Guys with profile pictures next to hot girls


Recommended Posts

I posted this in the profile picture thread but I honestly just want more responses.

 

Nearly half of the profiles I come across have a picture of the guy standing next to one, but usually two or three really beautiful women. You can usually tell by the picture if they are actually friends, or if it's just a group of hot ladies he found at a party, or bar, or whatever. I don't really understand why someone does this.

 

Is it trying to say:

 

1.Hey, look at me, I get really hot chicks because I'm a stud?

2. These women are hot, but they already have boyfriends or otherwise won't date me. I want a woman who looks just like this.

3. Women love me! You'll love me too!

 

Or am I missing the point? Because I'd think if I posted a similar photo, of me with three really hot men all over me, it would make me look ridiculous.

 

Sometimes the caption will say "me and my best friend" or "me and my sister" and that's fine- I don't really care if guys have female friends.

 

Opinions? Am I missing something? Do I need to go out on Saturday and grab some studs to take a photo with me, so I can post it on my profile stat :laugh: ?

Naw..if they were regular looking girls, I'd agree with that one. But these are like, strategically placed photos. Right between the one of him jumping over fire during a tough mudder run- or any tough mudder action shot- and him running a triathlon, or rock climbing, or surfing...none of these profiles are lazy.

Most men like to show off their power and the things other men can't always have (nice cars, women, expensive watches, money, expensive whisky, etc...). Not much of a science here. but sure, some just cross the line by showing off TOO much, and that's when it becomes ridiculous.

See this a lot with promo models. I think they basically just think the chicks are hot and that's that. No deep thoughts involved.

The question is not 'why do they do it' but 'are women impressed by it'?

 

I suspect on a subconscious level one of the criteria a woman will judge a man by is the attractiveness of his social group.

Ick.

 

Does that answer your question? :p

 

Right up there with bare-chested photos.

 

Bigger ick!

Some of them think there studs but in reality there not. To a man that really knows woman....that really knows them, there not but man pretending to be someone there not. Social groups sometimes are hidden agendas. Some people hide what they really are behind social groups. Thats why I've never been one for the social group thing......It's almost as bad as the fakebook thing. If you know what i mean.

If the guy is doing all of these things then more than likely goodlooking women flock to him so it's believable. Why do you care?

It's all about communicating social proof in order to attract other women. Women want men who other women desire. I once had a friend who called it 'seagull theory': "women are like seagulls; when they see another one pecking they all come swooping in".

 

Don't take photos with other men. A double standard, yes! But whereas women desire men who other women desire, men desire women who close themselves off to other men except for him.

It's a huge turnoff for me. Anyone who has anything to prove looks insecure and shallow.

Where is the profile picture thread????

 

It's called online dating profile turnoffs. It is many pages long. It's on here somewhere.

I must be an anomaly because when a man does something (like posting himself with hot girls)... in an attempt to impress me....the exact opposite happens.

 

I am NOT impressed and am, in fact, turned off.

 

I dislike and become turned off by anything contrived (including posting pics of himself bare-chested as well.)

 

I once had a guy pick me up in a Ferrari (sp?) and told me he rented it for our date (hoping to impress me). Needless to say, I was NOT impressed....I was actually embarrassed to be seen in that car...and never went out with him again.

 

What impresses me most is a man who is genuine and real with no pretenses and who is confident enough in himself and his own uniqueness to know that he DOES NOT need to do anything special to impress me -- other than just being HIMSELF.

 

There will either be chemistry between us or not. And that chemistry will not be based on superficial crap like how many other women are into him, or how he looks with no shirt on or what type of car he drives, etc..

It's not that difficult to get hot women to pose in a photo with you. The type of women I'm talking about specifically wear the outfits they're in, with the makeup they have on, and spend who knows how long making their hair look extremely perfect, and get plastic boobs installed- for the sole purpose of being attractive and attracting attention. If you see a group of these girls out and about, be the guy to buy them a shot and take a photo. It's that easy.

 

Why do I care? I'm judging whether or not I want to talk to these guys. My assumption is that guys who do this look desperate, shallow, sleazy, but I didn't want to assume. I'm asking for other opinions in case I'm missing something.

I have to admit, when a guy I already like does try to impress me, I think it's endearing. But he should be trying to impress me in more substantial ways. This stuff about fancy cars and hot women is really really shallow. Shallow, desperate, sleazy, it's just overkill.

 

If a guy rented a ferrari to take me out, I'd be like- so, I would have much rather you picked me up in your prius and spent that money on just about anything. Wow, that's crazy.

I'd be interested to see how many women respond positively to this vs. negatively. I had a couple pictures with hot women (all friends, not random women) on my profile. Did that help or hurt my profile results? I don't know.

 

I do have positive experiences from hanging out with these women in offline environments. Whenever I went somewhere with my wingwoman (who definitely falls into the hot girl category), I received more attention from the ladies than when I went alone.

Ah, perfect! You're just the guy I'm looking for. So, answer the question. Why did you post the pictures with your hot friends? Random accident? It's the only decent photo you have of yourself?

It was a recommendation from several of my female friends.

Oh I agree.... I was talking about initial impressions.

 

Viewing an on-line profile, first date, first meet....those types of things.

 

Once we've established we have chemistry and will be dating...then yah all those little things he does that bring a smile to my face, and draw me in I LOVE.

 

And vice versa!!!

Put up this picture of me with you on your profile. Is that how that went?

No. They went through the pictures on my phone and picked out some good ones. The pictures didn't necessarily include the woman doing the picking.

The guy's mistake is including more than one woman in the photo. More than one means they only see him as a friend, nothing more, that's why they can all be together.

If the women are young, could they be daughters?

Maybe he just has hot friends. What's the big deal?

 

It's better than taking a selfie or posing with a bunch of dudes.
