Playing the online dating game? Go with the butch picture!

I don't find this at all surprising, but still found it amusing.

Most gay men already know that the more masculine you present in online dating profiles, the more interest you will attract.

I would not be keen to put a picture on a dating site, for me its more to do with the person, OK, there has to be an attraction, but like i said, not keen to put a photo on, happy to chat a few times and take it from there...

thats me of course..

As for being ''Butch'' ??? not sure on that one..

What's he got in his mouth there? A toothpick or some kind of ironic piercing? The butch version looks like a parody version of a straight guy with no fashion sense.

I might put a picture on a dating site, but it wouldn't be of my face.

Online dating... a friend of mine came from Europe and met all these guys through the internet ("grindr"?) and then asked me why the gay pubs are closing down.

Well I don't know about the closing down, but I certainly wanted to meet people out there, in the real world. When I was still dating, that is.
