Profile Pics

Here's a little confession. Occasionally, I peruse dating sites, just to see if there's anything good out there. So far...there's not.

But ohhh, the comedy that can be found on those sites. Primarily when it comes to the profile pictures.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're trying to make a good first impression to catch the eye of that "someone special", shouldn't the picture that you post be your BEST one???

Not so on these sites.

Oh, if I had a dollar for every picture of a dude that's taken in a mirror, or with the "ex" cropped out, yet her arm is still in the picture over his shoulder or wrapped around his neck, or with his shirt off (urgh!). Oh, and then, there are the blurry ones. Seriously men...what message are you really trying to convey with the pics. Lemme give you a hint...it's the WRONG message!

PLEASE...let a sistah help you out...

Buy a CAMERA...learn how to set the self timer, and take a DECENT picture. Then post that.

Heck, who knows...maybe some of these "fancy phones" even have a self-timer feature.

Or get a friend to take your pic. But stay out of the mirror!!! Those just don't look good. You can be the finest man on earth but if your profile pic is of you in the mirror, I'm skipping right on to the next profile.

Now...Let the DIALOGUE begin! Say Cheese, and tell me...have you ever posted a picture on an online dating site?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
