Profile No-No's

If you check out lots of profile photos you may be surprised to see various body parts of ex-lovers showing up, like Lola's hand with a bit of bling perched around Jeff's neck, a piece of her well-toned arm and some wisps of blonde hair still clinging to her discarded boyfriend.  Didn't Jeff consider that may be a turn-off when he posted his picture? And what about Randy who didn't care enough to have an new photo taken and just whited our his ex. Rule #1: don't leave bits and pieces of your old beau behind for all the dating world to see!

Then there are the cellphone bathroom shots.  Why the bathroom?  And if you must, at least clean it up first!  Look at Marty's profile pic.  Shame on him...
Stay out of the bathroom for your photo shoot, away from the washing machine, dirty clothing pile, the tangled mess of wires attached to your stereo or computer, a untidy kitchen or any place that tells more than you really should; i.e, I'm a slob, and I'm looking for someone to clean up after me.  Rule #2:  Take a good look at your photo and remember, you want to attract, not repel!

Your photo is the first thing a prospective date sees, putting your best face forward is vital. That old adage stands true - a picture is worth a thousand words.  Tell us about your photo experiences.  Is what you saw really what you got?
Your comments are most welcome...
