8 Do’s and Don’ts For Your Profile Pic

It’s important to take time to get your profile photo right

There are so many ‘cring’ moments we encounter when scanning the dating sites. All too often we swipe left within a nano of a second because the photo we see doesn’t appeal. How much better engagement would there be if the swipe left was converted. A decent, well lit pic has the power for us to investigate further – with the potential for an interested viewer to learn more about you…so yes…a good pic will make a difference…

Here are a few of our tips

#1 Don’t use group photos as a profile pic – it’s just about you

#2 Do Smile – it attracts more attention and intuitively make you look friendlier

#3 Don’t do a selfie – especially taken in a mens or ladies public toilet yes, people do that way too often – instead have a friend take a decent photo of you or put your phone on a timer

4# Don’t apply any filters ladies – you are gorgeous just the way you are

5# Don’t shoot in direct sunlight – it creates a silhouette – the pic must be clear – after all – what can we tell about you if you hide behind a shadow

6# Do look directly at the camera – try different angles and be creative and have fun with it

7# Don’t use an old photo- it must be recent – if you don’t have any – then get a friend to take some of you – or use the time delay on your smartphone
