Dating : Don’t be too concerned about using your best photo’s on dating apps
Sometimes people post online about not wanting to use their best photo’s on dating apps incase it gives a false impression, and to instead have a more realistic curation of flattering and maybe more ‘average’ photo’s.
***I’m not so sure about this strategy.***
I think with this more ‘balanced’ approach one may struggle to build connections on dates, because it could always be on the back of one’s mind »Hmmmm could I find someone I’m more attracted to if I had better photos » or »am I really putting my best foot forward here ».
For me it makes more sense to just go for it with your best photo’s, as long as they are (1) No more than a year old (2) Not all professional shots and have actually been taken with an average camera
(3) There is at least one full picture of your face and body.
Yes you may find yourself going on dates with people **perhaps** out of your league, Yes you may **perhaps** get some disappointed looks from your dates, and Yes you may **perhaps** spend lots of money and time going on dates which lead to nowhere.
**However**… you will soon/eventually both *understand* and *accept* who is truly in your league. You know you are putting your best foot forward and presenting the best image of yourself, and will sooner rather than later find someone who is definitely on the same wavelength as you both in terms of looks and personality.
I like this!

I guess, as a mom, I don’t have a lot of photos of just me! So, I used what I had that were beyond all selfies! Not sure if they’re just average, but I definitely used the ones I liked the best, though.
I would agree except don’t use really good photos of yourself with other people, kids, ex’s, etc. If you really want to use these photos crop the other people out so it’s just you. Don’t put an emoji or squiggly line over their face and call it good.
You’re completely wrong. All women can get away with blurry bathroom selfies with a dirty mirror and will still have hundreds of matches.
Men, you need professional photos. You need professional photos with your pets. You need professional action shots. Don’t listen to anyone who says « you don’t need good photos! It’s all personality brah! ».
