why do you guys take photos of yourselves wearing SUN GLASSES
please take then off
if you post a photo to show us ladies what you look like
how are we supposed to see YOU if you are wearing your sunglasses
and also if you BLURRED or so FAR AWAY from the camera
better photos means a better chance of attraction

Some men aren't so great at taking selfies as we women.

...but I do agree main profile pic should be without sunglasses so we get a more accurate idea of what they look like.

...and ideally, a recent pic or two would help also.

yes you are right a recent photo would be good too

and men may not take a good photo of themselves

but surely you have a mate who can take a few for you

Not all of us like to broadcast(even to friends) that we are wanting a pic taken for an online dating site.

I can only assume that is why.

I prefer to take my own pics for the site.

I think in some cases it is deliberate (especially if the photos are +10 years old). roll eyes

Photos are a tool to give people some idea about your looks, if you don't like it, just move on. dunno

Thank you goodgirl.

That is a lovely thing to say.

There are some nice people on this site. If you get to know someone by messaging them, and their pic is not clear or they have sunglasses on, and they seem keen, I'm sure they won't mind taking another pic for you.

Perseverance is the key.

All the very best...hug

Hi KNenagh


I understand what you say if you don't like the photo move on
but a bad photo does not mean a bad person


so lets educate everyone to have better photos
after all there are some very nice people out there

.. .. I took my pic on my mobile 2 weeks ago,,, after my other ones of 2 years but still kept them in my profile but not as the main pic,,,,I do think that meeting someone in person is the real thing tho to see if you connect or have that exclusive sparky in your eyes and the wee butterflies in your tummy,,, and when you make that connection with someone the bees are buzzing,,,,..dance

People look totally different with and without baseball caps too.
Although having some photo is better than none.

I know it's the in thing to say looks don't make a difference, but they kind of do, for me there's got to be some physical attraction as well as the mental one.

Some people are genuinely camera shy and don't like putting their pic up they might look better in person not that looks is everything because it really is in the eye of beholder as personality whether we are quiet,shy ,introverted or the opposite,,,I think always being true to ourselves is what's counts sometimes we like want to be that big personality and make jokes and people will love us then some trying to hard and the shy or quiet ones are just as interesting as the one with the big personality and it really is about finding the sock to match,.


Btw I've worn odd socks and its added abit of eccentrity.laugh .if a person hasn't got a great pic up or none but you have been connecting give them a chance,I've known some to have brill pics up and to be honest when I met one even tho he looked much the same I wasn't attracted to him.wine

That works both ways though, I've got on brilliantly with faceless people for ages, but then when they send a photo there's just no attraction, that's not to say they're ugly or anything, they're just not attractive to me. I think you need both for a relationship.

like I said

so good on you for being honest and posting

but if you are brave enough to put up a profile
add a clear photo
them we can decide if we think they are cute or if ther is some sort of attraction there

Yes that's the point I was making, some people look better or worse in real life than in the pic,,,and I'm sure if something was going to come about from emailing him on the laptop then one surely would get to meet them anyway,I wouldn't care if someone had no pic up or a good pic or a bad pic up if there was no intention of meeting them I'm talking about people that we not going to meet anyway as they live to far away,..and I'm sure if you connect with someone and you like a pic from them they would send you one privately on your phone as that happend in my case he sent it to my mobile and he phoned me so we were not just messaging on the dateing site forever and ever,rolling on the floor laughing

I don't think a picture up is that important on the forums here as I don't class it as a dating site,.. But if one did connect with someone on here then of course they send it in private,. I loveing the forums .. If I meet someone from the dating site all very well and good, I think on here tho it's great for the banter and chat,,,,no matter what age we are what we look like the forum here is cool,thumbs up ...
