Apollolux, I am not too comfortable with posting pictures. (Let alone I wasn't even comfortable giving out my location.) The reason is that in other forum, I have seen/heard a guy getting into some serious trouble in his life due to the stuff he posted. Given that I try to maintain my privacy as much as possible. Besides, I can't post the pictures as I'm given an access to his portfolio for my pics. If I were to post the pictures, it will be basically equivalent to giving everyone access to portfolios and make their decisions. (Giving too much control, and can definitely mess things up.)
With regard to the photos, I asked my cousin to choose a few for me. She chose a few, and hopefully the pics will be good enough. One thing that was disappointing was that the earlier photos had lights in the background (literally captured lights), which made me and my cousin feel bad/mad as this is some amateur stuff. Perhaps the groupon's huge discount was an indicator of it. Nevertheless, it wasn't that expensive, (much cheaper than the alternative) and that even if the guy was an amateur, it wasn't a huge loss for me. However, if this is the case, I will have to hope that DMSI aura will do the trick. (I don't know how that works in online or in pictures.) Still what matters is that I took an action (although the result of it is yet to be seen), and that I have gotten probably the furthest I've ever gone to in my entire life with regards to dating, sex and relationship.
One thing that was interesting is that my cousin seem to know a little bit about online dating, even when she claims that she has never done it, and not interested in doing it. (Knew a little bit too much about pictures and etc.)
She apparently thinks highly of Coffee Meets Bagel, and does not like Tinder. Question is, can CMB work if I have small number of facebook friends, while most of them are not even in this country? (I think I may have total of 60 people in the US at best, and less than 20 are in the town)
Anyway, which apps and/or sites do you guys recommend? I was thinking Bumble, Tinder, Match, OkCupid, and maybe CMB. (As my cousin seem to show strong preference, even though she is denying it.)
