OK.. One serious post deserves a not so serious.. Varying Thoughts of the day: Dating Sites: 1) Why do people post pictures of themselves looking mean, mad or sad? 2) If your room is a mess why show that in a picture? 3) If your room looks cluttered and you just have a twin bed it makes me think you live at home with Mom and Dad. 4) I don't want to see your life history in pictures. Would like to see what you look like today and don't want to have to guess. But, when there is a lot of them over time I focus on the one I least likely want to meet and move on. 5) When people say they don't want you to have any drama in your life, is that cause they have enough for both of you? Pretty hard to be in your 40's and be drama free, unless you haven't lived. 6) If your pictures aren't current, don't you think that ruins the comment of wanting honesty from your dating prop sects?
