What's up with pictures of guys in cars?
Posted: 8/28/2009 4:02:06 PM
There is a strange phenomenon here on POF. I've noticed MANY guys with pictures of themselves that appear to have been taking while they are driving. Why is this? Do guys get bored while driving and decide to take pictures of themselves? Do all these guys have other people in the car taking their picture? Are they trying to show that they have a car? I don't understand. Does anyone have a theory about this?

Women do this too, ALOT. I think it is because of the lighting, and they can get the looking up angle, that is so popular, easily. In my opinion it is not as bad as the many many out of focus poorly lit bathroom mirror shots.

We get them from the Speed cameras,while we're in court trying to get our licenses back. It's a two-fer deal.

You love the bathroom pics and you know it.

Anyway..

Males and females are both guilty of taking pictures of themself while driving. My profile pic is of that because I saw someone else complain about it. It's something to do in between texting.

good lighting ... on a road trip I usually take my camera to take pictures of wild life and people in the car....

IMO the car has better lighting for plucking eye brows too.

Takes too long and hurts to much.. Just go wax them...

OP I think alot of people put up what ever pictures they have whether it is the bathroom mirror, car, pets, kids, buddies, hunting, fishing, the list is endless. I have even seen a couple of passport pictures out here.

It really isn't strange I belong to another site, there is more over there than here. One thing I like about POF's pictures the headshots have to be a clear visible image of the user.

Because women are attracted to the image that it brings, stability perhaps money.

What about the black and white newspaper clipping photograph? Just saw one the other day on a profile lol. It's actually kind of creepy in a way, probably a pic of someone that's been dead since 1896.

Why is this?

It's either take pictures of ourselves or dance and sing to the chagrin of our fellow motorists.


Do guys get bored while driving and decide to take pictures of themselves?

Yes. But only after we use the rear view mirror to put on our makeup on the way to work.


Do all these guys have other people in the car taking their picture?

Depends on the angle. Some guys do it themselves because in the car is the only time they have alone, so they aren't made fun of by friends, family, or coworkers. It's either in the car, or the bathroom stall somewhere. Car is more classy.


Does anyone have a theory about this?

They are actually glamor shots. That's one of the backgrounds available at the photo place in the mall. The only other free one is the moon, and the space suit makes them look fat.

Tell you what.. when you can answer the question about picture posing in the following cases, you'll have your answers to the WHOLE art of HUH in online

1. Why do people take a picture with a cell phone at all?
2. Why do people post pictures of their mundane life on a social site like facebook?
3. why do people text instead of talking
4. why are people on internet sites and TYPING words instead of speaking them
5. Why do women have pictures with their, and OF their dogs?
6. Why on earth do people on the internet put ANY pictures up?
7. Why does ANYONE do anything that they do?
8. Why are you asking a bunch of strangers you have NOTHING in common with to explain a symptom of the times?
9. Do you care, or would you believe the truth about people's motivations for their internet behaviors, even if you saw/heard it first hand?
10. Why on earth did I give you 9 other answers to your question?

Oh.. guys like their cars.. they are as temperamental as a woman, only they can be fixed, AND shared with their guy friends without any complaints... in fact.. their guy friends will HELP them fix it, just so they can drive it. Pink slips SHOULD be marriage licenses. Guys can love MANY cars.. in fact.. park multiple cars alongside each other in the same garage, and the other cars dont complain.

Um why wear a cowboy hat? Who cares?

Every photo will have some sort of prop that will accentuate that person or make them feel better about them self. Whether its a car or mirror, breasts, alcohol, other hot people you might know, complaining about it is more than hypocritical.

Girls are really dumb sometimes.

der, feller likes cars. Okay you go, honey let's do something. He says, how about a drive? You go, oh money's a bit tight this week. He goes, I know, can barely afford juice. You say, let's blow the doors off this Honda. He says, will you have my children?

When you say, I took my car to the mechanic he leaves the room. To go work on his car, which you've been watching him do every second weekend for the last six months...
See, just plain dumb sometimes.

I don't know here's another one for you : Why do women post pics with themselves 90 percent naked and then complain men email them letters containing sexual references or innuendos?

Message 14 has it right. I'd also like to add maybe its an anatomical extension.

People generally tend to incorporate their interests into their profile pics. If the car thing has become a phenomenon, then maybe it goes to show how many people took advantage of Cash for Clunkers, or that more guys have taken an interest in cars (or, that more car lovers have recently become single).

IMO the car has better lighting for plucking eye brows too.


We probably need to be afraid...

I have this vision of you hurtling along at 85 mph; cell phone in one hand, tweezers in the other...

So... Are you steering with your knees?...

Be careful!... You'll pluck your eye out!...
