Georgia2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I just wondered why do men stick their tongues out on their profile picture when doing online dating? I don't find it attractive it all. I instantly loose interest when I see a picture like that. When I see pictures like that I find myself laughing at them wondering if they are trying to impersonate Miley Cyrus. I know they aren't doing that but that funny thought always pops in my mind when I see a man sticking his tongue out. Link to post Share on other sites
evanescentworld Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 D'you know I have no idea. A buddy of mine does it on FB.... I think it's a sign that really, they find this whole thing utterly ridiculous and they don't really take any of it - including themselves - seriously.... That's just the way I read it, but then, that's FB, not a dating site..... Link to post Share on other sites
Phoe Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Huh, I don't think I've seen this. I can't think of a time when I saw this, whether on OLD or on facebook. Hand gestures, yeah, but never a tongue. Link to post Share on other sites
Tayken Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 just wondered why do men stick their tongues out on their profile picture when doing online dating? Men in general? You obviously haven't seen my profile, and I can't even begin to wonder why any grown man would want to do this, unless of course they are letting you know that they want to lick you??????? That said, I don't see men profiles, but women are quick to let me know that my profile is "refreshing" due to the detail, transparency, classy pics, and how well put together it is in general. On the flip side to what you have brought to our attention, I can't help but notice that a lot of women only seem to post head shots (yes I know why), go out of their way to have the boobs in front of the camera, pics of them with their cat/dog, and some provocative pose, whilst the profile in general lacks content of importance. The assumption that men don't read the profiles, is a false one and you will have a better chance of making me message you, if your profile has more to offer than just salacious pics. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hand gestures, yeah, but never a tongue. Several of the men in my area on POF have their tongues out. It is disgusting and immature. Link to post Share on other sites
spiderowl Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't know but I believe it's disrespectful. It's like saying 'I don't care whether you like me or not and this whole thing's a farce'. That's fine, but if they feel like that why are they bothering? I also feel it's immature. I can't imagine a grown up doing that who would not prove to be trouble later on. Link to post Share on other sites
WhatIsLove2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 My guy does this when he takes pictures. But he rarely takes pictures of himself, by himself. He said he thinks it's weird taking a "selfie" so seriously. Link to post Share on other sites

writergal Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I think it's a combination of not taking online dating seriously, being disrespectful towards women, and having low confidence in themselves as men in general. No woman in her right mind would contact men online who: stuck out their tongues, or posted pics of themselves in thongs or bikini briefs, sitting in a hot tub, or in a bar drunk with their friends or surrounded by scantily clad women, holding one gun in each arm (how does holding 2 shotguns say to a woman, "come hither, I'm safe to be around"), or a selfie on their bed, or selfie on their couch with their shirt pulled up to reveal their rather large beer belly. There's some strange men out there in online dating land. It's definitely a jungle out there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

djcos25 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm a man and I also don't do this. I have problems with online dating as it is lol. Kidding aside, I don't even take "selfies" either. I have others take a photo of me. I took 1 selfie in my life, I felt like such a douchebag after. Never again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
michellew Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yuck! I am also not a fan of shirtless photos (unless they are waterskiing or something like that, but a plain shirtless selfie or shirtless mirror shot? No thanks!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tayken Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 They've caught miley tongue syndrome Nope...I reckon it's because most women profile you see is a boob on display on purpose because of competition, these alleged men sticking their tongues out, are making a innuendo reference to wanting to lick it?

Arieswoman Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 When I was using OLD (some years ago now) there were no end of guys giving finger gestures on their pics. I never contacted any of them because I thought they were childish and stupid. However, I would still be interested to know why they did this ? Link to post Share on other sites
quidproquo89 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 could be a sign that they are easy going, funny or that there a complete twat. I'll let you decide that one! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
