1. pic with a animal

I'm not big on animals (or people for that matter) although I support non-violence against them (I'm vegetarian), so I'd be neutral.


2. Showing off muscles

It looks vaguely douche-y and I wouldn't be thrilled about it.


3. doing something interesting

As long as it's something I'D be interested in, why wouldn't I be thrilled?

4. having fun with friends

Sure, unless you couldn't clearly be identified and your friends are hotter than you.

5. outdoors

Why not? Unless you wanted to take me hiking. I'm a princess and I don't do that.

6. drinking

Positive if it's a dark beer and shows you have taste, negative if it's obscuring your face.

7. travel photos

Sure, why not?

Why don't you post your pic on a TVSG thread, and let us vote? You can create several interesting "pose" categories for us to choose from. We will ensure as your groupies that we give you our most honest opinion of the best photo for you to post. It can be sort of like a "People's Choice Award" for the best picture of you. This will ensure you maximum your dating potential.

Yeah, seems like a good way of weeding out the morons.

It's perfect. I now call myself "genius". Nobody else calls me that, so I will!

Well None of my online photos since 2007 feel into any of these categories but I have still done quite well. But I guess that is what a women is talking about when she says-"do you have any other pics"


All I need to see is your face whether it's in your bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen. Hanging out having fun won't impresss me if your face is ugly-lol
You really should consider blogging all these thoughts/?'s that you have. You might get more attention, just saying...............

His innumerable threads on CD afford him all the attention he can handle and, with all due respect, his command of the English language would make a reading of any blog of his a horribly painful experience. Just sayin'.

That's a fine, fine idea. Here's my take on it:


1. Pic with an animal

Make sure that the animal is plainly visible and adequately cute. Chicks DIG cute animals, so be absolutely certain that you use the before shot rather than the after when you're posing with your baby Harp seal.


2. Showing off muscles

When showing off one's physique to best advantage it's often difficult to make the best use of light and angle all at once. To that end I'd suggest that you try to use evening light since it provides good angularity; don't make the mistake of sunset as a backdrop. Be sure and take off your shirt when using club or gaff on the Harp seal. Also, try taking several practice swings and have someone use a good high-speed film and multi-shot camera so you can choose the best picture for your online dating profile but don't feel you have to rush the project; sunset lasts quite a while there. Note: It's especially useful to "let" the seal think it's escaping so that you can flex when you sprint to prevent it achieving entry into the water. It can make for some great shots and chicks will really dig the irony.


3. Doing something interesting

Women like to be entertained because they're generally very shallow, insecure creatures who find that imagination actually hurts on a physical level. Because of this you'll need to appear interesting, quite possibly more interesting than you actually are. Make sure you keep your profile pictures interesting by appearing thoughtful and focused in a few of them. Inspect your tools carefully in one or two poses, perhaps even wiping them between uses. Keep it LIGHT, however; upon full inspection of your gaff or club try a shot with a wink and a thumbs-up for effect.


4. Having fun with friends

Clearly, this should already be covered BUT just in case, try to make sure you only choose pictures in which you're smiling, which is most readily done on the backswing. Granted, this can result in a picture looking contrived, especially since you're mostly going to use the before shots. This can be alleviated by making a few silly faces at the camera to indicate that a good time is being enjoyed by all present: You, cameraman and Harp seal. Everyone should look like they're enjoying the fun. Try the addition of alcoholic beverages to the scene to convey that you're just the Average Joe (easygoing and readily approachable) BUT regularly engaged in highly interesting activities. It makes for an intriguing juxtaposition. Chicks dig juxtaposition and it makes for an easy "in" with jokes involving fornication at a later time when your dating profile has led to success.


5. Outdoors

Make sure to include plenty of awesome backdrops in your photos to demonstrate that you're a worldly kind of guy who globetrots with the best jetsetters available. Women are drawn to men who travel (which I'm fairly certain is the origin of the phrase "Travelin' Man" and why it's so popular with the ladies) so make sure behind you, your pals, the alcohol and the seals you include plenty of landscape shots so that women are simply dying to join you. What kind of woman fails ('cos indeed, the failure WOULD be on her part, dude) to find her loins moistened by floes and shelves? Make them want to come TO you, man, make them do the begging!


6. Drinking

As mentioned earlier when I suggested the addition of alcoholic beverages to your shots, women love the idea of a good time juxtaposed against a professional-yet-casual atmosphere. However, it's a well-known fact that in their hearts, all women really want to do is PAR-TAY. Make sure to include several photos in which not only your friends are sharing your activities but you're all clearly as refreshed by beverage as humanly possible within the confines of the law -- and since where you're posing "law" is pretty loosely defined, the sky is the limit, baby! Place several tipped-over and obviously empty kegs where they can be easily seen as part of the "casual" scenery.


7. Travel photos

While most of the prerequisites for travel photos will have been covered in earlier suggestions, there's no truth like the truth of chicks being all about the ride. Make sure to get several shots of you, still shirtless and quite possibly decorated in red from your exciting and vastly interesting day's pastimes (if it's more of a hobby you should definitely state that in the essay portion of your personal ad), posing next to your vessel. It will certainly help that women are always saying how much they love the ocean so you really can't go wrong with this one. It will let them know you do, indeed, get around.



TVSG, you simply MUST follow this advice and post it for your fellow CD'ers to peruse so that we can grade your efforts and offer up friendly tidbits of both advice and encouragement.

Not of those categories mean anything because of these false statements made by women online

"Don't send me flirts"-WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN IS THEY WILL ONLY ACCEPT THEM IF THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO YOU


"Send me a email and not just what's up or hey baby"-WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN S THEY WILL ONLY APPRECIATE A LONG EMAIL REPLY IF THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO YOU



Woman are so full of it
