Choosing a profile picture on a dating website can be a daunting task. Everyone wants to come off as the cool and attractive single. While most people don’t put much thought into their profile picture, it is one of the most important attributes on a dating profile. Having a profile picture helps prove that you are human and it is your first connection to a viewer. If you have a picture of a soccer ball or a flower there will always be a sense of hesitation in the communication and some people won't even bother. You should always include yourself in your profile picture. It’s important to follow several steps when posting your picture to optimize your results!
- Be in the picture andbe close enough for someone to recognize you (don’t be 40ft away).
- Choose a picture that highlights your best features.
- Make sure the picture is a quality photo and not outdated.
- Avoid pictures with a lot of people or friends more attractive than you.
- Self-shot pictures are more successful than group photos
- Women should look directly into the camera while making a flirty face. Men should avoid smiling and avoid looking at the camera.
- Try to be doing something interesting such as traveling or at a sporting event.
- It’s good to have 3-5 pictures of yourself and avoid similar photos and similar outfits.
- Look like you’re having fun… Everyone wants to date a fun person!
I hope this article helps you take an attractive profile picture! Remember to always look confident when taking photos and don’t put a photo up where you look uncomfortable. Now have fun and go upload some profile pictures!
