Why so serious?\u00a0<\/p>\n
As I troll the photos of men that the interweb gods have deemed my “perfect matches” – I keep wondering: why would you post a picture of yourself without a smile on your face? And in a shirt with holes and dirt stains, or your significant other obviously cut out of the picture?<\/p>\n
Technology is not that difficult.\u00a0 We live in an age where digital camera\u00a0photography is everywhere.\u00a0You can take and retake a picture until you get it right.\u00a0 And if you don’t have enough friends to take pictures, bribe a co-worker or Walmart greeter.\u00a0 You have options, people.\u00a0 Use them.<\/p>\n
Oh, and for the record?\u00a0 You posting a picture of yourself with a girl from Hooters or a Bar Babe from some beer company is not going to make me come a-running.\u00a0 Also, posing by your car, truck, or bike is only going to attract women that are more interested in your possessions than yourself.\u00a0 I’d rather see a picture of you with your pets or your hobbies.<\/p>\n
I try to\u00a0update my profile with a new picture of myself each month to show that this is what I really look like.\u00a0 I often get told that I’m cuter in person.\u00a0 I guess that’s better than the other option, right?\u00a0\u00a0Many of my pictures have me laughing or doing something silly, at least 2-3 show a full body shot so there are no body-shape surprises.\u00a0I try to have one picture of me where I look “pretty.”\u00a0 But that’s typically not my only shot.<\/p>\n
Putting your best face forward is key.\u00a0 Stop scowling.\u00a0 It’s not that bad – but with that face – you are going to have a hard time making it better.<\/p>\n
