Think about it this way:

If some stranger on the internet emailed you out of the blue and asked you to send them pictures of your kids, would you do it?

So question...why would you need more than 1 photo on your dating site?

It's not like Facebook or Instagram where you are sharing photos with people you actually know. :shrug: Wouldn't you just need a photo that got the point across of what you looked like?

I'm asking this having never been on a dating site.....

Oh! I had no idea that's what you were getting at... I've never browsed a dating site so it never crossed my mind they'd be putting up a bunch of pics of their kids...:crazy: I gotcha now...:yay:

You'll probably guess by my post that I'm OLD, but the on-line dating thing would really scare me. You hear all kinds of weird stories of terrible things that happen. People can say anything on the net to pump themselves up, but they might be a Jeffrey Dalmer IRL! I will say that my Sister found the man of her dreams on-line, and they've been married 12 years, and still going strong.

I have seen one person with 30. Overkill.

I swear that just went through my mind....well a few is ok but if they have too many then that might lead me to think they are either way too full of themselves or very insecure.

Yeah, but Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dalmer found their victims without the use of the internet so I don't think that theory holds much water...:shrug:

I see dating sites as simply another tool for becoming aware of other available people in your area. I believe have a much better chance finding someone with your same interests by browsing online dating pools than you do stumbling upon someone on a bar stool, church pew or pushing a grocery cart...:shrug:
