Found a good blog about online dating. My favorite "don't" is below.

Little Miss Sunshine: The Dos and Don’ts of Online Dating


Don’t and I repeat, DON’T include a photo of you taking a picture of yourself in the mirror.
Guys, this is a thousand times worse when you are shirtless. No matter what you really have to offer someone, a "mirror pic" makes you come across as a complete tool. Take five minutes and ask someone to take a picture of you for goodness sake.

A beginner might get all excited by all the options they have, almost like shopping for a date. Learn to be realistic, I mean VERY realistic, and as the site said just enjoy the process instead of making it seem like a chore. Even if you didn't get so much as a first date, hey, you're making connections which could lead to something else down the track.

To me it kinda indicates you have no life (possibly unfairly)... there's no pic of you at a BBQ, out with your friends, family photo? Nothing?

Whether you have a life or not, everybody can turn the camera around! Yeah, it took me a little bit to figure this one out, too. The majority of my own pics in the last few years are self-taken, but you can't necessarily tell.

I think one of the reasons for this (in addition to being sloppy) is that people are used to seeing and like their mirror image. I prefer my mirror image as well.

As I just mentioned, that's not the way it looks to other people.

Yeah if you are taking a pic with a phone, you can stand in front of the mirror, point the screen away from you and the camera TOWARDS you, and you will see the picture in the mirror! Maybe mirror pics shows that you lack the intelligence to realise this? lol. Same with a camera really.
