Hooking up on the net: what not to do #5

A very important item in a meeting profile is the picture. Well, yeah, whether you like it or not, the image plays an important part. So, some pieces of advice:

  1. Put a picture! If you think you're going to seduce with only a hundred-worded description, wake up.
  2. Put a picture OF YOU! Well, yeah, there's no point uploading the picture of your latest favourite movie or your cat!
  3. People need to see it's you on the picture: I find a lot of a group pictures such as "my friends and me", "my boyfriend and me" or "my best female friend and me" and it's often difficult to figure out who's who.
  4. Avoid sunglasses, for two reasons: first because it covers the most important part of your face, your eyes, and then because you look like a show-off.
  5. Avoid pausing like a playboy on pictures, because people can see straight away that it's not spontaneous!
  6. Do not put a picture on which you look gloomy, you're going to look like someone depressed or someone boring.
  7. Remember that the first picture is the most important: it's the first impression, so it must make you look good.

I think I forgot a few. Suggestions?

    8. Si vous n'avez aucune bonne photo de vous, mettez une photo de la bombe sexuelle dénommée "Christophe", vous séduirez à tous les coups!
    heu... mmm... bon ok, peut-être pas.

    Je pensais justement ajouter quelque chose du style "Ne mettez pas la photo d'un autre, n'oubliez pas que vous allez devoir rencontrer la personne!"

    telling the truth on a profile can only do you good and, of course, showing your private parts does make a difference
    lol
    but what do I know, I have not been on those site for ages, eventhough I get hit on quite a lot on fuckbook...

    I never showed my private parts to people I don't know. I mean, on the Internet! In real life, it's different, hee! I have been asked lately to send a picture of my arse with my legs stretched, I'm wondering whether I should do it...

    Okay, okay, I meant "them" as "several people" indeed. But they are not enough to make a gang bang! :D
