Ok- how do you feel about guys who post pictures posing with kids and then you scroll to read the profile to find the kids are NOT theirs?

I always thought - oh that is good - it means they like kids.

I would be upset. I mean if I do not work things out with Shane then I would want a guy who is honest and showing a picture that would reflect the real person, not some guy holding his baby niece for effect.

I did have just a bit of OLD humor - and thought to myself - well, a pic of them holding a kid is better than some of the other things I have seen them hold - LIKE:
- a motorcycle - you all know how I feel about those (disclaimer - no offense to anyone - that is just a phobia of mine)
- a cigar (BLUKKO!)
- his peepee (had to throw that one in - yes - there are guys who post lewd photos)
- another babe - or better still the photo of the guy with 2 babes he claims he met at the Hugh Heffner Playboy mansion - was he trying to get brownie points for THAT? Because I don't give brownie points for men who go to playboy mansion parties because that usually means they have had more you know what than a toilet seat.
- a fish - I don't mind fishing - but I don't want to be on a boat every weekend like some do here
- an alcoholic beverage - for some reason this REALLY turns me off when it is in an online profile because they usually looked looped and post several like that
- the steering wheel of an airplane - don't want a pilot who travels all the time or some nut who likes to fly his own small plane - I mean - I am adventurous - but not like that

I would rather have a guy holding a baby that didn't belong to him then that icky guy who e-mailed me and had a rose in his teeth.

Did you guys know there are entire sites of "adult dating" where the photos are of nothing but "peepee" holding? I admit I looked, but only because I didn't believe that is what it would be. Imagine my surprise as a page a peepees pops up in front of me. Some were very disappointing. lol

I can believe there are adult online dating sites. You are very brave to look there - I don't think I would have the stomach for that. OMG - you must tell us - do they write anything? Or just put pix? That is just crazy. I suppose that is like a big ebay exchange for sex.

No wonder the TV stations are experiencing a drop in network viewing - everyone is on their computers looking at this stuff at night!! LOL!!

That is one bonus point for my fireman - he is not much into computers - just has a few of his own favorite TV shows. One of those is the Sopranos - and I don't know anything about it - maybe you guys have seen that and can get me up to speed?

Crazy!

Not only does it drive me bonkers, it makes me wonder if the parents of these children know where their pictures end up!

As a mother, I always said I had kids, never, ever posted a pic with me with them online. You just never know, and not all of the wackos out there are men.

I would be furious if I found out my childless brother used a pic of one of my kids for a dating site! He's married, so I don't see that happening, but it would make me SO angry!

Moody, pretty protective of her children's images

Judy, I have noticed that SO many men down here post pictures of them with their big fish.

Well, there is not much conversation on the site. All the screen names have to do with their "size" or what they are willing to do. All around it was pretty disturbing. I am a bit ashamed that I looked, but it has served for hours of chit chat with the girls.

As for the photos of guys on line, I hate the pictures of guys with a previous girlfriend that they have blacked out. Seriously, how stupid do you think I am that I won't know that was your old girlfriend. My other "fav" is this one I found with a guy and the other woman blacked out but it looked like their wedding photo. That is a sign for me to keep looking.

I always take it to mean that they like kids. I hate it when they post a pic of them with a woman, or their wedding pic without the bride! If they don't have any other pics, they should pull out the camera and get a decent picture, sans women or wedding tuxedo.

OMG - the wedding pic without the bride has to be the tackiest ever! I don't like the ones with the other person cut out.
