Why don't you untag pictures that you look like a tool in?

That's certainly what I do.

To 99% of people I don't really care what I look like in whatever pictures I'm tagged in, it's just when making a first impression that I'm kinda meh about it. I'd rather just avoid friending chicks that I haven't met IRL yet.

just sit on the friend request and don't act on it until after you meet up. if she gets fidgety and says something about it then that might be a pretty good indicator she's interested imo

I'd just sit on it as well, but in reality do you want to be interested in a person who would decide to blow you off by what you look like in a few pictures, especially before they meet you?
Sounds like the definition of a shallow person, if I would you I'd accept the friend request, and if that is the reason they stop being interested in me, its their loss.

You are what you are

I mean, the very nature of Internet dating is to look at a bunch of pictures of someone and a quick bio and see if you could find yourself attracted to them. It's inherently shallow, and while I don't consider myself a shallow person (personality is essential in anyone I could be compatible with), I absolutely skip over girls' profiles if they don't look cute in their pictures. Why wouldn't I? Looks are still an important part of the overall package of being attracted to someone, moreso at the beginning of a relationship than any other time; putting forward something other than my best side seems stupid. Girls aren't going to want to respond to me if they couldn't conceivably find themselves attracted to me, BOTH mentally and physically.

It's a good thing that Spurious is around to keep you from being at the very bottom of the power rankings.

After posting I see how it could come off as worse than what i meant, not like I care about your power rankings, but untagging pics of yourself for reasons of trying to portray someone your not seems like a weak character trait.

Drunk pics find their way onto Facebook and are often not what you want the entire world to see.

If you're completely cool with every pic that you get tagged in on FB, then I envy you on that point.

I like your line. Dont know if I would accept it or wait on it for a few more days.

This!

Bad thinking. You should always portray you in the best way possible. Especially Facebook is a great tool to make a good first impression on people, so choose the content you share with strangers wisely and they should show you in a very good light.

If he has pictures running around naked or w/e, she would be smart for not wanting to date him.

Are you for real?

Weak?
What are you? Insane?

See post above.

LKJ is spot on here.

I usually try to avoid the drunk pictures at all costs, especially with groups of people I don't know very well and will insta-upload them to facebook/tag you in them. Did I mention that every college girl is a major facebook obsessor?

Ps. Merry Christmas guys! (Happy Chaunkah CCuster!)

you envy me

So you are saying, you dont care what you look like and what impression you make on others? Good luck with that...

I mean you might come across as a bad sport/ douche if you untag yourself since your friends dont really take it seriously (you cant take a joke). But it depends how embarassing the pic is imo. I dont think i would un tag myself because i dont really care what people think and i dont think my friends will un tag their pics if took an embarassing picture of them.

I see where ccuster is coming from tho

Thats completely besides the point. Knowing that you present yourself in a bad light and still not doing something about it, is bad.

If they did it in a light hearted manner for a joke, then i dont see anything wrong in leaving the picture there. But again this depends on the picture. If its just pics of you drunk then its not all that bad, no one on facebook will take it seriously anyway, there will think something along the lines of "oh this guy likes to have fun".

It's not what your friends think, it's what strangers think.
I will stop now, if people want to portray themselves as clowns/losers, I am not going to stop them.

This has been an LKJ-Spurious production.

It's a Christmas miracle.

goofy,

FWIW, all of my friends who have had success online dating ask to meet up for a drink either in the first or second message they send the girl.

As for Facebook, I generally avoid becoming Facebook friends (until hanging out regularly) with girls outside mutual friend circles that I am trying to date or hook up with. It takes away a lot of the mystery/chase aspect imo and makes things a little too familiar. Also it can sometimes lead to unnecessary stress/complications.

I'm pretty sure I looked mentally ******ed or am drunk in about 95% of my pictures on facebook and I've never untagged myself, nor care to.

Of course once I'm looking for a job that may change but I'd be doing it for comletely different reasons.



Christmas TR:
I'm not going to get into detail for various reasons but I spent my first 5-6 hours of Christmas(midnight-6am) on the phone with: emergency dispatchers, CG, two guys who kidnapped/date raped her, and cops.

Merry Christmas!

she sure lives up to her CG title

Sick cliffhanger!

LOLLLLL kidnap/date rape

christopherson is officially #1 on the power rankings


my christmas eve was pretty legit. got drunk at christmas family event with my brother. killed 18 of 20 bottles of MGD with him. played drunk jenga which is one of my favorite things to do. then went to a party at my friends place where every single person got blacked out drunk. i mean completely destroyed. chasing tequila with beer. dropping hennessey bottles after chasing it with water, etc etc.
