Actually yes, in many (not all) cases I do. I've seen _some_ profile pics on here that show a woman's chest, but have her head cropped out, & I'm thinking "Great - you have boobs. That *doesn't* exactly make you unique, ya know?" OR, which leaves me asking myself WTH?? What are you hoping to attract??

Or I wonder if maybe she's just sloppy, & I ask if she performs her job in the same manner that she posts her picture...

I guess if you would have asked me the same question when I was in my early-20s, I might have answered a bit differently...


Valeris - AAIIIIIGGGHHHH!!! There was no call for that!!



Yeah, but we keep hoping...

Uhhh... OK, I'm pretty sure that this qualifies as my "WTH??" moment for the day.

To the OP: As Dodo_David has said, this isn't a modeling site, it's advertised as a dating site (and not the financial-transaction kind of "dating"). Posting scantily-clad pics of yourself will only attract the unwanted kind of attention. But good luck though.

EDIT: (Unless you're a scammer, & you attract other scammers to interact with you - in which case, I hope that the momentum continually increases until it reaches some kind of BS-fueled singularity which sucks all involved into an inescapable vortex. THAT would be freakin' COOL!)

WOW. My first response is to say that if I was married, I'd be saying "Adios darlin', don't let the door hit ya on the way out!". A promise is a promise, after all.

BUT, as I've gotten older, & seen some of the things that life throws at people, I guess I've gotten (fractionally) better at "seeing grays". I know one couple that love each other deeply, but the sex just isn't there any more (and yes, *that* was a mess that I didn't want to get pulled into... ). What do you do in that case? Do you walk away from someone you love, or abandon your sex life?

I probably still wouldn't tolerate it in my own relationship, but I've started to realize that there's usually a LOT of things I don't know about peoples' situations. (And yes, I know that's probably an unsatisfactory answer...)

I've been working in I.T. since 1995, and I've always had an interest in the security portion of the work, so I've kept up on it over the years. Because of that, I *immediately* refused to watch any episodes of CSI Cyber, because (like mightymoe) I thought "That's all Hollywood bull-crap" & that I'd spend so much time picking apart the idiotic inaccuracies that I wouldn't enjoy it. Then I got roped into watching a couple of episodes.

I was wrong. I've only watched a couple of shows, but I was *honestly surprised* at what a good job the writers did of translating relatively-recent attacks into non-technical "consumer-grade" entertainment.

BOTH of the examples that you mentioned are pretty trivial to accomplish, you don't need any specialized knowledge beyond how to set up a wireless hotspot, & how to find, download & install freely-available software packages. Want to use that free wireless at your favorite coffee shop?? That might not be such a great idea.

As far as the image information you referenced, here's a Wikipedia link that provides some basic info, and here are a couple of examples of how metadata has "bitten" people who *should* have known better:

Example 1 - See #11 on this page

Example 2 - Seriously?? Google??!?

I lived in the Pacific NW for several years, and learned about the sheer _awesomeness_ of Tillamook's offerings, & specifically THIS one:



When I moved away, that was one of the things that I *really* missed - so you can just *IMAGINE* my reaction when I suddenly discovered it in my local grocery store a few weeks back...

Well, since he went first, I'll chime in with mine.

I LOVE trying new things (within reason):

- I've eaten a dish called "monkey brains" when I was in Africa (turned out it was neither brains nor monkey);
- Beef brains in scrambled eggs (that was *definitely* brain, & not that great-tasting);
- I've eaten tacos from trucks run by illegals;
- I've eaten from street vendors in Mexico;
- I've eaten dried crickets at an Asian restaurant when they brought them out as a kind of an appetizer. They actually weren't bad, obviously crunchy & just slightly sweet.

Having tried all kinds of stuff like that, I've only experienced food poisoning *twice* in my life - and *both* times, I'd purchased kolaches for breakfast (from established stores/restaurants) during the year I lived in Houston!

Working. Same as last weekend, the weekend before that, and... I probably wouldn't know what to do if I had a job that only took 40 hrs/week anymore.

Oh well, I'm not going to complain - I know that a LOT of people have it worse (& no one wants to hear complaining anyway!)

Huh. I guess I'm usually too busy to think about that!

But yeah - when I think about where I am now, compared to how I started out in life... And pretty much everyone that I grew up with... I feel very fortunate & blessed.

Stinkin' double-post...

I've always heard that about the guy - and I was *seriously* bummed to hear of his cancer, he pretty much provided the soundtrack to my younger years. And yeah, I've remembered his birthday when it's come around since he passed on.

Mannnn... Talk about someone who left this earth too soon... Saw him live once, just as he was getting famous - it was a hell of a show.

Great guy, I met him briefly at a book signing in Houston. He was having a lot of fun with people.

I try not to be political here - but THIS was just way too good not to share...

I'm idly considering a trip to Israel early next year. Anyone have any suggestions for me if I do decide to go?? Thanks in advance.

I'll vouch for that - I'd *love* to go back!!

Huh... Have to think about that one...

Sooo... I guess you'll have to pick your nose a bit more gently??

*APPARENTLY* I shouldn't have complained - I just got Lumbergh'd...



(As Bob Seger's "Feel Like a Number" starts playing - that's freakin' PRICELESS!)

I figured it out - 'bad guy always get best TUTUS!'
