Your Mug Shot is not so Hot

Okay, boys. I'm back, and this one is all about profile pictures and is broken into two parts:

Part the First - How to win a date:

It's simple. Follow these tips and you can't go wrong!

• Find a good, clear shot where you are smiling. 
• Make sure it's current. 
• Don't take your own picture, ask a friend. 
• Don't post pictures with your ex and cross out her face.
• If you post pictures of yourself with small children, clarify - are they yours?

Part the Last - Your Mug shot is not so hot:
Avoid these all too common mistakes to avoid an empty inbox on your online dating profile!

1. Why is every guy, in every profile, holding a fish? What's up with the fish? I don't get the fish. I mean, I get that you like to fish, but I don't get the fish. In. every. single. picture.

2. Why are you always on a mountain top? It's really cool you climbed a mountain, tackled a pyramid, scaled the side of a rockwall like Spider-Man, but I can't see you!

3. Why are you always taking your own picture in a bathroom mirror? Do you not have any friends? Maybe you should find a friend first. Then, focus on dating.

4. Why are you wearing a mask, or covering your face, in all your pictures? When I meet you will you wear a mask? Get rid of the mask.

5. This shirt will not get you your dream lady. It might get you a lady, but trust me, you don't want that lady.

6. Why do you insist on posing naked? We know what you eventually want, but hold back a little, even if it's pretty and nice to look at. And if you're gonna give us surprise naked shots, at least show your face.

7. Why do you insist on posting a picture of a "rooster" instead of your face? You think this is funny and will induce me to click? You've been "rooster" blocked. Especially when the first words in your profile had to do with your "rooster".

8. Why don't you smile? Why do you look angry in all your pictures? No girl wants to date a sour puss. Turn that frown upside down.

9. Finally, don't get too close. This is too close. This should only be reserved for after a couple has been married a few years and a nose-hair trimmer has just been wrapped for your birthday present.
