[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious what everyone else says in their OLD profiles to make themselves stand out?  The laundry lists of what you don't want make you look unhinged,  so I don't see a problem with posting what you DO enjoy.  Besides,  99% if the decision is based off of the photo and then the presence of obvious deal-breakers (children,  smoking,  location,  relationship goals,  etc).  [/quote]

My profile did not have a picture, but I gave a verbal description of my looks, height, weight, and said something along the lines of “will happily provide a picture if you give me a good reason why you need it”.   Had enough takers and interesting conversations followed by dates, but ended up meeting my husband through my hobby.   However, not having a picture turned out to be a good screen.  [/quote]

I’m surprised people bothered.  There are so many people out there and why go through the effort of convincing you I have a good reason to get your picture when there is a reasonable chance (based simply on numbers and probabilities) that I won’t be interested five seconds after receiving it - and I would say the same to someone seeing my pic, so this is not a matter of being cocky.  There is a reason most people of both genders scroll through quickly.[/quote]

That was 15 years ago, before all the swiping.     [/quote]

I’m PP.  I met my spouse online 13+ years ago.  Even then, pre-swiping, I would have never reached out to someone without a picture, particularly if someone had a comment that I had to earn the picture.[/quote]
