| | Other people in your picturesPage 1 of 1 | What if a guy that checks out your profile is attracted to another female that is in your pictures with you?
Would you get offended if a guy was more interested in one of your friends and asked about her? What if the other person is a daughter of yours?
By the way, I have never done that. I'm just curious as to how you would react. | |

Posted: 7/18/2012 12:29:06 PM | I've done that several times and it always works out quite well, they appreciate the honesty and are more than happy to help introduce me to their friend. I don't suggest that you meet a girl and then try to use her to meet the friend without being upfront and honest though.
And if you believe the above, I have several bridges up for sale at a very great price. | |

Posted: 7/18/2012 1:23:44 PM | | It would depend on whether or not the person in my pic was single or looking. I always have permission to have anyone in my profile, and while Im asking I also ask if they want to hear about any comments on thier photo, and just take it from there. If they indicate they are not looking and dont want to hear if anyone liked thier photo, I just tell the person who emailed me that they would appreciate the compliment, but that they are not looking. | |

Posted: 7/18/2012 1:46:05 PM | | Turn it around OP. How would you feel if an attractive woman emailed you and wanted to date your buddy or son in the picture? Would you happily play matchmaker for them or be a bit irked that you have to deal with such nonsense? I think your answers are going to vary. If my friend is single and open to meeting a POF guy, maybe I'd ask you for your number and pass it on to her, once she'd seen your picture. But realistically, 10 times out of 10, I'd just delete the message and consider it a waste of my time. | |

Could be a fun double date.
It's so "When Harry Met Sally." | |

Posted: 7/18/2012 2:42:15 PM | If she's not on pof, I'd tell them that I'll let her know that you're interested and if she wants, she can get a hold of you.
Daughter or friend wouldn't make a differences except my daughter is not looking, but some of my friends are on pof so I'd probably point you to her profile just to be helpful. Why not? | |

Given your current pics, beastiality is a woman's only option. So unfair of you. | |

Posted: 7/18/2012 8:54:49 PM | | In my experience on here, 9/10 the other woman in the picture is more attractive than the woman the profile belongs to. Im actually surprised this hasn't been asked more often on here. | |

Posted: 7/18/2012 9:03:44 PM | | I'd probably be pretty annoyed - but I wouldn't put a pic of other people up to begin with. | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 6:32:21 AM | YES—this is a great topic.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve encountered profiles where either a) it is completely ambiguous as to which person in the array of photos actually owns the profile because none of them show just a single person; or b) the profile owner explicitly identifies herself in multi-person pictures (e.g. “I’m the one on the right”, etc.) but I’m naturally inclined to look more at the tag-along(s).
This is the type of situation where all I can do is sit back and say “what the hell were you thinking when you picked these photos? You can’t tell me that it has never occurred to you that your friend is thinner, has whiter teeth, a better complexion, and much better style?” Things are emphasized by comparison. If you’re middle-of-the-run in looks you have enough of an uphill battle as is in online dating; why post pictures of yourself standing next to a 9?
Women love to post pictures of themselves in bridesmaid gowns. Makes sense, because that’s generally a beautiful look. But for crying out loud, don’t be standing next to the bride! I know, the logic is that the bride is obviously taken (duh), but to apply that logic is to miss the point entirely: chances are, she is outshining you, and that’s bad. This is not complicated.
In my opinion, I think posting pictures of other people is dodgy in any case—even if they say they don’t care. It just bugs me that things are so easily and indiscriminately thrown up onto the internet these days.
For the record, I would never in a million years contact a woman and ask about her friend. I may think she’s a bit of a fool for the pictures she chose, but I don’t want to make her feel like crap (I know it wouldn’t make me feel very good). | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 7:53:41 AM | | That would be extremely offensive and in bad taste, especially if it was someone's daughter. A man would have to be very ignorant to think it's acceptable to approach a woman on a dating site and say, in other words, "hey, listen, you are not attractive enough for me, but could you hook me with up with your friend/daughter?" I doubt any woman with a shred of dignity would even respond to such an inappropriate request. | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 9:17:33 AM | | Hold up curves, that scenario you mentioned might have a viable reason for it. Say a 19 year old messaged you asking about your daughter that is in your photo, obviously you and him might not have much in common but he could be a perfect match for her. Would that offend you? Or would you see it as sweet that he messaged you to see if he could date your daughter? | |

Very funny it always has worked for me! Borrow her lambo, ferrari, Corvette... works like a charm... ROTFL

You damm right..if you don't ask you don't get... has worked for me all the times... but I always wonder why I end up in the hospital with 2 black eyes!
The nurse told me that the 1st black eye was for having asked her friend out, and the 2nd black eye, was for borrowing her Lambo, to drive around town.... and leave a few stain on the seats... Next time I will use seat covers! Just like any great fighter, no pain no GAIN ;-)

Oh I also make sure I bring a rifle and tell her that we are going hunting to Disney's castle, and hunt the Beast, from the Beauty anddah beast!
You can’t tell me that it has never occurred to you that your friend is thinner, has whiter teeth, a better complexion, and much better style?”
it's called the pigmatic theory: Cute girl goes out with fat ugly chick. Cute girl needs a friend to go out with that will not compete the guys away from her. Fugly chick needs a friend to go out with as no-one else wants to go out with her... neither men!

I, too, would tell him to piss off. | |
