Your Online Profile – the Picture

Advice for your online profile - the picture.

Be relaxed and look like you are having fun in your picture. Add supplemental pictures that demonstrate your hobbies and interests (i.e., you playing sports or traveling).

DO NOT include any pictures with other people. Don’t even attempt to crop the picture. FYI – we can still tell that it was a girl hanging on you at the bar. Including a picture of another person or cropping the picture takes the focus off of you and makes the viewer question – whose wedding, whose kid, is that their ex? Do not even allow such questions to surface. Pets can even be tricky. You may look real cute posing with your cousin’s lab, but the woman viewing your profile may be allergic, think it is yours, and dismiss you before reading any of the text.
