A little white-out & it was like she was never there.

You can scratch your ex-girlfriend out of a picture till your heart's content, tape it to the wall and throw darts at it for all I care.

But don't put it on a dating site.

Let me explain this very carefully: Presumably, you joined this dating site because you are hoping to find a woman. This means that it would be wise to post material that women will respond favorably to. For instance, your stupid motorcycle from four different angles -- who cares? A wall of your trophies -- that's awesome, sport. A close-up of your favorite NFL player -- that's just weird. 

And: women don't want to see you posing with another woman --- and they certainly don’t want to see you with your arms around a woman whom, it would seem, you used to care for but have now desecrated with a giant glob of whiteout. Women are just looking at that thinking “Hmmm, well that could be me some day. Yeah. Okay. Next.”

Does that make any sense, guys?

  2. I know, I know. I'm like five days behind on this one. Truth is, I've been very introspective over the course of those five days. I will explain.
    Mark3 report, forthcoming!

  3. Maybe he's just cute, so I'm giving him a chance, but I think this is funny! *insert GF here* Atleast he appears to like travel.

    Oh, & motorcycles & trophies ... they want you to care, that's the point.

    Look forward to the Mark3 story

  4. Did someone really post a picture like that? It would be too funny to come across that at dating sites like plentyoffish.com. Maybe he did it so interested women could picture themselves in the woman's place?
