You can tell a lot from someone's picture. Not just the obvious things like facial stress, clothing type, or whisky eyes, but even the surroundings they chose to be photographed in... Or simply were not aware of.
Another one of my favorite Yahoo Personals ad starts out with the headline “Something is about me”, which I am still trying to figure out. As you read on you learn that she came here from Vietnam, is STILL married and NEEDS a rich man to help her get a divorce. She is also looking for a man who can keep her in the “lifestyle she is accustomed to” which requires a salary of “$100,000 or more” to do just that.
Judging from her picture, she is accustomed to living in a land fill. Something is about her, all right and I mean EVERYWHERE! Behind her are piles of newspaper, clothing strewn about the floor, empty food cans on the counter and more clothing hung over chairs and doorknobs. Her headline should be changed to something that makes more sense like “Lazy slob needs sugar daddy to manage my life for me”.
Moving on, I finally came across a normal looking profile. Terry is a 49 year old from my general area. Her headline reads “Looking for Mr. right (LOL)”. Ok, Terry has a good sense of humor, that’s a start. Let’s see her picture…
What? WOW! Terry looks GREAT for 49. She must eat right, exercise, and stay out of strong sunlight and… Um, why is Terry wearing a graduation cap and gown? And why is there a little gold “79” on her tassel? Oh wait; there are more pictures of Terry below…
Oh man! These are no good. They must have been taken in a fun house mirror. That CAN’T be Terry, can it? How did they make her skin look like that? Is this Terry’s mom?
