How to Select the Perfect Profile Photos
With the introduction of such online dating apps e.g. Tinder, we have seen levels of vanity excel into the stratosphere!! For many people, swiping right or left or clicking yes or no is all about convenience, speed and physical appearance. Now, this is not to say we condone this kind of behaviour.... but if one was to conduct themselves in such a manner here are the do's and don'ts of online dating profile pictures...
The Fam Man
One family picture does not go a stray. It is often perceived that people who value family are often more steadfast than those who share the idea that they are just people they happen to be related to. This being said.. when every.single.picture. (and we are talking 10+) is of the fam at the beach, the fam at the park, the fam at cousin Nick's funeral..... we are starting to think that the fam are all this person has got.The Selfie
Guys love a good selfie! And we understand this. A girl wants nothing more than to see her preferred match seeing her in what she thinks is the BEST LIGHT EVER! However girls, one too many selfies can often imply you are a one woman show with not a lot of friends to hook up with his friends. Guys... if you have to many selfies.... well then the population believes you are a world class douche and are 9 times out of 10 not the most popular man in the room.The Gym Junkie
This is a real fence sitter. On one hand we have people who love seeing others having an active and healthy lifestyle whilst slyly having a perv on those abs and bums .... HELLO! However, one to many gym photos can often lead to the presumption that you live in the gym! If you were to date this person, you can expect low calorie meals, debates over which diet works best, how they are constantly striving for greatness i.e. always lifting the heaviest in the gym and of corse GYM DATES. On the other hand, we have the rise of the "dad bod". An ever growing trend seeing more and more singles relate to these body types as they are comfortable with who they are and seemingly less intense and intimidating. Either or, one shirtless pic is enough.The Landscape Guru
Ahhh the landscape shot. Usually of Sydney's iconic views and attractions, always with a slight haze effect to bring out the mystery in ones self. Here's the facts... if you have nothing but landscapes of beaches, cliffs, restaurants, forests and anything to do with the twilight hour...... we are mostly going to presume you are a 80 year old creep on the other side of this computer.The Party Presenter
All your photos consist of you and your friends either about to get drunk, drunk, or still drinking the next day. People love to know other individuals are all up for a fun time when its necessary, however if all they can see is you with different groups of people every other weekend not knowing which way is left.... chances are your matches will decrease as quickly as your drunk high does.All in all, the have the best pictures on your online dating app, maybe try one from each category listed above. Below is a link to some cheeky lads trying to spruce up their tinder profiles in the most classic way possible... What do you think? Success or Mess?
