They're trying to tell you what great providers they are...you know "Me Tarzan, You Jane". That type of thing. It's in their genes...it's almost like a ritual...a kind of wedding dance. "Look at me!!! I'm a loser and I can't spell but I can put dinner on the table for you and our 12 youngins!!!" :tongue:


They might be on to something, then, because it's become VERY clear that they DON'T want a guy who can spell....!

Yeah, see...I've often wondered about convenience stores with signs that say "BAIT BEER". What is it they're selling? What is this "Baitbeer" they speak of?" Does it work? Are men as easily lured with beer as women are with fish pictures?

Oh, sure, there are places in Indiana where they have hand-written signs that says WERMS 4 SAEL out front.

I don't know, I never got the whole fishing thing. Here's a guy who spent $12,000 on a boat and 14 poles and some sort of sonar-probe GPS device that tells him where every fish is, within a 20-mile radius. Then he catches a 9-inch whatever, and holds it up in front of a camera like he's cured cancer or something.

That's great, Uncle Jake, you have outsmarted a fish! Way to go! Never mind that you needed enough equipment to build Fort Knox II, the point is you did it!

Sorry, the whole concept just eludes me.

As does the appeal of beer. One reason I don't drink. There are many others.

So your raying men aren't supposed to be providers and women aaren't supposed to stay home bare foot and pregnant?
Why didn't I get that memonoway
So that's where I've been going wrong with this whole dating thing.

What is it that makes men think all it takes for a woman to want to date them is a picture of them holding a fish?

Has anyone noticed how many of these pics are floating around?

Who told them this was a great gimmick?

If you're a guy with a fish picture in your profile, come out of the woodwork and tell us what you know!

Does anyone have any ideas on this, because I've been seeing an increase in fish pictures lately and it's really making me wonder...


I asked the same thing just the other day. laugh

I think it's similar to the "bathroom pic". WHY do we want to see a guy in the bathroom? We avoid the bathroom like the plague when a guy enters it, why would we want to see him standing in it? Is there some unspoken male commentary? "And....this is my bathroom. You know what goes on in here. Sexy, no?" Ummm....NO! But they all felt the need to jump on the bandwagon. Men. frustrated


I think it's a bit more similar to the car pics. I'm guessing both are trying to get attention, but both make me move on to the next person. :tongue:

Could it be because cars, fishing rods, motorcycles, power tools and the like are extensions of that certain part of the male anatomy???? Hmmm....

the only ones that really creep me out are the ones of a guy holding an infant. first of all, if that's you're kid, you have no business trolling a dating site, you should be offline helping it's mom to take care of it. second of all, i avoid guys with kids, so when i see the "new daddy shot" yeah i get off that page really fast.

maybe they think the fish pic is similar to the deer pic; "me got big game- me big man." heck, i don't know, LOLlaugh


I actually kind of appreciate the pics where she's holding a kid or a beer bottle, or both, or the kid is holding the beer bottle, or the beer bottle is holding the kid, or whatever. It's shorthand for "I can skip this one."

Now if it was a pic of a girl holding an ostrich or a pangolin or a stegosaurus, that might make me stop and look.

Could be that's the same reason for women, why they keep buying bigger and bigger purses....

That's like seeing buildings with "PIZZA BOWLING" in neon letters on top of them.

I remember driving through Chicago a couple years ago and seeing a huge restaurant with DINNING ROOM written on the window.

Being a fisherman myself, my guess would be that it's an enjoyable sport, as well as a relaxing activity. It's quiet, it's peaceful, it's a great form of comaraderie. It's best enjoyed during the warm months of the year, and if you've ever gone fishing, anyone can tell you that it's a great feeling putting up a fight taking a nice-sized fish out of the lake, and a proud moment to show the worthy adversary.

:banana: :banana: pitchfork no no no. u r all wrong all of u...
the guy wants to know if you will cook it, and so he is showing u how big it is. it has nothing to do with how big he is...
he is showing u his trophy to find out if u can cook. pure and simple.
now how many agree with that theory?:banana:
