Why do some men use a picture of themself with a girlfriend or wife in a Personal Ad?

I don't understand it myself.  I think you're right and that it's them trying to show you, "hey look at me, chicks dig me and want to be in relationships with me!  I'm not on this personals site because I can't get women..."

its not a guy thing or a gals thing or whatever. but i do think it is mostly because the people are shallow. they only want to chat with people that look attractive. i have actually came across many of those kinds of people. i never tend to ask or show my pic, because i don't like shallowness. lol that's another thing i noticed about myspace, people are always looking for the more attractive people on there, and when someone they don't find attractive trys to add them as a friend they either reject them or delete them later.

alot of normal people are on personal sites... even married people...its just another way to connect yourself to the world...just be careful, jerks are on those sites too...most people think that they will appear desparate or something but it can be just the opposite sometimes....real people with real feelings are looking to meet others with same interest..if it works for them then its worth it in the long run

Its a breach of trust between you and your so-called friend. It is public unless you can get it removed. How do you stop people looking? Your friend needs a kick in the morals.

Might have something to do with the "masculine" image spread by those marlboro advertisements and the like.

I think it has something to do with the whole idea of sex being able to make anything sell or sell more than it would without sex.  So, if there's a shot of a woman's breasts in a commercial, that's the "money shot" for that commercial.

Oh my God this drives me NUTS!  I do not know -I think they are desperate for attention and they want the married person to crave the single life again.  You know, it's the whole, "I'm single and hot and you're married - your life must be dull so let me show you a good time."  Women do this even more then men and it's disgusting.  All they want is a piece and once they get it, they're long gone.  It's just sad.  Good question!

because if they don't, they realize they don't look as good. \nanother common theme is to turn up the contrast and brightness on the webcam or whatever to drown out the blemishes and complexion. this highlights the features, but it's still all about being fake.\na lot of girls on sites like hotornot or whatever do that. they also like to put in pictures of their cleavage or their butt.   so as to somehow lure in guys.\nwhat they fail to realize is it lures in idiots who fall for that crap, while the real men know it's all about being fake and the girl is a bimbo or just plain desperate.

guys want to attract the women's attention by showing off their talents or doing something stupid so the women can like them or for the women to know that men dont care if they embrasses themself

No matter where you are in the world, people want the same things.Sadly, these are primarily to be richer (or at least appear richer) and look better. So any advert which offers these things will be effective. The main differences in the markets would be in how the message is put across. Overtly sexy images might be offensive in some cultures, for instance.

The photographer owns the image unless they are working under some written agreement. They can't use your image for advertisement without your permission.

If they ARE indeed REAL photos -- either they're fishing for a compliment or using their "looks" (fake or not) to gain a few points. They know (or wish) they were good looking and want to share it with the world! I guess that would constitute vain. Either that, or they just want to further a porn career (have you seen THOSE 360 pages?! Of course you have. . . lol)\n\nIn the 'real world' a woman's looks steer her life -- she might get a job based on how she looks, she may get a man based on her looks, she will be voted "Most Popular" and prom queen based on her looks. She'll get waited on first in the bar based on looks, etc. etc.\n\nThe great thing about the Internet is that a woman can BE a beautiful woman and NOT SHARE it with the virtual world. Then she has the ability to let her personality, intelligence and wit have center stage. Now, that's HOT!

Sure, has'nt everyone? Had a G/F who was also into nude recreation. I gave the O.K. when she asked bout submittin some of our pix to a couple amateur sites. ( voyeurweb, and projectvoyeur.com) Nuthin to be ashamed of, and is a bit tittilating to think someon'es getting aroused from one'e pics.

Actually I did something like this once for a friend of mine. She was dating this guy and she wasn't really sure how sincere he was. So, I put up a personal ad incognito of course and snagged him. It was fun to play an alter ego of mine! She got what she wanted and I got to have some fun.

Ummmmm no idea! I always wondered that myself!  I hold my body as something special for the man I love and care about- not to be showing it to everyone in the world!  I think its part because they r drunk and stupid.  Other part is they r insecure and need constant approval of how good they are.

Some women desire men that aren't available to them for whatever reason.  It's silly actually, but there are many women and men that use the practice of only dating married people.

It's not normally legal to advertise sexual services.\n\nThe use of sexual imagery in advertising considered "a sure thing" in the advertising industry.  It prevents overpaid ad execs having to think too much.
