"Literate Hiker- Our picks for you." Drumroll ....
Man # 1. Sideways picture.
Man # 2. Upside down photo.
Man # 3. Scowling. Looks like he wants to punch the person holding the camera.
Man # 4. Tight face shot from the chin up. Not proud of what's below his chin?
Man # 5. Blurry. Too far away.
Really, guys? That's the best you can do?
Every picture tells a story, whether intended or not.
I THINK I can do better; but I wouldn't dream of sending You a photo unless I move to the Seattle area(where my brother currently lives)! By the way, I am ashamed of all the idiots of my gender!!
Pictures are important but pictures also lie. Make sure its not a porn star or tv personality pic on someone else. How use tin eye [tineye.com] This is free for personal use. Just take your photo clipper to it, create a pic save and then submit it. This was on NBC news because a NBC sportscaster's pic was being used and this woman was getting ready to marry the guy and the family got worried. When he was confronted on line he disappeared.. just before she was going to sell her house and move to Hawaii to be near his Seal team 6 operations base and marry him.
All the posts here are so funny!
I wonder what my Spam pictures say about me? ha ha ha ha
Oh, I can't resist ...
People holding up dead fish
Their description reads "I'm a happy person" - their photo looks damn angry and scary
"fit" shows a big 'ole belly hanging over the waistline
pictures of four different dogs - one distant human
doing a selfie, and looking down - no eyes showing
selfie taken at the mirror in trashed bathroom
chewing a huge wad of food - with mouth open to show you that food ... "yum"
wearing white "wife beater" shirt, complete with stains ... OOOOh baby !
And my favorite : wearing a wedding ring, and women's arm showing over his shoulder
Hilarious! Thanks for your priceless reply.
Online dating is it's own special hell. For being early 30's, in great shape with an amazing job, paid off car and a house, I don't know what I am doing wrong.
It's not you at all and you're not doing anything wrong. If you are not at least a 7 in looks, and that means all of it, face, body, how you dress, hair, you are going to get ignored by most women on paid dating sites in favor of the 7s, 8s and 9s. I have no answers, as anyone on here who reads my comments knows that we are in the same boat even tho I am your father's age and have a good relationship track record as a widower, am average looking, and financially secure. Those things without good looks seem to impress no one.
Looked at your profile and, to be blunt, the only things I can see going against you with the shallow world of online dating, is that you have an average face, even with a nice full head of hair, and are not tall, which is another thing most women want, which I have, along with an average body.
Smile in your photos. Show your pearly whites!
A genuine smile is inviting, warm and attractive. Women want to see your eyes and smile. You also need a recent, full-body shot, fully clothed, of course.
Write an interesting profile. Describe your best characteristics and strengths, activities you enjoy, and what you are looking for in a relationship. Talk a little about the type of woman you want to meet using personality traits.
Appreciate the tips. I'm doing a lot better now that I have moved away from Tinder style dating apps. Not being able to express myself in writing was hurting me. At some point I should update my profile here, but this seems less like a dating app and more like Facebook for adults.
@Charles7600 You're exactly right Agnostic.com has been called the FB for thinking, non-believing adults and that's what it is.
On Fitness Singles, a non-smoker has a pic with a cigarette hanging on his lip.

@Sierra4 I've had that happen to me too on paid dating sites like Match. Sometimes these women were even attractive looking, but when they said clueless stuff like that which showed they had no idea of the things in my profile, I knew they either had to be a scammer or an airhead, and, either way I was not interested......
I'm 39 and the ones I see are...
Here's too many pics of me and my dog! (I'm not a dog person)
Guns!
Trucks and ATVs!
Me and a dead animal! (I'm not against hunting if you eat what you kill, but for profile pics? Come on)
Look at all the extreme sports I do! Eyeroll
Flipping off the camera... Really?
Listing School of Hard Knocks as their education so original and edgy
Group photos, have fun guessing which one is me!
Then there's the saddest ones where he must have taken a couple pics with his friend and on the 3rd pic you realize he's not the cute one...
@Remi
Hilarious! Thanks for your great reply.
