I skip over photos that has girls with their boyfriends. It makes me think that they are not single and looking to cheat on their boyfriends.

I also skip over the ones that says they're 5 miles away but attending college on the opposite side of the country. Sometimes, I think they're scammers.

Oh yeah, old photos! I always had to scratch my head and wonder what people were thinking when they posted a photo with a digital time stamp in the corner showing the photo is 5, 8, or even 10 years old! I suppose they are honest by providing the date, but really, how hard is it to get a recent picture or even take a selfie.

This.

I don't bother with people who post photos. No matter what scenario I can come up with to try to explain why they haven't posted a pic, the conclusion is the same: it's nothing good.

And MurrayMoe...the profile pics are key. I recently spent a few minutes scanning through photos, and most of the men look so angry. If not that, then they're wearing skin tight shirts, flexing their muscles in what looks like the gym. Or, theyre wearing ball caps and shades.

What the heck?!?

I admit that I usually do. I've opened a few and found little reason to make an exception.
Ummm, yes! Call me shallow or whatever but you need physical attraction! Plus its online dating, could be anybody, even with pictures I'm still unsure of who it is.

Well when girls stop posting skin tight dresses and cleavage shots we will stop.

Same here. On Tinder I would skip profile pics of groups, or showing a woman embracing another dude, or no photo, or a photo of a dog or something. If I matched with a woman with a photo but she had nothing in her profile I wouldn't bother. If she has a bunch of pics of her in the club I would unmatch.

This is a pretty childish response, is it not?

I skip over them as physical attraction is a big part of the equation. I have a picture (multiple pictures, actually) up and will only talk to others with similar profiles.
