Hi all. Please excuse my ranting, it happens sometimes. Today I am ranting about photographs on profiles. & how some of them are just plain crap!!
Now, I'm not a professional, my pics are clearly amateur at best but to many people, your photos will be the biggest selling point of your profile. So why put up a picture of an extreme close up of genitals? Or a mirror selfie where you only take up about a 5th of the picture & you're half obscured by your phone & also it's blurry.
On the other hand I've seen some really amazing photos on here, both men & women who've put at least 3 or 4 minutes of their life into getting decent photos for their profile. That's all it takes.
Try a couple of selfies from different angles & upload the best, don't just wave your phone vaguely around, press the button & upload right away. Try black & white. Try NOT having a toilet in the photo, move over slightly so it's not there!
I will cease ranting for now. |

I find those photos on profiles quite helpful, they tell me a LOT about the person who has taken them and thought they were a good idea to display on their profile... |

"And How - Do We Know which ones are Crap ???  "
Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder & some could be argued to be crap or decent. But some are just terrible terrible. Yours are not terrible, they're good & well composed |

Interesting rant... How people choose to portray themselves is their choice.. I kind of get the rant and kind of disagree too... Is there a difference between obscuring with a phone flash in a mirror and obscuring with a book? And whilst some think a close up takes little time or effort in our (particularly mine the female) case they take time and usually a hundred photos taken may result in one I like enough to post.... Not a rant back but profiles, pics, etc are personal choice.. If you don't like move on x |

"Yeah I'm starting to play around with B&W a bit now but think colour always wins through in the end."
Sometimes a good B&W pic, can out do a colour one any day.
All mine are done with a camera and self timer, it can be awkward but I occasionally get it right. |

There's no denying your photos are pretty great, not lots of clutter, no extreme close ups. Even a straight guy like me can acknowledge they're good photos. Well done  |

I don't comment on many male profiles as I'm not the best qualified, but you have really good photos. |

I get that some might want to obscure their face with the camera or flash, I'm getting at the total lazy efforts. & close ups, I looked at yours, they are very good - yes even the ones of mr's cock. It's clear you DID put effort in. Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a go at all close ups or all mirror selfies etc. just the ones with obviously no effort at all. For example an extreme, slightly blurry close up of a flaccid cock. Plenty of them going around. |

That is a kind response thank you.... And could not agree more about the flaccid cock pics.... What I have found is when we first joined fab I spent a deal of time in shock at some pics but have learnt to smile and accept everyone has their own way.... Oh and your profile was different.. In a good no rant way |

"Mine are all taken with my iPad and a timer app, I hope I get ok results?"
Rosalie, yours are very nice.
OP, yours are the best single man's pics I've seen.
What do people think of ours? |

Great photos bud , I like to think mine are quite tasteful too, yes I have slipped one willy shot in there.
I think its time I tools some more and updated my profile. I have tried some out door shots before , a tad risky but always fun |

Why thank you, very kind of you to say so!! But I wouldn't award me that accolade quite yet, some guys have great photos. Like that walkingtaff fella. His are impressive too, especially that outdoors one. I'm jealous of that one |

Also I fab'd a few of yours. They are well taken, well composed & Mrs looks great! Nice work! |

Selfies that are handheld rarely produce good results, especially of faces, on fab.
I've seen pics that are 90% minimum of a loose fitting shirt - no body contours to define the body shape. Poor and wouldn't do well in Littlewoods catalogue.
Blurry is poor and I believe often intentionally used, to cover a multitude of sins and skins. |

"im sure you had a cock pic before. 
I have one there among the regular photos yes. But I think I only briefly had it as an avatar some time ago"
Did it have something to measure it against ?? I cant remember |

Nope, I've never had a remote or can or bottle or anything next to the cock. you're confusing my cock with someone else's. AN easy mistake since they're all the same haha |

"I love perving over the arty photos 
Mine are all selfies, would love to have a professional set taken some day, had some naked arty ones done about 10 years ago and loved it."
Yours look pretty decent for selfies tbh. All mine are selfies or just my camera on timer (allowing me to get behind the ice cream for example) apart from the avatar, my friend took that of me one winter day on a frozen loch |

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder is it not?
Although I have to admit I block anyone with a close up cock/pussy profile pic.... especially when accompanied by a sky remote or bottle!!!

"OP, what flavour of Ben & Jerry's was that, just out of interest?
It was cookie dough. I'll let you in on a secret, I ate the entire tub just before taking the photo!!  Don't tell anyone though!"
Mmm naked man and cookie dough, 2 of my favourite things |

good use of a decent whisky. Better than a wine bottle stuffed in a fanny! How can that ever be a good picture to have!?
