Online Dating Profile Tips: Choosing The Right Photo

Author: SaraMusfeldt Total views: 6 Word Count: 461

There is a lot of talk about posting the right photos on your online profile and for good reason because a bad photo will ruin your chances of making an online connection. Be sure that the photos you post do not portray some kind of characteristic that is a turn off to the person you are trying to attract. Here are seven key elements to consider when choosing your photos.

Be Unique, Element One: First and foremost look at other profiles and take notes of what you see. If everyone else is drinking a beer in someone's backyard or at a baseball game, then you should not be and choose a picture that sets you apart. Try something that brings out your personality and fun. For example, you could post a photo of you holding a sign that says "Will you go on a date with me?" against a bright blue wall.

Element Two, Being Repetitive: Include a photo or two of you in Spain if the "About Me" section is focused on your travels to Europe. Choose pictures then that correspond with your profile. Repetition will make you be a little bit more memorable.

Be An Editor, Element Three: Download and use free graphic editing software to edit your photos, there is plenty out there for you. Do not be afraid to edit photos. I am suggesting you should crop the photo so you and only you are the focus. I'm not saying you should make yourself look different than you are. Feel free to brighten up the color and contrast and get rid of that red eye and big pimple so that your wonderful features are highlighted.

Being Dressed, Element Four: Of course your great body is a worthy marketing tool, but make it known without being too over the top; put your shirt on. Eventually, it's most people's preference to date someone they can bring home to mom and dad. Your number of possibilities you reduce if you portray yourself as a sex god.

Element Five, Be Alone: Leave kids and pets out of it. Yes it's true that a lot of people are impressed by the sensitive side, but after you've seen four or five profiles that include pics with a niece or puppy it becomes transparent that it is a ploy.

Element Six, Be Happy: Your smile and eyes should be present. We want to know what your face will look like looking back at us so take off your shades and post at least one picture that shows all of your happy face.

Creating Variety: Element Seven: If the site allows it, make sure to have more than one photo so we can not just see what you look like, but see what you look like doing the things you love.
