Today, I realized my online dating profile has gotten more views with no picture than it has with my picture. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was talking to a girl online and she stopped talking to me abruptly after seeing my picture. FML
Today, I finally exchanged pictures with the woman I've been seeing online for some time now. She replied, saying "Thats not funny. Some people actually look like that." I sent my real picture, and thought I actually looked pretty good in it. FML
Today, I put on makeup for a picture. My Facebook profile picture. That's how much of a life I actually have. FML
Today, I went on an online date. I'd spent a while getting ready and making sure I looked good. When I arrived at the café, I saw my date and approached with a smile. He stood up, looked me over, and said, "Oh, I thought you were your profile picture’s friend." Then left. FML
Today, I was browsing the internet and I found a picture of my girlfriend on uglypeople.com. FML
Today, I finally met the guy I've been getting to know online in person for a date. When we saw each other, we both realized that we had heavily Facetuned our profile pictures. The awkward silence that followed was the longest five minutes of my life. FML
Today, I signed up for a dating site and used a photo of my mother and me at a wedding. Everyone stops responding when they find out they're talking to me and not her. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I looked nice in my profile picture. I began to reply, "Aww, thank you!" until he sent another message saying, "Mostly because your face isn't in it." FML
Today, a friend showed me my husband's online dating profile, which includes photos of him with our kids. FML
Today, I uploaded my latest picture onto a photography website. It only got one comment, and even that was from someone advising me to never use the same hideous model ever again. It was a self-portrait. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

No picture = a hopefully gorgeous person in their minds

That's because they think you're mysterious without a picture? Maybe use a different picture. Shoulders back, big smile, good lighting, some photos just aren't flattering

don't loose faith OP. it's not the look that matters but how natural you look and how much confidence and happiness you display.

Don't confuse lose with loose.

Well if they're only going to talk to you for looks then they're not really worth it, atleast without a picture they get to really meet you :)

Oh come on stop with all this personality stuff. Yes I do agree that personality is a big part but if the person does not appear initially attractive to another person then they more than likely won't end up together. Humans are shallow most people would go looks first then get to know the person.

May I suggest that you use an alternate photo for your profile? Don't worry, OP, most people are not photogenic and photos are a poor representation of what we look like. Humans are use to seeing each other at multiple angles, photos usually don't provide us that luxury.

Well spoken! Couldn't have put it better myself. That's probably why children are more photogenic, they rarely actually pose...

Put a picture up describing your personality, break the system!

A picture is worth a thousand words so make it a good one.

Make sure you have someone else take your pic... I don't think "selfies" ever turn out very well.

A little bit of mystery does the trick.

I love the sentiment here, but please avoid text speak on FML. We don't have a 140-character limit here, so it's really not necessary :)
