I was left thinking, "Wow, this really takes it to a whole new level." But before I get to that...When posting pictures on your online dating profile (which I've discussed in other posts), one of the things I advise against is posting pictures of anything other than YOU! That includes lovely landscapes, cars, your dog, you get the point. My best guess is that these people want to show you their interests. Let's be real, people want to see what you look like. In your profile, you can tell us all about your canine "child" or your trip to Alaska. We'll ask to see pictures of those things once we start dating, which won't happen until I know if I'm physically attracted to you!
Here's where things really got out of control. I came across a profile with a few pictures. Mind you, there are a limit to the number of pictures most sites permit you to post, so it's not like there's an endless number of pictures you can post. This guy chose to use one of his photo slots for a picture of a squirrel. Yup, a squirrel. Albeit, it was some type of freak-of-nature white squirrel, which this guy seemed to think was pretty cool.
Some guys get it half right...they post pictures of themselves. The problem is, they also take the picture of themselves and it's usually in a bathroom. Yes, the seemingly ubiquitous bathroom mirror shot is really catching on. However, here's what took it to a whole new level. I found a guy who took the bathroom pic in a PUBLIC bathroom! Are you kidding me?! No, no, NO! No to the bathroom pics and a double no to public bathroom pics!
Take Away Lesson: On your online dating profile, the photos should only be of you...and shouldn't be taken in public bathrooms.
