I hate having my picture taken so pics with gfs are all I have where I'm actually smiling and looking at the camera.proninja said:Dude, seriously, do you try to screw things up?

All the pics I ever used were just me, but I had a buddy who iDated and he almost exclusively posted pics of him with other women...his theory was that it sent a subtle message "this is the caliber of women I hang with, so make sure you measure up"...don't know how effective it was, he's been dating the girl he met online for a few years and is desperately looking for a way out...so YMMV

you realize that Windows has a simple picture editor that has a crop function that works just fine, right?I hate having my picture taken so pics with gfs are all I have where I'm actually smiling and looking at the camera.proninja said:

right click on the pic, select "open with" and then select "Microsoft Photo Editor"once in select the tool that is a dashed-line square, use it to highlight what you want (drag a rectangular shape around what you want to keep), and then right click inside the rectangle and select "crop"... save as and you are good to go, no more girls in your pic...if you want, also, you can e-mail me the pics and I can do it, I'm 100% ok with that, it seriously takes 30 seconds a picture...nopeyou realize that Windows has a simple picture editor that has a crop function that works just fine, right?I hate having my picture taken so pics with gfs are all I have where I'm actually smiling and looking at the camera.proninja said:
thanks, if i decide to get back into the ring with this idating thing I'll give it a shot. I guess my only fear is that it would look funny because it's probably obvious I have my arm around somebody or someone else is in the picture too. For now don't worry about it because I don't have the heart to try to date anyone seriously right now and I'm feeling bad for likely making it blatantly obvious on my last few dates that I wasn't serious at all about anything beyond the date. Appreciate the offer though.i guess coming from a girl in havana she's probably right, but i honestly though putting up one or two pics of yourself with obviously attractive girls would make other girls think "hey, if she liked him, he must be all right."

I think it depends on the girl looking at it...some girls probably react positively to the girl in the pic... some probably react negatively...thanks, if i decide to get back into the ring with this idating thing I'll give it a shot.

Something weird about the figure of the one in front too. Weird shoulders/arms.Why do people do this? If you're going to post a pic of you with a friend, make sure the friend isn't way the eff hotter than you.
How is that picture supposed to make me want to date the girl in the back? To get to her friend?

So hot guy from last night? Closed his account as of today. 
Granted, we talked mostly on Yahoo messenger after a couple initial emails, so I guess I will see if he logs back into Yahoo.

yeah, I have to say there is no better strategy to picking up a guy than showing him another woman's boobs...All right since I was a little intoxicated and bored out of my mind I looked through a site quick and felt those little jumpy feelings for this chick: http://www.plentyoffish.com/member1622080.htm#in
Definitely my type, so my question is what is a good opening e-mail so I don't scare this chick off with talks of pedophiles and how freaking awesome I am.

any ideas? I mean other than the fact that she's a student, what exactly could I say???

Huh, thanks I think. You know how you just "know" when you see a girl that 1) she looks great and 2) somehow you can tell she'd like you back? I've had that feeling with all of my past gfs and I got it when I saw this girl's picture. It could be the booze, but I like her. So, yeah, I'm actually looking for someone to type out an actual e-mail for me... any takers?
The "go4itbaby" name doesn't turn you off??? I think with this chick I'd maybe give her some attention and actually comment on how she looks because it seems to me that's what she's going for.

18? I guess you could ask how how her high school graduation went.

I'm only 23, 18 isn't that bad...although I'm kind of worried she's still in high school since that is completely possible at this time of year...18? I guess you could ask how how her high school graduation went.
wait wait are you saying this chick isn't that hot??and i don't know man, lost time i sent messages while drunk was a complete disaster
It's also bad that I only seem to give this crap a shot when I am wasted, alone, with nothing better to do.
her name is "go4itbaby"You're an intellectually bright guy. So I'm not sayin', I'm just saying.I'm only 23, 18 isn't that bad...although I'm kind of worried she's still in high school since that is completely possible at this time of year...18?

Damn you are thick headed when you are drunk. No, I am not saying she isn't hot. She's appears to be quite good looking. What I am saying is that from what little she provided in her written description, I would anticipate that she has a personality that would be drawn to your personality. Which is why whatever you send her, as long as it is *you*, will be fine.
But I thought my personality was one which scorned girls and thought of them as objects or some #### like that?? JK, but seriously someone write up an e-mail for me so I can copy and paste and guarantee there are no drunk typos or any crap like that.
Oh, and Sweet J I hit the heavy bag awhile last week.

And so what if he didn't think she was hot provided you do? Stop living your life based on what you think other people might think of you! Seriously - you'll be much happier and way less neurotic.
I'm gonna box the guy in like a month. Just giving him ####.But, given your match success story (very cool btw, cute wife
), what type of e-mail would you send here?

Need to see a pic and
at the "first date: whatever"I do caution though with the whole "I'm finished with the bad boys" line - everytime I heard that or some variation was from a girl telling me how promiscuous she had been with a certain set of guys.

dude, she wants "light-hearted, no strings attached sex" - in that all that matters is the pic i'm guessing.not my cup of tea, but sounds like she is exactly the type of person and profile in the pure sex context

No pic in this case = not wanting anyone she knows to stumble upon "am not looking for a relationship, just light - hearted, no strings sex." Can't really fault her for that.http://www.plentyoffish.com/member2510366.htm#in

First off - I wouldn't send one tonight. It's 11:30 (where you are) on a Saturday night. Wait until tomorrow. The exception to this would be to play up the fact that you can't believe you're emailng a girl from an idating site on a Saturday night - how pathetic is that? Unfortunately, I don't think you've got the right tone in your profile and won't be able to pull it off a sarcast self-deprecating way instead of a pathetic self-deprecating way.As for what to say, she tells you to ask her what she does for fun and what she does that's down to earth. Although you should talk about yourself too much, a very brief explanation of what you like to do for fun (sans detail!) or to relax is acceptable here, provided the focus is really on her.
But, given your match success story (very cool btw, cute wife
If it was me, I'd probably make a joke about "eLovely3 Appears on 90 members favorites lists ". Joke around with it. Ask her if it means she's tired of getting random form-letter emails (it's important that yours is not one). I'm way out of practive but I might do something like this:
Hey -
Did you know you're on 90 people's favorites list? That's pretty impressive! I just signed up myself, so, while growing expontially, mine is quite a bit less. Let me check it real quick... hmmm, still 0. Should start climbing any minute now... any... minute...
...
...
Still 0. Dammit. I guess that's only fitting for someone sitting here emailing someone on an i-dating site on Saturday night. Yup, I'm pretty cool alright. Might have something to do with that favorites meter begin stuck on 0
Seriously though, I know what you mean about working hard and playing hard. I'm not in every Saturday night but sometimes you just gotta recharge the battery. I'm starting my 3rd year of law school in a couple weeks so I called it an early night. So, you told me to ask, so what do you do when you're playing hard and working hard?
Anyway, 90 is impressive. Hopefully, I stand out from the other 90 carbon copy boring emails you've gotten and I catch your interest and my favorite count might even change to 1. I promise that if we get that far, we won't go to a movie on our first date.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if more hot chicks than ugly chicks went without pictures. You'd think an ugly chick would want to avoid wasting everybody's time. And hot chicks can tell themselves "if he won't talk to me without seeing my picture, than he's too shallow for me anyway."I meant the:"must be taller than 5'8", hot, not obese, and have pictures"...http://www.plentyoffish.com/member2510366.htm#in

We'll see what happens. I know sober tomorrow I'm not sending any messages. And I liked the look of that girl so at least I got a message out which wasn't a total disaster.
