Extreme photo cropping

When I was living overseas, many of the men on the online dating sites would post pictures of inanimate objects, or internet memes.  Anything but a picture of themselves.  I figured that they were trying to avoid outing themselves as daters, while they work through the process of an arranged marriage.

Now I'm in New York, and am still seeing pictures that have been awkwardly and extremely cropped, so that you can't see a guy's face.  The text usually claims that the person works in a small field and doesn't want to risk gossip.

Dudes, it's just online dating.  You're not taking a hit out on someone. 

Everyone does it.  Nobody cares that you are too.  You're making yourself look self important and silly.
