Awkward Dating Site Photos

We need your submissions! Please use the ‘Submit A Post’ link on the left and send us your Awkward Dating Site Photos.

Please stick to profile pics from genuine dating websites and don’t send images that are hidden behind passwords. We’re cruelly sniggering at unfortunate self-representation, not trying to ruin anyone’s life or invade their privacy.

If it’s open to all (members or not) and is, for whatever reason, awkward or wrong, then we want to see it! Submitter anonymity 100% assured.

Dude, this is a dating site for grown-ups not 17-year-old Goths. There are more appealing ways to show your sensitive side than reminding all those hot unattached women that SOMEDAY THEY ARE GOING TO DIE.

Good practice for dating profile pics - emphasising your effervescence, your lust for life. Bad practice - showing off a thing you have killed.

Although potential partners would no doubt be impressed by your musical talents, it might be an idea to learn to play something cool and sexy like guitar or drums. Rather than a frightening horn.

Leaving aside the questionable sexual magnetism of the kilt, does this guy really think he’s going to appeal to potential partners by getting down on his knees and begging?

Newsflash: looks are important. We’re not saying you have to be a Brad Pitt-alike, but it’d be nice to see a pic that doesn’t feature you off in the middle distance wearing a helmet that partially obscures your face. Implying that you have a large pole between your legs is no compensation.

The devil, as we know, is in the detail. If you’re leaving a mouse pointer in your picture for some arcane aesthetic reason, do try to position it where it doesn’t emphasise your crow’s feet. Also, ‘20 years ago’ is not an effective justification for a mullet.

Well, at least he’s got smooth, strokable knees. And a love of extreme sport implies he’ll be a risk-taking tiger in the sack - eh, girls?

By all means make it clear that you enjoy movies, theatre and the smell of freshly cut grass. But you might want to hold back the fact that you’re a disembodied head kept alive in a custom-built life-support jacuzzi.
