Hi Gramercy, I think what Tango is saying is that many men won't contact you if they believe you have a weight issue. This is a MUCH bigger issue for men than women so it might not have occurred to you that if you are physically in shape you should definitely show that in your pictures (and if you aren't in shape don't have pictures that imply you are). For a while I didn't have a completely full body shot. I went on a date with someone that after a drink or two was like "I had no idea how hot you were! You didn't have a full body shot as a picture..." Hahah, I found one to put up the next day. Unfortunately, our profiles are a little like selling our best selves not assuming people will just know.
I totally agree. I'm unsure where all of this concern came from as I have 9 pictures on my profile, 2 full lengths. I just don't choose to post them on here.

Great fun profile.

I think you should add in the yoga. Especially if it's a specific type (eg Bikram).

It can be a common bond, just like anything else. Something you can do together. Also certain types of people do yoga. Certain types of people think it's ridiculous. You are the former. Consider if someone put mixed martial arts, or body building for competition or pilates...says something about them right?

LOVEd hunger games btw. No one I know didn't cry in that first chapter.

Best-K

Yep, I agree with the above, especially if it is an activity you do on a regular basis.

I will definitely consider that. I guess I hadn't before because it's actually something I prefer to do alone. I enjoy the solitude of it. I certainly wouldn't stop someone from coming with me, but it's like my special time alone where I can let go of any frustrations and stress. It's also not something I do for leisure. It's something I do to stay in shape physically and mentally, just like eating healthy or flossing my teeth.

When I see people's workout stuff on their profile, unless it's something they do competitively or for fun, like playing baseball or running marathons or whatnot, it just seems like they work out for fun and it's kind of a turn off - it almost comes off a little superficial to me as though they don't have any other interests other than that. I'm more interested in what they do outside of their regular routine because how they workout isn't going to peek my interest or tell me anything about their interests. But that's just me and my perception.

The Hunger Games was amazing!!!! I cried a few times and through out the books. I can't wait to see the movie. The trailers seem pretty true to the book.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I certainly appreciate all of your help.
