I hate personals ads, do you think this picture will attract attention?

[thermodynamic]

:shrug:

I think the image is too soft, but the blame there gets put on the image altering program! :evilgrin:

How about this one instead, although it's cheating:



:shrug: I look better when flipped like this!

What's your take, thanks much as always!

[WillParkinson]

1. Aw, you're adorable.

Although, when I first looked at the picture I thought you were in a restroom...

[thermodynamic]

2. Well, I have a penchant for bathroom humor, but not this time!

:evilgrin:

Oh well, if I wasn't allergic to cats I'd probably have 50 of them living with me by now...

[Maddy McCall]

3. Are you opening a door in the photo?

And that pad behind you takes away from you. It does look kinda bathroomish.

I liked the photo you posted a week or two ago where you were sitting on that rusty bridge.

The scenery was great...was there any way you could zoom in on you in that bridge photo? That would make a cool, unusual shot.

Or, since you like photography, is there anyway you could get a shot of you holding a camera, maybe a classic black and white shot?

You are a doll, BTW. We DUers will be glad to help you pick the right photo. Right now, I vote the bridge shot.

[thermodynamic]

6. Try looking again!

I did a cheap smudge job... Almost passes if you don't zoom in on it!

Thanks to y'all for the compliments!




The page will probably have to be re-loaded...

[Maddy McCall]

12. Much better without the pad in the background. n/t

[RushIsRot]

4. You like the flipped image because that's what you're used to

seeing when you look in the mirror. Post what you prefer. I doubt that anyone else will be half as critical as you are of yourself.

[Maddy McCall]

5. OMG Rush your alien just winked at me!

Freaked me out and took me by surprise!

[RushIsRot]

13. But your hiccups are much better, aren't they?

:-)

[Maddy McCall]

17. Yes, but I spilled mountain dew on the keyboard... lol! n/t

[Paragon]

7. Born to hand jive, baby

Sorry, that's the first thing that came to mind. :silly:

[Maddy McCall]

15. I kinda thought about the guy posers in catalogs

You don't look natural, and you look kind of stiff or posed in the photo.

Like I said, I like the bridge photo or any in which you are more naturally posed. ("Naturally posed -- an oxymoron??)

Show us some other photos! Let us have something to vote on! Give us a poll! LOL!

[thermodynamic]

20. I always look stiff or posed!

It's part of my nervous nature...

The only pic I have of where I look relaxed is, ironically, on the rickety bridge during the great flood of '01... And that's over 2 years old and I may as well show off the fact I've gained weight. May as well be honest, though it's not going to get me anywhere.

[Maddy McCall]

22. I didn't notice any difference in you then and you now....

it was just so cool... a really cool shot in cool scenery.

I will quit nagging you about it. I stand by my original statement that you are a cutie, with or without a few additional pounds!

[corarose]

8. Hey, your cute!

How old are you, where do you live at and what type of person are you looking for.


Would you date a women with 15 kids, no teeth and a peg leg?

[thermodynamic]

11. Well...

I'm 31, live somewhere in the gloomy mosquito-ridden state of Minnesota, and I'm looking for a guy with a big ego, personality, and anything else "big" that comes to mind! :evilgrin: Okay, that was a tad over the top... but I'm gay, and I wouldn't know what to do with a woman. :-( Nobody's perfect...

[corarose]

24. Ahh Shoot

I thought that I found a Papa for my 15 kids damn. Most of my kids are in a school because they are well they are fish. I have 12 tropical fishes and 3 cat's and I was looking for a Daddy for them.

I still think that you are cute and you will make a nice boyfriend for someone.

[BigMcLargehuge]

26. Date? No... But, sleep with in a bourbon stupor fueled passion?

Depends... on the bourbon.

[thermodynamic]

30. Can't please 'em all!

No offense taken about the 'no date' comment.

Oh, Macs are overpriced toys...










Just kidding!!! Well, about them being toys - they are rather expensive though. :-(

[BigMcLargehuge]

32. Well, I figure with 15 kids she's pleased plenty...

As for my Mac (350-mHz G3 Blueberry), it's been running strong for over 4 years now. I am saving my pennies for another.

[MaryBear]

9. Adapt the one you posted

awhile ago, of you and your sister. You look like a movie star.

[thermodynamic]

10. I haven't any sisters

:-(

Except maybe Princess Leia, but I swear we never kissed! :crazy:

[MaryBear]

18. I could be confused, I suppose.

It happens, on rare occasions.

[SOteric]

14. I like the second one better, too.

Though I can't say why, and both look good. I think it may have something to do with the lighting in the second.

[thermodynamic]

16. Thanx!

Yeah, the lighting and the general presentation - though my stance does look a little weird. Still, the good outweigh the bad! Maybe it's my hair and I should part it to the left for now on. Good grief, then my hair would be facing the same direction as my political beliefs! :-)

[Phatfish]

19. hehe

if you scroll up an down the webpage with your mouse wheel, it looks like you are doing a little jig back and forth. DANCE!!! I said DANCE!!!

[Paragon]

21. I had that thought

How about combining the two pictures to make an animated GIF?

"This song ain't for everybody...only the sexy people..."

[Maddy McCall]

23. LOL! Hahaha...that's funny.

This add ain't for everybody...only the sexy people.

[Aristus]

25. Nice pic, thermo.

Now, if I were gay.........

.....and single...........

[Skittles]

27. YOU LOOK LIKE A DORK

didn't you have black hair last time you posted a picture? What's with the SHIRT/SMOCK COMBO - you look like you like to wear TOO MANY CLOTHES. You got a cute face - you need better clothes. And believe me, that's BAD coming from me because I AIN'T NO FASHION QUEEN.

[thermodynamic]

29. Daintily put...

Thanks for the bit about the cute face though! :-)

It's (mostly) the lighting; my hair is dark brown.

Okay, I did do a minor dye job, but it's not bad as long as I remember to shave often! :-)

Geez, I just spend $120 on 6 flower prints from a poshie department store and received compliments from others! (that's not to dis you, I am fully aware of the concept that not everybody likes what somebody else does.)

Yes, I love to wear clothes. It's a vice! ;(

So, I'm a dork. Big deal. I tolerated real insults when I was in grade school, high school, college... the shit never ended. I'm amazed I never called it quits... Well, I tried once... for the most part I'm glad it failed. And my time will come eventually. So fuck 'em, I'll look the way I want! It won't matter in the end.


How's THAT for looking like a dork; and this was taken in a different room with no direct light aimed at my hair. :-) What I'm wearing now is far better, I think.

[BiggJawn]

31. This one's better than the "door" picture.

The lighting is more even, more neutral (you just can't hide that flash glare in the finish on the door)

Lose the shades, the eyes are the Portholes of the Soul, and shades send the message "I am Unknowable, an Enigma. Don't EVEN try..." Could you re-create the "bridge Pix" it was very good.

Isn't it funny how people will compliment a floral print shirt? I own 4 Hilo Hatties, and I LOVE wearing them out! (My GF HATES them!)

[SPICYHOT]

28. Hey baby !

where have you been all this time?
