I have a comment about thephoto suggestionarticles...


I don't look at profiles without photos - I close them immediately. Regardless if it's considered shallow, I see no point in wasting time if I am completely unattracted to someone.


The second situation that makes me close a profile immediately is when I see photos of men with other women (unless they're family). Why would I be attracted to a man with an ex, other women, or abimbette attached to him? Why would I be attracted to a guy with floating hair or floating handson his shoulder (often I see pictures of men with all of the woman cut out but her hair or hands/arm)? I wish they'd take the time to do a better job...

Robert Craig didn't give two secrets the pros know that really spark up the photo:


1. If you are a woman, a full-body pose should involve an "S" shape, generally.


2. Men should have more sharply angular poses.


These poses give the shots an attractiveness that the viewer is drawn to, but can't put his finger on exactly why.

Can you give examples of an S shape or angular pose? Are you standing, sitting, leaning against a wall, over a table or car?


And what about the hand position around the face? I see that all the time - chin on knuckle, hand against cheek, etc. Is that a little too posed?

I can't upload my photo, it keeps on coming up as an error. I haven't had problem uploading photos on other sites and for other occasions. I have sent my photo as attachment to eharmony and so far no joy.


Can anyone help me?


Thanks

Physical attraction is not paramount for me, but as a fairly active individual couch potatoes drive me crazy! Usually, after 20 or 30 years of sitting on the couch, any attractiveness you might have had has faded away into the extra pounds. Also, I consider sexual compatability to be very important to a healthy relationship because sex supplies a good deal of the intimacy that holds a relationship together. That said, sex can mean anything from aheart-felt hug to a flirty or invitingwink to actual bedroom time. If I don't really like being near you, how can I be close to you? Post a photo and help us both to not waste time in the wrong relationship!
