I can only assume that some people on dating apps subscribe to the view that if you put your least flattering photos on your profile then people won't be disappointed when they see you in the flesh...
I have a random selection of photos that give a brief snapshot of what I'm into.
Can't understand people who have a main photo that is badly cropped and also just looks terrible.
Ditto people with lots of group photos so you have to try and spot which person is in every photo and then assume they're the person who might turn up to the date.
Then there are the ones who take great pride in announcing that every photo has been taken since last Friday on the basis that clearly people can go from hot to hideous in the space of a couple of weeks.
The current Mr Meh's first photo on bumble was almost 10 years old. Which explained why he looked like a completely different person in some of his other photos.
Weirdest thing I ever saw was a lass on tinder who led with a photo of her breastfeeding. That caused me to do a double take as my brain was doubting that was what I was actually seeing.
I also don't get why people lead with a photo of something like a meme or a landscape that doesn't actually have them in it. Do these people not know how the game works? Or maybe they think an air of mystery will attract people.

it is a bit of a minefield tho isn't it
you don't want to look much better than you are because that will freak the person out but you don't want a worst day photo because ew flick flick
I have been thinking about internet dating
probably can't hack it tbh

Why false advertise? It's a waste of everyone's time including your own.

I've seen the ones you have no photos of themselves and just a selection of random other pictures.

1. Photo of yourself in a snood and ski googles to show you are rich enough to ski
2. Photo of yourself in sunglasses and sand scarf whilst sat on a camel to show how well travelled you are
3. Photo of you with all your mates to show how friendly and popular you are
4. Photo of you from behind staring out from the top of a mountain to show how deep you are
meaning I have no clue what you actually look like

I've never been on a camel so 2 is out and I don't really look deep.

Does that mean I need to take down my Village People style photo of me in construction wear in a trench?
