PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE: Dating Profile Do's and Don'ts

1:27 PM
In the process of making it a lil easier for my soulmate to find me, I have placed my profile on a couple of dating sites within the last 9 years, on and off, since I've been single, and I have started seeing repetition of some really funny profile pictures.
 I just want to start out by saying that when I see a guy put up pictures of the way he used to look...YEARS ago...I realize there must not be anything much better to see now.  Like: "Look at this!  This was when I was at my best!!  And, that is about as good as it's gonna get with me."
Nudity, and a messy room behind you really doesn't come off as flattering as you might think... we are looking for every indication in the picture of the kind of person you are.  Now we know how easy it is to get your clothes off you, (and especially when sending "dick pics," we get the idea that your stuff is for show for any woman to see), and we have the idea that if we "SCORE" with you...we might just be able to be picking up those clothes left around you...or the messy bathroom!
 
Also, I had NO IDEA there were so many men out there walking around in SUPERMAN shirts!!  But, clearly I have been missing out, because I probably see at least 1 man a week online wearing a big S on his shirt...I don't know...it just always makes me laugh.  Good looking guy below, but based on the fact he is a middle age man wearing a superman shirt, I must thwart the desire to swipe right.
Then there is the guy who brings it back to days of the caveman and makes a muscle to show the girls how strong he is...I can honestly say that this has never made me think a man was more handsome.  But it's like I always think when I see the begger on the street...or the catcalls and whistles from the guys on the street, it must work to reach their end goal, because otherwise, they would not continue to do it!
However, I can honestly say, my LEAST favorite pose is the one with the guy's tongue out:
" Like here I am...looking as smart as I can look...FOR YOU!!!"
(Unintentionally, this first guy is the same guy as in the muscle pic above...I SCORED!!)
Then there are the landscaping pics or inanimate objects, bad lighting or ANIMALS, children in the pictures OR I can't see your face!!  ALL I want to see is YOU, so I can decide if I want to learn MORE ABOUT YOU...I don't care how cute your kids are...I wonder why you are putting them online for any (strange) women to see...OR the beautiful sunset you saw last night...or 2 years ago!!!
All of these will result in an immediate left swipe from me.  Whether it is a blank profile pic (what does that tell you??  BLANK??) I think there is NOTHING going on here or a guy covering his face (because he may be married?).

For me, I think your profile picture should be your BEST look.  To me, a clean, manicured man in a suit and a pocket square in the first picture will almost always get a right swipe to then advance to text conversation and actually READING the profile info to see if it sounds like we have ANYTHING in common or that I could be attracted!!

I'm not saying I'm right, but just saying this is what works for me, and hence my DATES.😃

  2. Yes, it's cool, it seems to me that such a photo can only be shared by a very self-confident person)
    It's also so important for the interlocutor to know what color the bathroom tile is, or the semi-dark colors of the mysterious living room. You know, funny and at the same time not very funny it`s.
    How can a person imagine "that's all" real me, in all my splendor? Ah?) For this, there are some generally accepted chat rules source. In a chat room where I communicate high-quality photos, this is a self-evident thing, not to mention the fact that often on avatars I see incredible photos of travelers. People whose photos are fascinated at first sight.
    There's something in it, right?

  7. When you join a free relationship company, expect to have a huge amount of spam in your mail inbox. Why? How else will the owner of the free site earn money? He or she must earn money somehow if they are not planning to charge. Their solution is to spam your mailbox with offers that need money. Your current email address can also be, usually, bought to third-parties; another way they produce money. http://www.orangeescorts.com/
