The bait...
Most dating sites I've been a member of have rules for photos.No nudity (including guys bare torsos showing off muscles) one person in the photo, face shot where the person must be clearly recognizable, no children, no display of weapons, etc.
That doesn't stop people from doing what they want and not what's listed in the requirements.
A feature that was on POF allowed members a chance to view random photos uploaded by other members. It was amazing to see what people tried to get away with on their profiles. I believe if you flagged a photo it went on a list for the staff to review.
Tattoos for example. I suppose if you were an inkaholic posting only photos of your tattoos and none of your face is your calling card in life.
Your face obscured by smoke billowing out of your nostrils while you're holding a reefer is a clear sign what you are and your bait for what you are interested in.
Another form of bait is a photo of an older woman with her young, attractive daughter in the foreground. I'm sure she gets lots of hits that way as guys will check out the daughter and then bypass the profile of an older woman... that is unless guys are thinking that by getting to meet mom, there's a chance they can actually get to meet her daughter!
Using the wrong type of bait could catch you the wrong kind of fish.

So how many dating sites are you still an active member on ?
The obvious photo-shopped profile pic is another common bait technique.
I wonder were they trying to making her look better or worse by slimming her thigh?
Being honest as to who I am scare off people.
It is better that they know I will not tolerate their bs.
