The psychology behind your photo for online dating

If you are bored sometime, take a look at some of the photos guys put up on their online profiles for the dating sites. If someone looks over your shoulder while you are staring at some other guys picture, well I’ll leave it up to you to do the explaining.

What do I see when I look at the vast majority of photos, both male and female on the dating sites? Thoughtlessness and carelessness.

Remember the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words?” Nothing could be more accurate when it comes to the photo you use to attract the honeys.

Here are some tips that ‘Alpha Males’ utilize for maximum impact. Remember, attraction is created, it is not something that you either have or you don’t. There is a ton of decent or better than average looking guys who get no play because they do not know the science behind attraction. Alpha Males use picture techniques such as:

1. The over the shoulder
2. Social proof
3. Funny or playful

Over the Shoulder

The first photo is one in which you are not facing the camera but are to the side of it and look over your shoulder into the camera. This photo should be taken from the shoulders up. This photo should not be one in which you are smiling, nor frowning. Just a neutral look in your eyes. You can even try a couple of takes with a slight smirk on your face.

Social Proof

The second photo is one in which you are showing social proof. By social proof, you are showing yourself in a public setting with the boys, laughing it up. This could be a party, a pool hall, bowling alley, whatever. It shows her that you have a life of your own, and you have friends that approve of you. This puts her fears in check that you are not a creep of some kind.

Funny/playful

The third one is a photo in which you are making fun of yourself, if only slightly. Go to a mall, or a hotel lobby, or any place that looks nice. Take a picture in which you are doing something goofy, such as peeking behind a garbage can. Another is to pretend like you are going to punch the valet guy out. This is a pure conversation starter for your profile. It also shows that you are a bit larger than life, another key characteristic of the alpha male.

The important thing to do is to make sure that these photos are up to snuff before you post them. Get a digital camera, or heck, borrow one and take the photos again and again until you get it right, Get a haircut, scrub your face well or get a facial, and if you are a bit pale, drop in the suntan salon for a touch of tan, and then post your picture
