Cruising along the social online scene and you run across the whole shabang of personalities, back grounds, perspectives and probably some of the most interesting photos to help paint a picture of a potential new mate.
Lets be honest, the first thing everyone does is check out the main profile picture. Wait! You look at content of a person first? Sorry, not buying it, a large percentage of people will base their initial attraction on your posted picture. If the person deems you worth their caliber of sexiness they will then look at the rest of your photos, if by then they are still interested then they will look at the rest of your "content"...you know, the stuff that took you 15 minutes to fill out if not longer, hoping your witty personality shines through the computer screen and thus you are irresistible, resulting in a wink, a nudge, a note or whatever the site provides.
Who are the ones you should be wary of? The non-smilers! Yes gentlemen, I hate to admit it but your "I'm sensitive yet serious" picture 99% of the time looks like you're one dead squirrel away from serial killer status. If the ladies are willing to put up a fun, smiling photo or something more daring like a low cut top and bedroom eyes please return the favor, at least smile in your picture! I bet for sure your response rates from the ladies will triple with that slight adjustment.
Who else should register a red flag? The ones that are married. These guys are already in a long term relationship, what would you bring to the table thats new other than a physical aspect? Plus, don't kid yourself, he will not leave her or the children for you.
My favorite of the scary tri-fecta? Men shooting guns. I have no problem with guns personally, its the idiotic things that people do with them other than hunting, protection or just target practice. If his photos are all of him shooting a gun, here is what he's really telling you: 1. "I look awesome and very macho" 2. "I don't want you to get a clear look at my face" 3. "I may have put down that I like to relax and have fun but really, I like doing it shooting guns, not spending time with friends or possibly you."
Find all 3 of these magic wonders in just one online profile? Run for the hills girl!
Look for those that post pictures of themselves *preferably* clothed, smiling, spending time with friends or family. Anything more should be part of the mystery you unravel during the dating period. Make each other work for the quirks and your own weirdness :)
hahaha *preferably* clothed!
