Info - ice breakers image instead of text

Hi,

I would like you views on Ice Breakers on dating sites to break the ice.
For example:
If you was a member of a dating site and was to receive a kiss as an image instead of text, would you think this is childish/silly?

Re: Info - ice breakers image instead of text

If someone sent you a kiss via a dating site, if you was a member.
Do you think it would be childish/silly to get a image of a kiss, instead of text saying you got a kiss.

No.

Although the one you've chosen seems to have the same expression that I seem to recall seeing (accidentally of course) on some inflatable dolls.....perhaps best to find something with a bit more class

Re: Info - ice breakers image instead of text

I don't think it's childish at all. You have smilies everywhere these days even on mobile phone texts.

Hardly seems worth having a poll about but there I'm 56, what do I know?

Re: Info - ice breakers image instead of text

I think it's OK to use an image if you can find one that says the right thing. Not to keen on the Barbie smilie but looking around the sites I use most smillie kisses are quite feminine. This one made me smile. ....

Re: Info - ice breakers image instead of text

I think they are good but only if you have text with them. They go together.
Some images can look ridiculous. I guess it depends on the image.
