I mentioned I like fishing and so I get "matched" with fellas who are holding up fish? Being female and over thinking the whole thing, I wonder what type of fella takes a pic with a fish? Would he like the fish more than me? Would he prefer a woman who resembled a fish? I don't think I have a fishy face. My eyes are rather large, but they don't bulge, I don't have scales, and I don't swim like a fish, more like a drunk trying to keep a float after falling overboard.

I like shoes, but my profile pic does not have me posing with my latest catch?

So, fellas what is up with the fish? And yes, I am a little crazy, in a good way.

I wander that too, what's up with that?
I don't like the smell of fish, touching the fish, even cooking it.
It is a pass for me, when I see the fish on the picture .

I like to fish, but don't eat them. I did this with my dad who is passed away now.

Maybe the only recent photos of those particular men are photos of them with the fish that they caught.

That is indeed possible. I put this in the joke category, but it got bumped over here.

Maybe they are all Douglas Adams fans, I quote "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" from the fourth book of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
So, now top that with stuff that's in the wrong category :)

I need to read those books, sound hilarious! I am sure to get it all wrong again in the wrong damn forum and get put in my place again. *sigh* Not sure that will "top" your quote, but me being me keeps things interesting or is that confusing? Either way, it is something.

Ok, I'll bite!

Part one: I am a guy, and I like to fish, I like to hunt, I like to ride my trucks, 4-wheeler, tractors, cycles, as often as I can.

Part two: I am a guy, and taking pictures is something I rarely think about until after I realize I don't have a camera.

So, because that is what I do so much, if there are pictures of me, they are most likely to be of me with a fish, a deer, my truck, my 4 wheeler, etc.,

A leisurely drive through my pix will show snaps of me at various ages, but with all of those same things. But I never snapped any of them, myself. Everyone of them was taken by my mother, my sister, or the woman in my life.

Photos such as my first car, prom, HS graduation, college sports, were all taken by my girlfriend at the time. Then she became my wife and she took pics of the married me, with my fish, my deer, my trucks, etc.

Then we had babies. For the next 20 years I appeared in no pictures. To look at our albums, you would think I am just some guy who shows up for the group picture at holidays. "Hey, Who's the guy in the sweater that carves the turkey every Thanksgiving." The sweater appears a little tighter each year but it's definitely the same guy.

Since she passed away, the only pix that have been added to my collection are pix of fish and deer, and sometimes, I'm even in them. Now when I get the notion that something would make a nice picture, I just grab my phone. But if I am taking the pic, it is hard to be the subject of the pic. So ladies, we men are here because we have no woman currently in our lives to be in charge of our photo department. And since a man is measured but what he does, you might just have to look at pix of things that from a man's perspective, define who we are. "Well, I tried to add to the conversation, I enjoyed it even if no one else ever reads it.

Fun topic, Thanks!

Thank you for that explanation! I thoroughly enjoyed it. It all makes sense, now.

As you can tell I can be a rather silly person and humor is the way I express myself and that is why when I first posted this I put it in the joke category, but it got bumped here. :(

I am just glad is not because you fellas have some kind of a fish fetish or something. I can't compete with fish, I lack the bulgy eyes, scales, and ability to swim confidently through the water.

That is funny I almost asked, "What is this pic trying to say? Stick with me babe and you won't go hungry." Sorta like a hunter/gather type thing? ;)

I like the fish pictures better than the no shirt mirror shots where they're holding the camera. It's like they don't even have ONE friend to take a picture of them. spock

Those guys should go fishing. There's pretty good camaraderie amongst fishermen and you'd end up with a fish picture instead of a mirror shot. :thumbsup:

Yes, I hear you. I don't know you well enough mister, so put that shirt back on!! ;) I actually don't mind the fishy pics, my mind just works in strange and unusual ways.
