Stuck on the picture

I was searching around today on my online dating site and once again shaking my head at some of the pictures that I passed by.

It surprises me that people post pictures of themselves so far in the distance that I can't even tell if it is a man or a woman! How about the pictures taken with that really shitty web cam you own that distorts the face so much that it looks like something from a fun mirror at the circus. The head shot in shadows is also a good one and the side profile, what are you hiding? Have a friend snap up some relaxed photos of you, you do have friends right?

Today I spotted a picture that some fellow took with his mom and dad (I think that's who they were). Although I said earlier to post solo pics this one may be the exception! It may at least appear that he has a good relationship with his family and ergo at least the crappy baggage he will carry doesn't revolve around his growing up years. How's that for a huge leap?

Pictures I do like - full frontal face shots, show me the eyes and the smile. I am drawn by the smile and the eyes will tell me if he smiles alot or if this was a one time thing. There is nothing wrong with a relaxed full body shot as long as I can see the face.

Smile and say cheese!

A picture says a thousand words ...

sometimes the only thing your picture says is your an idiot! Or better yet you are looking to match up with another idiot!! So remember these views are mine and may not be what every girl is thinking when she looks through those profile pictures.

When you took the picture of yourself with the girl what am I suppose to think? Is this your old girlfriend, wife or .... and the picture of you with the young girl - daughter or are you into young girls? How about a stand alone picture so the eye is not distracted by what ifs.

Love the pictures of bodies, the head has been cut off but what a great six pack! I am sure that body could go a few laps around the bedroom. Sorry not responding, I am afraid that your personal image is so important that you have neglected your charm and personality. I do believe that taking care of yourself is important and even says something about your character and I don't have to see a half naked body to get that.

And my favourite pics are from you boys posting pictures of your cars, boats, bikes and other toys what are you asking for or what message are you trying to send. My interpretations start at you are so ugly that the boat is a bribe or compromise. Are you so desperate that you would date a girl who shallowly chose you for your 69 T-bird - by the way it is the same girl that will get custody of your prize possesion when she dumps your sorry ass! Now perhaps you don't really own a boat, fancy car or bike and what the picture means is show me yours and we will see where things go from there!
