- Post a photo of yourself. Chances of meeting someone are greatly increased by including a photo on your profile. Make sure the photo does not exceed the 1 MB file size limit and is a JPG, PNG, or GIF file.
- Use recent photos that were taken within the past 6 months.
- Photos should reflect the best elements of you. Look your best.
- Be the focus of your shot – be the only person in the photo. Group photos can be distracting. Don’t post photos with a “friend” of either sex.
- Photos with animals, cars, boats, planes, motorcycles, etc. can also be distracting and are usually not effective.
- Just show you – your face – your whole face.
- Make sure your face is well lit.
- Photos taken in the mirror are not as appealing.
- Use your computer to adjust color, lighting, clarity. It’s easy to do – or ask someone to help you. With today’s computer technology, it’s easy to make a photo look good.
- Color photos are more effective than black and white.
- Avoid overly professional glamour shots – pretentious images can be intimidating.
- Avoid images where you are far away and cannot been clearly seen.
- Please post photos of yourself, not someone else.
- If you’re sincere about finding a partner, be authentic. Present your true self – not who you think you have to be to attract someone.
