Putting up an old photo of you when you were 25 years younger. Why?

I just put up a picture of myself on a dating site - it was taken just last week...

I've no idea, either, unless somebody plans on stupid online fantasy exchange only. Even though I doubt I’ll ever return to this game, it's discouraging to hear it's so common.

She had a photo marked "Current".

Oh my, let's see, the words VENDING MACHINE come to mind. As in, that's how big she was.

Why on earth would you put up a photo of you from the 80's? How do I know it was from the 80's? The photo stated it was taken in 1987.

Is she trying to say: See, I USED TO BE "hot".



HELP!

I always liked the "look like hell" pics the best myself. You look the worst you can look in them. It's even better when you aren't shaved or are dirty. They still think you are hot all dirty in some M81 Woodlands or carpenter jeans and a tight white t-shirt. You can't hide the muscles from them. They see them every time.
