How about a photo of me after I broke my jaw in three places and smashed out a few teeth.
Do it. My most successful Tinder pic ever was a crash pic with black eyes, broken nose and cut lip. 100x increase in matches*. 🙂
*from a base of 1 cam-site robot per calendar month expressing mild interest.
Haha clearly pain and scars are sexy! The hospital bed really adds effect too.
In some ways anything eye catching is a bonus, I get heaps more hits when I use pics of Brad Pitt

I met the current MrsIHN on eHarmony.At some point I plan to sue.
This made me spit my morning Tea out 😆
Met the young lady on okcupid, it's pretty good. You need to put some effort in to your profile though!
[url= http://28dateslater.blogspot.hk/ ]28 Dates Later[/url] is amusing.
🙂
EDIT: in some ways the funniest bit is the anecdote in [url= http://28dateslater.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/date-20-redacted-and-second-painful.html ]date 20[/url]
I'll have a read of that during my lunch break. Sounds quite funny.
28 dates later is by equal measure both very funny, and very sad.
I'm more depressed about this than before... 😆
I'm definately more of a cat bloke meself, but I have passed GolfChick, more than once, when I've been out with my g/f or some mates, going in opposite directions , on our local trails and can confirm that her dog is also no trail slouch !
She's the fastest fittest but laziest dog ever known to man! How is the wyre riding atm? I haven't been up since they started the felling and most of the routes were ridiculous. I might head over this weekend actually.

So, go on then, would you? 😉
[to mis-quoth binners] Christ on a bendy bus! [/binners]
My banner ads are now Travelodge weekend breaks, and intimisio (some Italian lingerie site)...Even my PC is taking the piss.
Forestry operations have made a right mess of a few bits ! Although Tilhill had to bring a machine in to deal with some of the massive ruts they'd left and FC weren't happy about it.
That hasn't helped a great deal though. Just created a less tyre tracked kind of bog in many spots !
I've ridden in there right through the winter, carefully trying to piece stuff together, so I could get a decent ride but not trash some of the wetter stuff in the valleys.
Been floored by a flu thing for a few weeks , but was up there Sunday and things really are drying quite well, esp higher up. Some of the stuff up near ButtonOak on the south side of the Kinlet road has been trashed by Dobbin and his hoofed friends more than by the timber harvesters !
Real shame as it was ridding really well before they got in there. I managed right up until they arrived then lost all the motivation for it. Will try to piece my usual caravan side together, least it'll get Ziva chasing some squirels anyway. I've even been to cannock rather than the wyre lately so it must be trashed for me to go to the pebbles of doom!
[i]it was ridding really well[/i]

*removes iPhone from pocket and teaches it to auto correct ridding to riding*
Ooh! *puts back in favourites* 😆
Ps. PoF is ok. I've met normal women through it and I'm normal(ish). I think the entire spectrum of sane->batshit is covered and you can usually tell a lot from the profiles.
Met my wife on Plenty of Fish!
I've found PoF better than Match, the only thing for me was you have to convince women you're genuine, not a player/married etc. I guess women tend to get inundated with messages from guys.
Echo the sentiment about most of the profile pictures were of women holding drinks/pouting or standing in ladies loos, worryingly, holding drinks...
Have met some really cool women through them both, some absolute nutters too, have been stalked, threatened by their ex partners etc.
If you do find someone you really like, remember they're likely to be messaging other people at the same time, that can make some people feel really, really insecure.
Cheers for that. Some good advice and maybe I'll dip my toes so to speak.

Careful, you'll have MTBel criticizing your drop-off technique...
He/She will have to take up their criticism with Jedi!
Careful golfchick- recently we were discussing a STW'er called '42' apparently he used to email naked pics of him to females on here!!
I can only hope my junk mail filter will pick it up.. although knowing my luck it'll be one of the few that survives!
Anyone know how the zoom function works on my Nexus5 phone camera? 8)
POF isn't that bad - I (eventually) met TheGingerOne on there last year and realised that we were in fact going on the very same MTB holiday in a few weeks time...
So actually half POF and half BasqueMTB for me 😉

*puts down sandwich*
*spits diet coke over the work computer*
Diet Coke, eh? Is that because you're sweet enough as you are?
....is just one of the phrases that might indicate a potential date is not 'the one.'
I find the whole idea of dating sites excruciatingly embarrassing. Looked at a couple this morning, I don't think it's for me.
Your main profile picture is very important on such sites/apps. I saw one tinder profile where the main picture was their (unborn) baby scan. Offputting to say the least hahah
I have three sugars in my tea... so I'm guessing not?! It's nice to be able to say that without listening to the default response of 'how many?!'
_tom_ That's just fantastic!
Now we're getting somewhere.
On your profile just add the line:
'I have 3 sugars in my tea. If that is a problem, then * off and the * * horse, you * rode in on you ** cheese **ing godzilla-esque *****.'
That way you'll eliminate [s]everyone[/s] all the people who'd give you grief about having the sugar intake of a humming bird.
Haha sugar intake of a hummingbird, although they're pretty fantastic looking creatures so I'm gonna take only positives from that!
I have three sugars in my tea
PSA to those still reading: Sugar in tea is evil.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
challenge accepted
Damn, that's me told

^ Does that end well?
Jive and GolfChick - the perfect match. Please, please and pretty please. You two just have to meet.
Golfchick you can clearly ride better than me so unfortunately I couldn't conceivably date you. I'd come in and spin you a yarn about how I nailed all the trails on my day long Summer Lakes ride and you'd stop me and say
'susshhh darling, we both know you can't ride for toffee'.
^ Does that end well?
Some say he is still airborne....

Nobody puts Simmy in the corner!

Darn tootin... lander is about half way between the end of the pic and the bit where the side of the forum goes grey
Following on from MissNoTax, I was not getting much interest at all with a sensible photo of myself, but as soon as I changed it to me under the Eiffel Tower in full on roadie lycra, I had an explosion of interest. Hated the idea of advertising myself like that, but it did work 😉
