Canny users of BM will look at tagged pictures from events, of course.                                                                                                                                                                              

  A useful ploy Wills   But only if the said party has the presence of mind to "tag" themselves   Otherwise we're back where we started   Wondering who the  is that standing/sitting with so & so                                                                                                                                                                               

totally agree pics should be recent 1s at the rally on sat evening there were people instantly recognisable and some not, it should be made a rule if it isent already.also some of the profile pics are nothing like the person they supposedly portray.

Don’t all you lot without pictures have any friends with cameras? Or as the entire Photographers be pensioned off in your area                                                                                                                                                                                

Right, I have been told to drag my sorry carcass around to the newbies bit so here I am ... warts and all :)

Been single for a year or so now and to be honest I've started to enjoy myself, met a bunch of great people and when I'm not been dragged from pillar to post or generally beaten up and bullied mercilessly  by one or all of my 4 sons or my manic Springer spaniel I actually get to do stuff!! (Hmm .... perhaps that's not the best intro for a dating site, note to self, think before committing hands to keyboard)

Right I think that's quite enough waffling for now, if you want to know anything else ...... oh you know the rest

                                                                                                                                                                             

Well, it is in the newbie forum, and you have put a picture up (thank you), so will just say, Hi, Welcome to BM

think you'll fit in just just fine

next thing, please , drag your sorry carcass out to a rally  - if only to get away from the pets, and the spaniel                                                                                                                                                                             

Oops ... posted that in the wrong area. If I had a brain I'd be dangerous!                                                                                                                                                                              

Welcome on board the crazy train @Mountainstomper, good to see a nice pic with a lovely view                                                                                                                                                                              

Well it took me a while to find your hello. Hello and welcome                                                                                                                                                                              

I think the posting of pics is a personal decision.
If you don't want to post one, don't, you are not going to get the same reaction as someone who has knicked one off porntube, but we are not all the same.
Don't think the site should insist on profile pic, it works well enough as it is.
Took me all of 10 mins to put a picky up, and before anyone says anything, yes I should have been more choosy about me pics, but I canna change me ugly mug now can I.
Welcome to all the new peeps, enjoy and get involved !

  You've got to much time on your hands Mart                                                                                                                                                                                 

 agreed                                                                                                                                                                             

Well BL and Em, it's not me who is top poster, hardly ever do.
But you rite, far too much time on my hands, it's cos I drink too much and find it difficult to walk at times ;-)                                                                                                                                                                             

A decent selfie is incredibly difficult, especially for us blokes! I took dozens before I got a couple I considered sufficiently un-bad!                                                                                                                                                                              

mountainstomper welcome jump in enjoy 

Bandito12 i like your pic  hugs x                                                                                                                                                                              

And IMHO, hats shold be banned from profile pics!                                                                                                                                                                             

I am of the same opinion as bandit, pics shouldn't be made compulsory, good, bad or indifferent. If you don't put one up you will get less attention than others. If you do decide to put a pic up as long as you face is visible should suffice, and you could a native American headdress and nothing else as far as I care.

we'll I've put the most up-to-date picture as my mine one  who will be the second                                                !
