I never take a good pic. Always wonder what others think.

the only photo i like is the one where you can't see the camera in the picture.

it isn't you, your photos are quite nice; it's just i always hated the take-your-picture-in-a-mirror shots.

why don't you ask someone to take your picture for you?

I agree. the camera is tacky...but even worse is your location...OMG!! chics see all the clutter behind you and they'll think your a pack rat! location, location, Location...

I had a bunch of pictures but I phone went crazy. I only was with one female that just wanted to stay home and drink all the time. I tried to help but unless you want to stop your not. I am gettin out and talking to people. A year of confinment messed me up. My fault I know but when you love and care about someone its hard to say Im gone and YOU do it now.Doing and feeling way better. so I dont know anyone thus the ****ty self photo.

i agree with your assumption

You will definately want something better than a self done phone pic for yourself. I don;t think they are doing you justice.

So true and thanks for the help. I was x military and I lived out of a bag most of the time and I do tend to stil do that . l will be like that for 2 weeks then get freakin anal about cleaning My house is clean. but my bathroom and bedroom need to get unclutered. That was on this weeks to do list anyway. Im just trying this com stuff and any info is apericated.

ok, I'm gonna be honest here, so If I come off harsh, sorry.
First, the camera in the pictures is VERY tacky. Try posting at least one picture of you dressed nice, and try to post more pictures of you doing things.
Next, your profile description came across as really depressing. things like "I've been through hell", and "terrible things I've seen", not good feelings to start building attraction with. Try more happy feelings. Leave that stuff for after you have known someone for a while.
Also, "a special lady would be nice" ?? You're putting alot of pressure on someone, don't you think. Sounds pretty desperate. Try just looking for female friends to hang out with. I know, you don't want to be put in the friend zone, I get it. But looking for something serious off the bat is really putting alot of pressure on the first phone call, the first meet invitation, and especially the first date. It's my experience that women don't like so much PRESSURE. But, If you meet someone to be just friends and hang out, don't wait TO LONG to tell her your attracted to her. If you make her feel good, and don't come across as desperate, you won't get put in the friends zone. Trust me.
Also, I'd try keeping the description a little more breif. If you lay your whole life story out there in your description, then you will not leave much for her to find out in conversation.
I'd try a rework of the whole profile.

I totally agree with your advise. That does sound stupid in fact Im gonna change the whole damn thing. I was in a different mind frame. MY house burnt down so no nice clothes. I can and wiil go get some cheap. Im a disable combat vet. All I know really is that... but you are so off on me laying everything out. The last 5 years. lets be real the last 20 years have been crap. Gulf war ilness, thyroid cancer. 8 broken bones and a fractured skull.I was willing to die and the Military gives me shots no approved by FDA. Testified before Wash Subcomitte on topic and that was fun. Bring watched, phone tapped. Thats just starting. he last 5 years I burried my best friend. The last 2 grandparents I had, my wife and my Dad. I do appericate the advise. Maybe at a little nicer level. Yes have many issues but for what I have seen and been through I look pretty good. My question was about my pic. I know your trying to help but that defense mode kicks in then its out and I become a ass. I am getting way better .

all are within like a year old. all me.Im in a lot better shape also. Thank you though... That really was my question. I really dont know if I looked ok.

Yeah, I just want to say I appreciate what you've done for this country. Thank you.
I'm just saying, keep the images of death and destruction for a later time. Try to stay upbeat, fun, and positive. Even if you have to FAKE IT.
"I'm a former combat soldier" is sufficient.
If your having a problem with your profile, I really don't think the pictures are the problem. Lots of people have cheesy pictures on the're profile.

do you still have teeth? lol cause i dont see them...... in other words a smile would of been nice...

Yes all vital parts.... inculding teeth, arms, fingers and toes and legs are accounted for. a few scars but they are sexy.

You pictures are fine. However, you might want to ask a friend to take a few pictures of you. Welcome to the site!

yea ridin your self pic is nice also... To insecure to ask for advise? mine just stupid pics! Yours?

sir I fake it all the time and try so damn hard if you only knew. Im getting there though. thank you also for doing whatever you did in military. Seem like a guy with his **** together. Good luck in life.

trust me some women do need to know if there are teeth yes that would include me seriously though a smile would be grand!

gonna post new pics tommorow! thank You all! (Not you rydin) I am getting a better outlook and it was good to talk and get a little off my chest. You all seem truely hepful. I really dont smile much but I will smile for a pic. Forgive the missing letters and the words not complete. I get so mad but I can control it way better. Thank you all. Jim
