Please don't.....

put a bunch of photos up with you and the girls and not identify which person you are

put up a photo of you on your summer vacation in your 2 peice bathing atire
or any photo the reveals waaaay to much.

put up photo with your children( pervs might want to meet you just so than can get to your children)

put up several photos of you and each photo has a different guy that you've taken a photo with. It's not a good look. Even if they are just "childhood friends". The only guys that are acceptable are family members.

Oh, I can hear it now: I'll just lie and say it's my cousin. Well, if you're starting off like that, it's no wonder why you're single. It's called integrity. What matters is what you do when people are not looking...INTEGRITY!


And lords knows....... STOP using your camera phone in the bathroom to take snap-shots of yourself in the mirror.



Thanks
Ron

LOL. You've hit on some of the biggest complaints that Ive heard from friends who meet women on dating sites.

Pics with other women (even just two total in pic) seems to be on of the biggest complaints. Also pics where it is obvious that it was taken with a chick and a guy but the guy was cropped out and only his arm or something similar can be seen where he's hugging the chick.

LOL! This is funny! So what kind of pictures should women post? If we are going to be honest, maybe women should post pictures of themselves in the morning, when they first wake up. This way, no one feels like they were mislead. Also, women should post one fat picture of themselves. This way the guys knows just what she might look like if she puts on a few extra pounds!

trying to find honesty on eharmony is like trying to buy milk in a hardware store. btw they always ask for honesty.

I think its very simple. Just post a current pic of yourself. That really is the best way to go. Potential mates do not want to see pics with woman holding her pet, partying in Cabo with her friends, a cropped pic with some other guy/past boyfriend because the woman thinks "its one of the only pics where I look good".

Just a simple recent photo of you and ONLY you is all that is needed.

~ Don't post pictures of Anercrombie and Fitch models...we've seen the commericals.
~ Don't create women's profiles (using a pic some unsuspecting woman sent you) and claiming you are a "bi-curious" first timer - you don't think like a woman and we are not fooled at all.
~ Don't take pictures of yourselves half naked - the beer gut is not to be confused with a six pack.
~ Don't tell us how many inches you are, you know where - we don't care.
~Don't post pics of you with different girls - you are not looking like a "fly pimp" or "playboy Hef" - you just look like the wanna be.
~ Don't preach about integrity - fact is there are men and women that are pathetic enough to play those games...how they dare to show their face in person after lying about their looks beats me but it happens...I've heard the stories!
~ Don't tell a girl you don't care if she is a "little curvy" and then complain because the curves are not in "all the right places".
~ Don't be so dang judgemental - it's no wonder you're single!
~ Finaly - stop taking those dating websites so seriously!

Cheers!

This thread is hilarious. Whats also hilarious is that some people post pics of when they were 25 years old and now they are a little over 50. Or when a guy sends a woman a picture of his genitals. Also, the guys that pretend to be some other guy for many , many months. And the guys in chat rooms that ask "I have a big co*k, wanna cam?" The answer is NO.

The funniest/saddest thing about dating sites is the people who "shade" the information about themselves but are offended when others do the same! Just be who you are cuz if the person doesn't want to meet the real you why would you think they would stay around after the first meet up?

I know a few girls and guys who have tried the eharmony thing. Always hear the same thing. A girl will get at least five different communications a day and a guy gets an average of one a month.
