When this is done, I should commission an artist¹ to make this scientifically accurate, world's hottest profile pic, using AI.

¹ Like a real one, not a "prompt engineer".

And yes, I am a weirdo 😻

@alice Since I don't date (I buy them at the supermarket - yeah yeah, you've heard that one a million times), I can only tell you what my immediate turn-offs would be.

(that's kinda how i work, easier to tell what I don't like.)

So that won't help you.

(I think I would give bonus points for cat somewhere in the picture, though.)

@alice

No bacon. Swipe whichever direction is no. Left?

And I'm guessing left from a song in Hazbin Hotel 🎶Sorry babe, but I'm not swiping right 🎶

@alice I remember two pictures from my now-spouse's OkCupid dating profile.

One was a sexy beach pic. Specifically, it was a windswept, overcast, PNW beach and she was wearing foul weather gear and looking at a collection of seal bones.

The other was a fuck pic. Or rather, a clothed picture of her grinning and extending her middle finger, saying "fuck you!" She told me later this was in the event one of her exes found her profile.

@alice

There I was, just scrolling my feed enjoying all the silent Sunday toots, minding my own business.

And out pops this toot, causing me to do a double take and have a hearty chuckle.

Thank you 🩵

@alice

What gets me really hot when looking at dating profile pics is a variation of your "Just dog/cat". I really like the ones where the woman is hiding behind her panting dog while reaching forward taking a selfie down its throat with its sloppy drooling tongue hanging out.

I'm assuming this is a metaphor. Instant right swipe, of course.

(lol people not spotting parody in this post)

@alice

Honestly, excluding the possibility you meant this ironically and I am missing the entire point I would have to say none of those turn me on.

Most also wouldn't turn me off either, depending the situations.

Except for the slop generated avatar, flaunting of wealth (like waving wads of cash)

The rest, ehh... There might be story behind why they posted it. That fish photo might be a trip they made with close friends, the dog/cat their pet, Smiley's on faces protecting others privacy.
