Bikini shot ?

Mon, 05-01-2006 - 3:00pm

Summer is coming fast: I am thinking of renewing my backstage pictures: I am thinking of adding a picture of myself sitting in a long chair, in “classic normal coverage 2 piece suit” with a book on my lap. The picture is in my POV more of a candid shot than a super sexy one. Mind you, I am very picky about whom I give out backstage passes to: Would you:

A)Forget about posting a bikini picture, it’s asking to trouble and giving out a bad impression.
B)Post the picture for a while and see what type of reaction you get from it.
C)Simply post the picture, because you tell yourself this picture was taken in public anyway.

PS:I tried making a poll out of this post but it would not fit the available setting

Thanks again
Winnie

Are you talking about putting a bikini shot on your online dating profile. I suppose you could, I wouldn't I would think you don't have to put a picture of yourself in a bathing suit for someone to see what your body looks like. Is the book suppose to imply I'm a hottie who also reads? LOL I mean I don't get that. LOL

I would leave out the bikini shots. I would just put regular clothed pictures of myself on a dating website or I would imagine you would get a lot of unsavory characters emailing, more than usual.

Hi,
You are so funny... It is just the picture I was thinking of putting was taken on a holiday when I was reading. I just mentioned it because I believe that it makes the pic cute rather “trashy” i.e. a picture that says " Hey boys look at me ".... Truth is I am an avid reader yes but it does not make my more intelligent nor does my wearing a bikini make me sexier.... (I wish :-) )

Anyways I am not doing it, because as you,& and the others said its "attracting the wrong "crowd "
Have a nice lunch

Sure, why not? Many people kid me about being shy and a prude so I really shocked them by putting a bikini shot in my profile and I am going to update it with an even better new one(new bikini)very soon. haha. I also am very selective as to who gets to see me, but if you go to a beach, the general public sees you anyway. I am very selective as to who would see me naked also(basically no one now as I am single,only significant other)as I have high morals but that is totally differnet as your personal/private parts are covered in a bikini so it is not at all like being naked. Also if you enjoy going to the beach and the water is also shows your interests. So go for it if you like. I have seen girls who post fake pics and I don't think that is a good idea.

Also, I get many emails from guys who have a pic or two at the beach mixed with regular pics in their profile. I like them. I like the ocean and I like to see that they go on occasion. I don't judge their body, but if it is good, it is a plus. haha. If you only post a bikini pic then that would send a wrong signal, but if it is in the mix of pics and it represents what you like to do then there is nothing wrong with it. That is how mine is, it is tasteful and not trashy, for goodness sake virgins wear bikinis and trashy women might be wearing one pieces. Yikes, I hope people don't judge on what type of suit a girl wears, it is just what compliments a girl body type or figure the best.

I don't think anyone is saying that people are judging you or anyone else by the bathing suit they wear.
