I see. But I still don't get it. You're not ugly; quite the contrary. I mean, I like your style and sarcasm and all, but some people might not like it. THAT is the only thing I can think of for the lack of success. But if you say they're ok with it, and don't want you when they see your picture... I mean, WTF, you're a good looking guy.

I'm not comfortable posting my picture on the internet. I'm "sure" I'd be rolling in poon if I did ( ;) ) but you're all going to just have to keep imagining me as some kind of fusion of Humphrey Bogart and Morgan Freeman

I do not have many pictures available to share with other people since I loathed my appearance after elementary school. However, I believe I would be more comfortable getting my picture taken since I have made improvements. Now only if I could socialize, maybe the opportunities would present themselves.

Oh well, just for fun I decided to take a picture of myself, and since I am sensitive to bright lights, I resemble a zombie. So that is my excuse.

Now, how good-looking or how ugly I am is all speculative :lol:

But this experience is self-evident and real.

Once upon a time I did post a picture of myself on an internet forum, and I felt very exposed. Fortunately that forum shut down and took all the photos with it, but it's not an experience I want to repeat. There's only one forum on the net where I use my real name, and I had a good reason for that at the time. It won't be long now, though, before I leave it.

In the spirit of this thread, I've changed mine. Think I prefered my classy hippo avatar though.

Anyway, Interesting what Boo says about OKCupid, as, slightly embarassingly I've been getting no replies either with pictures up. You would have thought people with no pictures would get overlooked, not the other way around. Curious.

There isn't anyone local to me on here anyway - male or female.


Same here :lol:.


Well...except for 1 user who's originally from my country.

I once smoked a pipe. Pipes ace cigars; pipes are all class.
