i can only hope to be faced with such a dilemma. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence my friend. It's not all it's cracked up to be. Trust that ... 
Reminds me of the meme I saw the other day that said something to the effect, "If the grass is greener on the other side, it's fake".
That may very well have some truth to it! In retrospect I think I'd have to agree lol |

Profiles where the only photos are those taken in a studio shoot which clearly have been airbrushed. Photos which are taken from extreme distances so you can't actually tell what the subject looks like. Profiles where they state they're looking for someone attractive. Yet they've no public picture of their own on display. I could go on lol. I'm beginning to realise that the photos are a tricky topic. For one thing glossy camera shots dont necessarily mean they are air-brushed. My phone takes amazing selfies . I have never photoshopped any. Maybe in a FEW cases , some people's phone cams are really great as well making photos appear airbrushed. Secondly, i dont hold it against people for posting studio shots. Some people are attractive in person but look AWFUL in pics and if they want to present a flattering version of themselves to the world, then what'wrong with getting some help from the studio?  And finally some folks post distant shots of themselves because it is a common practice for pics to be stolen by scammers and attached to a false profile. A stranger actually informed me that he saw me on a social medium that i.never signed up for. Some people are trying to protect themselves from that . I have chosen to take that risk because it increases the probability of achieving my goal here.. But i can understand why some people would decide that the risk is not worthwhile.
I understand the points you're making but a photo taken from a distance can still be used by scammers it however doesn't allow genuine people to see who might be sending a request to chat? If we all adopted that tact then dating sites would become increasingly more unproductive places for finding possible partners. If you've not the time to answer all emails in your inbox. How have you the time to arrange to meet someone who you don't even know what they actually look like? |

If we all adopted that tact then dating sites would become increasingly more unproductive places for finding possible partners. If you've not the time to answer all emails in your inbox. How have you the time to arrange to meet someone who you don't even know what they actually look like? Exactly. Any photo can be used by a scammer. Doesn't matter if it's a selfie up close or a photo of you taken from a distance at some landmark. As long as the photo is posted on the internet, it's available to anyone to save and post elsewhere. Just today a scammer viewed my profile using a Facebook photo of a local female news anchor. I reported it because the city and name didn't match the photo. |

If we all adopted that tact then dating sites would become increasingly more unproductive places for finding possible partners. If you've not the time to answer all emails in your inbox. How have you the time to arrange to meet someone who you don't even know what they actually look like? I post real pics of myself . I also prefer to see real pics of other people lol, but I am trying to look at things through someone else's eyes. I imagine that the hazy looking pics are a lot less likely to be stolen because scammers are inclined to select the photos that command people's attention.On a different note, one of the chatters here actually complained that he met a lady online in person only to discover that the photo he had seen of her was her real pic .... TAKEN 25 YEARS AGO  . Let's try and minimize all this drama. Let us NEVER assume that the picture someone posts online is the gospel truth of their current appearance . Maybe we could depend less on a pro pic, and more heavily on skype after we have emailed the person for some days/weeks .
Without that confirmation, all of us run the risk of falling in love with a 80 year-old toothless man. 
Ps: As to what you said about people not having the time to answer their emails... If someone FREQUENTLY doesn't make time for you online, or in real life, then they have clearly demonstrated a lack of interest .And I can't see any solution other than to move on to someone with whom there is mutual chemistry and commitment.

Run-on sentences, inability to use capital letters, lack of understanding how apostrophes work, periods used as commas, and messages filled with internet shorthand.
Sorry, I spent YEARS studying English, and Literature. You can’t tell me that none of it is important. You’re an adult. Supposedly an intelligent adult. Write like one. We all make typos, but if you keep doing the same thing, it’s not a typo. |

We all make typos, but if you keep doing the same thing, it’s not a typo. Well then you will be really frustrated with ME VioletTigress. I know the rules of grammar, but quite frankly, I am very relaxed online. I actually don't pay enough attention to my punctuation and spelling because I feel like I am among friends, and I always hope I won't be condemned for it.

I used to repeatedly make grammar errors while writing.
I stopped after someone accused me of being a member of the USA's print media.

Hello peggy122
* An example of a good profile would help the guys to understand how to get that perfect profile. It takes some fun and a little work to put a nice smile that women's face. A shirt off profile can be helpful when your doing something other then a blank stare. ** Profile that is good, see below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91tY-Jvw63Q |
