| Putting attractive women in your pics - what's the problem? Posted: 7/15/2007 10:28:07 AM | Ok, I want to spice up my pics by putting some group shots in there, which might also include some attractive girls in it. But I read somewhere that putting them in your profile is a no-no. What gives?
My feeling is that it shows you're able to attract the hotties, but what do I know?  | |

| Putting attractive women in your pics - what's the problem? Posted: 7/15/2007 10:53:27 AM | Most people want to make up their own minds as to whether you are a stud or not. Seeing you with a line of beauties isn't going to make them think otherwise.
If they aren't attracted to you in the first place, it's not going to make a world of difference, they'll assume the women are friends, sisters, or good ole mom..
Just be yourself, no need to advertize you're a chick magnet with pictures of proof...and it may make you appear as if you're a player (what the hell ever those really are) if your seen with a number of women.. | |

| Putting attractive women in your pics - what's the problem? Posted: 7/15/2007 11:23:25 AM | I agree with CS and know several people who feel that when members surround themselves with the opposite sex hanging all over them that they're trying to give off the impression that "they think" they're really cool by showing everyone they're capable of picking up all those so called "hotties!" If that's the case however, why are they alone and searching? lol
Also, you may be hurting yourself in the long run if someone who was thinking of writing to you feels intimidated by those "hotties" because they don't feel they measure up to what you're looking for!! They may not think they have a shot with you and therefore won't take the chance of writing and being turned down.
Just some thoughts and what I've heard.

| Putting attractive women in your pics - what's the problem? Posted: 7/15/2007 11:26:40 AM | I don't know about everyone..... but for me, I'd be like "they already have or can get hot girls, why would they write to me?" kind of thing....
I also tell my guy friends not to post pictures with me there... they will think I'm an ex girlfriend, or someone they are still dating! | |

| Putting attractive women in your pics - what's the problem? Posted: 7/15/2007 12:00:32 PM | | Well I think if you're trying to find a girlfriend it's wise not to have photos of you and attractive woman on your profile. Now if it's an ex girlfriend I can see, because some people only have so many pictures. But if it's just pictures of you and random girls then I'd be turned off. | |

| Putting attractive women in your pics - what's the problem? Posted: 7/15/2007 1:47:09 PM | Bottom line:
It looks like you are trying to hard to portray youself as some kind of player, ladies man, panty slayer, etc. It comes off as pathetic.
We're not interested in how many friends you have or how easy it is to score women. We will either assume you are a NSA kind of guy or a dork who is trying really hard to not look like a dork. Either way, it's bad for you if you are looking for more than just sex.
Women, like men, look at your photos as a representation of you. Be careful of what information you send. | |

| Putting attractive women in your pics - what's the problem? Posted: 7/15/2007 2:05:02 PM | It's not the pictures of other women that is an issue with me... It's the privacy issue.
I am not sure that I would like the idea of a man putting a picture of me with other friends in his profile... Not that it will happen... Just the fact that I would not like that at all... | |

Well if that's the case WHY aren't you with ONE of those hotties? I agree with Nikky101, if you are doing so well meeting women why are you on here? At least an explanation of who these people are might be nice. even if it's a lie...... "Uhh...these are my sisters friends....my sister has really hot friends." I find it about as off-putting as guys who are holding a baby but it says they don't have kids.......well ...then whose kid is that? Do you just randomly take pictures of yourself holding anonymous children ? or is it there a guest appearance on Maury Povich and a DNA test in your future? It's fine to put up pics with the hotties,(and the babies) just EXPLAIN who they are. No one wants to waste time talking to you just to become a "backup plan". | |

| Putting attractive women in your pics - what's the problem? Posted: 7/15/2007 3:01:36 PM | I post a picture in my profile of the most beautiful girl in the world. I've been turned down becuase of her, and others have spent points through email on here just to send a gift to her. I've been told that I should remove her from my profile, and others have said that she is precious. She's my pride and joy and it does not matter what others think. I will not remove her from my profile..
By the way she's 6 years old and a daddy's girl..  | |

| Putting attractive women in your pics - what's the problem? Posted: 7/15/2007 3:12:50 PM | | To me most of all it shows a lack of confidence. Like you don't think you are good enough by yourself. That you need pictures like that to prove you are worthy. But just because you can get something doesn't mean you have to show it off. You should be able to attract a girl with your 'charms' (what is, if you have any) and confidence NOT some pic that is screaming "LOOK I'M WITH HOT CHICKS! I'M COOL I SWEAR! NO REALLY I AM!!" If anything a girl will look at those pics and think 'What a player' or 'Geesh what is he trying to prove?' not 'Wow what a great guy. I'll message him!' But then again you don't have intimate encounter blocked on your mail settings, so that's really saying a lot there. But well at least I can give you props for being honest. Lots of guys (especially around your age) only pretend they aren't just interested in getting laid. | |

| Putting attractive women in your pics - what's the problem? Posted: 7/15/2007 6:14:03 PM | This has been asked before. Here are my personal thoughts on guys posting photos of themselves with other women. 1. it's an ex and why do they need to show her, it's a current but when asked they say a cousin or sister 2. They are paranoid that online dating makes them look bad so they put up photos of themselves with hotties to say, "i'm trying online dating even though i can get all these hotties and dont really need to because online dating is lame...and well i'm not lame'' 3. They are players. One guy had photos like this and when i IMed him, he always asked who i was and where i was, because he couldn't keep track of all the women he was talking to. 4. they're trying to tap into the ''women as competitors'' theory that we want what others have...this may work for some immature women, but most of us seriously looking gals, want to be with a one woman man. | |

| Putting attractive women in your pics - what's the problem? Posted: 7/16/2007 3:52:08 AM | | You are right! Putting yourself beside an attractive woman/women shows you hav sex appeal and charm and will attract 'fleeting' woman (temporarily). That is if they are stupid enough to believe mere fotos, and if they do, what is your opinion of them anyway?. They like the appeal of the playboy and want some for themself. Usually this will be young er 18-24 , sexi girls who want to measure up to the ones in the foto. basic female rivalry/jealousy/****iness..... more than ur appeal I am afraid! "if he is good enough for those hot girls...he's good enough for me." They may think it is your brilliant sexual performance or your cash!!!!! what happens if you actually fail in both departments when u do get the girl? For the more mature amongst us, we will not be swayed by these propaganda photos to lure us into false validation . looking for husband potential we will not go for the kind of man anyway, who can only validate his own self-worth by being surrounded by superficial/beautiful girls. sorry! | |
