because topless pics of women may not be acceptable on a dating site?

^ what's wrong with the dog pic for Ba'al sake? Seriously, even a such casual pic can be a reason for a woman to exclude him?

*sigh* one can never win with your gender. :roll:

JM, maybe it's better to just put a blank pic.


Again, it' a UK thing. People over here are waaaay more restrained. Unless they are drunk. But anyway, just accept that it's like that.


Btw I am serious about the non pic choice.

I had 3 phases of okc, and it's marked by change of pics while the content changed slightly.
The first phase I was still having the super skinny typical geeky look: total failure, zero reply, zero interest.
Phase 2, pic removed, blank, I had some replies and chats, go figure. No dates tho.
Phase 3, after working out I've posted a shirtless pic and...boom! date after date for a year.

Phase 4: It's now, I am not anymore active in messaging nor that interested :lol:


I fail to comprehend your problem.

Imagine you are a woman and all of the above applies to you (except substitute shirtless for bikini).

Women are people too and OKC is a plastic medium for meeting people with whom you hope to have a meaningful relationship.

methinks you are just too picky and a bit of a diva [why don't they make an eyebrow wiggle icon!]


I don't get what the 'women are people too' has anything to do with what I said, nor I implied otherwise.

My point was giving JM pic ideas (ie. no pic lol).

Yes women are people too and judge by looks just as much as men do.

If I were you I would change the profile pic since I can't really see your face well on that pic

:) I'll try to get more pictures with a clearer shot of my face and body in the pic.
Things are going okay I guess, I had 2 conversations so far which I didn't have to initiate. None of the girls I've contacted have contacted me back, though.
Maybe it's my writing style. Or the fact that my messages are longer than a frickn' Tweet or Facebook status.

On a side note, made a POF account. Let's just say OKC and POF are at opposite poles from each other in terms of dating pools..
Almost every girl I've seen on PlentyOfFish can't spell, says the same thing as each other, and mostly pics of them wearing lots of make up and skimpy dresses in a club getting drunk. They then go on to ask that they only want serious people not looking for fun.. :lol:

I don't know what it is with today's youf. My town on a Saturday evening is like an outtake from the auditions at the porn industry convention. I see these really beautiful young women dressed in hooker wear tottering on heels so high they are defining gravity to stay upright and all the males and all the females cluster in confused groups oggling eachother suspiciously. I've never stuck around to see what happens next, but if everyone is on OKC or POF, it can't be going all that well for them. Maybe people need to stop treating dating like a shopping exercise and just go out and get to know some people..

Ok, I gotta be honest with you, in 2 of your 3 pics, it looks like you are smiling with a whole lot of food or drink in your mouth (even when in reality I know you're not having any food in there duh), I'm not sure if this is your natural smile, but I've seen some pictures of you not smiling like that when you smiled or laughed.

I hope this doesn't come over as offending, because that's not my intention.

Just saying what I think, perhaps it's just my sole perception of it, I dunno, but it might be useful for sites like OKCupid I think.

The profile is perfect what concerns the rest though.

Although, maybe you should keep the smile to filter out the vain girls being creeped out and/or offended by it.

You're a nice guy, I'm surprised you haven't found someone yet, someone will come long.

The girls over here are bright orange with black eyes.

Even a lot of celebrities are doing it now, the orange skin thing. It looks stupid!

And what makes it funnier are that some of these people look down on you as if they're a better race. :lol:

Do you see these people a lot in public too (during the day)? Or just in clubs or bars?

I don't see any of those dimwits here, I guess it's just not a trend here.

These people are in my town. :( They look trashy, and yet they look at you as if you're below them. Men and women. Men have this awful thing going on with their hair where they comb it over. I hope in future they all look back at themselves and realise how ridiculous they looked.



The future is orange. The future is Essex. :lmao:
