Popular dating site eHarmony recently released a list of potential photo types that are likely to make you “undateable” in the eyes of potential matches. The number four photo type listed is “You’re Dressed as a Superhero.” eHarmony made a point of saying that there is nothing wrong with dressing up in costumes for fun, however warned that some non-cosplayers may be put off by images of a potential partner dressed as a cartoon character.
I guess I’m asking the wrong crowd about this, but I assume we have some readers who like sci-fi and fantasy but don’t necessarily enjoy dressing as their favorite characters. What do you think? Would you be immediately put off by person who looked interesting but had a picture of themselves at a convention dressed as a super hero?

This is just hilarious. I agree with eharm. Reminds me of those pathetic guys on myspace that take a cell phone pic in the mirror with their shirts off! I mean really guys, what are you thinking?
I personally think this is why the sugardaddies genre of sites is taking off. Women want the superhero to be real! I will stick with sites like realsugardaddies.com and sugardaddie.com
