My top vote without a doubt would be a decent head and/or body shot with the face clearly visible, period. And if that's not in the public photos, please send me that one. I do enjoy the ones that show a guy involved in something (boating, with his dog, etc.) but 90% of the time the photo is blurry or too far away to see anything. I'm sorry, but we all know there has to be some sort of attraction there to begin with, and I can't even start to make that connection with a blurry photo. :) Aside from that, any body shot will do - I am a sucker for chest and arms myself.

We agree about the pic of the couple together. Other than that we give a lot of photos and like to see photo. They all say a lot. We like to see what people think is important and good. Patrick pattie

My top three in order:
6. Full face shot. Head and shoulders.
7. Swimming suit or equivalent. Facing camera.
2. Preppy shot. Dressed for a date.

My bottom three:
9. Full nude shot with erection.
10. Fuck shot. Blow job, penetration close-up, etc.
11. Lifestyle couple shot. Shows male with his lady in a lifestyle context.

We also require a shot of any kind that shows the male & female halves together, proving to us that you do know that woman & HAVE been in the same room as her at some point in your life!

I really prefer nice face and body shot, fully clothed is fine. Whatever the setting it should show something about the person we are going to meet (minus the exception below). Even if the guy doesn't have a model's body (we don't!), just want to see accurate pic of who we are going to meet. For a couple, shot of both together is always nice to know that they were at least together long enough to have a pic Lifestyle action shots are fine, not required. Some things I don't like (and have seen!) - for single guys, the "girlfriend cut out the pic" shot. - pics with fish or other wildlife. I am not wanting someone to provide dinnter. this is just personal pet peeve of mine - nude pics of guys straight on to the camera. I have seen some where it looks like the guy is 1" erect. Come on, get a better pic than that. Probably not allowed on here anyway. Main thing is to just put some effort into the pics to show off what you are and why we would want to meet you. Linda

The top three I want to see:

1) the preppy shot 2) the full face shot 3) the swimming suit shot.

Bottom three: 1) party shot 2) full nude shot w/o an erection 3) fuck shot

Although, through personal e-mail I always welcome the full monty shot! LOL!

face and full body shot with clothes on
nude body shot...like to see all those pecks
GQ shot....love to see a well groomed man...

Arms...yes...yum! Just don't cross them in front of you and push your muscles out with your fists (yes, we're on to you)...a more natural use of them is great. There was a great pic of a great biker guy and he was in his old pick up truck with his arm out the window (okay, we're ALL rednecks) and that was just a "darn good un."

Again, someone tell me why all these great people are in Texas, so far away from Virginia where I could get my hands on them?

HEY ATLANTA,
are you calling MWAH a redneck? Well, my ring tone IS redneck woman by gretchen wilson..............so maybe your on to something. LOL
I'm NOT a redneck. AND I'm Texan, so I don't have an accent, we have DRAWLS in Texas LOL.

Tim,
I personally don't mind sexual pics in a man. I just don't like it when thats ALL thats there. And, I prefer using some creativity. Don't just show me the famous dick in the hand shot. Nice ones for men to me: if you have a nice, toned chest the open button downed shirt is always good. Even better, unbutton your jeans and take the picture. Getting out of the shower is always nice, with just your towel on. Show me your arms, because I personally LOVE men's arms LOL.
Shelly

Well, ATL, if you call me Darlin' in that southern drawl, that would be it for me...I'm with you Shelley on that.

Your pics are outstanding. Guys, take note. This one really works.

As for the erotic pics, if there are pics of sex acts and they're enticing...the ones where we (I should say I) can picture myself in the place of the woman pictures, then yes, they're effective and attractive.
