Come on Couples, both of you please

24 Mar 2005

Me and my wife are newbies here, but one thing we have noticed while going through the photo adverts is that where there are photos, they are usually of the female partner.
Now thatâ€™s fine for me, but my wife likes to see whatâ€™s on offer so to speak and not just a â€˜hotdogâ€™ shot, a whole body would be nice clothed or unclothed.
Now is this because it has always been done this way, are the men shy or is there a bit of sexism going on.
Thoughts and comments welcome. biggrin

I agree with you. If a couple is advertising for both of them to get laid, it would be better to post pics of both of them so that people have a better idea of what they are getting! Just seems logical to me!

For me it was being shy I think, not entirely sure. Our first ad only included pics of Bonnie but after thinking about it we came to the same conclusion as you, that if both partners are going to be involved then both partners should be included in the ad and that includes pics, but I've been a bit braver with our latest ad and included a pic of myself.
Funny thing though with previous ads we had single guys reply even though we said they would not be replied to, but with my pic included we have had none.

Now theres an interesting thing, perhaps including a picture of the man as well as the woman acts as some sort of single guy repellant lol

My worry has always been that the female is being used as 'bait' -

We use to have pictures of just me up, although we now have a pic of Mr NC up. The reason Mr NC use to put the pics of just me up was because he likes showing me off. I think this may be quite a common reason.

I am sure it is.
Although it could be (as happened to me some 18 months ago) it could be because the man is half man half home made tattoo (not to mention the piercings and physic). And while he might have been a nice bloke the swatikka tattoo on his hand did not make me inclined to find out! :shock: His girlfriend/ wife could have been our dream woman (she wasn't, but thaks not the point confused

), but couples come as a package even if you are not playing with both of them its better to find out what they both look like before a meet, at least thats my policy now. Less awkard and a less percentage of rejection one would assume.

Hmmmmmm, It works for us, since we posted our pics we have not had a single reply from anyone, decided we must be a right old pair of mingers :shock: :shock:

We agree 100% with you legobabe.
We like to see both parties on webcam before we meet. That way we know they are genuine. So far we have had no problems.
