Think that you want to see a pic of them taken in front of their car ??

I really don't get that.

Oh yes, I get the ones with tops off too, which I wouldn't mind if their top half was worth looking at.

Did actually have a couple of half decent ones in amongst the crap this morning though, which hasn't happened for a while.

i used to send a pic back if it was dire and they were a bit of an idiot anyhow - saying 'am i meant to be impressed!'

Because their car is an expression of their manhood. They have a big powerful shiny machine with a massive engine and they control it as it roars along at 100 miles an hour.

In caveman days they'd bring down a buffalo, drag it back and you'd be impressed, now they want to show you their turbo x gtz 9.5 sti booster thingie whatsit with the trim and the blah blah and the 3.8 Zzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzz

Basically, it's a penis thing.

I seem to attract nice men, who dont have their pictures up - not even a car or dodgy bed shot!

....cars? Fish?? Really???

Crikey.

.....next time I sign up to such a thing perhaps I should consider posing in front of my ancient Galaxy (nicknamed "Scratchy" by my urchins) whilst brandishing a pack of frozen prawns.

That'll wow 'em.

....on Guardian Soulmates (so far as I recall) the women posed in front of yurts, worked as alternative therapists and listed macrame amongst their hobbies (many seemed to have used this skill to fashion their clothing)....
