Photos (18)

What's wrong with Jabba? He drools.

Is a photo really the person and recent? True, you don't know. And someone who puts a 20 year old photo up irritates me. You can't hide if you meet.

People need to learn that we don't always expect a Johnny Depp look-alike. I just want to know who I'm talking to. That isn't down to just looks. One of the things that makes me write off someone quickly is when i ask them to tell me about themselves and they can't think of anything to say.

I'm not perfect, I don't expect anyone I talk to to be either. How intimidating would that be? I'm 53 and fat. I admit freely to hiding my arse behind the stone in my Rollrights pic. I need some more recent photos as that's getting a bit old now.

It's not all about magazine beauty. It's about getting to know a person a little, imperfections and all, before meeting with a view to an intimate relationship.

head off photos are automatic rejects for me.

Why?

Because this person is offering me a body, not a whole person. I just had a message in reference to this thread who has a black streak across his eyes, but you can see enough to get a general impression. Someone you can half see in a shadow photo would pass the criteria easily as well.

I hate hoods, so that says something to me as well. Incompatible kink.

Shots from behind can work, but a bruised bottom says 'Do me'.

My pretty toyboy phase has passed. I'm looking around for someone I would get on with in a proper relationship. I don't have a checklist for what that is, I'll know it when I see it.

But I have to have some basis for thinking someone is a possibility, while dodging the fringe element. Jabba isn't the only one who slobbers, you guys would be amazed. Contacting someone is often taken as massive encouragement.

I want to have a fairly good impression of someone before I invite interest. It may be that the easy way is to make my advert live and weed out the dross, but that's a lot of hard work.

I'm proud to say every photo on my profile is me from one angle.

I'm usually happy to send face pic by email.

You see, this is a good example of ways to present an impression without being recognisable to work colleagues or other people you'd rather not. They also tell a little about what you enjoy, so well done on that.

Quite often the people who don't post any photo are either too paranoid to get on with me anyway, or feel they are not attractive enough. I figure the latter is for me to decide, I've had good relationships with people who don't turn heads.

Thanks on that score, I do try to balance my privacy in other sphere of my life with the need to be open in this spehere. Like in all balancing act, there a compromise that needs to be found.

I do have photo's on my profile with more to come.

Well done. If you set one as profile photo, perhaps someone suited to you would notice?
