Are You Getting the Dates You Deserve?

The first step to making connections online is having a great picture. First impressions form the basis for other’s opinions of you, so having an attractive, accurate photo that showcases your best features is essential. Profiles with quality photos receive 10 times as many responses per week as those with a poor photo or no photo at all. Pair your amazing picture with some interesting information about yourself, and you’re well on your way to online dating success.

Don’t take my word for it. Read what Evan Marc Katz, nationally recognized dating expert has to say about professional profile photographs.

Evan Marc Katz on professional photography:

“Due to the enormous competition, you want to maximize your chances of getting a first date.  This doesn’t mean posting a photo from five years and twenty pounds ago.

But if it means getting a clear, digital, close-up of you smiling with your hair and makeup done right, I wholeheartedly endorse it.

You might be more comfortable wearing sweatpants at home, but that doesn’t mean you wear it to a job interview. Your job is to GET the job. And nothing gives you a better chance to get a first date than an amazing photo of you at your BEST.

That said, I’ve always held onto this one photography maxim in regards to online dating profiles:

You’re only as attractive as your worst photo.

Which is why it baffles me that people take professional headshots and then put up a few god-awful mug shots drunkenly taken on a webcam. Anyone who clicks through is going to assume that you look like the drunkard, not the professional.

So if you’re going to go the professional route – and I encourage you to – make sure you also have a bunch of real-life digital photographs that have context. You and your friends at the beach. You and your family at a wedding. You and your dog at the park. That kind of stuff, which reveals a personality that pro shots tend to obscure….

And when you get your pro shots, just put up two of them – one close-up as your primary picture, and one full-body shot as your fourth or fifth picture. As long as you look like the same person in each photo, you will not risk the possibility of misrepresenting yourself.

But since other people do, remember this other pet theory of mine: your date will most likely be 20% worse looking than his/her best photo. Be pleasantly surprised if this is not the case.

 I have used professional photographers three different times, and each time, it’s made a marked difference in my visibility and response rate.  I didn’t do any Photoshop to get rid of wrinkles, and I wasn’t wearing black and hiding behind a file cabinet to obscure my weight. I just took the time to make the most of my looks.

Remember, these photos are intended to represent you at your BEST, not to fool people into thinking you’re someone that you’re not.

So, please, contact a photographer and watch your profile get more hits instantly.

I’ve been thrilled with the results and trust you will be, too.”
