Unlockables: Keep Your Background Simple

lurid digs

From Lurid Digs to the defunct Hunters and Gatherers, several blogs have been created to specifically make fun of all your tacky ass interiors. So what possesses guys to continue making the same mistakes? When someone is looking at their photo, they want to see your goods–not that you have The Last Unicorn and High School Musical 3 on your DVD rack.
When taking photos for your MANHUNT profile, you should attempt to keep your background as simple as possible. Armed with your trusty ten-second timer, clear off some space on one of your (non-patterned) walls and take some photos against it. Whether you're facing the camera or bending over against the wall, the simplistic background will keep the focus on you, exactly where it belongs. 
Taking a photo on your bed? There's nothing wrong with cuddling, but no one wants to see your stuffed animal collection when they're thinking about bonking you. Evict your teddy bears from your comforter prior to your photo-shoot. The same goes for any pillows, sheets or other items that have complex patterns, characters or logos on them.
Do you have a knack for brightly colored walls, furniture or other items? Well, you can take a picture on your hot pink couch without sacrificing your dignity (sort of). Once your photo is on your computer, simply convert it to black and white. This can be done in even the most simple photo-editing software.
In conclusion, the golden rule is to remember what's most important about your profile picture… you. Whether it's interiors or your choice of clothing, simple is almost always better. You may not notice while you're taking the picture, but the plaid shirt you're wearing will clash with your leopard rug and somebody else will definitely notice.

  1. k, ya, these backgrounds are pretty awful and totally counter point and overtly distracting from the whole point… if anything a distracting background you should learn interesting things about the person n a very subtle way like managing to pick out what’s on their blurry out of focus tv in the background of the small corner of it you can see slightly or whatever.
    the first pic though is just awful. straight up.

  2. Well,the guy with the Christmas wreathes could caption his hot pic withmCome here so I can be wreathing under you!Hey,his aint as bad as the guy with the flag and the statuary.LOL
