Nursey Jo has devised me a plan. I need to distract myself from certain nobbers in my life. This may not mean by dating other nobbers but dating is allowed, I think.

I need to choose my picture carefully as I seem to present my sexuality soemhow. i need to not do this whilst not appearing too chaste. Can you help advise please or show me your pics with details of dating experiences??

Tis newloife btw.

I'v elways used pics of me that have been taken of me doing somethign natural and not all made up, so a genuine pic rather than a posed one, that way I think men who reply are doing so because they like the sound of me rather than just thinking 'oooh there's a fit bird, I want her'. Does that make sense? Then when they meet me they are pleasently surprised

Thank you so much but I tend to feel I have to sell my soul because my nose is big, my teeth crooked, my arse and legs lardy, my feet too big and my norks sagging and tummy wobbly.

Hi,

I'm also online dating at the mo. Lots of fun!

I have a photo of my face close up as my main photo (taken from a selection of about 50 taken on the same day and it just happens to be a flattering pose!) and then a few of me doing the things I like to do, ie one of me outside at a local beauty spot, one of me a bit tipsy and dancing etc etc. It seems to work quite well. I just have to find a full body shot of me that I like to add to it. You might as well let them know what you look like so there is no surprises later.

I am sure a guy would never notice all your flaws like you do. You seem to be your own worst critic. Go easy on yourself. If you go into online dating with a bit of a complex it might make it evern worse! You have to be strong to be able to enjoy.

PS - have fun!
