Make sure that your profile pic is of you ONLY. Not you and your friend or friends. It confuses us guys. Wanna include pics of you out with friends in your profile? Cool. But please make sure you are the ONLY subject of attention in your PROFILE pic. This is easily my biggest gripe in online dating. It is always one girl I'm attracted to and one I'm not attracted to in the pic. Guess which one the profile is usually about?

Well, this is the 3rd biggest gripe in my life currently so life ain't too bad now.

If THIS is your biggest gripe of online dating then I'd say you are doing OK.

Right back at you, guys.

Leave the strippers and the V8 hostesses out of the picture.

You know they're paid to pose with you, right?

Oh and my personal bugbear - the photos of the vehicles. So you have a car, a motorbike, a boat. Great....but it's not actually the car or the motorbike or the boat we are looking to date.

It doesn't sound so bad.

So your not attracted to her, but to her friend? Get to know her a little, and you will be introduced to the friend.

(J/K, I know thats bad!)

I have been guilty of this. I had several photos of me with various members of Duran Duran and posted them on my dating profile. I assumed people would know who they were but many guys asked me if one of them was my boyfriend.

I had a buddy put his pic, the one with his arms around the Hooter's girls, as his profile pic. I need to ask him how that's going for him.

Yeah, that sounds like a foolproof plan to me!

I am so with you. Not only is it confusing, but there have been many times I wanted to write to a girl and ask her for her friend's number. Not only that, it makes her looks like she'd be too busy for me.

Second, if she is posing with another guy I will not message her (unless the guy is a celebrity). For all I know this guy is an ex that she's still hung up on, or maybe she's one of these chicks who has a lot of guy friends, and I avoid those kind of chicks like the plague.
