Random online dating question

Why oh why do guys have pictures of themselves in their cars?  I don't get it?  Do their cars have a camera in them?  I don't mean next to their car, I mean inside it.  Do y'all see this a lot too?  This guy just emailed me and he had only three pics of himself in his car taken from three different angles.  I don't get it.

Re: Random online dating question

  • Yeah to me it says, "I have no friends so no pics of myself either out with friends or alone, taken by friends."  I also have a feeling these men have bathrooms that are too messy for mirror shots.

    I don't get the in the car part though?  Are they using their rearview mirror or something?  Why not sittinng on their couch or their front porch or anywhere other than in their car??
  • Because they think it looks cool. I will admit, several years ago I took a car picture. ITS TRUE, I admit it. It has no special significance.

     

    If a guy only has pictures he obviously took himself, I don't talk to him. Especially when they are bathroom mirror pics.

  • Haha!  I see this all the time from women too, and they always have some sexy grin looking into the rearview mirror.
  • Meh, I try not to judge to harshly, even if I'm giggling a bit on the inside. The car pics drive me crazy, but what are you going to do? The bathroom pics, though...I mean, I am TERRIBLY unphotogenic (like painfully so), so I typically HATE HATE HATE with the passion of a thousand fiery suns pictures of myself. If I'm going to have a decent pic of myself, it's going to be because I took a million of them and deleted all the ones were I had a wonky eye or something. The only reason I have some of the pics I have now to use is that I had a few photoshoots done a couple of years ago and professional photogs can work wonders on us poor unphotogenic souls - ah, the wonders of photoshop. Wink

    The worst bathroom pics are the ones with dirty mirrors, messy bathrooms or the very worst I saw was where you could see the mildewed shower in the background

  • I am not sure guys in general will put much thought into things like this?  He may have taken pictures in his car out of convenience.

  • I don't understand the car pics either.  I mean, you can't tell what kind of car it is so it's not that the pics are impressive in any way.  Unless these men think the fact that they actually have a car is impressive?

    If a guy has nothing but car and bathroom mirror pics, I just say...next!!!!

    You might be right, one of the questions on POF is "do you have a car".  In my recent experience though they should also add to that, do you have a license that is not suspended and do you have plates for your car!

  • The car pics bug me as well.  I just don't get it and its a total turn off.
