I posted in the Trip Planning area about looking for potential tripping partners for 2018. Then I remembered my wild eyed profile photo that is totally out of character for me:


Thought I would replace it with this more "civilized" shot so as not to scare any potential trip partners off:




Which one would you be more likely to trip with or would it make any difference?

That's easy, the rock, definitely the rock.......

I dunno. In one picture you look crazy and in the other you are standing in the middle of a rapids. Of course, I've stood there for pics too.

Go with the top photo if there's a possibility you'll change your mind and want to do a solo.

Too bad you weren't wearing 3" heels in the bottom photo. I would love to see those responses; it would certainly make for an interesting thread.

I don't think I would look at profile pic to decide. I'd read previous trip reports of the person and maybe previous posts. A little crazy is a good thing imho, and ability to laugh at yourself invaluable!

Good one! Lol

Top photo makes you look like a fungi. Oh wait, I mean fun guy! ;)

If I saw that top photo on the Dating Site Tinder I would swipe left.

Zulu, i don't know what that means but I assume its not a favorable thing. Good laughs so far but nothing conclusive as to which picture to use?

Both are good photos.

I would use the bottom one though. People can relate to being Outdoors, identify with how you look, and envision themselves tripping with you.

The top photo comes across as a fun guy that would be great to hang out with but doesn’t reveal anything about the outdoors.

Still laughing ^^^

The top pic should help weed out the weak. ;) So it depends on what your lookin for.

Agreed and still chuckling.

I'm a goof ball my friends are also. I'll go with top picture!
