The best online dating photos - Online dating tips for men
77Your photo often makes or breaks your internet dating success.
Imagine an attractive but lonely woman sitting in front her computer. She visits a dating site and hopes to find her man. And wham!! Her screen is full of search results, hundreds and thousands of them. Put yourself into her shoes. What would you look at first?
That's right. She's going to look at the pictures first. If she finds an interesting picture she clicks to the profile. That's why it's very important to have a good main picture.
Without a good picture the rest of your profile doesn't matter. There's just too much competition and she never sees it.
There's a right and wrong way to use photos at internet dating sites. For the wrong way, just go check men's profiles at any internet dating sites. This is actually good news. It's easy for you to stand out when most guys get this wrong.
So make sure you get this right.
The right way to use photos in your online dating profile
Before we talk about the right way to use photos, let's think what women find attractive in men. No doubt, it's his confidence or attitude, humor and personality.
Those are hard to convey in pictures. We'll cover those with our headline and profile text.
So what else women find attractive?
A man with strong passions (no, not the bedroom passion - there's a time for that later), a great lifestyle and is on his mission in life!
Those are extremely attractive qualities in men. And we can convey those in pictures!
So when you build your profile, ask yourself, "How can I really show myself living it up in my photos?"
It's easy. You just need pictures of you enjoying your passions. Put photos of you in your hobbies, photos that show you having good time.
Throw in five photos into your profile. Two that show your face clearly, make sure one of these is your main photo, and three where you are engaged in your hobbies. If you have photos of you with attractive women throw in one of those also. That shows that other women enjoy your company and pre-approves you in her mind.
That's enough to convey everything you need. You can put more photos if you want to.
As a guy you have remember that women are very different from us. All we guys want is a hot and sexy woman who is fit and attractive. So as long as we see that in her pictures we are game. But women want to see a man with healthy lifestyle, friends and a lot going on in his life. That's why their Facebook profiles are full of travelling and hobby pictures, pictures of them in weddings and so on.
Avoid these online dating profile photo mistakes
Important photo tip! Don't use photos taken by professional photographers. In other words, don't go into a studio to get your photo taken. While they look good, they just come across wrong to women. Several women have told me that it shows that the guy is trying too hard. And appearing desperate is the kiss of death for your online dating success.
Finally, keep your clothes on in your pictures. No pictures of you flexing in front of a bathroom mirror. That's a huge turnoff for most women. If you have muscles women can see that even when you are wearing a shirt. Women like to imagine things. So give her the pleasure of imagining how your muscles look under the shirt.
Also, no photos of you drinking. That should be obvious, but judging by the amount of pictures of guys with beer bottles, it's not.
Again, this is good for you. Since most guys put outright pathetic photos and online profiles you can stand out by putting just a little bit effort into your photos and profiles.
There you have it. The formula for attractive online dating photos. Go ahead and try it. I guarantee you'll be positive surprised.
