So one of my good friends is on a dating site.  She recently received an email that went something like this:

Hi there! How is your day going? You have some great pictures on your
profile. How recent are they?
Well I hope your week is going well...


She was wondering what 'great pictures....how recent are they?' means.  We both translated this to mean 'did you gain weight since they have been taken?'


Please let us know of what you might think said email means.
