Dating : Why do people only have a couple pictures on their dating profile?
I don’t understand people who only have 1-3 pictures on their online dating profiles. Do they have success with that? I have the maximum the app allows and my Instagram connected. I want whoever I am potentially meeting to be able to completely see the real me.
I was recently kind of catfished (more fatfished) and the guy only had 3 pictures and none were full body. I don’t really have a certain body type I’m attracted to I just felt lied to and tricked since the pictures were so old.
Now I’m finding myself noping all the guys with just a couple pictures.
So honestly why do people do that? Why not post more pictures? How many pictures do you have on your profile?
I post the max the app allows but it’s actually a struggle to even find that many to share. In my case, I almost never take pictures in the moment when I am doing something interesting that might help someone get a snapshot of a piece of who I am. My focus is on that event or activity. The last thought on my mind is documenting it to share with other people.
Perhaps this is an uncommon take in this age of social media but the idea of sharing my life openly in real time to anyone with an internet connection has also never really sat well with me.
Most guys dont have people take pictures of them
So our pictures end up being group pictures or selfies
When I first set up a dating app I didn’t take it seriously and posted 1 picture. Looking back it wasn’t even a good photo I just put one up from Facebook.
I got a lot of likes and matches and dates.
This is when I was 19 and just had tinder to have tinder for no reason other than it might be fun.
Now I take it more seriously (I’m 23) and I’m not on tinder. I’m on hinge and bumble with the maximum number of pics and a well written response to all prompts
Well i usually put around 3 to 4 but 2 of tgem are usually summer full body pics but usually people hate on that to show how good ur body looks like instat left swipe so i get why he did that xd
Two are group pics with 7 cloned white girls, and the other is her in a masked ski outfit with goggles on. Thanks!
I had a woman once tell me
> I don’t date guys with more selfies than me
So since then I stick to one or two but willing to send verification photo & usually have it mentioned
So – there are certain tells and it usually has little to do with the number of pictures; fat chicks try this all the time, and sometimes it works!
If they take a lot of photos from above, this is a bad sign. If they use the same angle a lot, bad sign. If they don’t have a body shot, bad sign. If they look too good to be true, bad sign.
You really have to use your best judgement. I’ve used old shots before when I was somewhat overweight, but I also didn’t take a single picture from 26 to nearly 31. I don’t take pictures when I’m out doing things (starting to now, but so not a habit). My collection is lame, but I do have a body shot, face shot, and several mid shots + other things. I want a decent representation of me – some people don’t.
in the 3+ years in my last relationship, I took hundreds of pictures and only 5-6 of them are of me only2 of which are selfies. otoh, thanks to my talent and efforts, my exgf now has lots of nice pictures to use on her dating profile.
Looks like I am going to need to pay for a pro to stage and take dating profile pictures or give dating a pass which is a surprisingly attractive option.
