In general, how men and women ‘read’ dating photos is different. Women tend to look more for clues about the other person and how they live their life. Men tend to look more at the person to see whether they are attracted to them.

All genders tend to look for whether a person looks friendly, approachable… and normal!

It’s important to most people to check out whether the person looks like someone you could spend time with and if there is consistency throughout the photos.

Knowing this, you can really up your dating game by using online dating photos which appeal to the people you are hoping to attract on your dating app.

5 tips on how to take dating profile pictures for men

1. Do choose photography locations and backdrops that are visually interesting and reflect who you are, the places you like to go or what you like to do. Do not do selfies in bathrooms!

2. Do make the effort to wear outfits that you might wear on a date. Think of a dating photo as doing a similar job to your Linked In profile photo. Do not wear your TV lounging clothes, even if they represent what you most like to do.

3. Do smile. Moody shots and David Beckham style brooding shots work for some people but what works best is an attractive smile. Including a few non-smiling photos can work but make sure you are smiling with your teeth somewhere in your set of photos.

4. Do include at least one full length shot

5. Do include a group shot with friends. Make sure you stand out in this group photo and that you’re not hidden at the back. You should use a photo where you are all smiling and look like you’re having a great time. Do not use a photo where you’ve photoshopped out your ex!

5 tips on how to take dating profile pictures for women

1. Do include both mid length and full length shots to show your body shape. It really doesn’t matter what shape you are as we’re all attracted to different things, but men will likely subconsciously notice the curve of your waist and hips, your outline, a hint of cleavage etc.

2. Do be brave and show off your body shape. Your outfits needn’t be clingy but they should show some shape. Avoid very shapeless jumpers and huge cosy knits. A little cleavage is good but don’t go crazy, statistics show that less is more when it comes to attractive dating photos.

3. Do make sure your photos are taken in softer, more flattering light. Statistics show that gently-lit images with fewer harsh shadows are more visually appealing to men.

4. Do or don’t wear make up. What’s most important in your photos is that you feel at your best and that you look like yourself when you go on your dates.

5. Do smile and look relaxed in your photos. Ultimately, everyone is attracted to someone who looks open and welcoming.

10 tips on how to take a great dating photo. Gender-neutral.

Though this post is gender specific many of the tips can be useful cross-gender and you may want to experiment with what works best for you on your own dating profile. Here are ten non gender specific dating photo tips…

1. Use photos that have been taken within the last year, or if more recent, better still.

2. Make sure the photos on your dating profile are consistent and that you look like the same person in each shot

3. Use the best quality photos you can and if possible, invest in professional photos. Quality photos stand out - they are bright and visually appealing.

4. Include close up or mid length shots where you can see your face. Don’t wear sunglasses or a hat that covers too much of your face. A far away shot is fine (not too far away!) if you’re doing an activity but just include one as a ‘conversation-starter’ picture and put it towards the end of your set of photos.

5. This goes for group shots too. One photo showing you with your friends or family is great. Do make sure you’re easy to spot in the photo and that everyone looks like they’re having fun.

6. And it also goes for children/ pets/ your car/ meals you’ve cooked! Remember that someone is dating you, so if it’s important to you to include your children/ pets etc aim to have one lovely one (ideally with you in it too) and put it towards the end of your set of photos.

7. Try to avoid crazy/ silly/ drunken photos, especially if you are looking for a long term relationship. People do want to see that you are fun but these types of photos may not always show you in the best light on dating websites, however fun you think you look.

8. Make sure your photos represent more or less how you’ll look when you go on your first date.

9. If there’s something you physically don’t like about yourself be brave and don’t hide it away in your dating photos. It sounds counter intuitive but when you meet up with your date they will likely see whatever it is that you may be conscious of. Chances are that in reality whatever seems a big noticeable thing to you is really not that noticeable to someone else, and if it does bother them then you won’t want to be dating them anyway. I have taken dating photos for a handful of lovely clients who haven’t liked their smile but it’s so important to include a friendly smiling shot. Enlist a photographer you can trust (whether a friend or a professional dating photographer) to get a great smiling shot that you’re happy to use, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to keep your smile hidden forever!

10. Smile. I really can’t say this enough!

Your Tinder pictures are — in all likelihood — the only thing standing between you and more matches than you know what to do with.

Look, it may seem like only male models get right-swiped, but even the Chaddiest Chads get overlooked when their Tinder pictures are lame (or even mediocre).

Even as an average-looking guy, you can set yourself apart from the pack by optimizing your Tinder pictures. Here’s our best tips.

1. The I’m-a-high-value-dude Tinder pic

Not only do selfies distort your features, they also do a terrible job showing a high-value personality in Tinder photos.

Women tend to base their attraction to guys on WAY more than physical features. An average man can look unattractive or very attractive based on the story his photo tells, and the personality traits it displays. And selfies are totally void of anything a woman would find attractive about a guy.

To get non-selfie Tinder pictures, grab a friend to take some pics around your town or doing activities you’re into. You can even take great, non-selfie Tinder pics at home alone if you’re careful about it.

2. The I-can-take-care-of-something pet pic

I know it sounds cliche and all, but it’s just scientific fact that most women really, really, really, really like dogs.

Not only are dogs adorable and cuddly, seeing you with a dog in your Tinder pic makes women think you are probably a stand-up, responsible man who can take care of something beyond himself. That’s sexy, my friend.

3. The I’m-not-a-psycho smiling picture

We know you’ve been told not to smile in photos. (See: OkCupid is Wrong About Men’s Dating Photos, and We Replicated Their Study to Prove It).

But this questionable advice actually has resulted in some unprecedentedly unattractive Tinder pictures.

Unless you’re a trained model, you’re actually more likely to look angry, bored, annoyed, threatening, crazy, or just seem a bit constipated than look sexy when you don’t smile in your Tinder photos. So provided you’re not David Beckham, you’ll look more attractive in your Tinder pics if you flash those pearly whites.

4. The let’s-not-make-this-a-guessing-game picture

No one wants to play Where’s Waldo with your Tinder pictures.

Fact is, if your first pic is of more than one dude, she’s going to either swipe left automatically or assume you’re the worst-looking of the bunch (and swipe left).

Showing variety and personality in your spread of 9 Tinder photos is definitely a good idea. But it has to be immediately clear and obvious which person you are.

Additionally, too many group pics can also make it seem like you don’t have much identity as an individual.

5. The estrogen-free-zone pic

Maybe she’s your sister. Maybe she’s your platonic bff. Maybe she’s a nun.

There are a million respectable reasons you could have lovely ladies draped over your arms in your Tinder pictures, but women tend to see these as red flags and assume you’re a cheater.

Women also sometimes interpret these pics as try-hard, desperately broadcasting “I know women! Hot women! Hot women are into me, so you should be into me!”

6. The shirt-on-because-I-understand-women photo

The issue of shirtless pics is understandably confusing for dudes. Because most guys would love to see women with fewer clothes on, we assume women want to see the same in our pics.

Wake up call: they don’t.

Look, it’s not that women aren’t digging your gains. Chances are likely that she would ultimately want to see you in your glorious birthday suit.

But because women get creeped on so much online, their first priority is safety. Forcing women to see you in a state of undress before you even meet can read as a warning sign.

Using a topless pic for one of your Tinder pictures could also give a vibe that you’re a bit cocky and jock-y, even if you’re not, so it’s altogether a risky move that can cost you dearly in matches.

7. The everyone’s-sexier-in-natural-light photo

Diffused, natural light makes you hotter. This is a fact, even though 99% of guys are completely ignorant of it.

Indirect sunlight erases lines, wrinkles, and *maybe* even that pesky unibrow. Seriously, no matter how attractive you felt in a pic of you at the bar, I guarantee you look 800% sexier outside.

Outdoor pics have the added benefit of implying you’re sporty and healthy, or — at the very least — that you leave your house sometimes.

8. Var-i-e-ty

Nine Tinder pics gives you ample opportunity to share more about yourself than the color of your bathroom walls.

Use your Tinder photos to tell a story about you, your interests, places you go to, and whatever makes you a catch (be it bicep, brain, or both).

9. Don’t guess, test

Ultimately, it’s impossibly hard to be objective about our own photos. Your favorite pic can be off-putting to women for reasons you never would think of.

The easiest way to test your pictures for Tinder is to put them on Photofeeler.

Photofeeler tells you how your Tinder photos are coming across to women (or men). Choosing profile pics this way has been known to increase matches on Tinder by 200-400%.

At least half of online dating is fantasy. And scrolling through a dating app is basically relationship porn—but instead of anonymous apartments and delivery men, this kind of porn has us ladies (and I’m sure more than a few men) imagining a passionate courtship, one that takes place on hikes in Peru, Caribbean fishing excursions, and bars with exceptional lighting.

But if you’ve ever watched porn with a woman and been annoyed when she couldn’t stop critiquing the male sex-haver’s couch, watch, haircut, socks—why is he still wearing socks?!—then you’ve learned that every last detail in an image contributes to (or impedes) a woman’s ability to become aroused. Point is: Your dating app profile should excite prospective viewers (on a more G-rated level, at least). And the photos you post have the power to fuel her fantasies just as easily as they emergency-brake them.

Some dating app truths: Women don’t love having to guess which guy you are in your photos. They definitely find it creepy if you’re shirtless in all your photos. And yes, they care about the clothes you wear in your photos—more than you realize. You may still be under the impression that women only pay attention to great abs and symmetrical facial features. But that assumption is not only rooted in insecurity (the world’s No.1 lady-boner-killer, FYI), it’s also counterproductive to your cause.

Being hot is nothing to scoff at, but it’s far from the only thing women on dating apps care about. Doesn’t it make more sense to obsess over the things in your profile photos you can change? Hot guys with bad clothes are a dime a dozen in this world, but men with really good style, clothes that flatter their bodies, and basic hygiene are the unicorns we women are searching for.

Here’s a guide to crafting a stylish (and, yes, arousing) dating app wardrobe, and arranging those for a winning, five-photo slate that’s far more likely to earn some right-swipes than whatever you have on your Bumble profile now. Who knows? You might even decide to wear the stuff in real life.

Grosso agrees with including your activities in a profile, but says to make sure you don’t fall into Tinder tropes. “The men want to be seen as fun, fit, well-travelled, established, etc. That translates into pictures of them on the ski slopes, Machu Picchu, fishing, at weddings in a giant group shot, out with friends drinking,” she explains. “It’s so generic that it doesn’t stand out. After all, who doesn’t like good food and traveling to exotic locations?! None of these images offer an entry point for conversation.”

“A killer dating photo doesn’t just show people what you look like, it tells them what you’re made of,” agrees Nelson. “If you’re smart, you can use your photos to tell people more about who you are rather than writing it in the bio. No one reads bios, you know that.”

“No pics of them having just caught a fish,” adds Grosso. “No women I know would be turned on by the sight of a dead fish.”

3. Outfits and grooming are key

Keep shirtless pics to a minimum, says Grosso, if you feature any at all. “Don't post too many selfies,” adds Shields. “A couple are fine, but take it easy, otherwise you come across narcissistic.”

In terms of clothing and styling, Nelson recommends colour. “Red is the colour of love, passion, danger. Women are most definitely drawn to it.” She also adds if you don’t like wearing colour, find a backdrop that provides an injection of it. Also, no sunglasses – eyes are the window into the soul.

“Do wear new or dry-cleaned clothes, no faded polo shirts,” adds Shields. “Even a new white T-shirt looks nice.” Dress to impress and make sure your grooming is up to snuff too. “Do neaten up your beard or facial hair, or go clean-shaven,” says Shields. “It can't be somewhere in the middle.”

4. Backgrounds

“Messy backgrounds are distracting and unattractive. You’ll lose people’s attention superfast,” says Nelson. Instead, choose a colourful simple background or something that says something about you. “Its role is just to showcase you.” Grosso adds that you should “have a clean frame, no distractions and strange objects”.

5. Don’t use old photos, even if you look good in them

“Thinking about using that photo from five years ago when you had substantially more hair or were almost two stone lighter? Best to give that a swerve,” says Nelson. “No one wants to feel deceived by their date before they’ve even sat down and got a drink in their hand!”

6. Good quality pictures

In an unsurprising turn of events for a piece in which I spoke to professional photographers, there was a wide consensus that you should get some professional photos taken.

“Good visual content drives engagement, as any marketeer knows, and engagement with your profile is the primary goal when it comes to swiping,” says Nelson. “The more increased visits to your profile, the more dates you’ll get.”

7. Avoid shots with people of the opposite sex

“No photos with members of the opposite sex that [are] younger than their grandparents, even if it’s [your] twin,” says Grosso. “They’ve got three seconds and they shouldn’t be spending it on making disclosures of ‘This is not my girlfriend.’ The same with infants: you don’t need to spend valuable space on your profile, or in your conversation, assuring people you’re not a clandestine parent.

8. Confidence and security

For Grosso, your pictures should say to a potential partner that you will not play into their deepest concerns about men. “For women, that’s safety,” she argues, saying that men need to create profiles that show they are trustworthy. “How do you create trust? Eye contacts and smiles.”

Tired of feeling frustrated every time you check your online dating sites and apps?

If you’re not getting the results you want, there are usually two major reasons. Either your dating profile sucks, or your photos do.

In this article, you’re going to learn 13 online dating photo tips that will help you line up your most attractive photos for Tinder, Bumble, or any other dating app or site, so you can meet higher quality women than ever before.

Our dating experts spent thousands of hours testing and compiling the very best photo hacks to attract women. Access this actionable intel for free!

And if you're not that hot, don't worry – keep reading for how to be magnetic and irresistible to women, no matter what you look like. And since most schools don’t teach how to take a good Tinder photo, you'll find plenty of good ideas for guys datingprofile pictures you can use for inspiration.

Let’s get started!

#1 First Impressions Are More Than Skin Deep

Studies have shown that women take about 1/10th of a second to form an impression of someone in a photograph. If she has a bad impression of you from the start, she's not clicking on your profile or responding to your message.

Here’s where it gets challenging – she’s forming opinions on just about every aspect of what she sees, including your posture, facial expression, and the clothes you’re wearing.

The technical term for this is “thin slicing,” and everyone does it in just about any social situation.

To get on the good side of her first impression, your profile photos need to convey all the reasons you’re such a great catch. This is called “signalling,” and it can make or break your online dating photos.

Think of it this way – she’s going to imagine herself in the lifestyle the profile pic conveys. It’s why unique travel photos are so successful. You're visually communicating that you’re interesting, you'll take her to exotic places, and most importantly, that you have the financial means to do it.

Here’s a comparison so you can see how signalling works:

Which guy do you think she’d rather spend time with? (Spoiler alert: it’s not the couch napper.)

#2 Appeal To Her Natural Instincts

The secret lies in evolution – that's right, we're talking Darwin, survival of the fittest, alpha male theory. Biologically speaking, alpha males are desirable mates, so you want to subconsciously convey your alpha status in your photos.

Here's an example – let's say you play basketball. And action shots make awesome profile pictures for guys, by the way. In a single photograph you communicate that you're athletic and part of a social group, two highly desirable traits.

But it can't be just any basketball picture. The best dating profile photos feature you as the center of attention – you're making a slam dunk, catching the ball, or in control of it. What you AREN'T is the guy in the background, watching the action go down around you. Get the idea?

If you’re hiking with a small group of friends, you’d want to be the one leading the way. You're the captain of the ship, the one in the driver's seat, the guy making the toast… you get the idea.

#3 Your Friends Should Make You Look Good

This almost goes without saying, but make sure you’re the hottest one in the frame of any group photo you choose for an online dating profile. As Tinder’s sociologist Jessica Carbino put it, why risk disappointing her when she realizes you’re not the one she was hoping to meet?

In fact, researchers have proven that the “Ugly Friend Effect” not only exists, it works. When you’re in a picture with guys less attractive than you, you look even more attractive by comparison.

Dan Ariely, a researcher in behavioral economics, did a simple experiment to prove that giving someone a slightly worse option makes you appear more attractive. In his experiment, he showed women two pictures – one of “Tom”, the other of “Jerry” – and asked them which guy they considered more attractive.

When presented with only two options, Tom and Jerry were evenly matched in the looks department. But when Ariely provided an ugly version of Tom in the photo lineup, suddenly Tom was rated as more attractive. When the lineup included “ugly Jerry,” Jerry was the favored one.

The moral of the story? If you have a friend who looks similar to you but less attractive, take some photos next time you’re together with him. It’s important that you look great in the photo even with him cropped out of it, but with him in it, you’ll look even better. (Note: Don’t use this as the primary photo on your profile. You should always be the only person in your main pic.)

#4 The Group Shot Quandary

A lot of guys mistakenly think that including a group shot is mandatory, because it makes them look more social and outgoing.

While it’s true that a group photo does convey those traits, it only helps you if you look great in the photo AND you’re the most attractive one in it.

Most group photos fail on one (or both) of those fronts, and it ends up working against you in the long run because it actually lowers your perceived attractiveness.

It’s probably easier to use a photo of you in a social setting, like a cool cafe or outdoor park. As long as it’s not a selfie, it’s obvious you were there with at least one other person, right?

#5 How To Send Attractive Signals

Remember, this is all about letting her imagine a lifestyle.

For men in their 30s and above, consider using a “dress up” shot. Many women looking for a mature, established man want to know you can hang at a company event or cocktail party.

A picture of you dressed nicely at a rooftop bar, a restaurant on the beach, or a yacht could have the same effect.

But avoid the cliché pictures of you rocking a rented tux at a wedding. Anyone can look good once, right? You want to convey that you look this good all the time.

If you're lucky enough to be a guy in his early 20s, good news – you can skip the suit shot – it might actually hurt your chances by making you seem too serious or even uptight. But you can still convey success by choosing a picture of you at a nice club, restaurant, or other “luxurious” surroundings.

Don’t go overboard with the fancy photos though. You don’t want to look like you’re bragging, and survey data indicates that 81% of singles want to see casual photos showing your everyday life.

But that being said, make sure your everyday life intrigues her.

#6 Channel Your Inner Dos Equis Guy

Yup, you want to be interesting. Everyone has hobbies, so pictures of you doing something you enjoy are a great idea. Riding a motorcycle, playing hockey, going for a hike – this is the proverbial “action” shot.

But make sure the photo doesn't look faked. No matter how hot you are, if you're posing by your muscle car with an “I'm so awesome, check me out” smirk on your face, your inbox isn't going to get the action it deserves.

See the difference?

Your photos should showcase your alpha side – “manly” men build things. They go camping. They go hunting and fishing. They own the dance floor.

But when you're choosing a photo, keep a sharp eye on the surroundings.

If you enjoy cooking, that's an interesting thing to showcase – unless of course, the kitchen in the background is a disaster area. No one wants to be with a slob.

You also want to highlight multiple facets of your personality, so choose a range of photos. 3 to 6 is an ideal number. While you want to have a few photos to give her the sense you’re a real person, it’s really unlikely that you have 6+ pics you look equally attractive in.

#7 Consider Going Pro, Even On Apps Like Tinder

Pro photos can be a great investment. After all, a pro photographer with an expensive camera knows how to manipulate the lighting, help you pose in a natural way that doesn't look forced, and generally bring out your best qualities. Basically, a pro will make you look better than your buddy with an iPhone ever could.

But there’s a catch – you want pro photos that don't scream “I hired a photographer for this.” You want to look casual and natural, like a buddy snapped a photo while you were out having fun.

This means no studio shots with you posing in front of an obvious backdrop. Have the photographer take them in an interesting natural environment, preferably in a few different locations.

When you’re booking a pro photographer, make sure to find one that will allow you to change outfits each time you change locations. Remember, the trick is to make it look like your photos were taken while you were out and about, doing fun, interesting things that align with your interests and personality.

When you use more than one photo with the same background or article of clothing (i.e. button up shirt), it doesn’t take a genius to guess the photos were taken together. If your photos also look like they might have been professionally taken, women will suspect you probably hired a professional photographer for your dating profile. Not cool.

That’s why your photo lineup should not feature multiple photos where you’re sporting the same clothing or even in the same location.

To that same end, you should never use all pro shots. Ideally, you want a good mix of attractive candids with a few pro shots sprinkled throughout your lineup.

Don’t have any good candids? Offer the photographer a little extra to snap some additional photos with a cellphone (in yet another location and outfit, of course). Now you should have what you need.

#8 She Wants To See Everything (Well, Not That)

You'll definitely want to include at least one full body shot that shows you from head to toe. In fact, Zoosk discovered that using a full body shot increases messages received by 203%.

If you want to show off your abs, make sure the photo is taken in a natural setting like the beach, for example. And make sure it shows your face. Naked, faceless torso shots just look tacky.

That being said, feel free to look away from the camera. When you have a variety of poses in your lineup, it’s more visually interesting. The same is true of your expressions – you’ll want some photos with a warm smile, others with a more serious look.

#9 Know When To Smile

One thing to keep in mind – a recent experiment by Photofeeler found that when you’re looking at the camera, you’re more attractive when you’re smiling. So a good rule of thumb to follow is this: If you’re making eye contact, smile. If you aren’t, smiling vs. not smiling doesn’t matter.

#10 Avoid These Common Pitfalls

You can have six incredible photos, and still sabotage your chances with one bad one. These photographic do's and don'ts will make sure you have a bullet proof photo lineup:

• Don't use a picture of yourself taken in front of a mirror (even if you keep your shirt on this time). Match.com recently surveyed its users, and found that 29% of women were turned off by a photo taken in front of a mirror with a smartphone.
• Think about what that type of photo communicates – you don't have any friends who can take a picture of you, and you're not willing to invest more than 15 seconds to make a good impression.
• The shirtless selfie – just don't. According to the same survey, 1 in 3 responding women said when it comes to dating photos, shirtless selfies were “downright offensive” and “an almost instant dealbreaker.”
• Don't hide your face in your photos. File this under obvious, but if you're going to wear sunglasses and a hat in every single picture, or show yourself from neck down, she's going to wonder if you’re wanted by the authorities, married, hideous, or what else you might be trying to cover up. In fact, 23% of single women say this is their biggest pet peeve when it comes to online dating photographs. Eye contact is essential, especially in your primary photo, as it can help spark a near-instant feeling of connection.
• Don’t use racy photographs. A full 75% of women say overtly sexual photographs are their biggest online dating foul. Keep it classy.
• Don’t use Snapchat filters, especially when it comes to selfies. Authenticity is important to the majority of online daters, and 1 in 3 singles have decided not to message someone on a dating app solely because of heavily filtered photos.
• A few light, natural-looking photo edits can make a big difference, with the key words being ‘natural' and ‘light'. Ideally, you don't want anyone to know your photo was edited at all. Statistics show 61% of online daters think the most attractive photos are natural and unenhanced.

#11 Achieve The Perfect Photo Lineup

Dating website photos should provide an overall look at your lifestyle, and reflect intriguing aspects of your personality.

You don’t want to have all headshots, because that’s boring – not to mention narcissistic. And using all travel or “action” shots will leave her wondering when you’ll have to time to go on a date with her.

Here are 6 types of photos that can work well:

1. Full length shot
2. Closeup (from your shoulders up)
3. Intriguing environment (travel shot, rooftop bar, museum, etc…)
4. A different intriguing environment
5. Activity – like a sport or hobby
6. Non-posed social/group shot

You don’t need all of these, just some of them.

Use this list as a guideline, and don’t worry if you don’t have all 6. You want to look great in all of your photos, so don’t choose a poor one just so you can check it off the list.

The most important thing for you to remember is you’re only as attractive as your worst photo. The photos you choose can make or break your dating profile – good ones equal dates, and bad ones could mean a lot of lonely Friday nights.

#12 Second Opinions Are Your New Best Friend

Once you have a selection of possible photos to use, you’ll need to choose the top 3 to 6 that get the best feedback from others and form the type of photo lineup described in this article.

How do you gather feedback from others? One way is to use one of the internet sites created just for this, like PhotoFeeler.

Or you could ask one of your hot females friends for her opinion. Even better – ask 3 to 5 females to rank them for you.

For the best results, channel your inner geek and assign each photo a point based on where your friends ranked it. So if you have 10 photos, the best photo would get 1 point, and the worst 10 points.

Do this for each friend’s ranking, then add up all the points for each picture. Use the photos that scored the lowest number of points.

Sounds like a complicated process, but choosing the best photos for online dating you can is worth the extra effort. 45% of online daters say the “Pictures” section of a profile is the most important part.

#13 Bring In The Big Guns

Photos are hands down the most important part of your dating profile. If you choose the wrong ones, you’re not going to get the results you want. Talk about frustrating!

Women are visual creatures – just like you. That means photos can make or break you on dating apps and sites. Based on OkCupid data published in Dataclysm, Christian Rudder estimated that photos drive 90% of the action.

And once you’ve got some action in your inbox, you’ve got to to keep that message exchange going until you lock in the date.
