I'll be blunt.
Some of y'all (me) need some great photographs of yourselves for your online dating profiles.
Or at the very least so you have something nice or interesting to share.
Wanting to link up with a few people that would be interested in spending some time together and mutually help each other get some cool photos in our fave outfits.
It's one of those things that we don't think about but greatly improves and projects our self-confidence.
Anyway, if anyone's interested, I thought I'd get this topic started and maybe we can figure out some details from here.

If anyone wants to skip the selfie struggle and get some clean, natural portraits done, I’d love to help. DM me or reach out hey@pyari.photos

lol just checked your post history and to post regularly that you want to divorce your wife so she doesn’t have your kids to 11 days later asking to take photos for dating profiles is wild.

It's a wild time in my life right now to be honest.

I’m not single but still want good photos of myself. Recently went shopping and got some decent fits

hey, just wanted to throw my hat in the fray, I have plenty of digicams and film cameras and love the idea of wandering around and having a bunch of guys just take photos of each other relaxed and in the moment.
can't tell you how often I'll be out and about and come across a spot that is just missing a subject in the forefront.
I also have some lights and stands. I'd love to be able to get some reps, I shoot landscapes almost exclusively, but I'm open to the challenge.

Tired of looking at photos of men holding big fish

It's not the clothes.
It's not the location.
It's the lighting and the pose.
You can take great photos almost anywhere, in any outfit, as long as you understand light, framing, and what looks good on camera.
Learn how to light the subject, learn how to pose the subject, and your photos will be miles ahead of cell phone selfies.

Single men: please take this guy up on his offer! I've seen y'all's online dating photos.
twilightmoons@reddit
No sunglasses and hats while sitting in your car.
Also, no fish.

Honestly the pic is the least important thing in dating. Red herring as hell here.
Dallas men: fucking decide if you want kids or not. No open to it cause you will eventually want them and fuck a CF woman's life up with your indecision (based on stats). Also fucking put it on your profile and actually FILL IT OUT. Us serious daters read that shit. And read mine too. If you want a hookup, Tinder or reddit. ONLY.
(Disclaimer, I am checked out of dating for a good while so leave my DMs alone if you were thinking about it)
happyklam@reddit
I'm not single or a guy but this is legitimately wholesome and I wish you all a fun day of photography and adventure
Illustrious-Space169@reddit
Im def down I could not only use this for dating but for some just generally good photos of myself
Original_Bid5479@reddit
Do everyone a favor and decide a hard yes or no on kids. Then get that shit loud and clear on your profile. Read ours too. Over half the stupid men in my hinge one before I quit dating wanted kids and I plastered my child freedom all over it. Hinge is not for hookups yall. Y'all Dallas men are the most indecisive on it and it's the NUMBER ONE reason my CF and natalist female friends swipe no.

Single woman NOT DATING SO LEAVE ME ALONE in recovery who just left the dating scene here. Childfree and 30. Past five years, the most obnoxious thing I've seen on mens dating profiles is not their picture. It's that they REFUSE to read my profile and have extremely non descriptive profiles.
I NEEDED (and will in the future) to know if y'all want kids or not. I refuse a "not sure yet", then bro you aren't ready to seriously date! I refuse a "either way is fine" cause again bro you WILL change your mind against me based on the odds! I am single for two reasons only: YOU DALLAS MEN CANNOT FUCKING DECIDE ON KIDS and I have mental health and addiction issues.
Focus on figuring out if you want to overpopulate our burning planet or not first before you do this shallow bullshit.
Peace

SkyScreech@reddit
I have my Nikon FG if anyone wants some film pics 🤠 I’ve had a bit of a block lately but this sounds fun
ConsequencesDotLOL@reddit
The idea of someone named Stoic Spaghetti being the guiding light for men to update their dating profiles kinda feels like throwing noodles at the wall until you see what sticks. I'm not sure what to say, but I'll work on looking pasta it. Thanks for the local sauce!
syamanandkarra@reddit
I don’t have a DSLR, if You have one I am definitely interested.
stoic_spaghetti@reddit (OP)
I got you. But let's be honest, we don't need fancy equipment to take good photos for online use.
I'm good at posing and styling people. All kinds of people. I think that's the valuable asset I can bring to the table for anyone that's interested
syamanandkarra@reddit
I understand but for street photography a DSLR will help a lot.. Anyways I am down to try your creative edge.
Kingdanzerk21@reddit
I think this is so cool bro
