Absolutely, nothing more off-putting than an untidy home

but then a full folder of only boob pics, or cock pics is a total off put too

come on girls, guys, we have all seen a cock and boobs, why fill your page with them

We do it with all photos. Not just on profiles of people we may meet. How easy is it too tidy up or simply just move your shite out the way when taking photos.

I definitely do check the background in photos as it tells you a lot about a person. You can tell a house proud to a grubby person.

If one doesn’t care about presentation which everyone can see, how much effort will one put on the things that can’t be scene?

Background, nails, feet have all got to be immaculate and presentable.... think I may have ocd lol.

"And the foreign light switches and plug sockets of people from Yorkshire "

I always check the backgrounds, and have spotted European and American plug sockets in supposedly UK-resident profiles...

....I mentioned the EU sockets in one instance, and was told the photo was taken "on holiday, in Spain" - but they were then at a loss to explain the books visible all having what appeared to be Eastern European titles...

What worries me, though, is when people post genuine photos without checking what else they're inadvertently showing - such as family photos on the walls, or, in one instance, a diploma/certificate with a name clearly visible...

There is a huge amount to be learned about a person and their pictures.

Contradictions...non smokers holding a cigarette, safe sex only with bareback pics, wedding bands on single hands, that sort of thing.

Got a pic years ago from a bloke who insisted he was 50 but the picture he sent from his care home with other residents in the background told another story.

I once saw a photo of a lady with a pair of knickers on the bed with a well used sanitary towel wrapped around. People really should check before they crop their head out and the picture zooms in automatically. An opportune shot gone wrong. I did message her to tell her, she was embarrassed, deleted it and thanked me.

To be fair, I do this stuff with porn too.

Plug sockets can tell you *where* a picture was taken, and computer hardware can tell you *when* it was taken.

I need style and decor tips for free, I'm not buying House Beautiful, when pics here give it all away. Dos and don'ts.

There are sites that collect photos from sexual contact sites and critique the decor, as well as the profile holder

. Your pics may be hot property for more than your body, so beware. And, as with many things that like a broad portfolio, your pics and you may be stretched over some pages of the books published.
