What's your biggest turn-on when it comes to dating profile pictures?
-
@alice I tried, for years, to talk to the "guys holding fish" about if they would take me fishing as a date and it was always: "oh that was one time on my buddy's boat" or "oh, that was from a trip" or "we were on a charter boat"
They NEVER actually FISH!!!!
Similar experience matching and chatting with women who have a picture of themselves river rafting/rock climbing/skydiving/outdoorsy-ing. I now subconsciously caption those photos "here's that one and only time ever I did [activity] that I have no intention of doing again but posted because I want you to think I am adventurous. Also, it was eight years ago."
I am betting that straight men do this constantly. Seems very much like a dude thing.

@pencilears @alice IDK I matched with a guy who was an actual fishing guide once
but I was like six inches taller than him and not Roman Catholic so it wasn't going to work, alas

I know someone whose second marriage, late in life, was happy while they could both go bass fishing all the time and be silent together. Then they got too frail to do that and everything fell apart.

@alice [•] it’s on a dating site that would have me as a member

When this is done, I should commission an artist¹ to make this scientifically accurate, world's hottest profile pic, using AI.
¹ Like a real one, not a "prompt engineer".
Let me guess,,, a duck holding a gun.

I want to see it contain at least the top 5 options, in roughly the proportions voted for.

American beer is just something that you rent. Not a real beer.
