What's your biggest turn-on when it comes to dating profile pictures?

[faraiwe@mstdn.social]

@jef @alice ...what's the sturgeon's name??

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@Osteopenia_Powers sadly, I only had so many option slots, so several things didn't make the list.

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@ShnoofleBear either you voted dog/cat because you like them—and therefore missed the sarcasm, or you got the sarcasm, and picked dog/cat because you don't like them.

[agturcz@circumstances.run]

@alice Lol. Just a mere thought of an AI generated avatar of a person with duck lips, while holding a gun, and my knees are getting weak.

*thud*

Sorry. I've fainted. It was too much.

[rupert@mastodon.nz]

@alice Damn, missed the wrong answers only instruction.
I couldn't bear a dating app where everyone was properly dressed.

@faraiwe @jef @alice

Virgin. Virgin B Sturgeon, not unlike his handler.

[eruonna@lgbtqia.space]

@alice hmm, I'm going to have to update my dating profile when this finished

[eruonna@lgbtqia.space]

@alice honestly, if your picture were an AI-generated dog holding a gun doing duck lips with its dick out, I'd probably at least give you a second look

[shnooflebear@curly.cat]

@alice I believe missing the "wrong answers only" plays a big role here

[goopadrew@infosec.exchange]

@agturcz @alice good thing they didn't add the fish or you'd be irrecoverably smitten

[eruonna@lgbtqia.space]

@alice (but is it the dog or the gun doing duck lips?)

[pencilears@mastodon.eternalaugust.com]

@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!!!!

[sarae@ecoevo.social]

@jef @alice I would have totally swiped right back in the day, since he's obvs a pro and I would have a lot to talk about with a fish bio

I used to swipe left if guys had photos where they were using a chainsaw with inadequate PPE

yes this meant that I got a variety of "sexy selfies" when my now-husband got a new pair of saw chaps

(I swiped right on him bc he had what I thought might be a Labor Notes reference on his profile AND IT WAS)

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@eruonna both.

[nilajones@zeroes.ca]

@alice

Photo taken inside a car!

WTAF???

And, if this is your only private space, does that mean you are married and cheating?

[pencilears@mastodon.eternalaugust.com]

@jef @alice

[sarae@ecoevo.social]

@eedly @alice I would have swiped right for the first one

I used to make sure I had pix of myself in field gear and a hard hat because it thinned out the guys who could not deal

[damonhd@mastodon.social]

@rupert @alice define "properly"!

[sarae@ecoevo.social]

@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

[Gæst]

@alice This sounds cursed. I wanna draw it
