Tweet

When it comes to online dating, one of the things that matter most is your profile photo found on internet dating sites. A picture speaks a thousand words. And with countless other individuals trying to seek other singles, the photo may be your best armor in the online dating field. Let's be honest. Girls can write the most charming "About Me" page but no one will read it if her photo wasn't interesting enough in the first place. The same is true when these girls are seeking out "datable" guys.

So what makes for a great photo on internet dating sites? To help you find out, we compiled a few tips below.

1. SMILE! - When someone flashes her pearly whites at you, it makes you feel special. At the very least, it makes you want to respond with a big smile of your own. The same is true in online dating communication. People want to connect with happy people. Subconsciously, they want someone who can make them happy as well. Grin and save the leave the pouty shots at the dustbin.

2. DRESS CASUALLY - formal pictures are usually a turn off. Well, that tux shot from the wedding you attended might be alright but try not to post a picture with you in a strict corporate outfit. It will make you look too serious and no fun to be with. Instead, posting pictures of the "real" you might be a good idea. It is best to post shots of you doing some type of sport or having fun on a night out.

3. AVOID TOO-HOT SHOTS - as you've probably heard, there is a line between sexy and slutty. Don't post "exotic" pictures of yourself unless it is your goal to find singles with naughtiness in mind. Also, it is a come-on for scam artists, maniacs, and people with some kind of mental problem. It sends out a signal you wish didn't give.

4. STOP POSTING OLD PHOTOS - this does no good to you or the single you're interested in. In free dating sites, it is easy to pretend to be someone you're not but this temptation should be resisted. If you gained 10-pounds in the last year, don't be ashamed of it - do something about it! But don't trick people in the process. Likewise, posting 20 year old shots of yourself is another form of misrepresentation.

Hopefully, the tips below will help you avoid disaster when visiting free dating websites. Remember to be yourself, be honest, and be confident in who you are. It will shine through amidst the clutter in any internet dating sites.
