Combating the angles, part 3. (Bait and switch)

A very common technique is what I call the "bait and switch". This where the woman posts a profile photo with 2 different women on it. Example:

Okay, we have two women in this photo. There's a cute raver-type, and a skinny chick that looks like she fell asleep in the sun with her shades on. You get a picture like this and you focus on the cute girl, but as you look through the photos you find:



That's right, the profile belongs to the skinny chick. Not only is she skinny, but she is also a baby-making machine. Are you man enough to handle her and her three (four) kids? I sure as hell am not! The more extreme version is when there is only one photo on the profile:

Do you ask, "Are you the one on the left or right"? Or, "Are you the skinny one or the fat one"? Or perhaps, "What the fuck lady? Why would you post such a confusing photo"?

just ask "hey, are you the ugly one or the pretty one, you stupid whore?" that's how you can delicately skip over that whole skinny/fat issue. :-)

I would, but I'm far too delicate to ask that question.
