The most interesting things  I found in the article had to be the "doing something interesting".  To get a date you need to have a conversation and having something interesting makes that easier.  This makes a lot of sense after the fact, but not something I had thought about before.<p>For example a photo of yourself with a NES controller in your hand playing Mario 3.  While I would have thought this would be a very 'bad' photo it might actually be very good because it is an easy fun (happy childhood memory for both sexes of a certain age) topic to start with.
