Pics or it Didn't Happen
Listen, there's no way to say this that doesn't sound at least a little bit sleazy, but you really need to include pictures of yourself. Representative, non-grainy ones, some of which are not just of your face. I promise, it's not that cheap and degrading, unless you're an "underwear selfie in bathroom mirror" rather than a "normal pre-existing photo of yourself doing an activity" person, in which case, it definitely is. But anyway, if you guys were meeting in person, you'd already be judging each other based on appearance, at least to some extent. This is not a crazy leap in etiquette. No one wants to be weirdly taken by surprise and then feel like sort of a jerk about the whole thing, and also, does anyone want to be on a date with someone who they feel like they sort of duped into it?
