Most time people don’t get to know the brilliant, loving, caring, good and dependable heart behind the face before judging you by your look, that is why your look can determine the way people will relate with you even when they don’t know the real you. For a matchmaking site its even more complicated, most time there are thousands of faces to loom at, and the first thing that will make anyone click on your profile is not your qualifications but your picture. This is why getting it right when it comes to the kind of picture you post on a matchmaking site is not contestable. These few point will guide you when it comes to posting the right picture on your profile.
1. Do not post pictures with other people at the background: This will distract people who are looking at your picture and therefore remove you from being the center of attraction. Attention will be divided and this is not good for you.
2. Do not post picture of you with an opposite sex: If you post this, it send the signal of “i am taken or comfortable, don’t mess with me”. No matter how beautiful or handsome you look, this will push people who would have readily clicked on your picture, away.
3. Do not post picture that make you look like a workaholic: Pictures with piles of file on your table or you trying to subdue a mountain of job will scare people away.No one want to start dragging space with your job in your life, so watch it before you send a wrong signal.
4. Do not use too much make up: especially for the ladies, when your make up is overdone the first thing that comes to a mans head is “she’s fake” . Do a very light make up that make you look elegant and classy rather than owanbe make up look. The same thing applicable to the men, overly tattooing, extra large jewelries and making up like a woman will do you more damage than good.
5. Use a plain or simple background with a frame: overbuys background is a distraction, choose your background wisely, a simple plain background or one with just a simple frame will be better.
6. Flaunt your assets but don’t expose your body: If you consider any part of your body an asset, flaunt it! It becomes a problem if you over expose, especially for a strict and serious minded matchmaking site like intimate matchmaking, people might judge you wrongly if you are half naked, there’s no point.
7. Be playful: Don’t be too serious, it scares people away, a funny playful picture make you look more lively, rather than a serious looking picture that makes you look unapproachable.
8. Do not display what looks like an engagement/wedding ring: Dont get it twisted, wearing a ring on the engagement or wedding finger will send a wrong signal even if it was meant to be a fashion ring.
9. A full body picture will be good: especially when you have options to post more than one picture, post your full body picture and probably another one with just your face. This will clear any doubt about your frame and stature.
