Search Results: online dating sites

Inspired by @mistixs poll When it comes to your online dating profile picture, how much time do you typically put into looking good for the picture?

What sort of pictures are more likely to make you swipe right (other methods of picking people are available)?

Selfie and specficially posed profile pictures where time and effort has been specifically put into making a profile picture for you.

Relaxed where you are doing something else but decided to use it on your datingprofile. Examples include tourist pictures, posed sport pictures (recieving medals, team pictures), work promotional pictures. No specific effort has been made into making this a great profile picture, usual daily clothes/hair or dressed up for some other purpose.

Candid, you didn't even know this picture was taken. This could be actually doing a sporting activiy (running, cycling, playing a team game), cooking a meal, digging the garden, etc. No specific effort has been made into making this a great profile picture, at the time, you didn't even notice this being taken. You saw this and thought it represented you so used it on your profile.

My profile pic would probably be classed as Relaxed, solo. I was packing my car to move house and saw someone with a camera. I hadn't done any preparation for the picture and after loading/unloading my car a few times already I was a bit tired and worn down.

There is a selfie of me out there somewhere but I didn't put any effort into prepping or posing for that (plus it was more for the background than anything else).

This isn't about me, it is about what you prefer so no snidy comments please :)

It has been my experience that women using online dating have extremely high unrealistic standards and are fickle. I've seen the same women on the site for several years so obviously they are difficult to please. They are mostly not that spectacular, unemployed below average looking yet their narcissism is glaring. Clinically obese women have ghosted me on there and I am physically fit, tall handsome and employed. Is this a place for iceburgs and land whales to gain the attention of men they otherwise lack IRL? Do women get off on men vying for their love?
