-When scanning and uploading your photo, remember to crop out the white space around the image or your photo will appear smaller and the file size will be increased.

-Remember that a smiling face usually attracts more attention!

-Do not use a Polaroid camera, cellphone or a webcam to take your picture, since they usually take unflattering photos.

-It is preferable to have your picture taken by a professional photographer or ask a friend or family member to take your picture.

If you do not have your picture taken by a professional photographer, please be aware of your pose and the background, making sure you are not slouching and the background is pleasant

-Dress well.

-Dress as you would for your first date. Pictures of people in unflattering outfits rarely get responses from matches.

-Do not post pictures with your ex’s disembodied hand hanging over your shoulder or with someone of the opposite sex. You don’t want to give a wrong impression.
