7 Easy Guidelines For Posting Pictures That Get You Noticed By Quality Men Online

You know the saying…A picture’s worth 1,000 words.

This is especially true when it comes to online dating sites.

Men are visual beings.  That’s why it’s so important to have a great picture representing the real you online.

It is the key for opening the door to being contacted by the Quality Men on a dating site.

Start by making sure whatever pictures you post show you smiling. No sour faces allowed.

Men love a woman’s smile and it’s often the first thing they will notice about you.

Don’t post pictures wearing clothes that are overly sexy or men will think you are looking for a sex partner, not a relationship.

And use these next 7 rules as a guide that can make or break your online dating experience.

1. Do post at least 2-4 pictures of you.

I understand you might feel a bit menopausal about your body these days.

So you think it’s best to only post a picture of your face thinking, once a man gets to know you and like you, he won’t care what you look like below the neck.

If you decide to meet, he’s going to see your body anyway so you may as well show it all upfront in a full length picture and let him decide what he wants to do about it.

Your power is in determining whether or not he is worthy of dating you.

 

2.  Do use a professional photographer or a friend who knows how to take a good casual picture.

You can get a professional picture taken for less than $100.

Using Photoshop, a pro can take a casual picture and quickly turn it into a professional one by changing the background.

A good picture will help you stand out from the rest of the pack – who, by the way, usually post not-so-great photos of themselves – and it can get you noticed quicker by the good men on there.

 

3. Do be the only person in the picture.

It’s confusing for a man to figure out which one you are.

You’re also setting him up to be attracted to your best friend instead of you.  Let him find her in her own picture.

Don’t post pictures with grown male children, male friends or with your dad.

Believe it or not, men will think you’ve posted a picture with an ex or a current beau even if he might be 30 years younger or older than you are.

 

4.  Use a current picture.

This is a common complaint of both men and women at online dating sites.

I remember meeting a man at a restaurant… I had to call his cell phone to identify him because no one in the place looked like the picture of the man I’d seen online.

Make sure your picture looks like you right now.

You’re not doing yourself a favor posting pictures that are older than 2 or 3 years.

5.  Make sure your face fills up most of the picture frame.

The scenery might be lovely but a man doesn’t want to use a magnifying glass to get a good look at you.

 

6.  Don’t post pictures you take of yourself in a mirror.

This is tacky and no one really wants to see what your toilet looks like behind your legs.

The background of a picture says a lot about your lifestyle and who you are.  Make it count.

Ask your kids or your neighbor to take a picture if you don’t want to use a pro.

 

7.  No kids or dogs as your main picture. 

I love my granddaughter and I love my dog.  You probably love yours too.

If you decide to put either on a dating site, make sure it’s the second, third or fourth picture.

And make sure they are pictures you’re in as well.

 

I hope you’ll let me know how these 7 tips work for you.

Until next time~

Believing in You!
