#5. YOU’RE IN A CAVE
We’re not saying you need to hire a pro to snap your pic — you don’t — but a dmi-lit area won’t cover any flaws in your appearance. It just makes you look like a creep. It also says you have no goddamn idea how to use a camera’s flash. If possible, use natural light. If not, make sure the pic is lit well enough to see your handsome mug.
#6. THE BACKGROUND IS TERRIBLE
Dogs humping in the background is hilarious when posted to Facebook or Instagram. But when you’re trying to look badass and posting it on a dating site, the humor is still there … except women will be laughing at you not with you. The focal point of the photo should be you, not Fido getting a piece from Lassie.
#6. YOU USE A GROUP PHOTO
While she’s happy you have friends and aren’t a sociopath who stares at the wall while you wait for women to contact you online, she also might ask: “Which person are you?” Are you the dude that’s front and center? The guy in the back with his face partially covered? Point is, why make her work any harder to get to know you? Another dumb mistake with group photos: Taking a photo If there’s someone better looking than you in the photo you’re screwing yourself.
