[QUOTE=Nawth Chucka] Feel sadder that they fit into their social group just fine. And whomever they reproduce with will L-O-V-E their pictures and think they are too kewl and put them on their cellphones to show all their friends. [/QUOTE] That does make me sadder. It’s like we’re not even the same species. ---

Back when I was single, the one major rule that I have that was always broken was: Don’t post a picture of yourself with your hotter friends. We all have good looking friends, but when you post a picture of yourself with them, the only thing left is comparison. I also never understood the “let me zoom in on my eyeball” shot either. ---

(Unless, of course, you are the rabbit in that picture. Then I have to add a rule about not wearing full body costumes in dating photos.) ---
