Why photos are so important

If you can do all these things with photos instead of having to write about them, do it!  People relate much better to what they see than what they read.  Photos make a sensory connection with the subconscious mind, which is a much deeper and stronger connection than you can make by writing about the same thing. 

This will make your readers remember you much more vividly, which in the competitive world of online dating, is a very good thing.

Here are a few other tips to consider when adding backstage photos:

• Try to be smiling in all your photos.  It conveys much more personality than photos where you aren’t.
• Photos where you are making eye contact with the camera are always stronger than photos where you aren’t.
• Never post photos where you look like a dork.  Yes, it is important to convey a sense of fun, but not at the expense of displaying a sense of class.
• Don’t use cropped photos where people can see your ex’s severed arm around your shoulders.  If it is a clean crop, it’s fair use.  A good photo is a good photo.
• If you have the space, try to post a photo for every trait that you talk about in your profile.  Backing up your words with pictures is always good.
• Fill up your backstage gallery with as many photos as you can.  Ask your friends to take photos of you for your profile (you don’t have to tell them what it is for) while you are out having fun.  Bring your own digital camera with you if possible.  A full backstage gallery will help your online dating immensely. 

One last thing. The photos should all be different.  10 nearly identical takes of the same scene really does nothing for your profile.  Don’t fill it for the sake of filling it, fill it with quality photos.  The people coming to your profile will love it.

Happy dating!
