As Suzanne said, it's totally up to you.

I don't think it's flattering; your face, eyes and smile is not visible. I doubt many members would be inspired to view your profile with that as a main picture; however, you can keep it as an extra.

Well most of the people will view your profile depending on how you look like in your primary pic... That's the reality.glasses drinker oops

I definitely agree that attraction is more than about looks; however, when online dating, the "cover" is how you will grab the attention of people right away.

When people meet and date in person, personality can trump appearance much easier. Online dating has an exterior to crack first before we get to the qualities.

I still agree with what I said earlier, and what you said: it’s his profile and he should do what makes him comfortable! :thumbsup:

yea but not at all for me....really


I never go to the pro...well in fact alot of the time....until i start to see the personality emerge within the forums...I dont go for the looks first at all...I guess Im different than most

and usually.....and i mean this...alot of the time they have had no pic up at all...

Like when I first joined....I had no pic up for at least 3-5 months (don't remember) but i had sooo many e-mails once people started to see my personality come through

Then a friend put a pic up and it was over...I sort of regret it now cause sooo many didnt read a word of my pro at all...they assumed everything from that one pic...to me..it was crazy

so really...and i am being really honest...pics dont do it for me!:heart:
