Dis Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) It's always bad. I've seen many profiles where the guy has 10 plus pics but he has sunglasses on in almost all of them...or a hat...or they're taken from far away. If the OP's pics arent clear, accurate representations of his appearance... I dont blame the girl one bit. On the other hand if his pics check out...then its just a nuisance When I used to have a FB account, of the women I had as contacts, ALL of them looked better(almost to a point of being unrecognizable) than what they did in real life...I think I read on this site something that's probably pretty true...He(she?) said its more likely to get an "enhanced" picture from a woman than it is from a man..Women seem savvy to the technology involved with enhancing pics, while guys generally don't give a crap about it, so you would be more likely to be "getting what you see"...I dunno, tho..does seem to make some sense anyway...*shrug*..... Agreed! I've even noticed it from some people on this site. Although I've never seen anyone here IRL, its pretty obvi when someone is using a snap filter however subtle it might be Poses can hide things too. A hand always in the same place, or a pic always taken from one side or from an elevated angle Its best to be as transparent as possible so there are no surprises/disappointments when meeting IRL Edited August 7, 2017 by Disillusionment373 1
normal person Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) What do you think? Is it a good/bad sign? Would you give them to her? I never ask for any, if they don't have good pictures in a profile, I just won't respond, but I basically have types of two experiences with girls asking for mine: 1). One time a girl asked for my picture because it turns out she was talking to so many guys she didn't know which one I was. She needed to put the face to the name/number. I didn't know this at the time, but I figured it out later. Ironically, she also used outdated pictures of herself which weren't accurate depictions of what she looked like. 2). Sometimes girls have been real interested ahead of time and wanted a picture and often to FaceTime. I figure it's because they're a little younger (24-26 and I'm 30) and maybe that's just what younger people do these days. So I go along, they send one back, we FaceTime, and it's all good. I don't see any harm in it. What do you think? Is it a good/bad sign? Would you give them to her? To be honest, I really don't see what the problem is with it. She might just want to make sure you're not wasting her time, or wants an additional degree of familiarity, or is just being a little flirty. I think it's kind of fun when they ask for more pictures, (I at least thought) it usually means they like what they saw in the profile and want to see even more. So who cares? The upside is when they ask for one, you get to ask for one back. Then there's all the "oh wow, you're cuuute," heart-eye emoji, joking around back and forth stuff. I think it's fun and kind of sexy and helps build rapport. If you're not hiding anything, I have a hard time thinking of reasons not to do it. The girl in my first scenario was an anomaly, but with all the others it was fun. Getting to see the pictures they don't show just anyone on the profile is kind of a little bonding experience. That being said, it's not the norm. Most girls I've met haven't done this. But with those that have, it's been harmless. Edited August 8, 2017 by normal person
Author seixal Posted August 8, 2017 Author Posted August 8, 2017 A little update I ultimately decided to send a couple of facebook pictures, and apparently what she saw didn't phase her. She didn't suddenly disappear or anything, the conversation kept going. Thank you all for your replies! 2
d0nnivain Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Glad we were wrong & she's still talking to you. Best wishes.
