Online Dating, WHY POSTING PHOTOS IS IMPORTANT

You want your online profile to get all the looks you can so have to post photos. Photos are critical to an online dating profile.
Not because people are superficial and will only date supermodels but because it’s important to have an notion of what someone looks like in order to know if you find them attractive.
It’s all well and good to say that someone should love you for who you are and not what you look like but is that really realistic?
Are you willing to date someone if you had no idea what they looked like or would you want to see a photo first to make sure that you found that person at least a little physically attractive?
We don’t want to be judged on their appearance but the fact is that we do use visual cues to try and tell what a person is like. That doesn’t mean that no one will want to go out with you if you don’t look like a supermodel.
Various people are attracted to different things in people. One person might find you attractive because of your eyes. Another might like your nose. You just never know.
Even if you have a great profile, it won’t get seen without photos. The photos that you use should be photos showing what you currently look like, or photos taken within a year. Don’t use your old high school yearbook photo and don’t use a photo from Halloween where you are in costume and no one can see what you really look like.
When it might feel like a risk to post a photo of yourself on your profile and you might worry about getting rejected, it’s the only way you’re going to find someone that will really love you just the way you are. And isn’t that the point?
To hit upon that person who will love you for precisely who you are, and we hope you will find that person, but you need to post photos in your online dating profile.
