Ok... so we are not all photogenic... that's a given.. but most of us do make the effort to route out a good photo.. or at least one that doesn't make us look miserable... baffles me kinda... the photos that people put up... looks and attractiveness are in the eye of the beholder, but a photo where someone looks quite clearly miserable or like a convict... I do wonder

Any views on this??

I only ten minutes and back to the pen, no time to share my opinion, can we just get through the conjugal ...

You're so right....I made sure I took a double dose of Prozac before taking my pics....
..how do you like my smile.....??....but I tell you I was so relaxed, I would've fallen over without the staples.....

... Hello my sweets.... ...

True.

Its like minimum to put up a nice picture .. say pleasant ( in my view ) .. some look photogenic some dont .. its not really a big issue as it just indicates whether u have the positive vibes or not .. the major part begins later when u get talking and getting to know each other.

But a good picture or none .. that would be my option.

helluu aries ..

Is it possible for what you wrote to be something about the first impression you wanne give on others ?

I have to take about 199 pics to get one and they still look horrid,,just like in real life. oh well,,lol I guess that's just the way.

do u mean like ur last photo in ur profile page?

Hiya honey

What prompted me to put this up was a flower I got from someone who clearly looked like a depressed convict on death row.. good grief!!!... with camera photos and everything now it shouldn't be too hard to muster up a smile and then click... baffling...

I just got a stoopid email there as well from this guy.. blowing on about me 'in his dreams.... etc you can imagine the rest... good grief!!! what scares me is some girls must actually fall for this insincere tripe... ...

Anyway.. must have got out of the wrong side of the bed ...

for those that goes for looks it is a clear hint to not contact him

if she does not go for looks she might consider that the shot is not a good one and will want to now him better

Ur photo is lovely it shows that you are a nice person and not some miserable and/or scary person...



I hope people don't take this the wrong way... but putting up a photo is like an opportunity to 'market' urself in a way and portray as best u can (using limited means) something about the person that you are.. if you look miserable in a photo, it may just give the impression that you are miserable in real life.. just sayin..

Not if the person looks miserable and/or scary... nothing to do with looks.. I have never fallin for the typical 'good looking' type.. it has always been personality first for me...

Plus am not even looking here so doesn't matter either way.. just an observation is all..

... touche!!!

hmmmm ,,maybe it's just me,,, I just hear many times that I look scary or something,,like I am unaproachable or something,,I do try to keep my pictures current though,,especially as I am ussually changing it in the salon when I get bored or want a change,,,lol,,funny how everyone has a idea of what they look like and then what others see,,,,
I hope you quit getting those weird emails though!!
;-}

<------- After I took this pic, I used photoshop to soften it up a bit so everybody wouldn't see all my lines & wrinkles.

then might be because some are not aloud to post their best pictures

haha I was just off taking some new pics.. then came back to this

But yeah.. it does surprise me..

Some pics.. I'm sure in RL the people would look sooo much better.. but choose to put up a pic of them as you say.. looking like crims..

Ur photos are beautiful... u look really gentle and sincere and just.. well.. like a really nice person... if u posted one where u were scowling though we might get the wrong impression...



Hiya Scottish
