- Don't show a pic with you on your private jet. Great. You're rich. Is that what you want your first impression of you to be? Is that what you want a girl to like you for? You can proably afford a "millionaire' matchmaker who will set you up with a golddigger.





- Most women aren't interested in the car you drive. Don't put a pic of it in your profile. Especially if it's a muscle car, that just gives me the impression that you're overcompensating for something.





-WHY do men insist on putting pics of themselves with other women on their profiles, without a caption that reads: "This is my sister/cousin/etc., NOT my ex-girlfriend"





- Don't take a picture of yourself with a picture of yourself in a mirror with your cellphone. It turns up as about 1 square inch, and you might as well be a mannequin. We can't even see what you look like.





- I don't really care that you know celebrities. As a matter of fact, maybe I know more than you, and you look like you're braging. I don't want to see your picture of you with (fill in the blank)





TO E HARMONY:: WHYYYYYY isn't here an icebreaker that reads: can you please post a photo that actually shows what you look like?

1. Yes.


2. The same concept applies to how big the truck is.


3. Why do the girls do this? Why doesn't everyone have a caption on every photo?


4. Why do the girls do this?

THANK YOU!!


Oh and another thing . . . to single parents, we know you love your kids but it's really kind of unsafe to go taking a picture of your kid and posting on any site. There's no security for that anywhere. It just makes me uncomfortable and here's a real kicker . . . posting pictures with your mom. Again, love the folks but it screams "I'm a momma's boy".


Ohand the string of unlit Christmas lights crawling across your wall in the background? C'mon. It is just amazing to me what I've seen in terms of pictures being too dark to tell whether you're really a man or a woman, or even in the photo.


Comb your hair, take a shower, put on a nice shirt, shave, brush your teeth, and have a friend take some really nice photos of you in a garden or on the beach. Looking at half eaten food on a plate with a slew of shot glasses next to it at a bar with you smiling is not impressive. And for God's sake, take off the dark sunglasses. I don't mind if you're on a Harley but I better be able to see your eyes.


I think there should be some care and energy put into a photo if you're seriously looking for someone you want to be involved with. It should reflect that you respect yourself enough to want to look presentable as well. You don't need a tuxedo or a suit, but a photo that says "I'm interested and interesting."

Amen to that!! Look, I get it - you have kids and of course you love them. Do you really have to put them in your profile 5 times? Savethat for something ELSE we might want to know about you!





An ENOUGH with the sunglasses!! Yay, you ridea Harley. You're a badass. I'm very impressed. Can I please see what YOU look like and not your bike?!

I also think that single childless women should minimize the photos with children. It sends a message that you may not be intending. Or worse maybe a message that you are intending.


If you'reexpressing that you wantchildren very soon, then you may come off as being needy.


Even if the guy wants the same thing soon, it is too much to soon to broadcast it. LOL.

I'm sick of seeing the photo of a woman in the driver's seat, usuall in an SUV and the shot looks like it's taken from the center front, just above the windshield. Are there some vehicles with cameras there or something? I've seen it on eH and other dating sites and I keep wondering why there are so many like that. It's gotten to be, in my mind, like the cell-phone snap in the bathroom mirror.

My favorites: the pictures with someone cropped out (all but an arm, maybe) or of the guy shirtless sitting on a bed in a messy bedroom. Yep, that's attractive!

I really don't want to compete with the Hooter's girls. Or the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders. Yeah, those pics impress your buddies -- not me.

I asked my sister what kind of stuffher husband is interested in. One of the things was Asian Hooter Girls.
  1. I didn't know there was such a thing.
  2. Really surprised that he told her.
  3. Even more surprised she told me.
