Is anyone here seeing an increased amount of selfie pictures on dating profiles? I've actually seen a woman with 5 to 7 pictures in her gallery ALL selfies from the above angle.

 

Doesn't anyone have a friend that can take a picture of them? :laugh:

It's far easier to take a selfie than to ring someone up to aim a camera at you.

 

Years ago I had professional pictures taken. I didn't have a cellphone then.

Agreed.

 

I've never been one of these people to take lots of 'pictures' or whatever.

 

So, when I tried out online dating, I just took a few selfies and that was that.

 

I still got interest. And the interest significantly spiked when I uploaded a shirtless picture.

 

Don't believe all that you hear.

 

Why are you bothered that a girl uploads selfies anyway? I would get annoyed at the profile pictures that didn't really show the girl, so that I couldn't assess her. Stuff like pictures of her underwater used to really get on my nerves.

If a woman takes a selfie a whole bunch of times every time you're out with her, yes its annoying.

 

A handful on a dating site though wouldn't bother me. Its an easily accessible way to take some pics without bugging others.

Well I happen to be someone who finds scads of selfies incredibly annoying, especially when they're posed in front of a mirror.

 

I mean, one or two is fine but some people just get ridiculous with it.

 

I was casually dating a guy who was obsessed with selfies and would send me the same stupid pose in the same mirror with same smirk on his face just in different clothes. Every time I got one it made me like him a little less and less. And he was 47!!!!

 

And I get just annoyed when men I barely know start asking me for selfies. I have a few but I'm not going to sit there and start snapping a bunch of pics of myself for anyone, especially on demand.

 

That's why I'm on a dating site...to D.A.T.E. You wanna see me? Then call me up, set a date and I'll be happy to showcase all my duck face poses in person :p

OMG, I got the same kind of interest spike when I posed shirtless too!!!!!

 

Who would have thunk it?

 

:p

Because if you google "Myspace angle shots", they do it to hide the amount of weight they are trying to hide. When they take it from above their heads, it makes them look thinner and isn't an accurate representation of what their body looks like.

I see your point :laugh:

 

I just think there are so many more annoying things, that I was really happy to just see a selfie.

 

Seriously, pictures of her kid. Pictures of her underwater. Pictures of her a mile away on the beach at sunset. All of these were common profile pictures on Tinder.

 

But yeah, a good picture from a more objective angle is the best.
