Anonymous(36-45)+1 yit's bad to do this. I used to think that I had to show alllll my flaws so that I would know for sure someone loved me how I am and no unpleasant surprises.. but as it goes I learned from experience don't show your bad things, if they notice on their own let it be, but don't put it out there because what they might have never noticed will suddenly become noticeable all the time. All the girls I know always putting their best selves and I used to see it as fake but the guys love them for that all while saying they prefer natural and blah blah but if you don't say it, expose it, they just go for it and when you explode your real natural self they will feel less and less attracted to you and will continue to feel attracted to the other fake girls who don't put their worst up because to them in their eyes all that fairness is real natural lol
say what you want and disagree but it's true.56 Reply

That seems excessive. When looking for a relationship, I've found it's better to start casual with little to no makeup so they like me for me. After we've been together nearly a year I start dressing up a lot and rewarding them for being mine.
Dressing up a lot just attracts more shallow men looking for sex and not more quality men looking for love and marriage. If a mans first reaction when he sees you is sexual, then he's not thinking about you as a person but a sexual object. It's lust and unlikely to ever turn into love.
I dated both ways, and the casual look was best. Got both of my husbands that way and have been with them nearly 17 years and 10 years. They've seen me at my best and at my worst and are happy either way.20 Reply
+1 yIāve done that a few times, purposely sending a shitty photo of myself. The cameraās from below so it sees my double chin and square jaw, my hair is short, Iām not smiling, etc.
I usually get asked if Iām a guy before they ghost me lmao30 Reply
As a guy, I would not want to tested or played around with. I prefer honesty. If you are insecure about yourself please talk about it with honesty. That should go both ways too. It is hard to have a long term relationship playing silly games without honesty.

Real Men, donāt have the need to ātestā their prey. They go for the kill and execute, or stay hungry.
Nothing crazy if you wanna do that, do you. I just donāt think that would be my style.01 Reply- +1 y
Testing shouldnāt have to be this extreme. If they stick around after they see you at ur worst, could be physically, emotionally, financially, or maybe even post criminally for some⦠that should tell ya

Is it any goofier than sending someone pics of ones when you were younger? You see that on dating sites all the time.
- +1 y
@DubiousIntentions Yes, that's another stupid thing that some people do. Fortunately, most people on online dating sites don't do these things.
+1 yI did this one time. I didnāt have a full body picture on my dating app, but I had my measurements put in my profile (my exact words were āIām 5ā6ā and 220 pounds. Iām down about 30 pounds since last year and trying to lose more weight but if you donāt want to date me because of my weight, just move onā. This guy clearly didnāt read the profile like I assumed he did, messaged me because he liked my headshots. We had a great conversation and then he asked āwhy donāt you have a picture of your figure in your profileā? I knew what he was getting at, and I told him my measurements and mentioned that it was in my profile. His response was a shocked face emoji, calling me a dishonest fat ass bitch, accusing me of lying about my weight by not including a full body picture because he doesnāt āwaste his time reading the profileā, etc. Iām not shaming guys who arenāt attracted to big women but no need to be an asshole about it. Just say āno thanksā, wish me well and (if youāre wary of my response) block me instead of all the insults. So I did some digging and found a full body picture of me when I was at my heaviest. I put it as my profile picture and that was also a mistake because what I got was a lot of feeders telling me to stop hitting the gym and eat more because apparently I needed to get bigger in order for them to find me attractive. Itās fine to be attracted to big women but you see in the profile that I want to lose weight and get fit, move on and donāt try to change me. After that I just had normal pictures of me. I still kept the full body pic from my heaviest up but itās no longer the main picture, and then I was no longer being body shamed or attracting feeders.
10 ReplyWell I'm not sure if it was my worst to me all of them are, I never saw myself as photogenic when the camera came out so was I, outta there, look at any of my school year book probably see a stickman where my photo show be, I don't mess around with those dating sites anyone, too many scammers and fake profiles so it's up to fate I find someone

+1 yI met my boyfriend at Starbucks with my curls all over my head unkempt with sweats and a tank top. I got tired of dressing up for people that never went anywhere. He said i didnāt look too bad and if thatās what i looked like at my worst, Iām not bad. Weāve been together for almost 7 years lol

+1 yWhen it comes to finding a soul mate, why would you shoot yourself in the foot by painting yourself in a negative light?
If you believe guys are only after you for your looks, then change your approach. A great way of doing this might be to meet with someone via a hobby rather than social media/dating apps
00 ReplyNo, I wouldn't even think about doing something like this... It's a little weird and why testing people like that? Just don't... be yourself all the way
00 ReplyI mean, unless you're a 10/10 in looks and get compliments from everyone on the daily, I don't see why anyone would want to sent the opposite gender bad pics of themselves
