Profile pictures

So I was bored and I thought I'd go check out who's out there on the dating websites. UUmm are you kidding me?!?! I feel like there's a horrible double standard going on or perhaps it's all in my head. As a female I feel like I have to have glamour shots up just to get noticed, but these guys have up blurry photo after blurry photo on their profile or pics of them in hats and sunglasses. I don't know about you, but sunglasses can make ugly people look good. I mean if  I posted a bunch of photos of myself with sunglasses on I'm quite confident that the number of responses I get would be few and far between so why is it OK for guys? Guys don't take pictures like girls do I get that, but now a days every cell phone has a camera on it, go stand in your bathroom mirror and take a goddamn clear picture of your face. Men aren't the only visual creatures. Women also like to have something nice to look at too.  Looks aren't everything, I'm fully aware of that, but considering I'm not accidentally bumping into this guy in public and having a random interesting conversation that makes me want to know about him even though perhaps he's not the most attractive guy does mean you need to peek my interest with something.

Maybe I'm just being ridiculous, but I think that guys should at least try to make me want to talk to you. A blurry photo doesn't make me want to message him  and say hi. Pictures of his dogs do though. Pictures of him and some girl don't make me want to send him a message or wink at him. I don't care for a bunch of pictures of  him from far away surfing or wake boarding or fishing or kayaking. Reading that he does that in his bio is good enough.I do like tattoos so sometimes I like when a guy posts a picture of one of his tattoos up close, but it's overkill if he more than 2 photos of his tattoos Write about it in your bio. Gang signs and him posted up like a wanna be thug aren't appealing either. If I wanted to date Rick Ross I'd be hiding out by his tour boss and stocking his record studio. Photos of guys with children are cute, however if they aren't his I kind of feel like you should save that for facebook.  Perhaps I'm just being super critical though. I'm sure someone could probably have a field day with my profile but my pics are only of me. I don't include pictures with me and friends. I crop them out I don't need the competition. I know how sleazy guys can be and I don't ever want a message that asks for my friends number or to partake in a 3 some. Thank Goodness my friends are too prudish for that. Also I don't post pictures of me that are blurry or 5 years old Keep it current, you know you don't look like that anymore.

I could  have a field day telling you what guys write in their bios. Sometimes I definitely feel like sometimes it's too much, there's not much else to say or talk about after that. I know everything about you, so what are we going to talk about?

Some people turn their noses up at online dating, but for some people it's a convenient way to meet people for whatever reason. Humans are naturally creatures of habit(in my opinion) and sometimes there are people that just don't go everywhere. I go to the gym, then home, then work, then home sometimes, it's school, home, work, the gym. every once in a while I might thrown in an outing to a bar or movie or restaurant. Generally always the same places. That's a very small pool of people to meet and going out all the time to everywhere isn't really who I am, online dating provides a much wider selection of people to meet. But again I  don't be on them every day. It's one of those things where I'm like bored and there's nothing on TV and no one to text and nothing on you tube I'm interested in watching. Although If I get an e-mail that says I have a message in my inbox I'll go check obviously. But I'm not an active member, online dating is my backup plan to my backup plan.

Maybe he's cute, maybe he's not....maybe he has a giant zit on his nose, maybe he doesn't... maybe he's cross eyed, maybe he's not. He might have a Mike Tyson tattoo on his face, which btw isn't that awesome looking


Would this picture make you want to message him?  well I guess if you were really into photography you might.
