3 Photos You Need To Include In Your Online Dating Profile
3 Photos You Need To Include In Your Online Dating Profile
Besides the headshot, there are five shots that are necessary to include in your online dating profile in order to achieve the best results. In this article I will cover three of them, and my next will cover the other two. Lets get started:
1. You in another country or traveling somewhere famous in the US:
You need to give the impression that you are interesting. Traveling does that. Depending on the pictures you take and the effect you're trying to make, these shots can also make you seem adventurous, which is an almost universal turn-on for women. Even if you haven't been out of the country, get some pictures of yourself at an amusement park, a national landmark, or someplace people want to vacation to.
If you're from a smaller community, go to a big city like New York or LA and take shots on 5th Avenue or in Hollywood. It's best if you can be doing something interesting in your pictures. You sitting at a restaurant eating ice cream in Africa with a bunch of your friends from home doesn't convey "adventurous". It shows you're the same boring guy when you travel. So get a shot of you white water rafting, eating raw bamboo worms, climbing a rock face, or holding a gun on a safarianything that shows you live life on the edge a bit.
2. You in any kind of leadership position:
What you're after here is to show that you are a leader. If you have a picture of yourself in the front of the room with people in what might look like an audience, use it. If you don't have a shot like this, you can fake one. Get a bunch of friends together, or wait until they're together, like at a party or something, and then ask them all to stand around you while you explain something. Maybe not everyone's friends would do this for them, but some of yours will. So use the opportunity.
Likewise, if you have the opportunity to give a presentation at work, dress nicely, get up front and have someone take a picture of you, or preferably, a bunch of pictures, so you can sort through them for the best shot.
You can find a public meeting and get your pictures. Go to a PTA thing or something at the Rotary, a Toastmasters meeting or whatever. Ask if you can make a quick announcement and then have someone take a bunch of pictures of you in front of the group while you simply thank them for letting you come to their meeting.
3. A full body shot:
Even if you're not in the best shape, include a shot of yourself from head to toe. All you're looking for here is to give them a glimpse of all of you. The devil known is better than the devil unknown.
Your full body shot can be close up or far away, depending on your physique. If you are in good shape, get the camera in close so they can see that you have a decent body. If you're not in the best of shape, there are a couple of things you can do to disguise it. Taller is more attractive to most women, so there are a few things you can do to give that effect. Taking the picture, or cropping it later, so there isn't much room at the top of the photo will work. So will having your picture taken with people shorter than you. A shirt with vertical stripes will make you seem taller and slimmer as well.
If you're overweight, put up a picture from farther away, so you're smaller in the frame. With lots of space around you it's harder to see what kind of shape you're really in, and it gives you more room in the picture so you look smaller. It also helps if there's something huge in the background that towers over you, like a house or a mountain.
All you have to do is let them see you don't have one leg or six fingers. And if you do, well, I've already covered that in a previous article!
By including these and the other pics I've gone over in this series of articles, you'll be on your way to dating success in no time.
