Online is the top way people are finding their partners today. Let me give you five tips to make sure your online dating pictures represent who you are and increase your chances to connect with the desirable match.

Tinder is Not LinkedIn

You had that photoshoot for the corporate, for the branding and you look like the boss there. You’ve got the most assertive look. However, the qualities that are very important in your business, in your hustle are not exactly the qualities that you need when it comes to love.

Look at your pictures and see if the pictures that you have for LinkedIn are appropriate for your Tinder or any other dating site. Two platforms are quite different.

If you are putting the pictures of yourself where your looks say I’m the boss and I’ve got all this figured out. It’s very likely that this guy will be, Okay, I think I need to stay away from this because I don’t think I will even be allowed to plan the date or pick a restaurant.

Let that feminine side, the fun, the more playful side be shown in your pictures. LinkedIn is not Tinder.

Stand Out with Red

You want to have a pop of colour. What’s your relationship with red? Red is the colour of passion, the colour of love. It’s the colour that draws attention.

Imagine. He’s swiping and all these ladies dressed in beige and black and then boom someone wearing red pops. You can have a little red accessory, even a red lipstick. Wearing red makes you feel more flirty and playful.

You might already have a picture where you are wearing red. You can put that as your main profile. You could also ask your friend to take those pictures for you. Don’t be intimidated by red.

Easy On The Make-Up

If you are not someone that wears fake eyelashes and Instagram brows every single day your pictures must reflect that. Have a mix of pictures. Have a couple of pictures where you are all glammed up and then a few pictures where you look more like I woke up like this.

When you are going on that first date you want him to recognize you. Even if you have that makeup on point, in the morning when you take the makeup off, it’s still good when he can recognize you.

Rock Your Body

I remember when I used online dating sites, which I had a lot of luck with. I met a longtime partner there.

However, I did not know how to rock my body. All my pictures were cropped. No full-body images.

I did have a lot of guys messaging me and then asking to send a picture that is full size. I know you might be thinking, Oh I don’t want to do this blah blah blah… but everyone has got preferences.

It’s important that you have a mix of pictures. Your face a bit closer and then also the picture where you are rocking your body.

Remember that a man loves with his eyes. Give him a bit. It’s alright you give him a little taste, a teaser of what he is going to get.

Tell A Story

Tell a story with your pictures. Give something to your potential match as a conversation starter. It could be a place that you visited, your pet, your hobby. Give him something to talk about. Not just your pretty face. Tell a story.

He will look at your pictures, You are in Cambodia. I’ve also been to Cambodia. That’s so cool. What did you do there? What was your favourite thing?

Give him an opportunity to ask you questions. Also, it shows you as a well-rounded, exciting and interesting person. Not just the duckface selfies. That’s just boring.

There are so many interesting things about you, so many different colours in you, so why not show that in your online dating profile?

Have Fun

I really hope that you will find a fun way to look at online dating. Please, don’t get discouraged. Don’t look at it as just another match. Connect.
