Inigima Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I get "hi how are you" messages too (less frequently, I'm sure, since I'm male) and I just ignore them. I don't have much advice beyond "deal with it." It's not difficult to ignore a useless message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liffguard Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I know I called online dating an "exercise in frustration" earlier but I may cave and give it another go. One problem being that there aren't really many photos of me. I don't take many myself and don't hang around with many people who do. I've scrounged a few up that show me in a few different lights but it's pretty sparse. In particular, I don't really have any photos of me just casually socialsing, goofing off etc. Any thoughts on if what's there'll be workable or should I try and get different ones? Potential main picture.Windsurfing action shot.Another action shot, British Military Fitness compeition final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomnium Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 And if a guy doesn't have a picture? The mystery of it must suck you right in. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlefingers In The Air Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 this pic saw a decent amount of success as the profile pic. and this one has been a general ice breaker/frame of referencePlenty of "Fuck yeah, Foley!" in my inbox. One girl even asked if I was Foley in an apparent gold digging attempt :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maithanet Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 What about like....a picture of me chopping wood with no shirt on.With a lumberjack beard.If you are someone who looks like you do a lot of shirtless wood chopping, then I think this approach could do nicely.

Sir Thursday Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If you're looking for picture feedback, OKCupid has something called MyBestFace that you can use to see how your photos compare against other users. Basically your picture gets shown to random people in comparison to another photo and they select the one they prefer. It gives you feedback based on what sort of people liked or didn't like your photo. You don't get huge numbers of comparisons for each picture, but if you're looking for some initial numbers on what people think about your pictures, it's worth a shot. Plus you get a bit of an ego boost if you find that people like your pictures :). ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTinyKittens Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 So, I've been using OkCupid and Tinder for about a month now with mixed success. I've gone on WAY more dates than I ever have before, but none of them are interesting in any follow-up (to be fair, I am not either with most). Is it unusual to go on 8-10 first dates and not get a single bite for a second date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theda Baratheon Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think I'm crap at choosing the best pictures for myself, lol. But I've included two full body shots and one where I'm sat in the park and only two selfies, should be okay...a selfie is my main photo though...
