profile pics with ex ( Archived) (13)

ok, maybe its just me.....why would you put a profile pic up that shows you with your arms wrapped around your ex lover/husband/etc

To show you are lovable.

It's a part of their past, I don't see an issue with it so long as the person has moved on.

Interesting topic, as I've wondered the same thing. Photos, pictures are a form of communication, therefore a message(s) is being sent; but just what is the "message"; what are we to make of it? What are the possible messages/ interpretations of someone who has chosen to post a photo with "an ex"; there is no need to, when one can obtain a good and cheap photo from almost any dept. store, photobooth or camera store for under a couple of dollars; the old excuse of "it's the only one I have..." doesn't cut it and neither does the " but I don't want to cut-up my photo..";even a Wall Mart has a photo department to get fast good and cheap photos done for a nominal cost...
This has been posted several times before by various people for people who say they "can't get a photo of themselves..."which has led to one other message from the poster, that they are perhaps not really making an effort, nevermind other possible messages...

There is a common conception out there that women are more attracted to a man who is taken or married if you will, than one who is not..

Perhaps some people think it raises their odds I dunno..

Having said that it's not difficult in this day and age to get a digital photo of yourself...

Oh well to each their own as they say...

Good observation; I've found the same. I have had a few aquaintences that had this conception also and started wearing wedding rings...and started having more women talk with them than ever before and yes, a couple of them did "enjoy the fruits of their labour: of wearing the ring...:) sometimes it does seem to work...:))

LOl..It does seem to work to some degree Solitare..I don't understand it, but it does..

I also know a few guys that use this tactic... They swear buy it..

Pete???



get outta here!!!


.................ear...



damn.... wanders allllll over the place!

I never contact any man, when there is another person on the photo.
When there only an arm is visible, I do not mind. Maybe the arm is not an ex but a family member posing with him for the picture.

Any man, who is not free, and any man who is not looking exclusively for a committed relationship, both are not worth wasting any minute of my time with them.
