Post a Photo

So I created a profile today for the FOX dating site for the local folks. I ran my first search & while I got over 20 matches, they weren’t actually matches. None of the guys I got matched with were attractive, at least not as far as I’m concerned…I’m not really into blondes or mullets! So here is my quam with dating sites & the people that are on them. Do you ever get that “hit” from someone & you go to check out their profile & their photo is taken from like 20 feet away, or it’s a group photo & they don’t have themselves labeled, or the worst is no photo at all. See, I used to feel bad when I’d ask for a photo from someone & then I’d get the pic and know why they didn’t post one, but do these people really think that they will get to know someone well enough that they will fall in love with their personality first? No, they won’t, because most people won’t have a 2nd conversation with someone without a photo. Now I don’t feel bad for just saying “sorry, but I just don’t find you attractive” and closing out our communication. I mean if they would have had the photo posted to begin with we could have skipped me being honest because I wouldn’t have contacted them in the first place. So I guess my suggestion to people is…if you don’t mind being told that you are unattractive then go ahead & omit the photo from your profile. If you would rather people not contact you because they don’t find you attractive from the get go, then post a damn photo! I also can’t stand the photos from like 5 years ago, are you kidding? I know you have more recent photos & the reason you aren’t posting them is probably because you don’t look as good now as you did then, but once you meet someone they are gonna figure it out so save yourself the embarrassment & just take a current solo photo from within 5 feet of you & post it! Thanks!
