So I finally decided to rejoin an online dating site, begrudgingly. My sister and sister-in-law practically had to force me. Let's face it...the dating world can be a not-so-fun place. Turns out not much has changed since the last time I was on one of these sites. In fact, I'm seeing a lot of the same people. However, I have hope that they work because both my siblings met their significant others on this site. There's a lot of weeding through the weirdos and guys who clearly don't bother to read your profile. But hey, the first guy to contact me was 25! So that did wonders for my ego! And then I noticed a new, disturbing trend:
No, these are not photos of men who have little black boxes for heads. But yes, these are pictures of men posing with money! Literal money. Cold, hard cash. I would really like to know why these men think this is a good profile photo and if this works for them? Are there really women out there who would be impressed by this? Do they think that holding cash makes women swoon? And does Money Boy #1 think that $100 would cut it if that's the case? I'm curious, yet very disturbed by this trend.
So I will plug along and look for men not holding money in their photos. If they happen to have a little money in their bank account, I'm ok with that, but it's not what matters most. Clearly, how much cash you can gather for your profile photo is where it's at!
