Online Dating Advice For Women

No matter how much we value intelligence, a sense of humor, or any other non-physical trait about the opposite sex, we have to admit that appearance does matter to some extent. If you're trying to make an online connection with the man of your fantasies, you need to present yourself in the best-possible manner. Including great photos will help this a lot.

These tips will help you choose the best pictures of yourself for online-dating sites. As you look through your photo collection, keep these things in mind. They'll help you give all of your potential dates ñ perhaps even the future husband you've been waiting for the best-possible look at you.

First, you should use recent photos. Upload pictures taken within the last calendar year sooner if there have been major changes, like weight or hair color. Posting older photos is misleading, even if you're even more attractive now than you were when they were taken.

You can, however, still use older pictures. Be sure that you mention what year they were taken: that way, potential suitors know that they aren't as recent as the other pictures on your profile.

Each photo age is important, but what you do in these pictures matters as well. There is no one ideal type of picture for an online-dating site. That's why you should include a variety of shots. If you enjoy playing volleyball, for example, then a picture of you on the court or beach is a good idea. You can also include a posed shot say, one from your recent college graduation if applicable.

The idea is to show more than one aspect of your life. Uploading nothing but shots of yourself by your computer gives the impression, subconscious or conscious, that this is all you do. Showing other activities in your pictures helps potential suitors get a better feel for the things that you enjoy, which gives you something to talk about or, better, do when you agree to meet each other.

You're probably getting the impression that you should upload more than one photo when you create your online-dating profile. This is correct: you're a complex person, which you really can't convey with one snapshot. Spend some time searching through your pictures to find three, four, or even six or seven that best show your personality as well as appearance. Taking some time to select the very best pictures could very well lead to a wonderful relationship with the perfect man.

Finally, you should take a small, quick step to protect your images. Use any photo-editing software (including the free versions that you can download online) to add your dating-site username to the photos that you're using. This prevents romance scammers from swiping your photos and claiming the images for themselves. You don't have to do much: just use the software's text tool and add your username in a contrasting color. The font doesn't even have to be very large.

Now that you have a few things to consider, start poring over your photo collection. Remember, also, that you can swap out images. After a few weeks with one set of pictures, feel free to remove a few of them from the dating site and add others in their place. Eventually, you should hit the perfect combination of pictures: one that will attract men who are genuinely interested in the real you.
