When it comes to attracting men through photos, there are various suggestions and tips available on the internet. One article suggests that having a professional headshot, a full-body shot, a love shot, an epic dress photo, and a photo with friends can attract the right man. Another article recommends having a variety of photos that showcase your personality, such as photos of you doing your hobbies. However, it's important to note that the preferences of men vary and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Additionally, some women may choose not to use social media, and there is a slow trend of women being attracted to men who don't use social media. Ultimately, the best way to attract the right man is to be true to yourself and showcase your personality through your photos.
From Tinder to eHarmony and everything in between, your profile picture instantly determines which men notice you and why. It's no secret that men are visual creatures, and getting the right guy's attention starts the moment your face pops up on his screen. Without an effective profile picture, a guy won't give you a second of his time. He won't look at your other pictures, he won't read your profile - you won't get another chance. It doesn't matter if you have the most quirky profile text or if your third photo is of you doing a hobby he absolutely loves - if you haven't caught his eye with your profile picture, you're dead in the water. So here are 9 secrets to choosing the right profile picture that will always grab his attention - for all the right reasons.
It should be a high-quality face shot
It's imperative that your online profile picture is a good close-up of your face. Don't go for long or sporty shots - a guy should get an immediate idea of who you are and what you look like right away. A clear, high-resolution face shot is the way to do this. Your face shot should be one of your best. This doesn't mean you have to go to extremes with your hair and make-up, but it has to be enough to make them stop scrolling and grab their attention. Enough to make them want to click over to the most important part - your profile.
Don't cover up
This should be obvious, but I'm amazed at how many women wear sunglasses or have poor lighting in their face shots. Hats should also be avoided. Your whole face - every aspect of it - should be clearly visible in your profile picture.
Don't take the mirror selfie
It's never clear, it's backwards, and there are better photos of you. Either take a direct/nice selfie or have a friend take a headshot for you. Don't use mirrors!
No one else in the photo!
I can't tell you how many women I and other men have immediately dismissed online because there was another person in their profile picture. Girl or guy - it doesn't matter. If a man is even slightly confused about who you are, he'll rule you out without a second thought (unless he just wants sex and doesn't care). Don't use a photo with someone else cut out, and don't even use a photo with your child (he's dating you, not your children). Your profile picture should be clear and unambiguous - you.
Avoid too much sex
A guy shouldn't be thinking 'sex' any more than a guy normally would when he sees a woman's face. Cleavage and excess skin will lead you to a higher proportion of guys after casual encounters and get you attention for the wrong reasons. If you're looking for more than casual, don't be too sexual. Your profile picture should make him think "Wow, she's gorgeous" rather than "Wow, I want to hit that".
Avoid being too businesslike
Just as you don't want a guy to think 'sex' the moment he sees you, you don't want him to think 'businesswoman'. This is online dating, not a job interview. Wear something that represents your feminine side. Wear colour Studies have shown that women who wear colour in their profile pictures get more and better replies. Red is always the proven leader, but blues, oranges, pinks and greens have all been proven to outperform your boring shades - black, white, brown and tan - when it comes to getting a guy's attention. Flirty face, look into the camera Unlike men, a study by found that women get more hits if they look directly at the camera in their profile picture. The same study found that a flirty face with a slight smile got them the best results.
Make sure it's recent
Finally, your profile picture should reflect who you are. Right now. Today. If it's more than 6 months old, 12 months at the most, get rid of it. If you've changed your look recently, get rid of it. There is enough deception
