    Because they think that's the only way to grab a man's attention? How sad.

    Are these closeup pictures of their boobs or a whole body pic with a lot of boob showing?

    A guy I went on a date with said many women had pics of themselves in bra/ panties and lingerie? I don't understand this.

    Mostly they are larger women using that angle to detract from their total body size. I don't advocate using 4chan or other questionable things to research stuff on the internet, but there is a whole article concerning "angle" photos and how they can be completely misleading.

    Also, men are drawn to those parts of women, so hey, show 'em if you got 'em. Who needs personality when you have a fabulous set of them right?

    You're actually complaining about this?

    I say, post 'em if you got 'em. Doesn't mean I'll respond, but will enjoy looking. ;-)

    I wonder the same thing about all the men who have pictures bare-chested. Same sort of thing I think. They are showing off their asset!

    Same reason men send naked pics with their introduction email. POF is known as a hook up website where I am from all my guy friends that use are just looking to get some and the women they meet are willing to get down the first night.

    POF is bad news, I'd stay away...not much quality on there from what I've seen and heard. I've heard MANY people refer to it as the "hook-up" site. Hence the un-classy photos. :huh:

    Of course that logic does not imply that everyone on there is bad. Just worse than other sites....either that or the quality of men in NY is just worse than other places. Which I am starting to think is true. :frown:

    You gals are doing a great job selling POF. Do you get a commission? :glasses:

    I dismiss any guy with a shirtless pic... it's just not classy.

    POF has worked for me. I've met some cool dudes on there.. just not THE one.

    Quality of the people you will meet is relative to the quality of the photos they post. Women who aren't looking for attention and just want to meet a nice guy who is not a pig and will respect them do not need to post such photos....of course if you are just looking to hook-up then naturally you won't mind the cleavage photos. Not all men are like that. Thank God.

    I agree. I have mostly head shots but I have a few body shots. I am dressed up in cute dresses/ heels but that's my weekend attire. I'm not showing skin, except for my legs but that's because I like to wear short dresses.
    I'm very careful about not sending the trashy vibe but I still want to have some sex appeal.

    When I tried online dating I never did that. And even without doing that I can't tell you how many messages I received of guys want to "hook" up. Can't imagine if I had posted sexy pics!

    Why the complaint?

    Tenet #1 of advertising-Sex sells.

    The women you are referring to are applying Tenet #1 in the way that they best see fit.

    Same here... I don't think it shows much class... female or male.

    Not on MFP... feel free to show off your body because it's a fitness site.

    I generally enjoy looking at the cleavage shots. What aggravates me are the woment that show a lot of skin and then two-thirds of their profile is about how they are not there for a hook up and what the hell is wrong with the men on this site.

    First thing that comes to my mind is sex when I see cleavage. But not long-term potential.

    Well if you are looking for long-term potential i would stay away from POF...I have met about 5 guys on there...I got the following:

    1. a lunatic
    2. a liar
    3. a married man
    4. a nymphomaniac
    AND....
    5. one that can't even be classified....

    try eharmony :laugh:

    Not that I'm really complaining nor inviting such a thing but I've never gotten a pecker picture through PM nor a random "let's hook up" invitation... hmmm? Wth is up with that?

    I do get the "compliments" on hot pics or whatever but hmmm.

    I completely agree with what you're saying. Just sometimes when you're going to the car lot you stop and look at the fancy convertibles before heading over to the trucks/cars you were there to buy.

    I never did and wouldn't, but I also equate it to the shirtless male pics. Not what I'm interested in first!

    And (as usual) I have to defend POF. I met my current boyfriend there. We are in a happy, exclusive relationship. No weirdness! It's not the SITE. EVERY site has some weirdos (I have been on POF, Match, andOKCupid so I know!)

After I called him and cussed him out (none of which he remembers bc supposdly he was drunk he had the effin BALLs to ask me what I thought :noway:

    Hahaha right!??! I *get* your analogy, but I'd actually consider women like us to be the luxury cars, and the cleavage-showing girls are the trucks that you buy for fun and utility, but they get dirty and don't look good when you pull up to the valet at a fancy restaurant :tongue:
