We all know by now that you’ll get noticed far more often if you add a photo to your profile. Any old photo. So think what will happen when you add a great photo. We’re not talking about looking like the long-lost twin of Kate Moss or Jude Law. Just post a photo that shows you, looking like you.
Once you’ve followed the photo tips below, get your profile sizzling with our expert writing tips.
Be yourself
The camera can lie, but you don’t want it to. Use a picture that looks like the everyday version of you. That way you can be yourself when you go out on a date.
Live for today
Sure, you were cute as a baby, and that shot from 10 years (and 10 pounds) ago makes you look irresistible. But people want to get to know you, how you are now. That includes how you look. If you don’t have a recent photo, get a friend to take one.
Getting closer
A close-up clear photo of your face is your best bet to show you in your best light.
Shine!
Don’t be afraid to add a photo that shows off your personality. Whether that means flashing a big smile or making a silly face, a photo that lets the real you shine through will get noticed.
Don’t be rejected
Some photos don’t even make it past the approval stage. If your photo is of a group, shows nudity, is a collage or includes contact info, we can’t accept it.
