Online Dating Profile Photos - What Not To Do!

No Guns!

Okay, so we know there are a lot of United States military men and women who use our site, and we're honored. We also know that for many, a gun or related weapon is a "tool of the trade." Same way a web designer might show himself holding a mouse or a keyboard. But you know what? It's not the same at all. It's a gun — guns kill people. There is something oddly mysterious about a women who posts a profile pic of herself straddling an ATV while cradling a shotgun (which we've seen), but for all the dudes out there posting sweaty topless photos of themselves clutching machine guns, we suggest you take some new pictures. Although we've never done a formal survey, we can more or less guarantee that like 11 out of 10 women see guns as a turn off.

No Cats!

If I have to look at another profile pic of someone's drooling terrier, or doting poodle, I might throw up in my mouth. Then again, I'm not a pet person. Unless you count the time we were drunk on old man Simmon's farm in the eight grade and I... Anyway, a word to the ladies: cats of any kind in your profile pics will get you a fast-pass to spinsterville, where the only warmth comes from the rainbow shawls you knit on Friday nights while watching young couples walk down the street with their hands in each other's back pockets.

Britto Hint #4267: You can introduce the cat to your potential suitor, on the 4th or 5th date, only after wowing him with a home-cooked meal and some tantra. Unless of course he shows you his cat first, then you can knit shawls and use looms to make rugs for all eternity. Happy days.
