This might seem rather strange but I feel that it is important to determine a persons standing with their immediate family.

I once dated a woman who didn’t get along with her siblings.  In fact, when her sister-in-law died, no one told her of the death.  Instead, she read about it in the paper.

And while not always accurate, sibling relationships are a very good indication of character.  After all, if a person is not liked by their family, maybe it is not the fault of the family.

Some women like to post photos of themselves and their five girl friends.  While the photos are nice, I just can’t tell who is who.  Or, more to the point, which one are you?  Do I get to take my pick?

So, why bother to post a picture if no one can tell who you are?

I am always amazed at bad profile pictures.  The other day, a woman posted a profile picture of herself in a clown outfit.  Well, I guess she was just being honest.  Unfortunately, that picture left a lasting impression.

One of my dating websites has you answer three essay questions as a part of the getting to know you process. Since these questions are intended as ice breakers, there really isn’t a wrong answer.

But apparently, one woman took the questions too seriously.  Instead of moving on to more open communications, she decided to dump me.

She was a college professor.  I guess she was too used to grading papers.

I realize that some times it is hard to come up with a user login name.  But, try to pick a user name that is flattering.

I recently ran across one that called her self “Piglet”.  And, of course, she was a large woman.  Another large woman called her self “two ton tessy”.  Remember,  some times these names are available because no one wanted them.  Think!

On the cheap dating sites, less than half of the women post a picture of themselves.  And, I can understand that posting a photo can be a bit problematic.

For starters, you need access to a digital camera.  Then, you need someone to take your picture.  After that, you need to down load it from your camera and upload it to the dating site.  So, I can understand why someone might not have a photo for the dating site.

However, recently I ran across a woman from the area who didn’t have a photo available.  When I read her profile, I found out that she was a professional photographer.

I can only assume that her omission was intentional.

In an effort to get a photo of them selves, some women have resorted to standing in front of their mirror and taking a picture of their reflection.

Unfortunately, most of the pictures are taken in front of the bathroom mirror.  So, not only do I get to see them, I also get to see their bathrooms.

And, what do I see in their bathroom?  I see the bathrobe hanging from the back of the door, I see the wadded up towel on the floor, I see the toothpaste and hair care products on the counter, I see the toilet paper on the shelves, I see the toilet with the seat up which makes me wonder if there is a man in the house.

And, while photos are important, please make sure that they are showing everything that you want them to show.
