Selfies
There was a good definition of age on Twitter the other day. Calculate your age by the number of selfies you take, divided by the number you instantly delete, multiplied by the number you eventually end up letting people see.It may work better for men. I delete 95% immediately with squawks of horror. The camera does not love me.
Having said that, I have put up current photos. No Goofy hat, no pink gauze swirling. Wotcher think? *does a twirl*
As for the singles hunt on the other websites, I have so many potential dates lined up in Glasgow (only 2 in Edinburgh) that I am flirting with the idea of demanding photos of them smiling (Scottish teeth are intermittent) and / or psychiatric profiles. I like zany slightly unstable people with kind hearts. There's a test for that, I'm sure.
Or, hang ON a moment, insist they buy, read and review one of my books first. (Too soon?)

I'm not photogenic at all but my daughter loves taking pictures and pesters me like paparazzi. Whenever we are at a family gathering she would take pictures of me without me knowing and forward them to me at a later stage. Surprisingly most of those are nice and I don't have the urge to delete them instantly
Love your new pic
Ohhhh I could have written this blog with my own fair hands... Think you have been in my brain nicking my thoughts
Yes squawks of shock and horror the camera lies just like my mirror!!!
I have banned them all now.
In my mind
Hope you do well with your Scottish 'suitors!' Sound very interesting
Now do it again and this time get your arm out of the way. :)
Now, using muscle memory try it without any mirror.
Eventually you become good enough so you can do it while walking down the street as I do.
By selfie count I am pushing 300 years old.
Weesally, you're probably wise. The camera is not kind when it is only armslength!
Wallops,
See you later. I got to go check out his books. He's looking at mine.
(Why, why, why am I not 2 inches shorter?
BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SO IN LOVE OF THERE OWN PHOTO'S OR THERE KIDS WHO BLOK ALMOST MY FULL TIME LINE WITH DAYLY MORE THAN 50 PHOTO'S ,THE ONLY THING I COULD DO TO STOP IT ,IS TO UN FRIEND THEM .
Has other romances fizzled out now then?
Still, a writer could be very interesting... The stories you could tell each other
The days will fly by while having a coffee or two
By the way I think you are looking VERY good in your profile pic... Miss Lee!!!
Yup meeting at an art gallery coffee shop. Hopefully neither of us will be urged to murder the other (in the interests of research) in such civilized surroundings. Hope, anyway.
He's only 45. Good grief. Oh well, it's not exactly a date.
Should I take the dog? She is SUCH a pain in the car - nah. Better go get some beauty sleep ...

For every pic I decide to retain, at least 30 would've been deleted!
This is what I'd normally do. In my own home, I'd know where are the best spots to have my pics taken. It's imperative to know that coz lighting makes all the difference!
Take at least 3-7 shots of each pose. Yes, you'd end up with loads of pics should you decide to pose more
Go through the end product carefully. Eliminate right away those terrible ones. Go through them again. This time, choose only the ones that you think it's good. At the end of it all, you might end up with just 2 or 3 pics and that's a norm
I cannot recall ever taking a selfie. I seldom bother with photographs. I posses very few and it is mostly of when I was a child. If somebody quickly wants to bore me to death, they only have to take out a photo album. I will soon remember about something very urgent I still had to do.
On the dating thing, did you ever look into
It gives you the possibility of meeting people in person doing things you enjoy, let it be socialising, walking etc.
Have fun going on dates and snogging some heads off!
I only take selfies because the world and his mother wants photos on anything and everything and the dog can't handle the camera. No-one but me to take them.
As good a way of spending a sunny afternoon in Edinburgh as could be expected. Is it really Monday tomorrow? Already?
SO!!!! Was he nice? Did you like him? Are you meeting him again? Etc etc etc!! Spill the beans and let us know SOMETHING!!!!
But glad you lived to tell the tale... (Maybe cross tell the tale out)
But still alive..
kn, have you seen what has happened to poor Monday!?!?!?
No, not seeing him again. Back to the drawing board!
