If you are new to online dating you may not realize that your picture that you have in your dating site profile may not be the best one suited for online dating. You may want to change the picture often should you not be getting the amount of clicks that you would like, the problem may very well be the picture that you have.

Don’t get insulted, you are to be commended that you have taken the first step forward to online dating and you need to be complimented for that. What we are saying is that it is not always the way you look, but what you are doing in the picture, how you are presenting yourself to the dating world and all the other singles out there that are searching that database of singles. Read the list below to help give you some ideas for the not so good ideas of profile pictures.

#1: You are at the bar partying and drinking with your friends

This picture can be a big mistake, these type of pictures can make you look like a bar hopper, many times these pictures are posted to profiles to try to give the image that you are a well liked and popular person. First, with more than you in the picture other singles may have a difficult time determining which one is you, remember this dating profile is to be about you! Not everyone else in the picture in the bar. Secondly, other singles may think that is your priority and something that you do often even if that is not the case.

#2: Great picture of you but is the one you took scissors and cut your ex out

Well you have found a great picture of you that you feel will really represent you well in your online dating profile to all the singles out there, problem is it was taken you’re your ex in it and you cut that part out and most of all people can tell that someone was cut from it, this can be a turnoff for other singles viewing your profile and photo. Now in the day and age of digital photography and the ability to even crop pictures, either take that new picture or crop your ex out of that picture so that other people cannot tell you’re your ex was in that picture with you.

#3: Great picture of you standing next to someone famous

Really, unless you are good friends or family with that person do not include a celebrity in your online dating photo. You want to look important and draw that persons interest to you, not checking out the famous person standing next you. Hope these tips for online dating site photos help. Good Luck!
