On unsuccessful pics.

Fun pics are fine. Show sides of your personality.

But for face shots or "this is what I look like" photos, here are a few things to think about.

Loose the hats. Unless it is part of a costume.

Guys, long hair is great, but please brush it before taking a photo. And get the ends trimmed so it doesn't look scraggly.

Facial hair. Keep it nice looking. If you have a long beard, trim and shape it. If short, shaping is still good. Mustaches should suit your face. Not be an inch and a half longer than your mouth on each side unless you are actually cultivating handlebars for some reason.

You have a nice beard or nice mustache, get rid of the scruffy shadow around the rest of the face. 5 o'clock shadow only really works on people with clean shaven faces and then not on everyone.

Don't take your profile pics in t-shirts with stains and REALLY don't use a mirror shot. I good photo where you hold the camera out and do a self photo is better than a mirror shot.

AND make sure the pictures are current.. no more than a year old! We DO change with time!

What a person says (either by posting, emails, or in the profile) is way more important... Is it not.

We DO change over time so if your basing choices on a picture...

(and if I brush my hair too much it looks like I put my finger in a light socket)

very bad for image.

And please please PLEASE don't put up a picture of you in a dress if you're a dude! That isn't likely to get you any dates with women!

Don't forget to PhotoShop out the Case Number and the height marks on the wall behind you.

Just sayin'

I like hats.

the ones with the guy with no shirts with shorts open don't appeal to me

But are they real?

I go about without a shirt any time the weather permits.

Put up whatever ya want!
What's not appealing to one women might really turn another on
But do keep it current. Show who you are!!
Same with women!!

its the open shorts that i find amusing

don't post pics that were taken at a mall...oh wait,nevermind. be seeing you

If the photos show what a person really looks like, that's what they should use. Whether they're wearing a hat, or have a scruffy beard or anything else that you may not like. You want to see what the person really looks like, right? Not just someone who makes themselves pretty for pictures only.

Meh. A couple of mine are more than a year old...but as I have said before...if you can actually pick out which ones are older and which ones are current, I'll gladly remove the old ones.
No one has managed to figure out which are which yet.

I have been told that I look younger than I am, and my face hasn't changed very much in recent years. Might have a wrinkle or two that I didn't have before...but for the most part, I look the same.

I gotta disagree on this one. If I see a picture of a woman in a hat, and she can pull off the look...well...

awwwwwwwwww crap

and quit with the stupid cat pictures. freaks.

No clown pictures

and no pirate pictures

Demanding. Aren't we. I shave if I want to, I brush my hair if I want to. Do this, don't so that...hows that working out for you?

Doesn't sound like random thoughts to me.
