Profile Pictures Question for the Ladies - 1/25/2008 9:13:37 AM

I've noticed that many women put their first picture in their profile as one that is not bad, but not even close to being the best looking.   I've seen a lot of pictures with frizzed hair, little make up, etc.  Not bad pictures mind you, but a bit less flattering.

Then I click to other pictures in their profiles and see a gorgeous woman.

I am curious, is this done intentionally to keep down the number of e-mails from testosterone impaired drool monkeys?

And I agree with salvetaboo, a person does not look perfect all the time so it a " Here I am, take me or leave me" kind of thing

Let's just be thankful that "natural smell" is not an option.

I happen to find muumuus very sexy... LOL

There was a reason why the picture of my bum appeared as the 2nd pict.. and now there is a reason why it is not there at all... too many dumb emails.

Also a good reason why I took down the picture of me in the White formal... too many " Is that your wedding dress? Your husband is (insert comment here). Even though I had a big ol disclaimer that it was not a wedding dress.

It is also why I have not put up the "sexier" face picts of me, or any pictures showing my bust. I dont need the grief. They dont read the profile now as is.

I can not blame ladies who put up non flatering first picts. If the guy gets past that maybe they are worth talking to.

Status: offline 		Nothing keeps trolls away.  Doesn't matter how flattering or unflattering the picture is.   i used to have a different picture up, finally i said screw it, put up a fairly decent picture, and only respond to emails that touch on something i said in my profile.  If the only thing they can comment on is my picture i have zero interest in responding.  hmmmmm well if i am in a nice mood i might send a polite thank you and a brush off.

It's all very subjective.

Status: offline 		I actually like to see the first pic on a profile as a natural one.  It shows the real person.  So many men on here are looking for the fantasy...they don't seem to realize the we all have everyday lives and everyday responsibilities.  Not everyone can look gorgeous all the time.  I mean, people ask me all the time how I manage to look gorgeous every single day.   Easy...lots of Cajun food!

I'd have to agree with you there.  I dig the tattoos and your natural look, but I'm just a lesbian in a gorgeous man's body!  LOL

Well I think you're smokin' hot, I don't give a flying fuck what your profile says, and I'd do ya in a heartbeat.  AND sell tickets for the show.
