A perfect profile picture

I’ve got a problem with choosing a profile picture for a dating site. I don’t take photos often and as a result, I have a few and even less the ones that I like. What is the best profile picture in your opinion? A portrait, a photo from a party, a photo from some official occasion or some photo with you being in nature?

P.S. I’ve got the biggest amount of replies when I started using a photo from the official occasion (a conference).

Hi David,

IMO, use a photo that makes you look good, but NOT better than in person. Don’t use “beautifying” apps. Keep it natural.

I always get comments that I look better in person than the photo.

If the conference photo is working, stick with it and perhaps post other photos if the application allows.

Good luck!

A picture where are alone, you are smiling (it is an absolute must, people are more attracted to those who are smiling) you are dressed nicely, casual, and you look confident but relaxed.
