I don't do the "rating" thing, per se, but more pics and details about you, likes and dislikes, etc.

Tell us a little more about yourself and explain what is in the tank....or crawling up your arm.
 A few more pics of you having fun would be good too.

Don't worry, it's a
"Pterinochilus Murinus," or orange baboon tarantula. It's harmless. Most of the time. In the pic, I'm moving it from the box it came in to an aquarium. It can smell fear.

Welcome
 Consider using a main picture of you alone. When more than one person is in the main picture, the viewer won't know which person you are until they click your profile. Most people want to know who they are viewing before that point. Use your current pic as part of your album though. Enjoy Mingle  |

Welcome Consider using a main picture of you alone. When more than one person is in the main picture, the viewer won't know which person you are until they click your profile. Most people want to know who they are viewing before that point. Use your current pic as part of your album though. Enjoy Mingle Normally I'd advise the same thing, except more forcefully and abrasively than MG. However, this time I think it's a moot question. The two guys on your picture are equally handsome, and as far as humans are concerned with looks, and looks alone, looks don't count for individuality, they count for goodness. You must have individuality in your character and personality, since those make or break compatibility in relationships. But I don't think that I'd choose a black woman over a Chinese woman or the other way around if they were the same except for the looks, which was also the same in their degrees of goodness. What I mean if I met a Chines doctor and a Black doctor and they had exactly the same amount of money, and they both loved me equally, and they both were a hit with my dad and they were both hated by my Momma instantly, but one was a "9" and the other, a "7", I'd marry the "9", regardless which it was. But if the circumstances were kept constant, while changing the scenario to both being an "8" (individually, not collectively) then I'd not know which to marry.(*) Similarly, on your pic, both guys are a 9-and-a-half, so don't worry, I wouldn't, who is you and who is not. Let the women decide it for themselves. Let me give you another instance of examples. A woman puts an ad in, she is a slim blonde. You meet her on a first date. Scenario 1: In reality she's a fat blonde. Scenario 2: In reality she's a slim brunette. In Sc. 1. you'll get upset, rightly so. In Sc. 2., if you are really a man, you won't even notice the hair color. This proves that it's not the looks, but the degree of good looks, that makes peole like another for their looks alone or not. If it were looks, really, a type of looks, that made peole look, then in Sc. 2. you ought to have got upset just as much as under Sc. 1. Q.E.D. * In retrospect, I should have married both. Oh, well. |

The age range with the two men in photos is too great. One guy is in his 60s and the other guy barely looks 20 years old. For someone who doesn't date at either end of those extremes, it's better to know which person is the actual member. Saying they are both "9"s in looks is subjective. I wouldn't agree with you. Everyone is attracted to something different than the next. The bottom line is when a person is on a dating site for the purpose of meeting someone, a person should use an image of only themselves for a main picture that is current and accurate. It stinks opening a profile only to find the main picture is not representative of the member; a waste of time. We have a hard enough time deciding whether the person is genuine and who they say they are – playing games with photos just ads another layer of mire that is unnecessary. |

Okay, let me see if I can sum up the the points I'm being given.
A)Having multiple people in the photo may confuse others, and deception is all too common on internet dating sites. B)Since both individuals are 9.5 (thanks, btw), it won't make a difference in terms of physical appearance. I should just let individual details in the profile separate me. Let me know if I've got that right. I figured using a pic with myself and another person would look better, but maybe I should have used one with me and my dog. No more spider pics, that's for sure.

The suggestion is only for the MAIN picture. It's fun to include many in your album though. It's not a deception issue as much as "Who is the member and is he my type?" before opening the profile. |

For someone who doesn't date at either end of those extremes, it's better to know which person is the actual member. Saying they are both "9"s in looks is subjective. I wouldn't agree with you. Everyone is attracted to something different than the next. The bottom line is when a person is on a dating site for the purpose of meeting someone, a person should use an image of only themselves for a main picture that is current and accurate. ------- Well, if you already opened the profile of the gentleman, you'll see if his real age is closer to 20 or to 60. If you need more explanation, then you must ask him, which I do admit is a bother. I can usually tell a woman who says she's sixty from all twenty year olds in her pictures. You're right, we are all different. So you say the two are not nine, or one is and the other is not, and at any rate you find the two men in the picture different in level of physical beauty. Please show us now, or tell us, which one is the more handsome in your eyes: The one on the left, or the one on the right. The bottom line is actually codified in the rules, in the terms of user agreement. You can report this new guy for breaking the rules despite our best intentions of saying to him nicely he is an idiot. So you can do that, I won't. I am sorry, Melody Girl, I will not challenge you any more in the future, I promise. I just wanted to say the above, and don't ask me please why I wanted to say that, because I really don't know why I did. Peace out. I'll promise that you never again will have to suffer through a conversation with me, but I ask you to please and not force it next time. Thanks. To help it to be even more easy for you, please note I will not willingly join another conversation in which you are taking part, but only by oversight or by mistake. I beg you to please not get mad at me if I do in the future, because that will be done as a mistake due to oversight. I do this out of my respect for you, and to avoid a possible conflict in the future, because there is nothing clearer than that I will be the only one suffering from that. Oh, I just remembered why I put this entire post here. You challenged me in my opinion, and I found one of you charges, the main one, ridiculous, telling me that a 20-year-old is different from a sixty-year-old, but knowing the age of the poster does not help you decide which he is. I can't believe you can't tell the difference; so I feel that you have a beef against me, and you blasted me on this post, because you've already had negative vibes for me. I can't explain any other way why you would argue against my point with such a ridiculous charge. If you are angry with me, please write to me in a private note why, and we can sort it out, but I resent being charged with ridiculously inane arguments. Also you know that the entire community will support you morally and socially, so I am toast if you and I have an out-and-out. Therefore I find your attack (which was not an attack, only this analysis has shown that it was) very sly and underhanded and unfair. Also saying that one man is more handsome than the other, could or could not be a direct insult to the poster. I don't know why I got so angry because of that. I guess I did not expect that from you, that's all. |

Also saying that one man is more handsome than the other, could or could not be a direct insult to the poster. I don't know why I got so angry because of that. I guess I did not expect that from you, that's all.  I didn't challenge; I simply clarified my statement. You are taking this way out of context and too serious. I am so taken aback at your reaction that I can only giggle. I didn't attack you; I clarified. Oh my! I will clarify one more time. When I look at his thumbnail in the forum, I see two people of greatly different age. I would have to open his profile to see which person is the member. Our ages are NOT visible until we open the profiles. If our ages were to the side of his thumbnail, I could tell if he was the young guy or the old guy. My point is, two people in a main pic might cause members to pass on viewing his profiles because they may not want to ferret out which person owns the profile. It’s no big deal. This is just my opinion and we do not understand each other. I have no clue as to what you just replied with but it seems you still don't understand my point. He asked for profile help, and I offered my opinions when I view profiles and what I look for, what causes me to pass, or what attracts me. There will be 100 different ideas on this topic. What was with the statement about the OP breaking the rules? He hasn’t broken any rules. I don’t get your tone. I also never said one person was more attractive than the other in the pictures. I just said to rate their looks, as you did, is subjective. It’s no big deal. Why you would step away from any of the topics I post in is a bit extreme.  I have no idea who you are and for you to say I have negative vibes is odd to me. I have never met you nor have we have ever exchanged in the past. I didn't call you out - I stated an opionion and it would have been the same for any member who made the same points as you; it's called a friendly exchange of opinions. I don't know you at all; there are no feelings of mal intent - there are no feelings. I didn't use profanity, call you names, or refer to you in any light. My comments are not about you anyway - they are to the OP about his profile. Really? You are so offended by conversation?  It's OK that we are not on the same page in terms of communication. Live and let live. This is a lot of unnecessary drama and miring up the OP’s topic for something that seems to be askew in your mind. This is inconsequential and meaningless. I didn’t give it a second thought after my last reply. You really dwell on this? As with everyone on Mingle, we embrace opinions; that’s the nature of the forums. Party on! |
