    more dong shots

    show em what they'll be workin with.

    But not the entire thing, you want to leave something to their imagination. Perhaps you could take your dong shots at myspace angles?

    yeah get rid of most/all of the video game stuff dude

    the number of women who find that stuff romantically engaging is vanishingly small

    focus on your attractive attributes

    probably shouldn't have a girl in your profile picture. maybe a group including girls, but that looks like a couple photograph

    This.

    I would get rid of both first and second pictures entirely. The third one escapes deletion because it looks candid and fun.

    Beasteh, no one is saying lie. Everyone is saying tone it down.

    Ask yourself how many girls want to hear VIDEO GAMES VIDEO GAMES VIDEO GAMES when looking for someone fun to hang out with? I play video games almost every day, but it's not something I would advertise as one of my most defining attributes.

    I heard Catfish is just in the documentary vein, and it's actually a thriller.

    i've also heard it just has a twist ending.

    Either way, it's not playing anywhere near me so fuck Hollywood.
    The filmmakers were on NPR the other day talking about this. My understanding is that the film-makers are maintaining that it's a documentary, but that a few documentarians question whether that's true.

    I've read about the twist, and it's not really a twist so much as "people on the internet lie about shit." News at 11!

    I wish I could find this MTV Made show on youtube. Where they had a gamer that wanted to be a ladies man.

    His blind date conversation consisted of:

    "So what kind of games do you like?"

    Oh, I don't really play any games.

    "Well, there's basically different types of games. RPGs, FPSs, Action, Sports... I bet you'd like ones where you can save the princess and stuff, those are pretty fun"

    Ehhh, I don't really like video games.

    I never talk about video games on a first date. I will pepper conversations with subtle references to video games, and if she gets them then I score bonus points and if she doesn't then she has no idea video game references were made.

    The exception to this is smash brothers.

    The last guy I went on a date with had "I'm On A Boat" on his mp3player, which he tried to hide, because he thought I might think it was weird. But I was amused by it because you know, On A Boat. Then he got clingy and I called off our dates. But yeah, that was a case of getting an internet reference on a date.

    i had my ipod playing in the car on a date and Tenacious D came on, she gave me the stink eye so during dinner i rolled out before the check got there.

    not really i just never called her back. she had a very "i don't know what this is, and therefore it is stupid" look on her face.

    I think perhaps the problem is that you're overestimating the general population.

    People will mouse over your photos while browsing match percentages. They won't delve into a profile to see who that girl is.
