Singles dating online, photos are a must have when it comes to meeting other singles. Photos are the key part to an online dating profile and a successful experience. We look at several types of photos and the reasons for their importance.

No matter whether you are an experienced online dater, or just a beginner, posting photos of yourself can make some singles nervous. For instance, if you are in a period of time in your life where you don’t have total confidence in your looks posting that photo can be down right difficult, but no matter how you feel about your looks, posting several of your best photos to your profile enhances your chances of receiving communication from other singles which then ultimately leads to more and better dates. Here are some online dating photo idea’s to help you:

5 Must Have Profile Photo’s

Some of the online dating sites give you the opportunity to post up to 12 photos or more. Take advantage of this great opportunity and start posting them today, there are 5 types of photos that are important to have to help you get communication from other singles viewing your profile.

1. Close up of your smiling face. It is as easy as that.

2. A picture showing your full body, from your feet to over your head. Wear the clothes that you would want to wear on your first date.

3. Taking a picture of you from the waist up, such as sitting down and wearing your favorite shirt or blouse.

4. Picture of you doing something that you’re very passionate about, such as a picture of you doing your favorite hobby, showing your personality can be a great thing for other singles to see, but don’t lose focus of the fact the picture needs to be of you enjoying yourself, not some expensive toy you bought.

5. A profile picture of you in your favorite vacation spot such as camping or at the beach or shopping for that matter is another great idea to add to your online dating profile. Great pictures are some of the best ways to strike up initial conversations with other singles. Conversations then lead to dates!

The consequences of having no profile photo will greatly diminish your chances of online dating success. Whatever your reason is for not wanting or having a photo, the reality is that people who don’t post them don’t get anywhere near the communication as those singles that do post a minimum of several photo’s. Be proud of you’re hobbies and the things that you are passionate about while displaying that confidence in your photos. Good Luck and Happy Online Personals Dating!
