But you're on a dating site, why not make some fresh? Genuine question, but that's usually just what I do. Like I'll get dressed up in my favorite clothes and take a nice picture to show off a bit. Seems like that sort of approach would only help?
Like I can't think of any reason to add a fish pic unless they're just genuinely proud of it, in which case, fish fearing ladies probably shouldn't apply anyways...
Idk, now I think it's both good to have the fish pic AND create new pics, imo... Helps screen out the people you don't actually want and helps showcase your more preened side, if one exists (and if not, that's also good data for a potential mate to have)
Most men I know usually don't take pictures at all, so we actually don't know how to take a good selfie, or even what it is.
I just don't understand how someone can get on a dating app that's in a phone and not think to take a picture... Like there's a camera in the device that you're using to access the app with.
But fair is fair, it happens, that must be at least part of it, if not all of it. Ty for the explain!
I mean, you can always take a shitty picture. But that's worse than a picture of you holding a fish somehow.
Nah that's one and done mentality. Just gotta take a shitload and random different angles and lightings and one is bound to be good. Same logic as fishing, just keep trying till you catch a good one lol
But I guess at this point I'm only pushing the point as a PSA for anyone who could use the advice. You're right though, a bad selfie is much worse than a good fish pic.
Personally, I did go out and get some new pictures but a lot of guys can't be bothered I suppose.
As for the fishing, it shows that you have interests outside of staying in all day playing video games lol
