1. Intro

I was asked about posting photos on online dating websites, so here we go:

2. Use As Many Pictures As Possible

The more pictures that you have, the better. When you have the maximum amount of photos, you increase your chances of being contacted. You want to go for consistency. And what I mean by consistency, is that you want multiple photos that show you are who you say you are. Ever ran into a girl that has one or two photos, but you can’t tell if she’s fat? You just want as many pictures as possible so that women are assured that you look like what she thinks you look like.

3. Go For Variety

I have a few photos where I’m in a party atmosphere, a few where I’m just chillin’, a few with my entire body showing, and a few zoomed in on my face. You just want to give people a view of your personality, and show that there are multiple sides to you. You want to display that you are a man with depth to you. And depth is always good.

4. Women, But Not Too Many

I believe that one of the mistakes I made when I first started messing around with online dating, was that I had too many photos with women, and I came off as a player and not like I was serious about online dating. A few women contacted me about that, and it is actually a turn off. It doesn’t matter if you are kissing them or not, women on those websites will assume that if you have a lot of women in your photos that you are a player. However, you do want to have at least two photos of you with women. It shows that they are comfortable around you, and that you aren’t some online creepy weirdo that women would avoid should they see you in public. This one is all about balance. Oh, and no photos of you kissing women or them kissing you.

5. No Shirtless Photos

I have one, but it’s more of a humorous one. If you have a great body and want to show it off, just post a picture of you with a tight shirt on. Women will get the message. If you take your shirt entirely off, you’ll look like a tool that is trying to be a try-hard. Women like great bodies, but when you are half-nude, it looks like you are trying to overcompensate for a lack of depth in your personality.

6. No Self Photos

No camera phone pics, no webcam pics, and no pics in the mirror. When someone sees those they think “Does this guy have no friends?”, and you lower your own social value without even realizing it. Go out with friends, and have them take a few photos of you, preferably with people.

7. Differentiate Your Profile Picture

You will have one main profile picture that will show up in searches. Random women will send me messages saying that my profile picture stood out from the crowd, so they decided to check out my profile. Take note. Don’t go for the typical profile picture. It doesn’t have to be your best picture, but it should definitely be different than that of the typical profile picture. Post a picture that’ll jump out and lure women in to check out your profile. Your main profile picture is your bait.

8. And Most Importantly, Smile!

This cannot be overstated. No one wants to meet someone that looks all depressed and “hard”. Women want to be with the fun, wild men that know how to have a good time. You want your pictures to say “This is my life, and it is better than yours!”. Always remember that if your life appears to be better than hers, she will want to be a part of it.
