i get nada and i have smiley no beer photos. being goofy looking matters.

I agree with your concerns. I try to smile and give a good impression. No kids, fish, sunglasses. If there are others, it’s obvious who is me

They must be! The girls certainly don't seem to go for the nerdy, musician type...

This actually goes both ways. I have seen women doing the same on dating sites, a scowl, looking mad, or many holding a drink. Drinking is big in the area I live, so I guess they want to make a point that they part of the crowd.

That's how I feel about snap chat photos. Yuck.

I need them to at least have one friendly pic . Toxic masculinity is a part of it I think . Trying to look tough

My thinking on that is...it is hard to know the real person in a picture! As for ‘smiling’..,that would be way down the list of admirable traits for a partner. A loving heart would trump a smile any day! But, that needs to be determined in person! Usually people are attracted to one another and they can’t easily put their finger on it! They will even miss the flaws at first, lol...keep looking there is bound to be someone who clicks with you!

It only worked when we were young, which was the last time a lot of these guys were single. They tend to fall back on what they know.

Never could figure that shit out , very puzzled by it

I have gotten off dating sites altogether because of this. The pic that still haunts my dreams was an extremely close up selfie of a man whose face was so red he appeared to be actively pooping

I'm no longer on any and haven't been for some time. Too many reasons to avoid them to list them all. I just go do what makes me happy. No need for looking. If someone worthwhile comes along...fine! If not, I'll go on vacation, walk, go out to eat, etc, and do things that I truly want to do.

I think this goes both ways. I’ve noticed a lot women don’t have a photo with them smiling. Some have a smiling photo, but with a filter. Some look like they are making faces. Maybe it is all selfies, but I wonder if they are afraid to post nice photo.

I'm a guy and I might look sad in photos but if you are around me and we talk you will see that is not true.

I've bin drinkin' again,
And thnkin' of when,
You left me
But that was so long ago.

I've been havin' a few,
And whishin' that you,
Were here right by my side,
Oh yeah, oh yeah - I'm drinkin' again.
