Haha, I've thought this many times, think men are just awful at taking pics in general, selfies in particular"Why is that though? Has society told them it's wrong to try to present themselves well in photos? That it's somehow not manly? Is that why so many just prefer to take dick pics... Because a dick is unquestionably manly? | |||

"Because they feel self conscious about smiling? I like seeing smiles but that awkward grimace when it's not natural is a vag drier. " That's just it though... If someone is too self conscious to even smile, it doesn't really make one think 'he's going to be lots of fun, yes, I'll definitely reply to him'. | |||

No all men lol . I know a man who takes amazing pics especially boudoir. But then again it is his profession lol "Not all indeed. I've had some lovely smiles sent to me over the years, some of which I've ended up locking lips with in person, which is why my post very carefully said 'the majority' of pics sent to me, rather than 'all'. Some guys are very adept at photography (my hotlist is chock full of them!), as are some women. It comes easier to some than others... But as far as smiles go, even if you don't have photography skills yourself, everyone has mates who snap away... Poke through their FB or Insta and find one of you that you like! | |||

Not sure how you've translated that to "having a go at single guys" - was an observation plain and simple and one that as a guy I actually relate to and so it seems do many others "Indeed many others including ladies have said they struggle to smile, ..the op could havd included all in her post. I mayrelate to it as well... however as it was gender specific(why do men) I'll take it as a pop at single guys. You may see it differently.
its still the profile owners choice, likewise its the recipients choice thereafter.

Informal or casual shots are the best "Agreed... If someone isn't comfortable taking selfies, they shouldn't feel forced to. You can see it in the pic anyway most of the time.

"Rarely seem to smile in face pics? Do you all have horrendously bad teeth you're hiding? Probably deja vu that they are not going to get a reply. The reality is you are far more likley to reply to a smiling friendly face than a moody serial killer one. "Exactly my point. Project a positive image and get positivity back! | |||

"Personally I find smiling to order (e.g. for a face pic) incredibly difficult and unnatural - when I try to it comes out as a gurn - the best face pics of me are the ones where I'm not aware of the pic being taken and am caught naturally. Best I can manage in a selfie is "enigmatic" and that usually takes a number of goes!! You've a great smile G!
Naturally maybe - to order for a selfie not so much - as an experiment I shall try a teeth showing smiling one and upload shortly...watch this space

That's so true,I'm often scared they'll have horrendous teeth or no teeth."It has happened to me unfortunately. Met someone for coffee and not only had he a mouthful of really rotten and badly broken teeth, but I could smell his breath across the table. I should mention though that he's also well play-verified, so obviously it's not something that puts everyone off! | |||

"I prefer my resting "I'm going to break you face". Though I feel compelled to put up the odd manic grin just to show I do smile. Maybe it's because a false smile looks unnatural. It's hard posing for cameras, for many of us it feels unnatural and vain. Trying to capture a sincere smile is difficult and usually best done by another person.. when you're unaware you're being photographed/recorded. The only way I pull it off myself is when I'm finding something funny in real world.. and manage to whip my phone out quick enough for that moment to be fresh in my mind.Pose feels slightly easier."

"And the winner of todays have a go at single guys award ...goes to..
Their profile, their choice.
If for whatever reason you don't find the profile or message appealing hit back and move on to one that does.
Not sure how you've translated that to "having a go at single guys" - was an observation plain and simple and one that as a guy I actually relate to and so it seems do many others
Indeed many others including ladies have said they struggle to smile, ..the op could havd included all in her post. I mayrelate to it as well... however as it was gender specific(why do men) I'll take it as a pop at single guys. You may see it differently.
its still the profile owners choice, likewise its the recipients choice thereafter.
"Nowhere on my OP did I mention single guys or profiles. I said men (not just singles), and pics I've been sent. Mainly because it's men who send me face pics, not women. I can't therefore comment on things I haven't seen. | |||
