Imajerk17 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Related to the opposite-sex friends thing... Online dating: Many women have pictures of them getting way too close to another guy who isn't a male relative. Why do they even have those pictures up? You ladies do get that we don't like those pictures, right? So... why do so many of you have those pictures up in your OLD profile? Is it a test? Are you thinking that, since a guy who has female friends probably has social intelligence/isn't creepy/is reasonably attractive in person, that if you show us you have guy friends, then you have social intelligence/aren't creepy/are reasonably attractive in person?

dasein Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Because they can, they can have pictures of them having sex with animals and still get tons of male attention OLD. That's a male fault more than female IMO. Edit, truthfully, I think they do it as a subtle hint as to the baseline of physical attractiveness they are looking for in a man, or "if you aren't anywhere close to this guy in looks, don't bother." 1
FitChick Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Maybe they don't know how to use the photo editing feature on their computer. 1
FrustratedStandards Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 I think it has something to do with them showing to the world that they are capable of getting a guy. This is probably somehow linked to insecurity, so they post picture of them close to guys so the world can see they are worthy of one. ADD: Also what the first poster said.
oaks Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Because they don't think it's a big deal to post a photo of them with their friend. (and I agree with them: it's not a big deal.) 2
Disenchantedly Yours Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 I only posted pictures of me with male relatives and made it clear that it was my brother or cousin. Guys do this too though. They will post pictures of them with really hot women that are dressed sexy that are hanging on them or they are hanging on and it's always been something that turned me off too. I ususally would not reach out to those guys or would ignore the ones that reached out to me that had such pictures in their profile. I like more low key guys anyway so those pictures didn't fit with the kind of guy I am attracted to anyway. 4
Fondue Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I do not use OLD, but I suspect this is true for BOTH genders. It is funny though. Posting pics with non-relatives being awfully close is comical because these people attempt to show that they can get men/women just fine, yet they resort to online dating. People are falsely overvaluing themselves, and many of us see through this ****. If she/he was truly worthy enough to date people, they wouldn't be resorting from using the internet. Or maybe it's a bit of the opposite. I have a feeling that some of these men/women use the internet as a form of self esteem boost. They probably don't date online and instead have guys/girls on the outside, but use the internet to have anonymous people tell them how hot they are. It's a shame really, because they probably don't get the same attention on the outside and feel inadequate-- which what they probably are, inadequate. I find it hilarious. 3
kiss_andmakeup Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Imajerk17 , wow..... I have the same concern like you. I have been asking myself...why..why..why? .Why the hell they show those pictures for? Telling you man...I hate white girl....they are a whore. Love Asian girl better...exotic and yet loyal. Found cute Asian dating while I was an expat in Singapore. Cari jodoh di jodohgue.com May I request that all trolls from here on out be spam bots with funny broken english? Please?! They're so much funnier than the "cold sore" troll. Ok, back to the topic at hand.

Some of them do it as a cheap shot at their exes. It's their way of saying, "ha ha! The guy in this pic will NEVER be you!"

It's a shame really, because they probably don't get the same attention on the outside and feel inadequate-- which what they probably are, inadequate. I find it hilarious. I feel the exact same way. I tried online dating once (because there's nothing good in the real world) and I closed my account one hour later. I got so many messages from the worst men possible. They were either absolutely disgusting (in attractiveness) or they were hot, but complete cocky assh*les. It was always one extreme or the other (which would explain why they resorted to online dating to begin with).
Raya1234 Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I dont get it, would never do that (I'm a lady). Maybe some do it to show you they are loved by other men, maybe some don't realize it hurts your ego, and maybe some genuinely just love the guy as a friend so much they want to find a guy who is cool with that firsthand.
g450 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah I think that these people that do that are mostly just dumb. When I was doing the OLD thing I found out really fast that more than half the women on there are complete fakes or flakes just looking for an ego boost. Most of them were probably married. But I thank women that do that with their pictures because it helped me weed them out as potential date contacts. Thanks but no thanks. If you are that close and cozy with other guys then all I can say is...NEXT! 1
Emilia Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Because they don't think it's a big deal to post a photo of them with their friend. (and I agree with them: it's not a big deal.) This. She probably thinks it's no big deal as she isn't dating him anymore or maybe never dated him in the first place. It also appears to be a good a filter. If a man is hung up on whom I had my photo taken with, he is waaaaay to insecure and I don't want to hear from him.

Anela Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I've seen men have pictures of themselves with pretty women, too.
