Guys, why the fish? I find a lot of pictures of my matches holding a fish. Also, why the pack of girls in the pictures? I do not like when my matches are surrounded by girls. Or even one girl, that doesn’t say “my sister” Why the beer? First thought in my mind, this guy drinks too much.

Here is what would be better. A headshot would be nice. A picture of you doing something you enjoy (but not with a fish). A picture of you at the beach would be nice. A picture of you with guy friends is ok. But please loose the fish!

Guys think the same thing when there are other guys in the pictures of girls. If you have a picture with a member of the opposite sex, label it or crop them out!

Okay, I've seen girls complaining about dogs in guy's photos, and now fish. Is this really that common? Yeesh! All I have is one bad face photo of me with a rictus looking grin...

At least I'm not holding a giant fish with my ten dogs sitting around, surrounded by swimsuit wearing girls who all seem to want me... *shakes head*

I was thinking that a picture of a guy with his grandma would be really sweet. To me it would show that the guy is caring. I have never seen any of my matches with their grandma. Guys go grab your grandma and start posing!

Assuming any of them is still alive. Otherwise, you might get closed quickly.

Actually, he didn't say they were lovely, he just said they wore swimsuits. Who knows how lovely they are

Maybe it's just me -- but I'm a big fan of cropping. I try to post several pictures -- but they are all just pictures of me! (Of course, including one full-length shot.)

Then again, I've heard some people complain about photos where someone is cropped out -- so you can never win with everyone.

After a while, I'm just thankful people post a picture and I'm happy if it's recent and accurate.
