Personal AdsA somewhat shocked friend writes, "I did not realise it is considered de rigeur to send a cock shot with the first email."
Welcome to the world of personal ads. How deep down the rabbit hole have you gone?

A big no-no...Never mention to anyone that you work in IT.
This screams to the woman (or man) concerned that you are sad, socially inarticulate, introverted and weird and probably spend more time than is healthy playing Tomb Raider in a darkened room.
She/He will assume you have no discernable fashion sense or style, that your personal hygiene is seriously lacking, and you are so nervous in social situations that you baulk at your own shadow.
They will also envisage a night of conversation about computers, microsoft and jokes about the Windows Operating system that nobody but IT employees ever understand.
On no account mention you work in IT, if the topic enters the conversation, simply lie and say you are a fluffer or rent boy, or something more credible than IT.
