I'm considering getting back to online dating and in the past I had some negative experiences with my pictures being used without my permission. In one case, I saw my pictures on a different profile (that wasn't mine). In another case, I met a guy once from the site who happened to be friends with someone I know in real life. Well we didn't meet again after the first time but I found out from the mutual friend that he had a picture in his wallet of me (printed from my profile) and was showing it around to people like I was his girlfriend.

 

So I was wondering if it would be weird to watermark my profile pics as an attempt to discourage unauthorized use of my pictures. I know watermark will probably not stop people who have the software and skill to remove the watermark but perhaps it will deter most people like the situations above.

 

Most importantly, I want to know if potential dates who see the watermark would be turned off by it. What do you guys think? Would it bother you to see this?

Considering your previous experience I would stay away from it.
