The idea for this blog came from this thread, http://www.lpsg.org/1210372-post1.html. While LPSG is not a dating site many people have used it as such successfully. My tips are actually for the match.com or perfectmatch.com type of site.
These tips are specifically for posting photos on dating sites.
I don't want to see a guy with his arm around another woman! That makes me think they are still amicably together. It could be your sister but no one ever says that in the pic. I don't want to see him in a group of other guys either, because they never think to circle themselves. I have no idea who is the man placing the advertisement.
Common sense needs to be exercised. Unfortunately few people have that. :frown1:
Tips for posting pictures on dating sites:
-Post a clear, current, head shot of yourself
-Don't have other people in the picture
-Post more than one picture when possible
-Secondary picture should be a current full body shot
-Don't be drinking in the picture
-Is the only good picture of you really from your brother's bachelor party w/the stripper?
-Ladies, no cats in the picture w/you please. Mention your love of cats in your profile. (I don't know why dogs don't have the same negative cachet; but they don't)
-No Glamour Shots! Save those pics for your mother and family friends.
-If you are incapable of taking a decent self portrait, then have a friend do it.
-Better yet those photo booths at the boardwalk and the mall take a decent clear picture.
Not posting a picture on a dating site doesn't tell me that you are more concerned with personality than looks. It tells me that you are either ugly, lazy, or both.
