I agree!! But I want to put in my 4 cents and say.. Dont show off your children.. Not that attractive


It's good to show off your children because it weeds out those who find them not that attractive.

There is already a question stating whether you have children or not, no need to include pictures. It's great bait for predators though. frustrated

Really if you don't like a profile or the pics, move on to the next and quit b!chin. It's up to the individual to post whatever pics and wording they please. Quite simple really.

I have some advice for the women (and I'm sure women will have even more advice for me) and the pictures they post in their profiles.
There are a few rules that I think would be helpful, as a guy who has been on many single sites.

1. NO GLAMOUR SHOTS! These pics look phony, men want to see the real you. A picture in jeans and a t-shirt is worth 10 glamour shots. If you have multiple pics, then 1 glamour shot is ok. I mean, you paid for them, right?

2. NO MEN IN YOUR PICTURES! Again, if you show a guy next to you hugging you or whatever, the only thing a guy will think is that you are either not over your ex, or the guy is your current one. As with rule 1, however; as long as you have multiple pics, 1 with a guy in it is ok. (brothers, fathers, children accepted).

3. DO NOT HAVE MORE THAN ONE WOMAN IN THE PICTURE! (unless both come as a pair;) ). When there are 2 or more woman in the picture, a guy doesn't know which one of you is the one in the profile. I just skip those, too confusing for a simple guy.

4. SMILE!!!!! The importance of this cannot be understated. When you smile, you look prettier and you look like you actually want to be on the site. No smile, no interest. And the best smiles are natural. Think of a real funny joke and then snap the picture.

5. USE AT LEAST A 2 MP CAMERA! Those grainy shots are just too hard to tell what the woman (or guy for that matter) looks like. What's the point of posting a picture which is fuzzy or grainy?

and last but not least

6. HAVE AT LEAST 1 PICTURE OF YOURSELF IN YOUR PROFILE! No picture, either you haven't mastered uploading pics to the internet, or you are trying to hide something. Either way, no pic, no second look.

Following the above rules should help increase your chances of getting someone interested in you. You have to put yourself out there. Barring dangerous ex-boyfriends, husbands, being in the witness protection program, or whatever (which are legitimate reasons not to post a picture), post at least one.



to add to it:

I should also add that, yeah, it's ok for a guy to have pics of women (I have been told that women find a guy more attractive if he is with other women, but men find women less attractive if they see women with a guy).

Also, I have found after perusing many singles sites, if you are a woman and have pics with other women, then I tend to say "wow the other one is hot, but the one in the profile isn't". So make sure the other women are not as pretty as you are, that way you will stand out.

But, hellkitten54 is right, if there is no pic, or it isn't good, I'll just move on.

The other commenter is right about photos showing what you like to do. Good one

I also like the comment from LewisW123 about the look of euphoria. Yup, that would probably get a woman more mail. I would more than nudge that:wink:


And smiles are easy to put on, anything that gets you to smile is good, as wux suggested.

And I will get around to practicing what I preach. My photo is pretty good, though I have to get others with better quality.
