I am a typical average guy and nothing special to look at, although I can be somewhat very witty which you cant tell from my pics.
Anywise, when I look at other public pics (guilty of pervin - your honour!) I immediately think some are way out of league so it puts me off messaging them even though I meet their preferences.
I know I have a confidence issue but was wondering if anyone else thinks the same and put off messaging others?? |

Ah shur ya gotta try, how are people supposed to know how "witty" you are if ya don't contact, and you don't know what there "league" is, just because they're hot as fook don't mean that they only go for super hot people. beauty,for many people, is down to personality as well |

Same here, confidence is a bit of an issue with me.
I'm even conscious of my pics on here.
I rarely send a first message, in fact I did it this morning and was very nervous doing so. Us as a cpl see ppl checking out our profile sometimes numerous times daily and wonder why we're not contacted.
We don't bite and we're always willing to chat to new ppl. Maybe OP we both need to not be so self conscious and take a risk now and again. Worst anyone can say is no

"Heres a thought maybe if someone has talked to someone on this thread maybe if they listed there qualities they liked!what do you think folks."
I don't think I've chatted to anyone on the thread, not from not wanting to, but from pure shyness and nervousness

I find with men if I like a profile I'll contact them but I find I'm a lot slower and lacking a lot more confidence when it comes to the ladies unless I know I'm going to be at a gathering with them then I'll always introduce myself and have met some really class A nutters and wouldn't have it any other way they have become great friends |

I have passed on a few profiles cause I thought I'd have no chance of getting a reply but mostly my philosophy is "nothing ventured nothing gained" we're all here to have fun with some lovely like minded people, (well most of us anyway) keep trying don't be rude (unless profile tells you to be  and best of luck  |

You know what, just remember that the body doesn't always match the face! Lol! there has been people I've been introduced to at socials and I've been shocked at how 'normal' looking people are when I've thought they were like Porn stars from their fab pics. We're all real, mostly normal (lol) people behind the profiles. Take a chance, worst that can happen is no reply, but if you're not in you can't win! |

Hey Barney, you seem like a sound guy and able to hold a conversation, it's just your pics could be better, so why not contact a photographer who's open to taking such pics? You'd probably find one on craigs list looking for models, the pics would be free too. |

You offering to take some?
Or just mess about with the camera yourself! Try to take more flattering pics,it's beyond me some of the pics some people put up here!
But like GG said the body doesn't always match the face! |

It would be a bit of a long drive Photography is a hobby for me, id suggest a young student type, someone putting together a portfolio so it would be mutually beneficial |

Barney if you don't ask you don't get! Easier said than done I know but take some confidence from this thread. Everyone is a little shy to start with. Once you start messaging those ones that you've shied away from, you'll probably find they're lovely friendly people. Just because they're beautiful doesn't mean they're not just like you. Good luck bud and getting messaging. |

"I think most of us who are from the pre-selfie era are self-conscious about how we look in photos.
"
I've always hated my picture taken. I am not photogenic.
My lack of matches on tinder support this claim. |

"Just do it. I was like you when I started but swinging has helped me gain confidence in both my sex life and in real life. I have met people who i thought were out of my league.
Go for it."

I have just been told to f**k off as this thread is fuvking boring - not my misspelling!! -by some woman I have never spoken to nor can I as she now blocked me thus no right of reply. To be honest the easiest approach would have been not to message me at all and move on but definitely not reflective of the behaviour from the vast majority of Forumites.
Thank goodness so many nice people responded to, and shared, my genuine concerns.
I am by no means put off by this one 'bad egg' but goes to show that there is still a nasty minority lurking in the background hell bent on upsetting others. |

Barney that's hilarious. Don't let these type of responses get you down. Enjoy them for the comedy factor! Anyone who replies like that doesn't deserve your time anyway. So just enjoy how ridiculous they sound! Lol |
