It’s silly to send a picture of you and your friend. If it’s you who’s dating, it should be your pic only. It confuses people! Or when a guy has a dating profile and his pic is together with his ex or something…. That’s terrible!

I’ve seen more online dating photos where the woman posts a photo of herself with her bff and the bff is so much more attractive.

David, as a single dad,in his early 50’s, who also co-parents equally, your blog is a true breath of fresh air. It’s also caused me to both laugh and think. Your style, wit, and tell-like-it-is approach is right on the money. Okay, well, my comment about this post is that attraction is something individual and unique that is either there or not there. Yes, internal beauty counts for a heck of a lot. But, if a woman or a man is not attracted physically to their cybersex pal after seeing their photo (or meeting them in person), it’s no sin. It’s jus “life.” Why we are “attracted” to certain people is complicated and is part of our individuality. It shouldn’t be judged — anymore than a guy should be allowed to manipulate a woman into sleeping with him even though she isn’t attracted to his looks — because he accuses her of otherwise being “superficial.” I guess the lesson for all on-line daters is to accurately describe oneself from the beginning and upload an accurate photo early on.

Dude, great article and very funny. I see from the comments that your female audience is not to thrilled about the post, but from a guy’s perspective, a very valid question.

It is probably poor form to go after the hot friend, and not worth getting a bad rep. Entertaining article nonetheless.

I’m trying to be an upcoming daddy blogger, so please sign up for my site. I’ll add yours to one that I’m following.

I’m waaay late for the conversation here, but anyway~
I’d have no problem with you asking about my more attractive friend as it would tell me a lot about what’s important to you. That’s a time saver. And yes, you’re right, it is bad form to ask about your online match’s friend. Maybe she sent the photo on purpose? Woman are wise to those who fall for the ‘ole bait and switch, ya’ know! ;) ;)

I am again late to the game… and maybe for the better.
At my first glance of the title of your blog, it brought a lot of personal feelings to the surface.
I have always had blonde friends. very very pretty friends. And no matter if I am dressed to the nine’s and said friend is in ratty clothing… she will get the glances first. ALWAYS.
I am a great person. I am pretty just not AS pretty.
I personally would have been really offended. She however would not if it happened to her… because?
She can find another man attracted to her without even trying. No matter how shallow, rude, crude, stupid or insane a woman is, she will beat out the ‘not as pretty’ friend in any situation similar to yours.
I hate that!

This happened to me once! I noticed the friend first! Long story short – I ended up going home with him even tho I had asked for the friends number!
