Tip for Women #10: Post a Photo!!!

This is a no-brainer. You need to post a photo. I think for the most part guys have got the message that "no photo" means "no success". But you women haven't received that memo, I guess. It almost guarantees a diminished response. Myself, I very rarely write to people without photos.

Maybe you could write and suggest good reasons why you might not post one, because I'm at a loss.

1. Career. Nope. Nobody ever got fired for dating, whether internet or in real life. On that line, would you decline a date just in case you run into your boss at the bar?

2. Safety. Nope. What can somebody really do with just your photo?

3. Embarrassed. What, are you really afraid that your mom or friends will see you're online? If you're insecure about people thinking you can't meet people "in real life", well you need to just get over that. This is New York, 21st Century. The opportunities for meeting people are much different from when your parents met each other. More work + less social interaction = greater difficulty meeting people. Necessity is the mother of invention, though, so welcome to the Singles Bar Version 2.0.

Bit of a tangent, this. I intend to discuss it further in the future. Seriously, though, write me and tell me why you're not posting a photo.
