Online dating thread - Page 109 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Since I'm trying to attract intelligent, mature women who possibly like sports to a degree would this be a good profile picture (showing off my view)? Or does it come across as bragging and vain?

I always want to surprise women with different possessions of mine after they started liking me for me, rather than have them like me for my possessions, but I don't seem to be attracting enough women off the start.

tried to fix your photo

You should definitely include that in your profile, but it shouldn't be your main pic, which needs to look good in thumbnail devoid of any context.

Thanks, but it looks almost fake or photoshopped. What do others think on which is better?

Original is too dark, Yeota's is too bright. Play around with Photoshop to fix it up. I've done it and it works great.

I don't get how that would be viewed as braggy or vain, so long as the caption was something showing how amazed you are that you get such an awesome view. I also wish it wasn't so dark on your face, though, but if you have another with more light on your face anyway then I don't know that it matters.

My caption is "Best view in the city (world?)"

Changing to "My view is much worse in the Winter"

That is a terrible picture because you are in shadow, like some kind of sinister batman

PowerfulRogan, you are right that girls should choose people based on personality and not height. If they did that, they would not go for these douchebags, but for your awesome personality.

I'm complete aids at this online dating bisnatch. I feel like these girls do it for self esteem boost, not dating. I made a gimmick with a 7-8 chick v cute not nothing mind blowing and got like 45 messages in an hour. Is this even possible? (I'm using pof)

I'd crop the 2/3 of the photo to the left of you and keep some of the skyline in the back. It's not a bad pic to bury in your account in its entirety but I wouldn't feature it unless you crop it.

+1. Alas, I don't think Photoshop can do anything about that. Maybe paint over it in black with MS Paint?

Ya, I don't wear that shirt anymore. Photo was taken 3 years ago, I look the same though (actually more muscular now)

I misunderstood. I thought you made a gimmick account with a chick to see what the results would be. Nm.

Oh no I did. She had nice tits and an ok face. It really did blow my mind how many messages I got. I got the pics from some chick from Cali and deleted them after an hour

Also the first pic is my default 2nd one not there unfortunately
