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

[kiwikiwikiwi@tech.lgbt]

How about someone holding a small fish?

@alice it won't let me vote for none!!!

[cocaine_owlbear@retro.pizza]

@alice I picked one, but this really needs a "none of the above" option.

@alice tasteful, composed, yet still sexualized nudes. a dick or pussy should be a complement to the rest of one's body, not the main focus. show some effort in your pics

[taurus@thicc.horse]

@alice good poll!

[captmikeyates@tech.lgbt]

@alice Holding a sausage. An actual cooked sausage.
Goth chests, Tattoos and piercings optional.
Photo as a Nun.
Photo in military uniform.
Photo in Star Trek cosplay.
Photo with a firearm.
Photo with a bladed weapon.

And yes, I am a weirdo

I feel like y'all either hate dogs and cats, or sarcasm

@alice Since I don't date (I buy them at the supermarket - yeah yeah, you've heard that one a million times), I can only tell you what my immediate turn-offs would be.

(that's kinda how i work, easier to tell what I don't like.)

So that won't help you.

(I think I would give bonus points for cat somewhere in the picture, though.)

@alice May I introduce you to Jonathan the Sturgeon Guy

@alice
The dog/cat vote was my serious pick that makes the others funny

[lurkingdurgen@lonely.town]

@alice just being honest

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@jef so hot!

[nuclearoatmeal@beige.party]

@alice

No bacon. Swipe whichever direction is no. Left?

And I'm guessing left from a song in Hazbin Hotel Sorry babe, but I'm not swiping right

[aprazeth@mstdn.social]

@alice

There I was, just scrolling my feed enjoying all the silent Sunday toots, minding my own business.

And out pops this toot, causing me to do a double take and have a hearty chuckle.

Thank you 🩵

@alice I remember two pictures from my now-spouse's OkCupid dating profile.

One was a sexy beach pic. Specifically, it was a windswept, overcast, PNW beach and she was wearing foul weather gear and looking at a collection of seal bones.

The other was a fuck pic. Or rather, a clothed picture of her grinning and extending her middle finger, saying "fuck you!" She told me later this was in the event one of her exes found her profile.

@alice You said "wrong answers only," we're just following directions!

edit: I think results weren't federated to me yet, I don't know why people are voting for pets, I'd say thats a good/neutral pic to have not a bad one!

@alice

What gets me really hot when looking at dating profile pics is a variation of your "Just dog/cat". I really like the ones where the woman is hiding behind her panting dog while reaching forward taking a selfie down its throat with its sloppy drooling tongue hanging out.

I'm assuming this is a metaphor. Instant right swipe, of course.

(lol people not spotting parody in this post)

@jef @alice

Photos like this are common on straight middle-aged women's profiles. I think it's hilarious that most people think of this as a guy thing and women complain about it all the time, but ‍️
