If you want to get noticed you need to be different.

But  does your photo help you stand out for the right reasons?

We always tell you how important having a good photo is when it comes to online dating. But there are still many people who think they know best.

We’ve seen all sorts of weird and wonderful photographs over the years and as the dating experts we knew what works and what doesn’t. Your photos is your calling card and advert that you use to market yourself. If you get it wrong it can be doing you more harm than good.

Please follow our guidelines – no sunglasses, cars, hidden faces. We also don’t allow group shots. Online dating is all about you, so don’t draw attention to anyone else.

Some people like to show themselves with a drink in hand, to give the impression they are a fun, party person. However, this can be interpreted as you having a drinking problem. Not a great asset on a dating site.

THE most important thing is to remember to smile. If you look moody or aren’t looking at the camera then you won’t connect with the viewer. If you look like a happy, positive person then you’ll get much more interest.
Of course, if you don’t event have a photograph then you are wasting your time anyway. If you don’t put one on then nobody will find or contact you, yet alone reply to your emails, Instead they’ll just think you have something to hide.

So go and add some great photos now…just remember what they might be saying about you.

Good luck!
