Online dating is a growing phenomenon, so how do you get the best out of your online dating profile and maximize your chance of meeting that someone special? That's easy... become picture perfect!
We have all heard the sayings; "first impressions count" and "a picture tells a thousand words." Clichés yes, but nevertheless very true.
It has been proven that a profile with pictures is viewed more so than those without, therefore if you are serious about meeting someone then what are you waiting for? Add a photo or two.
Photo Tips & Advice
Smile and the whole word smiles with you
Show potential matches that you enjoy life! A smile will not only make your photo look better, but is also more inviting. People viewing your profile will feel comfortable when they see a friendly face.
Someone call the fashion police
What you wear is a reflection of who you are – e.g. if you are a gym lover, sports fanatic then wearing sports gear in your photo is a true reflection of you. If you live in your jeans having a photo of you in a suit would not be a true likeness of you. Also wear plain clothes that don't distract the viewer from the best feature – YOU.
The Lone Ranger
Make your photo about YOU. Crop out other people if possible, so it's clear who you are. After all, you want all the attention to be on you.
Quality not Quantity
Ensure you have a good quality shot, that highlights your best features, especially your smile, people are more likely to be attracted towards a smiling face! Also ensure the photo is a true likeness of yourself today not one scanned in 10 years ago!
So there you have it, if you don't want to miss out on meeting the one; just upload a single photo. It is more likely to get your profile viewed by a potential match.
Happy Dating!
