That Internet dating thing

Well… maybe pissing.

fire:

I can offer a critique without even seeing a picture! ;-)

Yeah, but that’s cheating. grins Besides, my hair’s gotten even longer since last you saw it!

My problem is that I don’t take pictures of myself. Is it creepy to pose specifically for a dating picture?

Ask a female friend to help you with it. Seriously.

One of my sisters took some good ones for me. Not for dating so much as that I just didn’t have any without other people in them.

AaronSofaer · 2010-11-13T11:47:29.000Z

fire, I will have a picture for you to critique (and please, be savage! I have no intention of actually using it) either tonight or Monday, depending on whether A.'s camera will download to my laptop.

It involves me in a mode of dress utterly unlike what you’ve seen before! I fear I may be getting… trendy. spits

AaronSofaer · 2010-11-17T11:07:58.000Z

Alright! Here’s my latest picture for OkCupid (and other sites). It’s not in the top 3 profile pictures, so you have to actually go to my Pictures page to look at it… for now!

It’s captioned: Supposedly looking like a German rocker… in the computer club room.

I should really take another picture with the coat in better light conditions where there isn’t stuff in the background, but that requires having a camera to do it with.

So let’s get some fire critiquery in here!

I’m scared, are you going to hurt me or rape me in your van down by the river?

You can just swap the leather jacket for a denim one and you’ve got the Randall Flagg look down pat.

I think this is concept art for every Rob Zombie anything ever.

Get a haircut and get a real job.

I bet you could write a dating site profile in nothing but White Zombie lyrics and it would get SO much play…

I see you trollin’, son. I see you trollin’.

Zylon · 2010-11-17T12:43:45.000Z

Pretty just posting a picture of the troll face by itself doesn’t count as trolling. Or as anything, really.

WarrenM · 2010-11-17T12:53:46.000Z

No, it means he HAS to be trolling with that picture. It was really that hard to decipher?

AaronSofaer · 2010-11-17T13:00:45.000Z

See, on the one hand, I’m definitely trolling with that picture. And on the other hand, my girlfriend loves it.

Hilarious, I know.

Speak_With_Bread · 2010-11-17T13:53:03.000Z

IS SO CUTE! Yes, he’s trolling, and I friggin’ LOVE it.

…I may or may not have talked him into buying the coat. I am breaking all logical girlfriend rules here.

So true. Now, if we’re going for that approach, where do I find him a pair of cowboy boots, and how do I convince him to wear them?

That sentence doesn’t parse right.

Nice picture of a well-lit door.

Next time, you might want to avoid having that black, man-shaped blob blocking part of the door though.
