In this informal monologue, the speaker recounts a conversation with his brother about the disappointing quality of men’s photos on dating platforms like Facebook Dating. He describes how many profile pictures appear blurry, out‑of‑focus, or otherwise unflattering—often looking as if the subject was caught in the act of something illegal or resembling a “serial killer.” The speaker attributes this to a widespread lack of effort among men to present themselves well, criticizing the cultural norm of neglecting visual presentation when seeking dates, relationships, or casual encounters. He urges men to take the time to capture clear, attractive photos, emphasizing that looking good in a profile picture should be a basic, easy step toward successful online dating.

Let's talk about shit pictures on dating sites. The other day my brother was over from the States and we were just messing around on Facebook Dating and I was just showing him all the pictures of people that were presenting themselves to me, during which time he was going, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, uh, maybe, nope, nope, nope. And he would— because he'd never seen them before, you know, he doesn't— he's not gay, so he, he doesn't get displayed men, plus he's happily married. I think he was very surprised. He was like, God, why are all the pictures so dreadful? And I was like, because that's the way they are. Nobody, nobody makes any effort. They don't even attempt to take a good picture. And so you're just confronted with these pictures which look like somebody's just caught you doing something that was illegal or you shouldn't have been doing, or taken you by surprise and they're all sort of fuzzy and out of focus, or you just look fucking awful. And I just think if you're trying to get a date, if you're trying to find a relationship, if you're trying to just get laid, I mean, what the hell? Try and look good. How difficult can it be to just make sure that the pictures that you're displaying on your dating profile don't make you look like a serial killer. I mean, how hard can that be? How hard can that be? Clearly really hard if the pictures of most of the men that I get presented with are anything to go by. Guys, give me a break. Just try and look good.
