PhillyDude Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 But when I would use 3 or 4 different photosI would not get many replies at all. I noticed when I use the 4 photos one at time they generate more replies but when I use them all together no replies. Anyone use ONE online photo?
alethean Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Hmm. I have no idea. Maybe whoever is looking does not like one of your other pics for whatever reason. Or maybe they think you're vain or attention-seeking when you put up more pics. Or maybe when they see one pic, they like what they see and the fact that there is only one provides an air of mystery. So then they want to see more pics, so they reply. ...Who knows? I sure don't. Just do what works for you. If it's helping you more just to have one photo up, then you probably should just keep one photo up.
Jazzari Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I had several photos up - never used just one so I don't know. But I personally prefer someone who has more than one photo to share. Maybe its because I'm a girl, but I'm not looking for mystery. I want to clearly see the person I'm interested in.
ladyinlimbo Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 No idea why you're experiencing this. What I've heard and read is that people prefer to see more than one pic. I know I prefer to see more than 1 because a lot of people who post fake pics only have one......or lots who post only one are posting one that's very old (their "best" old pic, and they no longer even look like this anymore). I like a variety of pics, not just to 'see' the person but often the pics one chooses showcases their interests and such; travel pics? all bar/drinking pics? (yuck, not interested) etc. I guess do whatever works for you!
ladyinlimbo Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 You can't have a stable relationship with a person who has insatiable wanderlust. One person I came across couldn't even list one place as their hometown. Always boozing and partying is kind of creepy. I agree about the travel pics. I'm not a big traveler and if I come across a profile that contains mostly travel pics, while I respect the fact that that person enjoys travel and new places/cultures, I know they wouldn't be a match for me. Yes, boozing and partying is a turn-off. I'm in my early 40s so I would fully expect a guy at this age to have outgrown that scene. Same goes for pics guys post with them and hot babes. Tacky, tacky. I pay attention to the background in pics, too. Have seen plenty of pics where the guy is taking a pic of himself and the background is like an episode of Hoarders; crap everywhere, piles of stuff, dirty dishes, etc. No thanks, we wouldn't be a match. Same goes for guys who post pics of their Hummer or sports car. Flash and arrogance are a total turn-off to me. Besides, I'm a truck girl anyway :-)
Jazzari Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I do think you have to be careful in the types of pictures you post. I had many responses, then uploaded a few more pics. My responses dropped drastically. Then it occured to me that one of the pics showed me with my toddler niece. People saw the pic and didn't bother to read any further to find out she wasn't mine. I removed the pic, and the responses zoomed back up again.
Jazzari Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 If you are looking for children then putting up pics of you with your niece might be a good call. It helps filter out the mismatches. You could scare away some who don't want to be a daddy or married on the first date but certain sacrifices are a necessity.Thanks, but I'm not looking to have children or get married right away. I'm actually with someone now and have taken my profile down.
