Annoying OLD pictures

OMG I swear about 85% of men post photos in which either:

a) They're wearing sunglasses
b) They're in a group but don't tell you which one they are*
c) They're pulling a ridiculous face

For the love of God, at least make the first profile picture a clear likeness!

Also, they all seem to ski, whereas irl I hardly know anyone who skis.

*I've started making a point of writing to say, for example, "I love your beard!" when the guy in the centre of the frame has a beard but then turns out not to be the one who actually owns the profile.

Anyone else noticed this?

It's been a good few years since I did any OLD but I see it hasn't changed! 😂

My personal favourites were men in fancy dress. I'm not talking about 21 year olds who have just left uni, I'm talking about grown up men in their 30s wearing ridiculous fancy dress costumes.

If they got dressed up for a stag do, or a party, fine, but why on earth do they think that adult women want to see their potential date looking like a complete tool in fancy dress?! It's really not attractive!

Yes, there are a lot where the subtext is, "Look what an absolute card I am!" I don't mind maybe one of these amongst some other decent photos, but if every picture is of them larking around pulling stupid faces I definitely swipe left.

Grown men poking their tongue out - yep that’s hit me swiping right. Or maybe not

Bald men disguising big shiny bonces with hats gets my goat.

Yeah, me and my friends call that 'Hat-Fishing'

I saw one today where he had obviously placed the phone on the ground to take the photo.

Well, what was this artful photo of, I hear you ask, eagerly.

It was him giving the finger.

Why does any grown man think swearing into the camera is what's going to attract a woman??

I also hate the ones that take photos at the gym. Especially if they're pulling up the shorts to show that it's 'leg day'.

Oh, and filters of any kind. Big bambi eyes and blurred skin. Behave yourself.

@Becky37 that's brilliant 😂
