Search Results: when someone makes you smile

Up to now, my dating profile has only had selfies (photos taken by myself). I would say they are high-quality selfies, including face/body, smile-with-teeth/other, etc.

I do not like having my picture taken. I have nobody in my life that could help me do a photoshoot, so I've considered hiring a photographer. However, I am unsure if it would turn out well. I would need someone who I could trust with the whole situation, and basically need them to make sure the photos were sexy (for lack of a better word).

So, the thing is, I really like wearing black clothing. It has no other meaning behind it whatsoever. I am not trying to appear skinny, or edgy or whatever. I simply like the color and it makes me feel comfortable. It's not the goth clothing or anything, it's simply black sneakers, black jeans, and a black tshirt/sweater/hoody. Nothing flashy. Very rarely I'll throw in a navy blue or dark grey, but that's about it. Furthermore my energy is quite normal, I am friendly, I smile, talk and make jokes and all that, I am not depressed or anything.

My friend has recently pointed out to me that people, especially girls, are gonna find me creepy because of my clothing choice.

My question to you is, would you associate any form of negative emotions/prejudices towards someone who wears black 90% of the time?
