So, I hate to harp on about photos, especially since I've already discussed the photos that you're posting on your profiles. But I feel like this sub-topic merits a lazy week-end post.
All of you people with photos of any of (but not limited to) the following need to update your photos:
(1) A pixilated close-up photo of your eye, obviously cropped from a larger photo of, say, the rest of you.
(2) A photo of the back of your head.
(3) A photo of you taking a drink from a glass.
(4) A drawing of yourself.
(5) A photo of yourself that's been photoshopped into becoming essentially unrecognisable (but oh so artsy, REALLY).
(6) A photo of your feet.
Yes, you've been very clever in getting yourself into my search parameters (which unapologetically toss aside profiles without photos), but as between you and the cute girl with a proper photo, odds are I'm clicking on her.
Superficial, you say? Welcome to human sexuality 101. Lesson 1: human sexuality, at bottom, is a game of drawing conclusions, rightly or wrongly, based on superficial qualities. Hey, nature has to weed out the genes of the George Costanzas of the world somehow.
Whilst we're on the subject, it's also not a good idea to only have photos of your body (butter face?) or only to have photos of your face (butter body?) For guys with a penchant for hats (I'm included in this group), it's important to have at least one photo of yourself without a hat, so that women don't wonder whether you're hiding the effects of pre-mature balding.
