i have sadly feigned interest in photo albums

next time say no thank you, you will feel better about yourself

I don't think I have ever recruited anyone to share in a photo album with me BESIDES my parents' wedding album, which is fucking hilarious thanks to my dad's ridiculous baby blue tuxedo.

i'm too much of a "nice guy" to do that, cutty

I think the pre-makeout photo album is about more than the sitting-close thing. I think it's basically protection against feeling like a one-night stand. For one thing, it's an activity, so it's not like you just came through the door and started stripping -- more like you were "hanging out" for a bit and then just happened to get it on. And then, more importantly, it's like a hardcore "learn about me" activity, which seems ... well, I've encountered people for whom this seemed psychologically important, I guess? Like they needed to ground themselves and introduce you to photo surrogates of their friends and family before they were ready to fool around.

I think you mostly get this if you happen to be a quiet person, though -- like if those first "well, here's my room" moments are a little quiet and tentative, then hey, let's talk about these pictures. Suddenly I'm almost nostalgic for the slow lead-ups these things could take in one's late teens.

xpost You people are freaking me out: what do I have to do differently in my life to not have to look at everyone's photo albums ever? People are constantly making me look at that shit, and mostly not in the "seductive" way.

i'm always up for looking at a photo album i love photographs. sure sometimes they suck, but that's the chance you take. recently i learned that my friend's wife (who is also my friend but not as much) used to be a lesbian by looking at her photo album. it was all you used to dress a little weird oh is that some sort of parade hey wait a second.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 22:00 (seventeen years ago) link

i solve the photo album dilema by only having photo albums filled with pictures of my dog. everyone likes pictures of an awesome fucking dog.

Uh, I once house-sat for someone who kept a photo album on the cookbook shelf in the kitchen...and there were nude photos in it. I would've felt guilty for intruding on their privacy but: IN THE KITCHEN.

two joys of brought together at last

― acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 22:03 (seventeen years ago) link

the other problem is the people getting offended when you flip through the photo album too fast

ARE YOU EVEN LOOKING AT THEM?

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 22:04 (seventeen years ago) link

laurel, sounds like someone gets their jollies from a "whoops how did that get there?? ....so whatdya think?" moment.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 22:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I...don't know? It was never mentioned.

My worst photo-album moments and fauxto-pas:

- high-school girl showing me pictures of her dog Bruno in photo album held directly beneath giant breasts in low-cut top, in US History class -- ME: "What's Bruno doing there?" HER: "Uhh, that's a cat." (okay this was 80% because I was distracted but 20% because her tits were actually obstructing my view)

- "Wow, your mom looks really young there!" -- directed at picture of daughter when she weighed more and had a bad haircut (especially bad because part of the point of showing me the album seemed to be to say "I used to be fat" and check reaction)

- Evading make-out moment due to picture of sister who lived in town and looked way cooler

- Picture of girlfriend's parents as young couple at costume party in blackface and ooga-booga "jungle savage" gear

- Doing too much mental detective work and asking who took the nude "self-portraits" that didn't seem possible given the camera's lack of a timer mechanism

Best photo-album moment: coming across uncaptioned series of photos of someone serving as one-day honorary postmistress of Japanese prefecture -- "Umm, so what's with the wearing a suit and being given a tour of some kind of sorting facility by a bunch of middle-aged Japanese men?"

People's vacation shots are the really grueling part. I mean, god, I know what Paris looks like, I know what you look like, I can put two and two together. Show me what you looked like when you were in high school, tell me funny stories about your college friends, and let's end it.
