Men of the subreddit, you need these 6 photos for your dating/ matchmaking profile!
Just telling you what worked out for me; I was getting 2-3 likes per week …
Photo 1: Main photo, Portrait, smiling, looking directly into the camera, this should be your best photo, no selfies, natural background without any distractions
Photo 2: Photo showcasing your hobby eg photo while playing badminton or pickleball where your face is visible clearly, don’t have to look in the camera, maybe a gesture of win or playing a shot etc, could be a photo with you holding a dish you prepared, or you at the barbecue
Photo 3: Photo of you holding a kitten or a puppy, with you looking in the camera, smiling
Photo 4: Photo of you on a trek, along the river or beach, something in nature, natural background with trees/ sea/ lake, full body shot preferred, maybe a selfie could also work depending on the camera angle ..
Photo 5: Group photo (friends’s faces blurred) in a club/ pub/ social gathering, with you smiling, could be candid, bright lighting, or sunny background
Photo 6: Optional, but photo in a suit, where you’re speaking publicly or just at an office event, don’t have to look in the camera, could be candid.. or ….Full body shot at New York Times Square at night with bright lights and blurred background!! 😜
