I've found this to be common regardless of age. And what's even stranger to me, is that most contact me first, yet can't follow through.

That's why 1 phone conversation is mandatory to get a feel for each other's personality to see if you want to meet face to face

Depends on the photo. If the picture shows you doing an activity, that's awesome! If you love driving and have a picture of you smiling while on a track, even better!

If the picture is you, shirtless, kneeling beside a car while throwing some sort of stupid hand gesture then yeah...it looks stupid.

Did she give you enough in her response for you to respond back to keep a conversation going, or is this yet another one of your little tests that the poor woman didn't know about?

I tend to interpret this as poor conversation skills and/or extreme self-centeredness. Either way, I tend to lose interest.

Yep. I just don't understand why he wants to punish these women because they don't live up to whatever standards he has for them. If you're not interested in someone, just move on.

Be careful what you wish for, what if she responded with these questions:

Where do you live? What do you do for fun?
