Long story short, joined OKCupid - Single dad, Short to Average height (5'9, not ugly but not attractive, average wage at office based job (very geeky job so no women at work) and overall the kind of person who doesn't stand out from any crowd, let alone one trying to find a prospective mate online...
However, I have the most mind blowingly adorable son, who got his looks all from his very attractive mothers side. Huge blue eyes, mop of brown hair, and the cutest smile you could find on a 3 year old. I joined OKCupid but feel very lost in the crowd of desperate men all of which are either better looking/better paid than me, and starting a conversation which is meaningful in that kind of situation is tough. My friends wife recently suggested putting up some pictures of myself with my sprog because she agrees he's a little stunner, and going from there with meeting people (I have no trouble aiming for a meaningful relationship with a single mum, I love kids) and she thinks he could be a huge selling point.
Do you gals think this would be a bit unreasonable, featuring him in my photos/profile? I'm semi justifying it to myself by considering that if someone were to be in a relationship with me, he would be a huge part of their life, I have him pretty much all weekend every weekend, so it woudl be worth them seeing him/knowing about him. But then again it somehow feels sneaky for some reason.
Could I get some honest opinions?
