The Successful Profile Redux

Guidelines for Your PC

As mentioned before you want to stand out from the crowd. From here on out I want to you think of yourself as "not like the rest".

Shallow as it may seem your pic is the first thing that people are going to look for. Now repeat after me. "Reality". Take a deep breath. Let it go.

So what's in a picture you ask? Well. Everything! If the eyes are the window to the soul your profile pic is your entire physical existence!

There are some rules to posting pictures online if you want to score, er, I mean, to get people to look at your profile.

1,) They need to be recent photos
2.) They need to grab attention
3.) You need to be able to see what you are looking at

In other words they need to be close up.

Attention!

The next time you cruise, yes I said cruise...when you cruise pics online count how many you passed up. Just for fun.

Look at why you skipped over them. On second glance some of them had deep brown eyes just the way you like.

You cannot afford a second glance in online dating. Kill or be killed! Hunt or be hunted. Ok wait stop...

You don't need just one pic, you need two and both need to be stellar representation of you.Why waste money on a singles site if you don't invest? Face it. You need better pics.

A face shot and a body shot will work. There is nothing worse than seeing a picture taken from far away and that is the only pic in the profile. I paid money too you know!

Some good pictures will show things that you like to do. If your hiking or camping, those can be fun pictures. If you sky dive, use that pic as long as your face is not distorted by gforces.

It's perfectly acceptable to post pics of you and friends at a party or a bar. Be very clear of which one is you? Are their two hot red heads in the pic? Are you two twins? You must be clear.

Do you have pictures of you and your pet? Or maybe a picture that was published in the news or online.

Posting pictures of your kids works well if you are looking for a relationship, or marriage but not if you are looking to just date or have activity friends. Mention you have children if you like, but just don't post the picture. You will get more responses that way.

So what type of pics make the bad list?

-Pictures that are blurry.
-Pics that are too far away.
-No scribbled out ex’s!
-No ex’s at all!
-No nudes or lewd photos unless it’s an adult site. Apparently anything goes in there.
-No bad hair days. Facial hair included.
-Don't post silly or humorous pics. The plan never works the way you expect it.

Next I will be blunt with some gender specific complaints and ways to correct them.
