Some of the most interesting people I have met or follow on here have no profile pics...it doesn't matter to me since I like what they say.

Good point. The more pics the more PMs.

It's not really mine - it came with the frame

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.

You have 3 seconds to make a good impression. People will see your main photo as a tiny pic the size of a saltine cracker on their cell phone screens. If your main photo is not clear, bright and attractive, they move on.

A genuine smile is inviting, warm and attractive. Both women and men want to see your eyes and smile.

The psychology is when you look happy in your photos, people will see you as a fun person they would enjoy being around.

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.
