I can't tell TBH. It looks just like a face to me.

Those are older . This one is from today. I took it bc girls said I didn't have clear facial pictures(which i think was crap).

I'm more focused on the fact that it was taken at low resolution with a webcam.

To me, in the 2nd pic your expression looks a bit troubled (but not creepy). I really like the 5th pic; it's engaging and I think you look good in it. You get to display a few of them in the profile; right? I mean; the dog's got to stay on display.

Yeah the resolution is rather low and the lighting leaves your face in shadows; can't see your eyes. If you want a great picture, an easy way to get a real nice natural one is to get someone with a good digital camera (an iPhone or good droid will do), get some outdoor natural light, and you talk to them about something you really like, and they just take pictures of you as you talk. Do this for about five minutes and then scroll through the pics they shot and your apt to find some really great shots where you look naturally you and a shot like that can say a lot.

I used this technique for a friend that wanted a pic for a dating site and he felt stupid doing this at first, but i asked him questions and got him talking; he got more comfortable with it and we ended up capturing a great shot that he was really happy with.

Happy Hanukkah btw.

happy hanukah to you too. This is the best camera I have as of now, and no friends to take my picture either....although ican make a video of my self talking and do snapshots. I guess I am weird but i actually think the cam is decent quality. I must be the only one but I have a hard time telling the difference between 480 pi and 1080pihd.

I personally don't think it's a very good picture. The lighting isn't very good, and your expression does look a little intimidating. I'd recommend trying to get a bit better lighting and show a happier expression!

Apparently many people on these dating sites prefer pouting and frowning... :duh: I don't get it...

...I suppose lots of girls will also like your ultra-mega-confident "I'm so #@$^ sexy!" approach to your profile... Definitely not my cup of tea, regardless of gender.

Your pics do give a bitof a creepy loner vibe. Mostly due to being self shots taken indoors with nobody in sight. Having outdoors, happy-ish pics with friends will make you look better even if physically they arent as attractive.

Off topic, but did you notice that when you copied and pasted your OkC profile into that one, this slipped through...

"Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I’m an empty essay... fill me out!"

And some layout formatting would be good :)
