  ...the profile pic is what matters most, the rest is window dressing, icing on the cake or just plain shit.So....if it works for your purposes, then stick with it. Don't give too much importance to the whole "Using RHP properly" thing. I'm paying good money to use it how I want to, which is....I don't know....as long as it's not hard work.

  i think its always helpful to put up recent photos. 6-10 years i'd certainly be doing away with ... 2-3 well.. maybe.. if you point out to the person you are chatting with that they are older. Your main one should be recent though even if it does look the same as your current one JMHO

  Say so in your profile and you would, imo, be offering an interesting insight over a period of time. That would be honest. Cheers, Peachy 🍑

  It doesn't represent how you look now

  I always have recent pics up, though I mix them with ones a few years old. Ive actually just put one up that isnt mine last night.. Its a graphic though. I think misrepresentation of yourself is just plain silly. However like someone say's, your aim is to attract in the first instance. Its quite interesting how a pic attracts. This ice one doesn't attract to much attention but the one of my work shirt does. The age range differs too. It seems the younger lads want to be spanked a little... 😇 - Posted from rhpmobile

  I was reported to RHP for being fake I have put up new pics once a month. As long as you still look the same I dont really mind how old your pics are. But if you are 50 and have pics of you when you were 25.....thats a big no no

  Women notice physical changes more than men do. And I think we are more critical of ourselves in how we project our image. If I change my hair style, I will delete pics and put new ones up.I have chatted with guys that have varying pics of facial hair/none or tattoo in one and not in another pic. Most justify it as still looking the same but without the beard now. Even if I dont think it looks the same, I think they honestly do.

  KG said, don't sweat itDoesn't make much diff. A few pics will be enough to get contacts and they you can get into details with them in convo.Not too many. Same for the profile.too much info is worse than not enough. I started here with a profile that read preference for a women who: "can use power tools and preferably lathe and mill" And I wanted to meet: "Santa" I still got contacts and various changes to it had nill effect.They decide from pics if they want to make contact and once they do and you are talking then detail gets covered so it doesn't need to be in the profile. If they don't like what they see they wont care much about what they read in your profile. To that end don't use flash, it gives a deer in headlights look, reflections on the face can look like sweaty face and a flash shows up more on your face than they will ever see even if they meet you.Use ambient light, either sun or lights inside and turn off the flash. Only reason to add more info to your profile is to limit those who contact you to state what you "don't want".

  Perfect and simple answer Uni. On point. \ I do upload a new pic almost every 2 months, just to keep it fresh ... and confusing to many.... Lol. For me, it would be time for a man to change his profile pic when the Sepia ink in his pics seeps out onto my screen every time I lick it....

  Good work, but I also love looking back at your older pic's too as they show how your confidence has evolved since coming on RHP. Cheers Paul.

  when your face and physique is not same as your profile pic. hence I have a few body pics and facial pics in my public and private galleries. Like most women, body weight and shape will flunctuate 1-5 kgs depending on the day of month nad the time of year... silly season vs. the rest of the year./.. Early on my membership here, I got chatting to a hot man, he was nice, smart, great profile and sexy pics, handsome dark haired brooding looks.. Imagine Daniel Day-Lewis in 'The Last Mohican'. To die for. Everytime I get to chat to him, I had to wear panty liners and place plastic sheets on the floor as he does gets me wet... Anyhoo.... we decide to meet.. after about 3 weeks chatting. He had every excuse in the book why he cant meet straight awaw. I being the innocent sweet ingenue I was then and not in a rush to meet people, waited patiently until he was ready to meet. I thought like fine wine, worth waiting for. We set a meeting at a small bar in the city, after work. I got there on time, my eyes squinting in the dim room, my neck straining looking for my 'Last Mohican' . I was immaculately dressed and coiffured of course. I walked up and down the long bar and not spotted him until he called out my name... and there he was at the end of the bar.. 2x as big as his profile pic, about 60-80 kilos heavier with a beargut protruding out from his tatty tshirt and cradled by the top of his jeans. "Where is my Daniel? ", i hear my inner voice devastated and moan in dismay.... Surely this man did not swallow the Last of the Mohicans? My Daniel is no more, the mohican extinct. I was stunned. I looked at him and told him he did not look like his pic. He said he is still the same person, but jsut a bit heavier. Apparently,. the picture was taken 8 years before at his brother's wedding. I told him that if he was 5-10 kgs heavier, i dont mind but to be twice as big is ridiculous. So I walked off the meet, but not before telling him to stop deceiving the women and put up recent pics. I blocked him afterwards. Not sure if he did change his pics but I could not care less. Just another lesson learnt early on the piece.

  Head pics are a necessity. .. but i say so to are body shots Like 'lilybethyname' said . I chatted for some weeks with a guy...shoulder shots only available .. Sounded nice ... looked great from available photos. Profile saying 180cm and 78kg. Agreed to meet. Searched the room for him .... only to find him in the corner at the rear of the cafe. Yes the face was factual .. the hight was factual ... the weight was ... NOT .. was actually 175 kg.... excuse was ... he didn't realise the 1 hadn't shown up in his profile. I didn't stay. If you cant be truthful with photos and profile ... you cant be truthfll in real life imo - Posted from rhpmobile

  Don't know how i'm gonna get one, but i guess i better get one. I'm not buying a selfie stick and all the arms length selfies that aren't head and shoulders only make me look derp for some reason. I actually was thinking of photos that aren't on my profile. nothing i've currently got is more than 5 years ago. But i'm a bit heavier than the body shot i do have, in fact i'm taking that one down. Can't really see my face and that suit is very flattering. believe me if it was a total lie i would not leave it up. I'm way too honest for that. Thanks for advice peoples. While i'm not actively seeking anything right now (too much going on to divide my attention further) i do like to keep my profile well sorted.
