The same reason you see a LOT of party pictures on profiles.

WHEN is the camera taken out? During boring dull monotonous times of your life? Not likely.

At barbeques with friends, out on the lake, at the beach, at the ball game, on vacation... These are all times you're taking pictures of but these are also all times you're wearing SUNglasses.

The trucks/cars/motorcycles deal... well it's just a guy thing. We're proud of our toys and have pictures taken with them to show 'em off. Same with hunting or sports pictures.

Yes, it's a good thing to remember to post at least SOME pics without sunglasses and with a clear view of your smiling face - but that goes for men and women.

Now the shirtless pics self-shot in the bathroom mirror - that's just egotistical juvenile nonsense. Stay away from that meathead. There's all kinds of issues going on in that tiny mind.




...and another post that will get me pleasant emails, I'm on a roll today...

Since were on the subject of pictures, does it bother anyone else when someone posts only 1 pic,and theres 3 or 4 people and they dont say which one they are?? maybe its just me

I have neither pic with vehicle nor pic with sunglasses

Aaronzdad, have you ever looked at your shirt with 3d glasses on? its pretty cool.

I've been complaining about that for months! I just pass those by -- don't want to play "guess the person."

You know what the rule is there doncha Medic??

They are the UGLY one of the three.

Yeah lex,i agree. Im always worried that someone might get pissed when i ask which one they are. Say something like "does that really matter?" well sorry but it does matter,very much so!!

Actually that's not a shirt at all. It's a TATTOO!

And yet another thing to worry about

You're welcome...

Ronnie, when I'm going through Mutual Matches, about one out of four has the "multiple people" pics. About 10% of those actually say which person is posting the profile!

That, and the empty, vapid, cliche-ridden profiles ("I don't know what to write here" or "I'm laid back and like to have fun" or "Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask") are major turnoffs. If she can't write three semi-intelligent sentences about herself, I can't muster up any incentive to do anything but click NO.

hey Slowcars was that YOU who said that in the "start a rumor" thread??

Damn that's FUNNY! !

Yep, still waiting for you to put your "Al Borlund" pic back up

Hey Lex? I thought you'd found your special someone already? Or were you talking about doing the mutual matches before that? Or do I have you confused with someone else??


Slowcars I took that off that same day. It's at least fifteen years old and I hate when people post archive pictures...


THERE is another issue - I'm not interested in what you looked like at your High School Prom! Sheesh...

Yeah, Gem and I are decidedly back together, and that's the best thing that could have happened.

I was referring to my history with the Mutual Match going back to whenever they started it. I still look at the new ones though. They're great for material when I need an example to show how lame the profiles are. Like "I'm a fun person who likes to have fun" actually came from MM.

Yeah, I've played the online dating game a lot over the years and I've seen some doozies.

I've thought about collecting them all in one huge word file then mashing 'em together into one glorious profile.

But no one would believe it.

Sun's out wear glasses

does anyone eltes want to answer this for me today?

I know what you mean. Like when ladies take pictures with a bunch of makeup, hair weave, cats,dogs, or a picture from 3 years ago.

Yea I will answer you!! I am looking for someone who shares common interests that I do that is why the car thing. I want to share my life with someone who has common interests. I am looking for a soulmate...I want to connect on many different levels. The car thing is just a start. Is that so hard to understand????????????????? Any other questions just ask.
