As a woman, I feel if I "like" a picture, I am inviting that person to message me and flirt with me and try to hook up... which I'm not. So I avoid the like button. Not entirely sure if all women think like this though.

I have "liked" men's photos when they are smiling and look happy.

What matters more than anything when it comes to your online dating profile? One word: Photos. Photos can drastically increase your chances of getting more communication and dates. Or not.

Want to completely kill any chances of success? Then upload blurry, dark or poor quality images. This seems like an obvious statement, but thousands of people upload pics like this.

If your main photo is not clear, bright and attractive, they move on. A genuine smile is inviting, warm and appealing. Women want to see your eyes and smile.

If you look happy in your photos, women will see you as a fun person they will enjoy being around.

To make you stand out, the background should contrast with your hair color. Choose a background that is clean and uncluttered.

Your main photo should be a head-and-shoulder shot, showing you smiling and looking at the camera. You also need one full body shot, again taken outdoors and smiling.

Other pictures should show you outdoors, doing activities you enjoy. No hats, sunglasses, alcohol or stupid poses. You must be in every picture.

Caption and date each photo- giving the location and year- to make the photos more interesting and clear. Make the captions short and humorous, if possible.

Show your pearly whites! Women assume:

A nice smile = healthy mouth = good kisser

Every man I met with closed-mouth photos had horrid teeth: missing teeth, rotten, brown, gray or yellow teeth, nasty tartar, badly crooked, and/or breath that stank of rotten meat. UGH. I can't imagine kissing that.

Okay, I'm straight and I am not hitting on you, but I liked a pic in your profile. Don't get too excited though, it's because of the dogs.

I haven't liked anyone's pictures on here but I haven't spent a lot of time looking. I'm enjoying reading the posts mostly.

You’ve hit on a good strategy for getting people to like your pics.

I have never noticed my profile picture being liked. I am clearly missing something!

I haven’t liked the pictures on anybody’s profile… I don’t really go to profiles much, usually just if my finger slips... on occasion though just to see who’s behind a grand post, haven’t liked on a pic... but I’m not looking for a date... I just like atheists

I boldly visited your profile page and liked a bunch of pictures..... because I'm a rebel like that.
Also, men are significantly more "visual" then women. I can't speak for all females. I don't really care what you look like, not at first anyway. I might get curious eventually. Men tend to look for "hot" women, women tend to look for intersting or good men, looking good is an in the eye of the beholder thing.

I on the other hand took down my photo because I wanted to converse on my content rather then cover.

I hadn't noticed the likes before. Just like I don't know about the percentage and level thing. I just signed up as an alternative to facebook. I got sick of the prayer warriors plus I want a regular fellow but there aren't many from my area.

No one have liked my pics either......oh wait, I don't have any ????

There. I "liked" all of your pictures.
And sorry, you ARE hideous. But in a Manly way.
Just kidding.

I didn't know you could do this until I looked at my own profile pics. I will work to be better at liking pictures of everyone because if you took the time to post them, feedback would be nice. I just was not aware.

I've recieved some honest female feedback on how to change my photos and bio. I'm going to work on what they said. Get women's honest opinions about your photos and bio. If I had grown up with a sister, I think I would understand women much better. I think it just takes alot of practice, like everything else in life. Can't give up. In a post you could ask members 'what Is one thing I can do to improve or to make my profile more appealing to women?'. I'm going to post it now. : )

It’s a male/female thing. Expect to get less messages from women. Women tend to get a lot of messages to them on apps like this.

Who cares if people like or don't like your photos. Having meaningful conversations with someone is more important than how many profile visitors you have or how many likes your photos get. People don't like narcissism.

I get the impression there are some men who will hit on every woman they see on a dating site, or even a non-dating site with messaging etc!

I think most likes on women's pictures are from men.

I didn't even know pictures could be liked on this site...

Don't feel bad. I have a damn cute baby picture on my profile and nobody even liked that! Women always say they want a sensitive guy, but as soon as you show a little sensitivity, they run off with a guitar player. Despite the song lyrics, it ain't a "man's world." '

I honestly just don't really visit other people's profiles in the first place--so I've never liked anyone's photos.

I liked the one with the horns. Because I love guys in goofy hats.

Ok so my wife says she can tell at a glance if a guy is date worthy. I've looked at guys pics with her and it's the smile. The ones she has swiped right on look like they have a sense of humor but not an immature sense of humor (so no props). BTW, if you want more likes on your picture hold a cute dog in the photo.

I didn't even know you could LIKE a picture, but I probably wouldn't like a picture from someone I barely know. I assume women get enough compliments on their appearance, it's just white noise or even annoying.

If someone I knew well posted a picture of something fun or they seemed extremely happy, I'd like it.

I've mostly given up on online dating. When I was on match, some women liked a few of my pictures but they also didn't seem interested in dating which I thought was a little odd. I think online dating reinforces bad stereotypes in too many people and only know one couple who met on a dating site.

This "likes" thing just started. i have not gotten around to liking profile pictures. I read your biography and sometimes I fire off an email. UI don't remember if i liked a profile.
