guys should smile in their pic's- not necessarily show there teeth - or puff those cheeks up ... But, not GLOOMY either it portraits a boring , dull man- confused or depressed.................Rather see a pic of a cartoon or dog.. if i'd had to reconize him w/ gloomness...
