What’s in a picture?
|
What’s in a picture? What’s in a picture? Well I’m sad to say this concept seems to escape many users here. I am primarily speaking of the men simply because those are the profiles I view but I would imagine there’s women just as guilty of failing to understand some simple things about your profile and pictures and your success on this site. So I give you a few hints. #1 HAVE ONE. I know this is a bit scary for some people. You are worried about your privacy etc. Note I did not say have a head shot as your main photo. No picture at all = No response at all. Physical attraction is pretty much everything on a site of this nature. My main pics have always been naughty/enticing… but they don’t actually show anything terribly intimate. For you guys… a chest or body shot are often still very appealing to me… enough to get me to look further anyway. At a bare minimum have some private pictures you can share in chat or email and actually offer to share. #2 Content Photo must have some part of you in it. It should not be a photo off a porn site that you found hot even if you label it as such and are not trying to pass yourself off as said porn star… that is not what photos on this site are for. Even if it fills your quota for points etc. Nor do I wish to see your motorbike, pet, or a lovely scene unless you are in it somewhere. #3 Appearance Please… please… PLEASE actually look at your photo before submitting it. Try to see it from the point of view of your audience. If my first response is Ewwwww (and sadly it often is) you will not be getting a response or any future views from me. You may be a god in bed… but with out some attraction happening… it’s not going to happen. Look at your body position in the shot… my body isn’t perfect folks my work out routines need more discipline but I chose shots that show my body to it’s best. (And many of you seem to approve) The lighting (photo by light of your laptop screen is NEVER flattering folks.) A web cam or cell photo is fine… but a little effort please... basic grooming… tidy the hair, ensure you are wearing clean clothing (if you are wearing clothing.) LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE BATHED RECENTLY. This is not a mug shot it is an attempt to get someone attracted enough to have sex with you. #4 Background Okay while I can occasionally over look this one it’s still vastly annoying. Look around you before taking photos… check again after. What else made it in to you picture? I do not need to see 3 weeks or dirty laundry. Your unmade bed. Your dirty kitchen. And if you must do a bathroom mirror shot tidy the room and close the toilet seat first. #5 The cut out Okay I know some of us don’t have a lot of photos… but if you must cut someone else out of your photo make sure it’s nicely done. Do not use one of you holding your ex or current for that matter (unless they’re involved and have given permission) squeeze and just blur the face or cut their shape out. The happy face over your buddies’ faces… just looks stupid. #6 Permissions Do NOT post intimate photos of anyone you’ve been with without their explicit permission. Okay I can’t tell if you have that permission but its just good manners. I have the misfortune of discovering an ex of mine had intimate photos of us up on this site with out permission… let me tell you I was not pleased. I don’t care how great a shot it is… or that you can’t see any faces… believe me the subject of said photos will know if they see it. |
